Dak Prescott's shortcomings are impacting the club's coaching decisions, approach

[StarOfGlory]

I don't really understand the point of a back up QB. If your starter goes down, the goal should be to tank. What good did it do us to have Cooper come in and win some games?

Nick Foles came in as the backup and the Eagles won the SB. There is always the chance. Now, if you want to argue that the 2017 Eagles were a much better team and had a defense/ run game made for the playoffs—unlike us—-yeah, we’d have been better off tanking once Dak went down. You’re probably correct.

Dak will lead us to places unknown!!!!!!

So, we’re going to the NFCCG????

If you have a legit team with a chance to make a run, it makes sense. Outside of that what is the point. Just my opinion.

Could you imagine if Jerry had not signed Dak before the season? He'd have every option in the world in deciding the QB and in fact new additions to the roster.

He could have brought in a REAL HC with true experience and gravitas who would have picked his own QB and players

The results for the next 3 seasons fall squarely on the head of one Jerry Jones........we truly could have been on a completely trajectory than we are on now.....but he caved in

Even the homers here know deep down that the next 3 seasons won't be much different

But don't we have shortcomings all over the place?

And the best part is...... not only can he not run anymore, but we've stuck him with one the leagues worst LTs on his blind side and no run game. Should make for great theater! The ratings should be huge.

Hiring BS to replace MM just made the decision to let MM walk an even worse decision.

Maybe call it tanking, but with plausible deniability...
Could given Lance a ton of snaps, contract or not....
C.Rush gone anyway.....

According to the Dak haters, no. Jerry and Stephen have built such amazing, championship caliber rosters this team would have won several Super Bowls if they weren't held back by the quarterback.

Disclaimer: This is sarcasm in case anyone actually believes I think Jerry and Stephen have done well.

Why they don't move Tyler Smith to LT, flip Tyler Guyton to RT, and get out from under Steele's big contract baffles me. But that is another subject.

Because the Cowboys FO is among the slower groups in the league admitting mistakes and moving on from them.
