He had his worst year last year he is not throwing INT's this year how is that regressing its 1 year thats a huge outlier from any other year...
Because they are afraid to let him throw more than 10 yards or in the redzone.

Late in the game Sunday, needing 2 TDs, we ran the ball 4 straight times running a few minutes off the clock. When we finally did pass Dak threw an int in the EZ into triple coverage.

He has never and will never elevate this team to anything. It's time to move on. We have a bunch of fans that are too scared of some bad years with a crappy QB to not realize that it doesn't matter anyways because we ain't going to the SB with Dak. Trying the same thing over and over with new paint on it is insanity. Dak is the constant factor that causes us to lose. We need a real QB not some 4th round kid who got lucky his first year behind one of the greatest OLs in Cowboys history and an absolutely dominant run game. Any QB could have had the success he had early on with those pieces. He needs to go. I don't care if we have some 8-9 seasons because eventually we will be better off than paying $40-50 million for a guy who ain't getting us to the promise land.
Jerry has duped a lot of fans into accepting mediocrity as great. They can’t see the big picture. They are blinded by homeriism.

yea he did. So why didnt he do it the next week against an actual good team?

It was Kellen Moore‘S fault and because Pollard got hurt, right?
He put up 357 and 3 tds against the Eagles who went to the Superbowl. Going to tell me they were a bad team?

If there ever was a game to just make a play or two it was that game.

And why is it either Gallup or lamb and never both?

That game we needed to run the ball and we needed a QB who can buy time outside the system.

Us getting down early caused this loss. Our offense had to play right into what their defense wanted.

I just stated facts. Irrefutable facts at that.

The difference was as plain as the nose on your face.
No, you don't. You post feelings with numbers that can dance any way you want them to.

Fantasy football is not football. Statistics tell less than half the story.

Am A in PE is different than an A in Calculus. Dak is a remedial student.

They were focused on not letting out wideouts get behind them and flooding zones with coverage.

We needed to run the ball to get them in more man situations.
This they made us drive the ball which we did..the redzone offense failed for sure, couldnt punch it in and couldnt throw it in once down there...the defense got killed though..i posted this in another thread:
cardinal scoring drives:
1st - FG drive -6 plays 54 yards
2nd -TD drive-7 plays 82 yards
3rd - TD drive -7 plays 75 yards
4th - FG drive -10 plays 50 yards
5th - FG drive -5 plays 22 yards (shortest scoring drive to end the half basically kicked from the 50)
6th - TD drive -4 plays 76 yards

no doubt the offense redzone was bad..but put the defense in bad spots? Josh Dobbs is the QB here...Josh freaking Dobbs

I dont see the short field or bad situation the offense left the defense in other than not matching those drives with TD's..that drive summary is bad like really bad.

MM play calling was geared towards minimizing Daks mistakes. If you have to do this with an 8 year starter, it’s time for a change.
Or was the play calling geared towards having three starting linemen out with injuries??

The Cowboys' offense isn't geared towards limiting Dak's mistakes; it's geared towards not taking risks just to pad statistics. The Cowboys will still be aggressive. What MM wants to change is not being aggressive when the defense isn't allowing you to be. That was the issue last year.
