wrong but good one keep the troll post coming as if the rest fo the played well accept dak..
ON MOORE,
He had few questionable play calls BUT ,

Many big plays were open , wasn't on Moore when many players failed to execute.

Not all on KM,

2 dropped Tds, some bad routes ran, dropped passes, OL getting pushed into Dak a few times effecting plays., come on man,., just stop, was a bad game all around but we won.

ON DAK,

yup a 14 point defensive 4th qtr blown lead from being 7-0 but hey dak sux .our offense is top 3 in about every category now , when rush played bottom 10..

hes a jag and its his fault we aren't perfect...

That narrative gets old, all the negativity from fans expecting perfection. ive tried to explain to clueless types that there would never be highlight reel catches if qbs threw perfect passes all the time..those almost always come on slightly off target passes. hard to blame a QB with so many moving parts on every play.

did the WR run the correct route, did he get separations, did the OL block long enough for play to develop, is the ball tipped at the line or defender leaves his man and breaks on the other Wr routes and cut under it, and yes sometimes a qb throws bad passes.

many of Daks INT weren't really all his doing, Sunday he had his arm hit for one pick, had a man into his follow through on missed big play , and was being ran off his timing on routes and had to throw on the run or not able to set his feet.
3 dropped passes and 2 dropped tds aren't being discussed enough yet its Dak had terrible day. Like Hes on an Island and the play was perfect exception Daks poor throws.RIGHT!:popcorn::facepalm::muttley:
1st off...just because he doesn't see things the way you demand, does not mean he is a troll. Mkay?

And nobody is saying there's nothing wrong with anything else on this team. We don't need a disclaimer to talk about Dak.

Make your own threads about those if you are so concerned.

He has got to realize it’s a team game and it’s not all on him. It’s almost as he is forcing balls to rack up stats. Zeke is as good as I have seen him in years and pollard is a star. Lean on the run game and let them carry us. We don’t need all these force throws to win. We need him to stop turning the ball over and let the team rally around him. Oh and Kellen Moore needs to stop pulling the fullback in short yardage.
It boils down to Dak being consistent from game to game. The only consistency that he shows now is waiting until the 4th quarter to start playing and not showing up for big games. You can count on both of those happening.

We are urged to stay on topic by admin.

You can say what you want. But...it's pure idiotic lunacy to have to talk about EVERYONE ELSE'S problems before we can say anything about Dak.

I'm not the mum of anyone nor Karen for anybody here. I speak for what's right and wrong, regardless of agreement.

You, however...DO Karen for Dak pretty hard....so....

There is no place for Dak to evolve to. He has reached his ceiling. What you see is what you get.

We all yield to your QB guru-ship. No QB has ever gotten better as he gains experience and polish. Thanks for clearing that up for us.

What you see is what you get with Dak. He's not getting any better. Pressure causes funny thing to happen.

The eagles game may be very significant. If the eagles beat Chicago this week, then a victory over us would give them the #1 seed. They can still get the #1 seed if they lose to us, but they would need to win all other remaining games (provided the vikings and us don't lose again). So, as of today, this is not a rest your starters game for philly. In fact if they lose to chicago, the game with us becomes VERY meaningful. Could be very exciting around here.

Dak is 7-3 against the Eagles for his career.

Why would we want him to "evolve"? I want Dak and the Cowboys to go neanderthal on the Eagles.
Lol.

Two of those wins don’t matter… Meaningless games against back ups. So 5 and 3. Eagles win that overtime game where the refs screwed them over on the opening kick off, then I think screwed them over again on a long Dallas Goedert touchdown…Bottom line, he’s been good not great versus the Eagles.
But the Dak hate doesn’t even have anything to do with the Eagles… It has more to do with him continuously screwing up over and over again in crucial situation. He did it this past weekend, but to his credit he came back and still won.

They want him to evolve into a intelligent, clutch, mistake free quarterback… he’s almost 30, if it hasn’t happened yet it likely is not going to.

The Commanders best the eagles by running the football, getting off the field on defense on 3rd down and controlling time of possession. The key to win is really making Dak play like Rush.
They also forced some significant turnovers. Those were big!!

Lol.

It’s also harder to get better when your front office is subtracting around you and other teams are giving their QBs more weapons.

why are we so worried about the eagles a team Dak has been dominant over and probably beats earlier this year if healthy?

The eagles game means nothing. The playoffs is what matters. They not catching the eagles.

This is now who cares about cooper
Without him the rbs are the ones who have to pick up the slack. That's why they have 20 Tds and why were 10-3

But the time will come the Rbs can't score the benchmark of 3 tds per game

Its called the Playoffs

Our tes and wrs turn back into pumpkins without our rbs scoring all of the tds

Its right there in black and white

We need 3 tds a game out of our rb core for 3 straight playoff games if these wrs and tes are putting up these same stats

If our rb core doesn't outperform their whole team at scoring were toast.

The front office subtracting around you does not stop YOU from getting better even if your individual numbers may not look better on paper. The simple fact of the matter is this offense is largely killin it this season since Dak has returned. It's playing at or above the level it was last year WITH Cooper. I credit a lot of that to having a healthy Zeke back and Moore leaning more on the running game than he was willing to before.. albeit still not enough to satisfy me frankly.

The thing about where Dak is that he's trying to walk that tightrope between being too aggressive and turning the ball over and being too conservative and punting too much. It's not an easy balance to find .. some QBs never find it. The thing working in Dak's favor is that he is transitioning from being overly conservative. As such I think it should be easier for him to return to his natural instinct of protecting the ball than it would be if he were a natural gunslinger who needed to be reigned in. Not that it's "easy." Just "easier..."
