ok..like who? "Sold QB'S are all over the place?" How so, explain please. Why has it taken the dolphins and cards so long to find an adequate QB? Look at Buffalo and the Jets lol...it took the Jets like 15 years to find a good QB. Richard Todd might be their last what I would call, stud QB. Everyone else was just meh...but I do think Darnold can be special. Browns , same thing..took them what, 25 plus years to find one good enough?..Their last good QB was Kosar. Point is, we cant go the the QB store and pick up a decent QB...it aint that easy man. Luck is involved and patience...and doing ones homework.We been blessed at the QB position over the years.

All 3 I would put them in the unproven QB category currently.

When you draft you shoot for the moon. You're hoping you draft an elite QB so you take the risk of busting.

Why would you go get a mediocre QB when you're drafting high and have a chance at hitting the QB lottery?

Since 2014 the odds of drafting a bad QB seems pretty low and the odds of getting a QB with a mediocre at worst floor seems pretty good.


BTW, I like Darnold, Allen, and i'm not sure on Rosen but he probably has a mediocre floor too.

Dolphins, Jets, Browns................ all horribly run franchises. That's a big reason why they've wandered aimlessly without a QB.

So are you saying if we didn't have Dak, we are a horribly run franchise because we also would have a QB problem? The implication is certainly there with this post.
no..saying we been blessed and we actually put the work in to find one. YES..agree, those teams been run into the ground. Lots of luck is sometimes involved. Dallas has a track record of finding A QB AND RB. Its a mindset and philosophy I think.Like or hate Jerry...he has the right folks in charge.

I think Rosen was much hype and honestly..Im not seeing it with him. MAYBE he proves me wrong.Darnold and Allen were great picks I think. Mayfield was the best out of that draft class.

Not just dink and dunk... dink and dunk and hand off (only the Bills have more rushing attempts than the Cowboys do since Dak came into the league, and I suspect if you removed all of Taylor/Allen’s QB rushes, it would reveal that Dak is in fact the king of handing off in the NFL).

Yeah dink and dunk as well as hand off that is all Dak does. Gotcha. lol

the list of running backs and QB's we have had come thru Dallas is stunning since the franchise was created. We been spoiled rotten guys.Yes we have had bumps in the road..like the Steve Pelluers, and the journeyman stop gap guys come thru...like Weeden and Quincy Carter, Vinny..on and on..but we really seem to get it right more times than not when it comes to QB and RB...now if only we can get it right at HC...

guys...we even made Troy Hambrick look good!!! lmao...and I think its because of a team philosophy. Its basic...run the rock effectively to set up the pass...The cowboys have always been a run heavy franchise,first and foremost. That's when we are at our best.

love Darnold and Allen...one day they will be in a SB. I am convinced. They seem to have the it factor. Rosen just doesn't look the part. He got comps to Rodgers coming out of college...but he falls way short. He may have the same build...but not the same talent. It may be the systems and teams he has played for. Neither has a good track record. Maybe he just needs the right set up.

Dak does have some downfield accuracy issues but all QB's are dinking and dunking.

Almost every QB throws for over 60% these days.

Most passes are shorter passes and yes Dak has missed some down field and has also hit passes down field. I have never once tried to make Dak a HOF'er but really get tired of the exaggerated slams on Dak. I don't put Dak in the elite group but then my Elite groups consist of 2 to 3 current QB in the NFL. You would think I would get use to it considering when Romo was here the same crap was thrown at him. Hell there was a time some idiot fans thought Dallas should go with Steve Walsh over Aikman. Everyone has their own agenda as well as me, my agenda is to see this team win and yes I think Dak can and will be a big part of that

Prescott is similar to Trubisky.

Two strong defenses on show last night.

It basically came down to two throws by Aaron Rodgers, both in the second quarter that resulted in the all important touchdown.

The first was a pinpoint accurate deep throw to MVS and the touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham. Both the type of throws that Prescott wouldn't execute - the first because he lacks the ability and the second is a throw he would never risk - i.e. jump ball to a guy in a congested area who didn't have two yards of separation.

That's the difference between winning and losing at elite level.

Well, you could add another difference-making throw - the projected and lame loft to the end zone that looked like the safety was the target. I would submit, Dak takes better care of the ball and does not make that throw.

Trubisky is severely reigned in by his HC for a reason. WE SAW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE PASSES. He is inaccurate as HELL. He threw an int IN CRUNCH TIME..IN THE ENDZONE. Dak is completely opposite..Dak may have a mediocre game..but in crunchtime,he is nails with ball placement and making his reads. He craves those moments. Trubisky looked afraid.

I agree completely. No moment is too big for Dak. He seems to enjoy the pressure as he has shown time and again with his clutch play.

Trubisky, on the other hand, looked lost last night, especially in the final minutes when he still had a chance to tie the game. 45 passes and only 3 points is about as bad as it gets.

That average QB has the most 4th quarter come backs than every QB in the league.....yeah Dak sounds sooo average
well he has trouble scoring in the first 3 so maybe this isn't the best stat to have. Going ahead anytime in the 4th and you win is so what, that sounds like it's more of a D holding up, winning in the last minute that's something else, you better hope his luck holds out if he doesn't learn to play well in all 4 quarters.

What a horrible opening game and I couldn't figure out Collinsworth's angle about repeating the fact most of the starters in the NFL didn't play much, or at all, in the preseason. The first games are always sloppy and these coaches prefer to kick the rust off in a real game, once the players' contracts have kicked in for the season.

We can expect to see more of the same in the rest of the games this weekend. These players are in shape but not 4Q game shape yet.

Back in the day, it was always the D's ahead of the O's when the season started and that was certainly the case last night but I wouldn't base anything off one game, especially the first sloppy one like that.

He was 11-3 last year. Everything else can be thrown out the window I'm told!

Allen was terrible last year. Darnold was OK at best.

Disagree. If it's so easy, why are there only 12-15 decent QB's in all of the NFL?

Dak was 19 of 29 and had a 81QBR that game. He had more yards and a higher COMP % than Cam.
Thus his point... that you goofballs can't wrap your head around.
Dak's worst games are far better than that.

Dak has never backed up and thrown the ball 40 times and had DAL score 3 points or less. EVER.
That was tragic.

Dak vs Indy last year 24-39 for 206 and 1 int QBR 18.8 rating 64.7 we all know they were no tds thrown that game.

Allen has looked terrible so far. Why are you guys high on him?

You thought Allen was terrible? Looked pretty promising to me. He's a playmaker.
