Typing yes or no would've been easier than what you just typed. I know it's hard to say yes or no for some.

And we both know why you won't say yes or no. The coward spirit
If you want yes or no, post a poll. Otherwise learn how a public forum operates.

If the defense keeps it close - yes. If the defense doesn't then I'd expect the offense to setup and at least try and make it competitive. This offense does neither. Is that "CLEAR ENOUGH" for you?
What happened against the 49ers in the playoffs? The defense was great, Dak crapped all over the bed. How many chances does he get? He's messed up a ton in the playoffs. 2-5.

So yes or no answers aren't allowed except on polls. Lol this one is special. Again, we know why you can't answer. We know
What you "know" wouldn't fit into the skull of a fruit fly my dear sir. You ask questions about a situation that isn't black and white and demand a yes and no answer. Then get offended when someone gives context. Just be honest and say that reading is challenging and move on, at least we can give you sympathy on illiteracy.

They let Romo do it in 2014.

I'm not saying I have faith in those morons but there is precedence and it was Romos best year.

You can absolutely go run heavy and have the qb thrive.
Yeah they didnt hesitate to bring in Zeke in 2016 for this exact reason. Its why I think Jeanty is very much in play for Dallas. Not saying i think that is the best route to go with how the team is currently constructed, but brining in a 1st round skill player who will touch the ball 20-30 times a game is an easy way for Jerry to sell the fans on the optimism with the offense....easy way to sell jerseys too.

In all those 49-er playoff losses his one job was to protect the football and not turn the ball over. That was his job. Couldn't even do that. But yea, apparently we are failing because we don't have a defense that pitches a shutout every time out.

It's very black and white. You expect a guy you think very little of to come up big in a big moment. You don't get dumber than that

Would anyone be surprised if Jerry trades up for Jeanty?

I expect the guy who has proven to not come up in big moments to follow pattern and continue to fail and yes true to form he failed again. In fact I don't even expect Dak to step up and make a play in the regular season when he is playing a playoff caliber team. He has so far not disappointed in that.

I have no issues taking Jeanty, I have no issues passing on Jeanty. The one scenario that would make me shake my head is trading up.....so yeah thats probably a realistic scenario
Especially after this season I'd expect Jerry would want to make a splash....get the franchise back into the headlines.

I have lost a lot of trust and respect for Dak since that green bay pants wetting, however the QB's job is to win games. The teams job is to put him in the best position to succeed. 1990 coaching won't win in 2025. Can't have a weak run game, defense and mediocre receiving corp and expect to win.

That's why you pay your QB 60kk. Just to have to develop some gameplan to make him more irrelevant on the field.

Jesus.

How do you advocate reducing the role of a player you just gave $60 million per year? His CAP his is almost $90 million in 2025. Even if they restructure his deal it will still be around $70 million or more. He should be getting a bigger role not a lesser one.

Of course I think giving him a bigger role is stupid, but the idea of reducing his role, though right, conflicts with the reality of his contract.

Everything in the article is true for most QB's... this quote from the article stands out.

Seven of the top 10 NFL teams in rushing offense are in the playoffs or should be. The top five are Baltimore, Washington, Tampa Bay, Green Bay and Detroit.
