Ben DiNucci needs to start the rest of this season

[Bigdog]

Nope. Behind this offensive line, I believe that DiNucci actually gives you a better chance to win.

Maybe but this OL is not very good and our defense is terrible.

Success is earned not given on a silver platter.

 

[MarcusRock]

Since all the posters here don't like paying players money, if we bench Dalton now we don't have to pay him his $1 million bonus for playing 35% of the snaps and somehow winning this craptastic division, which we still have a good chance of doing, believe it or not. That's right y'all, deny these players their money. You know you want to. Lol.

 

[AAron_Burrrr]

Dak fans ... yes they are really this dumb IRL

 

[JayFord]

If youre in first place (which in any semi decent divison we’d be last by 2 games) you play the guys you think can win some ball games

Ben has no NFL experience not even a preseason snap....they would eat him alive

 

[plymkr]

First, let’s be clear, even if this wretched team does somehow win this division, they’re getting bounced in the first round.

Dalton looked terrible tonight. He threw two picks but it easily should have been two more. With the offensive line in tatters, he doesn’t have the mobility to evade the rush. And his arm strength and accuracy are a shell of what they were earlier in his career.

Enter Ben DiNucci.

DiNucci is a rookie without the benefit of the preseason and he will make mistakes. But his raw talent trumps Dalton’s fading abilities as a quarterback. DiNucci can run to escape the rush and he has the arm strength to make all the throws.

And in a lost season, and make no mistake about it - this is a lost season, why not get a rookie some experience and evaluate him going into next year?

Of course, it’s not going to happen. It should but it won’t - not yet. But behind this offensive line, it’s only a matter of time before Dalton gets knocked out of a game. Then it’ll be DiNucci time. Should be now though.

One of those picks was a PI non call for the Cards. With that out of the way I completely agree with you. Let's play DiNucci and see what he has. We know what Dalton is. He's a back up with better accuracy and not much else. There is no upside of playing him besides losing draft slots. He should have had a pick 6 to start the game and got lucky. And it really showed how athletic Dak is when Dalton was basically a statue back there. I say let's see what BD is because we know what Dalton is. Dalton will give us no athleticism and no movement and lose to an average team. We can do that with Ben and then have a better evaluation of Ben since we didn't get a preseason.

From here on out we should act as if this is one long preseason. Let's evaluate and see what guys fit, or don't, MM's coaching style. Everyone gets evaluated for their jobs next year. I also say bench Zeke, DLaw, Jaylon, Dalton (obviously). Those guys are actually hurting us with their play on the field. they're a liability. Since we suck, let's roll with the young cats and see what we have moving forward.

 

[CWR]

Can't do much worse than 10 points.

The Dalton crowd learned a painful lesson tonight. He sucks. That's why he's a 32 year old back up.

They learned nothing. Lol

 

[cowboys1981]

Any experience we give DiNucci will only help him in 2021. We let him have the last drive tonight and didn't even let him pass it once?? Dalton has no future in Dallas. DiNucci does. It only makes sense.

If we lose to Washington sign me up.

 

[SSoup]

I don't think he needs to start, necessarily.

It would be wise to play him a bit and get a feel for whether we should feel good about his prospects at least as a potential #2 moving forward. He doesn't need to take over as starter and play over half a season for us to get a feel for whether he's in the ballpark or not.

But if we make up our minds to tank (and I can't see us tanking while we're in first place), yes, he probably needs to be the starter.

Sounds good to me! I’m in!

Most said the same thing about Dak too.

 

[Carter]

He wont get a chance until they arent mathematically eliminated from Playoffs. And since we are in the NFC Least we will be right in it till the last game of the season

They should have let him play and throw tonite, the game was lost by start of 4th, that way you can see if he can handle it.
I think I would give dalton 1 or 2 more games then go to dinucci.
Or just go ahead and start nucci against washington, but good grief they have to give line some blitz blocking help from rb and te's.
you cant let people come free at the qb.
Dinucci is young and it would be fun to watch I think, but the coaching is so bad I would feel sorry for him.
these coaches are making JG and his staff look good

 

[Cmac]

It would be a disservice to toss Ben in there and risk our WR/TE/RB core like that. KMoore would ruin Ben in one quarter.

 

[Blue64]

For anyone who has played the game instead of on a game console or warming their butt on a couch, Dalton wasn’t the main problem last night.

 

[Denim Chicken]

I mean, we could save some cap by not letting him meet some contract incentives.

This was his first game, though; and Zeke put him in a bad position.

 

[BlueStar22]

We actually saw what DiNucci looks like last night and I can tell you lol, that dude can't play in this league.

I would sacrifice Dalton to the Football Team, Eagles and Steelers pass rush. Then after the bye starts give Dinucci the rest of the season. He might be a good backup for next season.

 

[visionary]

There is no reason to let the Nooch get his first NFL experience behind a college level offensive line. It could hamper his development if there is any to be had.

Let Dalton finish this thing out and a lot of questions will be answered going forward.

this
If we had our starting OL then OK, but yiu will damage him permanently behind this OL
