Draft a quarterback

[khiladi]

And his timing is terrible as well. He’s late on half of his throws and is constantly giving defenders the chance to react. That’s a big reason why his INT numbers are so high.

He easily could have had four picks yesterday.

I honestly believe this is what the whole, they want Dak to be aggressive and just trust himself was all about. It was basically trying to reduce his processing, as he just reads the field too slowly. In his early years, he was overly cautious so he avoided a lot of picks, but as many of his critics would say back then, he missed a whole bunch of WRs running open all over the field.

None of this is new. It’s been said this is who he is. He essentially “peaked” in 2019. He’s really the same QB running the system of Moore.

I think Moore needs to go along with this move and if you really like Mike let him call his offense! We need to eventually start changing things. We’ve seen this movie

He thinks too much.

Not sure what sadder the contract itself or listening to a bunch of chair jockeys complain about it knowing full well it’s not going to change

I’d move sharp items out of home in preparation for looming extension

What do you want from Dak, flashy stats or a legitimate chance at championships? Dak does a decent job at one, and normally against terrible teams (look to last Monday night for your most recent example). Unfortunately, he can't be depended on to play good against better opposition, and that has been his M.O. since his rookie year.

You keep trying to convince yourself that Dak is this top 10 powerhouse QB. The results on the field tell a different story.

You didn't read this all the way through from the prior response. It was said that we can't trade him because of his contract. I disagreed, because there are desperate teams out there who will take him. Like Broncos took Russel Wilson.

 

[Mannix]

They will draft one....but it will be in the 4th or 5th round....unfortunately.

Everyone that watched yesterday’s game knows exactly why the Cowboys lost.

Enough time, money, and resources have been invested in Dak Prescott to get to a Championship. And it hasn’t happened.

And if you’re a rational organization, you admit that and realize it’s unlikely that it ever will.

Now because of poor management, you’re financially stuck with the player and two years of the contract. But that doesn’t mean you have to be stuck on the field.

Draft a quarterback.

Send a message to the incumbent and give yourself another valid option. And allow yourself an ‘out’ from the disappointing results and financial burden.

It’s time.

We had an argument on this a few years ago that involved both Mike McCarthy and Dak and the timeline for postseason improvement. I’ve never wanted to be more wrong about my own opinions. The team played their butts off yesterday and the difference in the game was the turnovers and poor overall QB play from Dak.

I’m with you though-find an exit strategy over the next two years.

unlike many, who just want to Bash Dak and blame entirety of our franchise demise on one player (28 years of it), I don't buy into a single player being responsible. this was a collective screw up and many had a hand in it and many contributed, Dak included as one of the worst. with that said, when three of your WRs combine to get 36 total yards, and the other gets 117 yards+ then it tells me the rest suck. one player was able to find enough openings and make incredible catches. the others just ran around the field like key stone cops. when the highest paid RB in NFL history gets all of 26 yards and average 2.6 yards per carry, then he has to burden some of the blame. when the second round pick DB, shies away from making contact and ducks under a tackle and allows a big play, then yeah, he shoulder blame. this is football. tackle someone. when that same DB, has the ball hit him square in the hand, and chest area and he drops the ball at the most crucial point of the game, then yeah, that player deserves some blame. when the TE fails to get both feet on the ground, with no one around him, then yeah, he is stupid. simple play. make it. and yes, Dak had to make better decisions. throw the ball away. be smarter. in a close game, where a field goal or a single mistake could make the difference, you have to be 100% sure it won't be intercepted. if the game was 30+ each team at that point, perhaps I wouldn't have cared as much, but understand the situation. and don't get me started on the coaches.

like I said, unlike many, with an agenda, I don't have any. I fault many in this debacle. it took the whole village to screw up to get here.

Exactly what I try to explain to the Dak lovers. It’s so obvious but yet I’m chastised by folks who have only been Boys fans for the last 10-15 yrs

They won't. And you know it. As I said in another thread, what they will likely do is double down on Dak and go hog wild on getting him way more weapons. I expect a WR in the first or 2nd round. I expect maybe 2 WRs in the draft. Maybe also a TE because I suspect Schultz is going to be too expensive.

 

[Sydla]

I said it in another post but a large number of his picks are passes defenders are jumping the route. That tells you 1) he’s staring down receivers; 2) they know his tendencies; and 3) the play-calling has gotten stale.

Some of the passes he throwing are total amateur hour in terms of the types a gaffes he’s making. These are rookie-level mistakes.

The 2nd one was really sad because he just looked at the WR and there weren't one but two defenders standing there. What in the world wen through his head to think, yeah, I gotta go there with the ball.

The other telling pass was the missed pass to Gallup. Gallup was open for a big gain and Dak just threw it behind him. That happens way too often.

Schultz can take a hike as well. He’s nothing special. No need to pay top dollar for him

 

[rags747]

Trade Dak to the Jets and take their qb Wilson, I’m willing to take the risk. I also like Richardson from Florida. Trade Diggs and move up in the draft for a top qb. This defense yesterday was ready to win it this year, I have no doubt about that now.

Schultz can take a hike. I have never seen a dumber play in the playoffs in my life. How do you not get both feet in?

 

[Catpappy]

It won’t happen. As a fan you have to stay distant from this team. They don’t get to upset me anymore. I’ve moved on but still watch them. Any football person can see the problem starts from the top and will not be fixed. That is all we have now and crappy commercials.

 

[Cowboy_svt]

If even the Raiders and their bowl cut idiot in chief can see it, hopefully jerruh sees it too

 

[SlammedZero]

I'm in!!! I've been indifferent about Dak, but last night just took me over the top. Look, I think he is a GOOD QB, he will get you 8-12 wins in this league, but he isn't a GREAT/ELITE QB, and that is what you need in this league to take you to the top.

Look at the Bengals now. Cowboys level laughing stock for years and now are visiting the AFC Championship game for the second year in a row........a huge reason why because they finally got a QB. Burrow is prob my favorite QB in the league right now. Dood is tough, stands in there and takes hits, yet slings beautiful passes all over the place.

Dak ain't it. Time to start looking past him. I'm not sure where you look for one next year, but I am at very least starting my 2-3 year QB shopping window now.

 

[Stash]

They won't. And you know it.

I fear it, but I don’t know it. That’s said, the Jones boys do have a habit of doubling down on past bad decisions in an effort to be proven ‘right’.

Schultz played his last game in Dallas. And I do fear seeing them draft another 1st round receiver rather than addressing the real problem.

No one is crucifying Dak. He was the single biggest reason for the loss yesterday. Those other plays you mentioned were minor imperfections. There were plays to be made. Dak just did not make them. If he was one of the best players on the team-he would have made them. Yesterday is the ceiling with Dak. Geno put up 23 points one week ago with a vastly inferior offense against this same defense.

Nope. We won't draft a DT either. Its not the "cowboy way".
