A 7 year QB Starter should elevate a team

The defense gave up 21 points late into the 4th quarter. 6 points offensively in the second half against Arizona is unacceptable. Wake up.
Telling Ranching to wake up...let's see, raise that IQ two points and that qualifies as sedimentary rock...

No, it's a fallacy. You do not excuse failure by pointing out other failures.
you also can't look at anything in a silo. what is the norm is the key. as he said, you looked at it in a Silo, against your own measures and dismissed anything else in the same context.
he was right!!

How many turnovers did he have?
3 in 5 games.

there are several facts that get ignored. the offense got progressively worse.
the offense was 22nd or worse in the league. for the record no team in the past few years with that type of offensive output made the playoffs.

but yeah...lets ignore relevant information.

Infer?

You are trying to “infer” the game was over and the INT was meaningless, even though there were 3 minutes left, all because you trying to defend his turd play, even though it was 21-16 going into the 4th.

But in 2020, all you and your fanboys did is claim his “greatness” based upon the fact he was “coming back” and would have won the game if he had enough time. Even though we all know he was just padding stats against soft zones where the opponents were doing exactly that, running out the clock, keeping everything in front of them

When Rush got the team down to 3 against the Eagles, with almost a quarter to play, none of you were making this many excuses for Rush… the 4th string QB with a noodle arm..
the interception would have provided cowboys with a miracle chance to win the game. but should the cowboys have been in that position in the first place. you want to ignore 27 minutes and focus on the 3 minutes? we gave up 220 yards rushing. what's the record of teams giving up 220 yards rushing and winning the game.

btw, look at the interception play design and tell me what's wrong with that play? but yeah, we know, you got your sights focused on a single person.

I am not sure what Dak did to you or your family, but it sounds so personal.

Dak’s not that kind of QB. How do y’all not know this by now?

McCarthy changed the offense because he knows this.
That’s not why he changed it. He changed it because he knows what works now we have to address red zone, we move the ball up and down the field at Will.
The running game pallard it’s not an every down running back

Mike has been hinting at it for awhile. MIke, "I like smart quarterbacks" Game plan changes and one guy doesn't get the throw those bad picks anymore. shrugs.

I like Dak, just as I did Romo, but I do realize neither of them have the intangibles to will a team to a championship.

They both have won at a high level, but it will take another player or two, for this franchise to become legit contenders again.

No hate, just observing each snap, play called, execution and adjustments. There have been Non-Elite QB's that have won championships, but someone else on the team was the catalyst.

Nice guys with above average to average careers.
Well said.

Let's also ignore that the offensive game planning was COMPLETELY different with Rush in there versus Prescott. They essentially had the gameplan they do now with Dak LOL

yes, offensive game planning was different. had to be. because rush doesn't have the skills, thus you adjust. lets not forget in his first 4 games, the defense averaged 13 pts a game. allowed the offense to get away with minimal output. against the rams the putrid offense was helped by scoring from the defense a couple of times. when a team scored more than 20 pts against us, we failed.

unless you have a defense that can sustain a high level of play for an entire season, then you can't win like that. we didn't have a Ravensque defense.

the game plan for Dak! its a new offensive scheme. there is a difference between offensive scheme and game planning. I hope you understand the difference.

It’s crazy to think that “play design” has anything to do with tailoring it to the “EIGHT” year QB…

Apparently Jerry, 1-2 days ago, said that they went less vertical, to be more conservative. They’ve been talking about the offensive changed for Dak to make him more comfortable all summer long, It is very clear from this statement alone, that the routes are the way they are, including the red zone, because of Dak.

You can’t blame the routes without, in large part, blaming the QB.

Pollards awesome.

There are no every down backs in the NFL.

Your football knowledge has to be pretty low to not see what the Cowboys are trying to do with Dak.

We’ve seen the Stats Prescott offense and it’s a bunch of empty calorie stats.

I actually like this version of Dak. He’s better playing this brand of football.

The game unfolded poorly on Dallas because they got behind in a game that they needed to run the ball.

Dak’s a front runner at QB.

If he wanted to improve his game he’d get better at extending plays like Romo.

That’s how all these truly elite QBs thrive.

With Dak as a QB last year we had a lower winning percentage than we did when Rush was the QB. So no he was not number one in every major category, the most important category is winning.

Recency bias, otherwise know as "What have you done for me lately", will always be a thing in professional sports. But alas when it comes to Dak, one could ask what have you done for me ever besides having a history of bi-polar play.
Ah yes...when the defense collapses against GB and Jacksonville....coupled with guys bumping the ball to defenders in OT will do that

40 bomb vs Philly was done by everyone....

You are right.

One of the biggest concerns about Dak is his inability to elevate a team even when it's compromised. He's never really gotten over that hump and show that he's that dude. He's basically our version of Kirk Cousin's with a little more overall talent.
I will cut him some slack given the Oline injuries against Arizona but he needs to demonstrate it was an aberration and not a continuing trend or he will lose this fanbase pretty fast.
Dak's a cool dude but eventually the walk has to match the Talk.
This MEDIOCRE QB can even elevate a soap bubble
I REALLY DESPISE Jerry Jones as a GM and all the harm (with no ill will) that he has done to this team by forcing and insisting on running everything.

The JERRYJONES BOYS are a circuse i MEAN

TELL ME PLEASE TELL ME, what other owner in the NFL does the following

1. Vist radio shows often AND TALK BS
2. announce you will start, who will rest etc etc
3. changes on offense etc
4. announce gameplans

It is all about him. THIS TEAM IS A CIRCUS... HIS CIRCUS

Did you miss the clearest example of him elevating the team last year when he came back from injury? Anemic offense to #1 in every major category when he came back.

Too many people are clouded in every aspect of football bc of recency bias. It is hillarious.
Look at his post season record

Cherry picking stats. That that too is situational and play calling.

qbs rarely wing the ball in defensive blowouts. Football 101.
well, if you can make stuff up and use subjective standards like "amazing"...I'm allowed to cherry pick a stat. Your move. You want "analysis"...offer some up yourself.

He's hit his ceiling, he's proved that he doesn't have the ability to take his game to another level. Heck, MM doesn't even believe in his ability anymore with the conservative play calling he's devised this year to keep his turnovers down to a level that may help the Cowboys. Everything has to be perfect for WENTZ 2.0 to succeed and even then he finds a way to implode and put the defense behind the 8 ball, which is why Parsons exploded in the dressing room after the 9er loss and put that loss on WENTZ 2.0.
