Of course Daniels is the main player. But it’s far more complex than that. They may not even have Daniels if Snyder was there. Let’s start with that
Snyder would've traded the farm to move up one spot with Chicago to take hometown kid Caleb Williams.

I agree - getting Snyder out of there drastically changed that organization's fortunes.

No one was complaining about the Lion's defense before this game. That's playoff ball.....expose other teams' weaknesses.....
Detroit was on borrowed time with the number of injuries on defense - something like18 guys out. They got away with it in the regular season because their offense was so prolific, but it should be noted that they lost to two teams that could also put up points - the Bills and just yesterday the Commanders. They weren't the same defense once they lost Hutchinson. They had absolutely zero pass rush yesterday. They are stacked on offense, and if I were them, the 2025 draft would be all about the defense - especially the DL.

I did not think Caleb Williams was ready for the NFL when he was coming out of college. I think the difference between him and Daniels is plain to see. Caleb has the talent, but the mental part of the game eludes him. I do not think he is capable of doing what Daniels can do under pressure. Time will tell, but I was wary of Caleb Williams before the draft last year. I admit I am shocked by what Daniels is doing honestly. But this is why I preach caution when anointing young QBs.
I agree with you. I had the same thoughts. But I thought the same with Daniels. Sometimes your situation can mean a lot. I'm just saying I don't know. For example, I don't believe Darnold got any better, just put in a better situation. But people think he did. If Darnold goes to the Giants, I think he'll be the Carolina Darnold. But again, I could be wrong.

1) Daniels has more playoff wins than Dak and is going to his 1st championship game,
They currently have the same number of playoff wins. However, Daniels has a divisional round win which Dak doesn’t.

First of all, Daniels is definitely a special quarterback and will most likely have a better career than Dak, but Daniels has not won more playoff games than Dak.

Secondly, Nick Foles and Trent Dilfer has won a Superbowl on their first try and Jim Kelly hasn't won a Superbowl in four tries..... so according to your logic, Dilfer and Foles are better than Jim Kelly, correct?
I stand corrected Dak has 2 playoff wins…
Whoopdeedoo and all the QB’s you mentioned have been to championship game…

Which if you bothered reading my post, Dak will never be in one… but hey he was runner up mvp.

With Snyder gone, Jerry is in a good position to be the owner who is most detrimental to his team's success. Carolina's David Tepper is in that conversation.

His style of "leadership" is proven to be ineffective for 29 years and his son is completely over his head handling contracts.

That still is a team score card.

Let's provide some clarity:
1) Daniels has more playoff wins than Dak and is going to his 1st championship game, Dak will never see one. (30 years of this, you're leaving Tony out .....Daniels is actually tied with Dak & Romo right now)
2) the Washington culture has players that will run through walls for their team and coach. That gets results… someone asked Demarcus Lawrence if he’s coming back… the answer was if they pay me!…(DLaw has seen the Diggs and Gallup injuries and returns....you blaming him for thinking that way?)
3) DQ has done more in 1 year at the helm of the commanders than the cowboys in the last 30 and counting....(Great start and some breaks from the Football Gods all year.....TBD)
4) do any of you think the next HC is going to straighten the ship (No, it will be more dysfunction)
5) Jerry is the problem… period he does not care win or lose… but hey keep going to the games, buying the merch and keep the cowboys number 1 on Forbes….(we have the oldest GM in the league and the oldest coach that sits in the luxury suite during games)

As for fans......hoodwinked into thinking it's just Dak's fault. Our franchise is embarrassing, and if the NYG begin to change......we will be worse instead of better and this board will further lose its mind.
This.

I’m reading some of these posts and I wonder if some of you get it.

1) Daniels has more playoff wins than Dak and is going to his 1st championship game, Dak will never see one.
2) the Washington culture has players that will run through walls for their team and coach. That gets results… someone asked Demarcus Lawrence if he’s coming back… the answer was if they pay me!…
3) DQ has done more in 1 year at the helm of the commanders than the cowboys in the last 30 and counting
4) do any of you think the next HC is going to straighten the ship
5) Jerry is the problem… period he does not care win or lose… but hey keep going to the games, buying the merch and keep the cowboys number 1 on Forbes….
That’s all he cares about…

You want change? You want the cowboys to be relevant again?

Then remain fans from a distance, stop buying merchandise, watching or attending games… when the numbers go down and they will…
JJ will move mountains to get them back there…

Or do nothing and continue to share your views and opinions, knowing full well nothing will change and it will be the same year in and year out.
Oh and those of you hoping Jerry dies things will change… Stephen is worse…
Both JJ and Prescott are the ones who are weighting this team down to the point that the Cowboys are in for the fight of their life just to beat out the Giants for third place in the Eastern Division for YEARS to com................

Something to consider. The Cowboys have a handful of good players, but are not a good team. The Commanders are a good solid team without the record setting contracts.

He probably won't.

But again.... are Dilfer and Foles better quarterbacks than Jim Kelly? Dilfer and Foles only needed one try to win a superbowl, but Kelly couldn't do it in 4 tries.

So again, according to your logic, Dilfer and Foles are obviously better than Jim Kelly, correct?

Are you going to answer the question this time or deflect once again....

He definitely has the product of a top 10 executed until this injury year. Get facts straight.
No particular order

Allen
Jackson
Mahomes
Stroud
Stafford
Daniels
Nix
Goff
Burrow
Herbert

And i could argue Young will be in there next year …. who in that list are you taking Dak over ?

He makes more than all
of them and isn’t as good as any of them. I get it Dak is an idol to some of you but it’s been 9 years …

Washington, now, is a solid football organization focused on success.
Dallas is a entertainment organization focused on marketing, big stadium events, and nepotism.

I think I answered you before but here goes…
I said Jaylen Daniels has the same number of playoff wins than Dak.
However, you seem to want to bring SB winners into the equation. So here is my answer
No they are not better than Jim Kelly… just getting to a SB is hard enough, doing it 4 years in a row is exceptional.

Is that good enough for you or are you going to deviate again from my original statement?
