Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign QB Andy Dalton

[DuncanIso]

Dalton is in no way shape or form the same qb as Dak. His play the past 4 years has fallen off of a cliff.

to be fair, look at he was playing for.

the Bungles.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

They literally have a stat called a catchable pass. go do some homework. A drop is a catchable ball that is dropped. You are just trolling at this point.

Yes I know. And it's a fake stat. As long as the ball gets to a certain WIDE area...it's "catchable". mkay.

The bengals at one point were a solid football team. I remember on this very board people dying for AJ green lol.

Read my original point. I get it that you are trying to win but what you are talking about has nothing to do with what I originally said.

You read my original response and you'll see I've already responded to it. Sorry, I've got other things to do besides hunting for what was posted yesterday way too many posts back. I've already responded to your original post. It seems to me to be no more than your reading comprehension that's the problem. If I'm not getting through to you, by now, it's likely a hopeless cause. I've tried already and you don't agree. I can live with that.

This move is analytics at its finest, This move has MM signature all over it. Great signing for multiple reasons with ZERO downside.
BTW, Dez is a moron and continues to prove it each passing day.

Roger Staubach proved he could play at a high level. What does that have to do with his capability today?

What are talking about? I can only assume you are putting the "unproven rookie that nobody drafted" onto Staubach and saying he worked out well. If so, Staubach wasn't undrafted, the Cowboys used a later round pick on him, plus the reason he faded that far in the draft was not because of his talent, it was because he had a 4 year military commitment before he could start his NFL career.

But even so, I wasn't indicating it's impossible for an undrafted, unproven rookie to work out, but the odds are certainly much lower that a player like that could give the team the same chance to win if the starter got hurt than a veteran who has proven an ability to play at a high level in the NFL. Think Dustin Vaughan vs. John Kitna.

 

[CATCH17]

Even if Dak does sign his tag, there's no guarantee he even plays for the Cowboys again because he still might be traded to the Jags, Pats, Bears or whoever.

The only guarantee is that Dalton is here on a 1 year deal now and his home is already in Dallas.

He's not going anywhere...at least not this year.

Do not get me excited...

What if the Jags or some other team are desperate and ready to give us a stupid deal for Dak.

 

[Risen Star]

My hope here, and it's a very slim hope, is that Jerry eventually decides he's not being negotiated with in good faith. That he becomes offended and moves on. Nothing would please me more than Dak Prescott never taking another snap in a Cowboys uniform.

The chances are like 1% but until he's signed I have hope.

And Prescott if you're reading this, we can go anytime, bro. Choose your weapons.

 

[HellCrowe]

Just hopped on to make sure this is real life. Checking all those boxes. I like Dak but I love my Cowboys. Let me echo this again, Great Move!

 

[Risen Star]

He had 5 teams to choose from but only Dallas offered the opportunity to back up a starter with no talent.

Me too...


Want this Prescott era to be over already


Jerry wont do it though.

 

[Risen Star]

Mike McCarthy’s backup quarterbacks in Green Bay: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn, Graham Harrell, Scott Tolzien, Seneca Wallace, Brett Hundley and DeShone Kizer. Wallace had the most starts (21) before joining the Packers of the backups. Kizer was 0-15 in 2017 in Cleveland. Flynn, Hundley and Tolzien were Day 3 draft picks, Harrell was undrafted. McCarthy has never had a backup quarterback like Andy Dalton, who has 133 career starts, 31,594 yards and 204 touchdowns, as a head coach.

For all those that think Dalton is a McCarthy move. Doesn't really fit his history. However, remember he said he hoped to have more input in personnel in Dallas than he did in Green Bay. If that's the case he must not have had much of a voice with the Packers.

 

[johneric8]

Do you really think Dalton would even be here if Dak had already signed?

I'm awake...are you?

Yes, we now have competent coaches who see the value of veteran backups! Kind of like the saint did with Bridgewater. It's not hard to figure it out

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

I'm not even sure Dalton beats out Rush for the backup. There will be a competition you know...

What did I win?

 

[Walker]

Garrett would have waited for Dak to sign after holdout, but MCCarthy he goes to work and gets the best option available and puts us in a position to win. There is a lot of spots for competition, thats how it should be. Nothing should be given unless your a super star and at that point you just put them as a spot for you to lose so better train up.

In the words of my friend Caffeine Fox again, Oh my goodness!!! That ends that question hehe.

My point is that Dalton proved he could play at a high level five seasons ago. More recently he has proven, quite effectively, that he cannot play at a high level.

Wow, so much for competition. I wasn't that keen on him but not even allowing him to compete for a position after giving him a contract?

Seems rather insincere on Jerry's part. For one thing, would he have cut Rush is his contract had included guaranteed money?

This doesnt exactly persuade Dak to reduce the guaranteed part of the contract being negotiated.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

Great deal for Cowboys but I feel Dalton could of gotten double that money and a shot to complete for the starting job.

Well, I guess it makes sense though given we still have Dak, Dalton, DiNucci, and Thornson. No real room for Rush.
