I’m not even sure this is a hot take anymore, but I think Trey Lance using his legs and Dak Prescott without any legs aren’t that different. I would have LOVED to see Trey on them at last 9ers drive just causing fits with his legs and extending the drive
I think Dak with no legs is a bottom 15 QB

As much as I hate the picks, it the 3 yd pass on 3rd and 7 that kills me.
Time to give Lance a shot with a different offense and Mike gone.

Drafting another QB who holds promise to develop into an exceptional starter might be a practical idea, imho. Eventually, Dak could be traded for whatever we might acquire to best help the team. A highly skilled young QB would do wonders to improve our offense for many years to come.

Nobody is taking on that ridiculous Jerrah contract. The decline in 4 is blatantly obvious

Yea, what's the easiest way way to defend.....knowing what's coming. SF continue to have our number as they are able curtail our running game by 4 line-men. Not having a QB that's willing/able to use his legs further restricts our overall Offense, we're too easy/prescriptive.
If we add that Dak needs: weapons, protection, a running game and preferably a lead (and a Defense that keeps us within 3 pts)..... we've got to believe that this contract is probably Jerry's lowest point.

It starts with Jerry.....but signing Dak to that contract, at that time, is one of the biggest reasons WHY he's at fault.

And we needed to let him go regardless because he’s already proven that he can't win here.

Imagine trashing Aikman, being wrong about Dak going deeper in the playoffs, then being wrong about having "better stats". Fanzone has turned into somethin lol
Whats even funnier is that every year its easier and easier for QBs to do better now, and Daks rating is lower than Romos and has 7 Ints to Romos 2 (So much for that "Romo throws more Ints" nonsense). Imagine if Romo got to play a horrible team like the bucs with the new wildcard rules too. 4:1 TD-int ratio in the playoffs for Romo the choker
FWIW i hope Dak gets his game back together and surpasses Romo, but im only glad theyre losing cause i hate Jerry

What are you talking about??
What are you defining as success?
Doesn't matter where he is, he's always going to be the guy who just isn't talented enough to be a consistent, positive difference maker.

LMAO 
I think the Players need to publicly say they think that the play calls and the scheming sucks ,what are they going to do, what is this coaching staff have they been neutered, they can't do anything,
I would like to see them all changing the plays and really going off the deep end I'd like to see the coaches lose the team but not in a way where they play that the team just starts ignoring the coaches game plans and in the middle of the game just start playing Sandlot football and get this figured out both sides of the ball I think Prescott I mean what are you going to do Jerry says we don't want him to run what exactly are you going to do if Prescott decides he wants to run a lot in one game, you going to send him down, you benching him, are you cutting him??!!
What power does Jerry Jones and this coaching staff actually have if this team decided go full mutiny on this staff??
I mean isn't that the problem here we say that Mike McCarthy both as a head coach and more so as the offensive coordinators failing big time when you're not running the football all day long like it means something and you become one dimension on your hanging your quarterback out to dry and then you don't try to get help with your tackles or you're not locating I thought the main job is to locate the middle linebacker especially if his name is Fred Warner..
I don't get this fan base at all,
I mean which is it?!
I mean which is it you literally break these games down and you pick on the wrong players…. IMHO.
I thought that the narrative around here was that Jerry Jones and his budget basement diving for free agents, he doesn't make enough trades, he's not aggressive enough, he doesn't do enough to change the narrative on a regular basis in the offseason, then we come into that season and you act surprised when we have some attrition and a lot of injuries that there's no way to recover from it, but let's pick on the players that are just trying a little too hard because they have no choice.
How is it that you're running your fullback on 3rd and five instead of using your quarterback and the fullback in blocking some full blocking package maybe call a option play do something but that was one of the worst calls I've ever seen by a professional coach like you were going to trick somebody and then you don't even block the middle linebacker isn't that what most of the call outs are calling 54 or 55 whatever you're supposed to locate the middle linebacker especially if he's the best player on the field??
I mean you have Mike McCarthy designing high school type route trees and maybe I'm delusional saying this because it's supposed to be the West Coast offense but I've seen better stuff running by the better Texas high school teams that are competing for championships on a yearly basis… They're more creative than that, I mean when you break down the film even Troy Aikman said there's no separation, the routes are just confusing, they're too close together, they they're all in the same depth, I mean you have defenders being able to lurk around from their man and fade under and help somebody else that they weren't even supposed to help, and come underneath and get interceptions because the routes are so close together...
I mean you're going to blame Prescott for yes he was getting hit on the 1st interception he didn't get enough on it but this is because both tackles are having problems and the pressure is there almost all game, and I'm not saying it's the worst blocking I've ever seen, but on a consistent basis it's not good, and when your receivers are not getting open fast enough, or they're never open sometimes, your quarterback is just trying to give your better players an opportunity to make a play and instead you have Turpin dropping a past, Lamb never challenging the DB to avoid the INT, and when you're throwing in the tight coverage…
I know we can't blame that tight end early in the game he got his hands on it but he was double covered but the ball was thrown accurately it just wasn't caught and I'm not blaming him but I'm saying this is what the coverages look like,
anybody out here that somehow is delusional blaming Prescott and naming his $60 million contract not really looking at the fact that they have a terrible offensive play caller, terrible scheme, terrible execution by the skill players, and completely abandoning the run game is the worst run game in the NFL, and then you add in bad defense!!!
YET, somehow, we're trying to pick out certain players on the team?? when right now the main problem we have here is the coaching staff and the general manager who's unwilling to help the team.
I get it, at first, I was like yes, we do have a lot of players coming back and it is like you're bringing in new players, but it's a little late for that, you need to add on top of that a couple other players like other teams are doing, whether it works or not make an effort!!
but that's the deal somehow we're blaming the players for what everyone has said for three months that there wasn't enough done in the offseason, not enough done since the beginning of the season when these injuries started happening, and instead of going out and trying to fill those needs and right now before the trade deadline he's saying that we're OK and we're going to make a historical turn around and that might even be true we don't know there's still 10 games left..
But I can't for the life of me understand why we're picking on individual players when most of this is about the scheme or the lack of scheme the lack of adjustments and the coaches just don't have a clue on how to fix what's been broken here and some of it I don't have enough players but on offense Mike McCarthy is the most horrible play caller we've ever had!!
I didn't say it last year because I thought the first year of his offense they would have the first half of the playbook and then they would build on it and we have come into this team relatively healthy on offense we're missing Brandon cooks that's it I mean they had an opportunity to move Tyler Smith back out the left tackle and use a different left guard and then maybe put guy in that right tackle and make some moves to improve the offensive line and didn't do it they have the players on offense that they basically started with so they have no excuse on why they're so bad but when we watch the film nobody's getting open on a regular basis and when they're open the separation rates are some of the worst in football and then you have to add in what I said the scheme's horrible there's too many people close to each other I watch other teams they have guys almost at least one on every play that's almost wide open and it's up to the quarterback to get that guy the ball if he's not being pressured and running for his life..
Yes, I know that this is going to fall on deaf ears most people are not going to read it because this is my first time posting since Sunday, because I can't deal with most of the people in here and I knew I was going to go on a full rant, and I'm going to put this on every page so everyone is forced to see my rant!!
I'm forced to see them picking on players when really this starts from the top; Jerry Jones and the coaching staff first and foremost those things could have been fixed at the bye week and instead yeah Mike McCarthy lying to us the run game was working in the first half and I don't care what the score was you abandon it 56 yards by a professional team and not doing anything in the second-half it's on the coaching staff not the players it's on the coaching staff...
This has been by far the worst run game I've ever seen and it's not because the players name it's not because of Derrick Henry this is non commitment to the run game if you run the ball 25 to 30 * a game in which you need to get any kind of resemblance of a run game can wear a defense out it helps your quarterback by not having the defense be able to tee off because they know it's one dimensional.....just UGHH!!!

I don't subscribe to the "he ain't a star qb, since he ain't a star, I'm not paying him current qb market prices....I'll roll the dice"
I'm completely out on rolling the dice when we have a good bus driver. I will apply blame to Jerry for not drafting a qb in the 3rd and later rounds every couple of years to see if you get lucky and find a player better than Dak.
But I am completely out on ditching a good bus driver for a roll of the dice. Dak is good enough to win at his salary if the gm and playcallers pulled their weight

Dak is here through 2025
He might not start, but they will pay him.
2026 allows for a post June 1 cut.
There’s hope.
