When an offense doesn't play a single snap in preseason they are almost always behind. This offense, especially the O-Line, needs time to jel. Also have to factor in ceedee missing all of TC.

I'm not rating them until we have a big enough sample size
Exactly, brother @shabazz . Well said. Very fair. Thank you.

Yesterday, I didn’t see anything ‘great’ about Dak’s game. He was okay - which falls well short of great.
Define great and define okay ..... he did what was needed. He played great, though his stats were not great like some want.
He managed the game well (no not driving the bus) did what he needed to do. Had some downfield accuracy on passing. Found the open receivers. Did not turn the ball over.

To me that is a great game, helped lead the team to a victory.

first of all, no one was expecting a great game, game 1 MOST called for a LOSS, we were underdogs, Dak got us UP IE A LEAD set the tone, no T/OS but game 1 with no Preseason games , Lamb not in camp 2 rookies on the OL , terrible Run game right? wasn't that the 32 ranking and all the posts saying so?? historically bad run game was the talk around here??

I mean outdoors on grass against a top D , but isn't that the narrative around here that we struggle in those games?? WE WON always room for improvement.

so what all QBS have 17 great games if they have 40-60mil paydays LMAO.. sure that possible, only when the haters say that they expect perfection every game LMAO!! haters still hating.

1000% … about 4-5 years ago many started celebrating contracts instead of Lombardis.

That’s the best win Jerry could ever dream … prob why he finally caved and put Jimmy in the ring, realized him being the architect of Super Bowls was 2nd place to brainwashing a fan base into cheering the home of 2 time highest paid NFL player.

Ladies & Gentleman, Jerry Jones. Give him his due.
Landry is probably rolling over in his grave.

This is what every fan needs to realize. All the Yahoo talk now is just pi---ing in the wind. The options are pretty simple........ as Jimmy said, it's done, he will be your QB going forward.
* Accept him as your QB for next 2-3 years
* Not accept him and be miserable
* Find another team until he leaves
How stupid. You think signing a record contract eliminates criticism?
No one has to find another team, yet another dumb childish remark.
You could apply your same inane comment to any player "he's your CB, RB etc etc don't complain"

Maybe if you can't handle a discussion website use the ignore button more or hide under your blankie

Again, I don’t hate Dak. I like the player and I like what I know about the man. But he hasn’t played up to his previous contract and it’s historically unlikely he will play up to his new contract.

Yes, that was a very good defense the Cowboys defeated yesterday. But, from my seat, it was hugely due to the play of the Dallas defense which provided Dak with a bunch of short fields.

Individually, Dak made a couple of big throws while also missing several open looks and throwing dirtballs or sailing on easy shots. In, short - Dak was incredibly mediocre amd not what I’d expect from a $60 MM per year player. Go figure.

Dak carried the offense the whole 1st half yesterday. We all saw it, but you won't admit it because of how you truly feel towards Dak. It's hatred on your part, because if it wasn't, you wouldn't be acting this way towards Dak for weeks now. Your own actions and statements prove that. Backpeddle all you want, we all see how you truly feel.
Oh … I see … telling me how I feel bc you don’t like what I posted. Gaslight away, guy.

You want me to admit to fan fiction you spin up and I just can’t do it bc it’s inaccurate.

How about this, if there is something legit you want me to explain or own, quote it.

Otherwise it’s just hyperbole your imagination comes up with.

Dak’s stats disagree he carried anything.

Yesterday:

“Hey, we won. Why are you complaining about the mediocre QB play? He was facing an all-world defense.”

GB game:

“Yes, we lost, but Dak never gave up as his 403 yards passing show, and the defense was awful. Once the team went down 7-0 the game was over.”

Go play in your sand trap, kid, and be miserable all you want ...... by your lonesome.

stop bringing up money they're making its your expectations that are broken and no QB no matter how much money they have will play 17 perfect games and game 1s are the hardest 2 ROOKS in front of his historically bad RB room, no lamb in camp, i mean that was the narrative but oh move the goal posts Daks supposed to play like an NFL MVP all Pro every game or get unfairly judged buy internet keyboard tapping clown!!

NO qb has 17 great performances on rookie deals on vet mins or top market money!!!! the NFL has too many moving parts its team game!! NONE OF THEM DO!! I watched Aikman look like Jag Many games have poor performances all the time with ESmith and an OL that were dominate nearly every game, yet he had many bad games that they won despite his play. FACT

You give dak those OL and Run games and coaching staffs Aikman and Roger had and watch and learn..its team game.


your expectations are what's broke, now move on....

Do you realize how your run-on sentences read like a screeching rant? I can’t get halfway through your post before having visions of some embittered ex-wife. I checked out at ‘no QB has 17 great performances…,!!!!’
