Brady and the Bucs all playing in preseason finale

I see this as a last second desperate attempt to prepare for what they know is coming in the opener.

Amazing what a real coaching staff can do.

Players get better by playing football.

So there’s still a chance tb brings back a hall of famer for their playoff run before we play them

And all of our fans here think Dak shouldn't play.

Meanwhile, Brady, Mahomes and Allen are all getting in important reps during preseason.

Like at least give Dak and the starters one series.

They are all much more skilled than Dak and clearly have much more desire to get better at their craft.

Dak isn't built like them physically, mentally, or competitively.

How foolish of Bowles to think the preseason does anything for his starters. He's already failing in his effort to take over for Arians.

I think fans will blast the team no matter how they handle preseason. If Jerry had said all the starters were playing people would be moaning about risking injury in meaningless games. Dak was coming off multiple injuries last year, barely practicing and not playing in the preseason, and he and the offense came out of the chute on fire.

The truth is that none of these teams is what it's going to be until at least four games into the regular season and a half of half-*** football in the preseason isn't gonna change that. The Rams notoriously sit their entire starting roster for preseason games. Look what that lapse in judgement got them in 2021.

And meanwhile Stafford (aka the reigning SB champion) played neither this year nor last (guess they were not that important to winning a SB). In addition, Jackson, Herbert, Rodgers (aka winner of the past 2 MVPs), Carr, and more are all not going to play a single snap in the preseason. Playing snaps where no one is going full speed against generic defenses has no correlation whatsoever towards winning or losing and can only derail a season which considering the situation the Cowboys are in having more injuries would do just that.

How do you know it's daks decision not to play?

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Brady must have watched the tape of Mukuamu from last week and decided he'd better know the old rust off.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

How do you know it's daks decision not to play?

I think that if Dak wanted to get a few reps under his belt before the season starts they would 100% let him.

 

[HungryLion]

Who do you think simulates Micah Parsons in their practices? Juggernaut?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Not missing this one......

and Dak has no say in who is playing and who is not including himself. He is a player not a coach or owner/GM

total opinion and no reason to question daks desire and ability based on speculation.

You really believe that don't you?

You poor thing.

Show me where Dak said he wanted to play and McCarthy or Jerry told him "No!".

If he wanted to get some reps in he could get some reps in.

He don't.

The desire isn't there.

There's more than just skills that separate Dak from the top QBs in the NFL. The desire to be great is just not there like it is for the top guys.

It sucks that we have to pay for it as Cowboys fans, and it sucks even more than some fans feel they have to defend it.

The names you mentioned don't even belong in the same conversation as Brady, Mahomes and Allen. Maybe Herbert. But all those other QBs are trash. No comparison at all.
