Do you think Dak is hiding from the Eagles game?

I've seen those who have tried to accuse Dak supporters of wanting the team to lose with Cooper Rush to make Dak look good. Yet these same fans don't see the same logic the other way, when they make these "What if Dak comes back and stinks or loses" scenarios If some are waiting for Dak to lose and play badly so they can push the "Cooper Rush is better." narrative, does that mean that they like one player over the team, like they have accused Dak fans of loving Dak better than the team? .

Do these guys have any credibility left anyway? Dalton was better, Rush is better, Dak is average, yada yada yada.

Dak's not fully healed, takes four to six weeks for a bone to heal, then a couple of weeks to build strength in his throwing hand......he'll be back after the Eagles game..

You know what’s great?

The nervous energy from the Anti-Dak Cult Members right now.

Our defense is built to win BIG with even a decent offense and a decent QB.

Even the most brain-dead Anti-Dakker says Dak is “average”. NFL players, coaches and execs had him in their top 10, but the cult members somehow know better.

Let’s go with “Dak is an average starting QB” for argument’s sake.

Okay... then that still means he’s good enough to win BIG with this defense.

That’s the real reason why they’re TERRIFIED of what might happen when Dak comes back.

“NOOOO, PLEAAASE keep Cooper Rush in, even when Dak is 100% healthy!!!”
:lmao2:
Against the Giants and Commanders he plays like he is a top 3 QB. It's against the 49ers, Cardinals, Broncos and that win and your in game against Eagles when Wentz had WRs off the street was pathetic. Those are the games where he plays like he is a 23rd ranked QB. There is more games too where he clams up too those were just a few examples.

Dak is a Baller. Let's not get carried away with criticism of the man. He has pulled the Cowboys through some big games and performed well in the heat of battle. They need him back.

I don't think the situation is so insidious. The medical staff and trainers are in charge of when Dak is cleared to be activated. Mike McCarthy wants Dak to be a full participant in a week of practice before he allows Dak to be our starting QB again. That's not Eagles week.

Polls showed that NFL coaches, players and execs ranked him in their top 10 this past offseason.

They know a LOT more about football than you do.

Give a top 10 QB a dominant defense and he can win a Super Bowl. Happens all the time in this league. Even average QBs have won rings with a dominant defense.

Man I don’t get it. I never could get a straight answer on why people hate him lol. He’s literally one of the most likeable guys in the league.
I don't hate him but he does annoy me with his constant big talk. Like how he loves people doubting us and we hear the noise blah blah then Tampa smacks the dog ish out of him. Like dude just play abd relax with the Russell wilson soundbites

What has Dak done for us lately? Let's not pretend that Dak's week 1 performance didn't happen, as you appear to be doing.
Not at all. He was awful and I am no Dak apologist. However, if you can be objective and provide an honest assessment of the QB situation Dallas, Dak is best suited to be the Cowboys QB.

The problem is Dak hasn’t played since September 11 or thrown the football like he would throw in a game so he’s not going to be ready. The last time he returned from an injury he didn’t play well so the Cowboys are probably better off staying with Rush on Sunday night. I don’t have a lot of confidence that Dak would play well heading into a hornets nest in Philly after being off a month. Even if he were to return and play well on Sunday night if the Cowboys lose the fans will blame him. The love affair for Cooper Rush will end the day the Cowboys lose with him.

Lets see……Dak didn’t play in preseason, played 3/4 of a game week one and hasn’t practiced since. Even if his hand is gtg…….he is not. Let him get some reps, rehab that thumb some more and start him after the Philthy game(if he is cleared tomorrow).

I am anxious as anyone for him to get back in and see if the game plan remains the same or if they revert back to ignoring the running game. It is clear that they need to get back to the 2016 Dak led team……
