You mean losing games early on in the season and having that one or two wins early on could mean difference from making the playoffs and having a home-field advantage or going home or a wild card spot.
You mean that facing the defending Champs in week 1 on the road will be the game we look back on and say, yep, that's the game we could've and should've won if only dak had some preseason snaps? You say games like preseason snaps will affect how he plays the whole season. If you think a few series will help him shake off the rust, then those same amount of series vs tb week 1 will shake off the rust. If we lose to tb on the road the 1st game of the year it's not season ending. It won't be, or shouldn't be if people use common sense, the game we look back on at the end of the year and think if Dak just would've played some pre-season snaps we would've won that game and made the playoffs or had a higher seeding.

Not wishful thinking, just an example of the degree to which I distrust Jerry Jones. His degree of honesty is based on financial consequences.
oh, I don't trust Jerry either. I think his heart is in the right place, but he just doesn't know how....he acts desperate and makes a lot of wrong moves and its been that desperation for 25+ years.....when he steps back and listens to his people, even his son, we make more right decisions than wrong. but then he feels confident that we are close and he jumps in and just messes things up....he wants the credit for success so bad, he just can't help himself.

He's fine. It's football and things happen. He'll be right back in practice later this week.

As long as Mahomes is healthy they're Super Bowl bound.

A bench player playing in the preseason.

That's what the preseason is for, Rocky. This proves nothing.
But you were whining that Dak wasn't playing. So what is it - Should starters be playing or only bench players? Make up your mind and stick with it.

Starters should be playing a few series and the bench players trying to make the team play the rest.

I've never said any different. You just don't pay attention.

That's the way it used to be. Maybe more many years ago with players taking side jobs during the off season. Even Landry worked for an engineering company in the off season.

Players can, and do, get hurt at any time during the year - even at non-contact, non-padded practices. Don't want to expose your quarterback a ton when you don't have to, but there's no way to tell when the injury bug will bite...
