With Zeke out we need to pass the ball more and try and get our passing game on track. We need to put up some TDs and stop having to settle for FGs all day.

Let Prescott pass like he's supposed to. Have a balanced offense with Dak passing. There is absolutely no reason to keep Dak at QB if he's just a minor upgrade to Cooper Rush. I know he's better than Rush, but he has to prove it. This game would be a good start.
NO raosn its not minor, its more than a minor upgrade but his deal is a huge dead cap hit you can't JUST get rid of Dak without MAJOR cap complication and Dak controls whether he goes or not, NO TRADE Clause.;.

so what your saying is sit a better player over money or trade him for a huge cap hit to play ho to be elsewhere, we would pay most of his salary its in bonus and guaranteed money. Come on!! LOL Daks better , no matter to a degree most wont agree on but come on , Daks our guy for 2 seasons more before hes even tradeable, eat his $$ for Rush who would have us at 500 if he played 17, that's fact, he was begining to get exposed more each week he played.

dak doesn't need to run but hey if its there, take it lie that first play last week would like to see him go get 10 and gain some confidence. .no need to force it.

that was dak at his worse last week, which is Rushes best, keep that in mind. if 75% compl% 200 yards and No T/Os 114 QBR is considered bad half the Legues in trouble at qb this year because that better then then most. dont forget the DC 90s team #8 had half his games just like that.. seriously. those are Aikman like stats when you run hard and often and play strong defense and your FG kicker makes most of his kicks..

Dak will improve each week IMHO weve seen dak pout up huge number but if he can do what he did lat week in wins , why is that bad thing? did that also with an OL once again getting beat and getting penalized, had huge catch fumbled at the 5 by Brown etc etc etc

I still maintain that Prescott is right up there with Lamar and Murray when it come to athleticism, agility and raw speed.

I know several here may point out 40 speed but Dak has football speed. Kind of like Cooper Kupp but with more hip fluidity. Some here have made fun of those hip twist exercises that Prescott has done but it’s really the key to his agility

I can see 5-6 designed runs and he WILL average 10 yards a run. Make bank on it

He is easily a sub 4.7 and he runs with flippers on. Come on man be serious.

he runs like forest Gump with polio braces on his legs. no bending of the knees, awkward runner, and not fast. don't forget the pigeon-toed runs too.

Romo needs to teach Dak his 360 degree spin rollout move for rolling out of trouble.

Prescott was good in the red zone running early in his career. Other than that, he has stones for feet and it's a major factor in why he struggles to get away from the sack.

Don't get me wrong, I am much closer to your line of thinking, even though I have less faith in our offense than you. It's not just Dak.

I'm also fully aware of his contract. My comments were more towards giving him an extension. He's actually up for one after next year. But knowing Jerry, he'll wait until after 2024.

I called it!!!

First rushing touchdown of the year by Dak baby! 14-0 us

Prescott ran a 4.79. Why do you think he's "easily" a sub 4.7 guy? Where does that come from?

His argument is that the 4.79 at the combine is before the broken leg in 2020 so that probably added a couple tenths to his time unfortunately.
