Don't forget he was trash before Cooper got there and we were going nowhere.

Dak has improved as a QB since then. And the receivers pre-Cooper were guys like Allen Hurns, Tavon Austin, and Deonte Thompson. The group of Lamb, Gallup, Brown, and Turpin are light years better than those guys.

Yup. Really lit up the worst defense in the league today. Before dallas D got 5 turnovers we had a whopping 3 points to the lions 6. You are very foolish to believe Dak is anything more than a below average QB.

So if Dak did light them up the narrative would still be how bad the Lions defense is and that Dak didn't do anything special. Dak wasn't going to come off six weeks of no action (and zero preseason action before week one) with an injury to this throwing hand and "light up" anybody.

If this is still happening in a few weeks then we have a Dak and or offense problem. For now I want to give the guy a chance.

The problem is you can't see it. He's going back to pre Amari, 85 rating 40qbr 20 points per game Dak. He needed Amari more than anything else cause hes such a poor QB who cant read and react. Needs someone to get wide open and Cooper was one of 5-8 guys in the league that can do that. Sorry you can't see it.

We're talking about 2018 Dak now?

You're right, I can't see. I can't see how a quarterback that "can't read or react" can be in the NFL for seven years now, win 55 games and throw 150 touchdown passes. The Cowboys must have the greatest coaching staff ever or the defenses they are facing are dumber than dirt not to stop him from doing this.

LOL. He beats up on bad/terrible teams and a weak division for many years now. Anytime he faces an above 500 team he ***** the bed. Most of his stats are either against trash or stat padding 4th quarter prevent defenses giving up anything and everything with a double digit lead. Don't be foolish.

Remaining schedule and our opponents offensive rank, only Eagles in the top 10.

Bears (28th)
Vikings (19th)
Giants (25th)
Colts (14th)
Texans (30th)
Jaguars (11th)
Eagles (4th)
Titans (31st)
Commanders (24th)

Bad news is, our offense is 27th.
Probably a good time to mention- I hate the Eagirls

Does Dak underperform against those teams alone or have the Cowboys underperformed as a whole? I'm not going to sit here and say Dak is elite, even his biggest fans have to admit he's in the 8-12 range. But I would really like to see how a healthy Dak would perform now against great teams now that the Cowboys have a defense. Football is a team game and unless your QB is throwing two pick sixes a game no one player wins or loses by himself.

All that matters is this: is Dak good enough to win a Super Bowl? And that answer is yes if you consider some of the QB's that have gotten there (Nick Foles, Eli Manning, Joe Flacco, Jared Goff, Jimmy Garroppolo, etc.) in recent years.

As we saw today, we can play down to any opponent, so I am not banking on any wins.

All those QBs are light years ahead of Dak. They all have gotten to a super bowl and can read a defense.

We saw dak with a good defense today, and he looked average.

No turnovers, completed 11 of his last 12 passes, coming off a six week layoff with an injury to his THROWING hand, and won the game.

Yeah, I'll take that "average" the rest of the season. Like I said in other threads, let's give him time to knock off the rust. You'd think Dak was Josh Rosen and Dallas lost 35-10 today with the vibes of this forum, jeez.

That's because we are hungry for the big prize and tired off flaming out in the playoffs
