You can't as when a 3rd and 7 come up Dak unlike Rush will throw one of his classic inaccurate passes or get sacked for holding the ball too long as reading defenses is the Moon for him!
Enjoy Rush and the wins while we can....

I had a very similar situation as a coach.....unfortunately, I'm not allowed to share it....but, I will say this. Dak is the starter for a reason, when he is 100% or at least close to it, he needs to be on the field. Rush has done a great job and KM has too. My hope is that KM learned that he doesn't need for Dak to throw 70% of the time. I hope that Dak has learned to be patient and not check into passing plays as much. I feel that he is constantly trying to justify his contract...he needs to wipe his butt with his haters and just play football.
This is exactly the case. Exactly!

It’s a great brand of football we are playing by necessity, but it isn’t sustainable. If we ever fall behind by multiple scores with Rush the game is over.

Hopefully the injury ends up being a blessing for everyone and they all see the light.

I do think Dak presses because of the contract, but I also speculate that Jerry is in Moores ear for the same reason….to a degree.

My worst fear is they bring him back too soon and he has a bad game at home against like Detroit or Chicago, and this whole thing blows up.

Only Jerry Jones sees a QB controversy as a good thing, and I don’t know if MM controls that locker room enough to keep it all together considering Jerry is always sticking his nose in and running his mouth to the media.

That’s my big problem with Jerry….he is trying to create interest and sell his product, and the media would love nothing more than a divided locker room.

Fine post Ranching. Just one part "rubs" a little the wrong way.

If he plays within himself, corrects the flaws that were pointed out and accepts that he can't carry an offense (which was labeled as "hate"), won't he just be proving the criticism correct?

Any butt wiping is him getting the filth off his own game IMO. Which is what all players should be striving to do and all fans have a right to expect.

This is Foles/Wentz all over again.

Dak is ruined in Dallas.

He will be required to play lights out and lead us to wins. He will press to show he's "the guy" and he will fail because he's not skilled enough. The fans will proceed to throw trash at him again until he is gone.

Cooper has already proven he can read defenses better than Dak. It would be a colossal mistake to take the starting job away from him.
Lol! He doesn't need to read defenses, most of his plays are timing patterns to his first read...watch the film

Yeah, that's locker room talk...I probably should have been a bit more civil.

I would add one thing:

Dak, please stay away from the mics. Shut the F up and just do your job. Most of the stuff you have said in front of cameras during the last couple of weeks have nothing to do with leadership. The worst being the "just a bump in the road" comment.

Show us, not tell us. Do your thing and show us you're the QB these 2022 Cowboys need and deserve to make it all the way. And THEN say whatever you wanna say as it will be like preaching to the choir.

I agree with this...

Is neither an option? I've seen enough of Cooper to tell his limitations will bite us before too long. I've seen enough of Dak to know he might put up more points at times, but he becomes a pumpkin in the playoffs.
the TEAM becomes pumpkin ion the playoffs, shall we forget 14 penalties (had zero effect on teh offense huh), bad play calls, bad execution, etc etc et defense allowing the run game to control the game , defense allowing the offense to score on the first 4 drives Those are acceptable as long as we call out Dak huh, daks supposed to overcome poor team play now? ..lmao

can we ban fans ?? i wish we could...:facepalm::huh:;)

I was hoping this was a poll to lock people into their positions but doesn’t seem like we can make a poll.
I think most of us know where frequent posters stand. We're all just being fans with opinions....I just don't like tearing down one of your own players....especially, from those that don't really understand the game and base everything on stats and wins i. A team sport. Dak had to press and score points because our defense sucked....they kind of football leads to mistakes....with this defense, he shouldn't have to press. He and KM need to dial it down and drive the bus.

Here's a poll......

1. Anyone who wants a better chance to win votes for RUSH.

2. Anyone who wants great (Garbage time) stats and a certain loss vote for Dak.

I felt at the time of the contract this kind of scenario was most likely. He hasn't shown an ability to play well on a consistent basis so I have no faith he can now with the pressure to save his career.

So that fact that he had a piss poor defense doesn't mean anything? Figures....those that don't like him have blinders on...
