Help Me Understand The fear?

"who are we going to get to beat up on the bad defenses?"

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Here and now, Mike McCarthy needs to sit Dak Prescott down tomorrow and get his real attention: 'Son, don't do anything that can lose the game until after you do something that can win it.'

McCarthy has no power to bench people. No coach since Jimmy has had this. Maybe Bill Parcells because Jerry was a bit terrified of Bill but that's about it.

Lets be clear. We would be worst and most-likely not even a playoff team right now if Cooper Rush started the season as QB. Heck by now he probably would of been benched. People forget we have a top scoring offense WITH Dak. When Cooper rush came in we went from the top offense to a middle of the pack offense. And our 3rd down rush was like the worst QB in the NFL.

Our defense won those games.

People forget how stagnant our offense was with Cooper Rush at QB.

Rush is the lowest quarterback in all of football when it comes to third-down throws that resulted in a first down or touchdown. Only four quarterbacks were below 30% in that category. That put Rush (22.2%) in company with Davis Mills (28.6%), Kyler Murray (28.3%), and Baker Mayfield (23.1%).

Enough with this nonsense. We are a top scoring offense because we have an offense that is great at beating up on weak teams. A top scoring offense isn't one that fails to move the ball when they run into average to above average teams.

What is Daks record against playoff bound teams? What happened to dak the past 2 weeks against 2 playoff caliber teams? What happened to dak in the first Philly game … against SF? Those were all against good quality playoff teams and dak pooped his pants …

I don’t care what dak does against New Mexico State in his sleep, but if that impresses you, high five … now answer the original question … what are you really afraid of here?

It’s becoming more clear with every worthless stat you cite that your biggest fear is admitting that all those stats are truly worthless and Dak hasn’t won did squat .. thanks for using 737373738383 words to show that … could have been a sentence

You're right, stupid is easier with short and simple.

Don't worry about being a CEO...you aren't corrupt enough or know enough leadership principals to succeed. Try inheriting the money or the Lottery.

New Mexico State was the Highlanders...they played Texas A&I quite a bit. Wyoming Cowboys we played at the Air Force Academy, along with Notre Dame, Florida, Colorado, and Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl.

But I played with 7 Pro Bowl players at A&I...

but if all that is just crap to you, and you don't like watching and talking about the real play, then by all means, stick to trying to be successful at the gambling window.

Go ahead and sue the drunk drivers...

 

[Captain-Crash]

if we got rid of dak, how can we blame Romo? 98 percent of the lovers are Romo haters.

Probably someone who can't even do that.

 

[mrmojo]

Teams should always be looking for the next QB.....Tampa Bay got a SB taking a chance on one....Stafford got his with the Rams....and Eagles got Hurts even though they had Foles...The goal is a SB, try and get there any way you can....no one is irreplaceable.

Look, I love Dak as human … he’s entertaining as a player and fun to watch, he is full of effort and says the right things always, he even has some really good to great moments playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys … but … he also hasn’t won anything meaningful in his 8 years here … this year he is 1 win in 4 tries against “good” teams and to be honest beating Philly isn’t exactly impressive bc they could easily be 4-5 losses worse than they sho, i think most agree. .

So my question is … why is everyone so afraid of trying a new QB? We had no choice to try one last year … and he went 5-1 … many just sit back & cry “but who replaces him, imagine if we had a better RB?” …. Like did y’all forget you ran Zeke out in favor of TP so yah we’ve not only imagined, but lived through trying a new Rb and YET ..lt’s the same results .., why so afraid to try a new QB?

What’s the big fear? Actually maybe winning?

Only a minority believe the QB is at fault for all losses. Matt Stafford never won anything until he got on a better team. This Cowboys team has never been the best team in the league since the last time they won a SB. 2007 is debatable. Good quarterbacks constantly lose to teams with inferior quarterbacks.

The fear is not being able to replace what we already have.

what would be the difference between winning nothing with dak and winning nothing with another guy?

Not just that but I mean … E I G H T years … you think no one has sat dak down and had that conversation?

I personally think we can win it all with Dak. Mathew Stafford and Nick Foles are examples of QBs that won a Super Bowl that are not elite. It takes a team effort. Stafford was a known choker in Detroit. Peyton Manning was another one until he wasn’t. Everyone here wants a Mahomes or Brady. The chances of us getting a guy like that is so low. We could go 30 years before getting this elite perfect QB every Dak hater here is dreaming of. It’s luck and we might all be dead before we see a Super Bowl playing the QB carousel.

Red herring. No one suggested Cooper Rush was the long term answer. And you failed to answer the question, what are you afraid of to TRY something new?

In your scenario above, perhaps we end up with a top 5 draft pick … sure it’s not sexy as saying dak racks up stats (against garbage teams) but at a minimum we are in a much better position to take a shot to find a viable long term franchise QB … instead we will once again be picking bottom of every round trying to find another “weapon “ for the guy who has yet to capitalize on any weapons he already has … what’s it matter if we get one more guy wide open if dak doesn’t put the ball on him?

 

[plymkr]

Before the draft I said the Cowboys should get a QB and let him learn for a year behind Dak then let Dak walk. That got people fired up. So I asked this simple question, do you think Dak can win you a super bowl? If not, then what is keeping you from moving on.

The most popular answer was 'how do you know his replacement will win a super bowl'. That answer made no sense to me. You don't know that he will, but you also don't know that he won't.

If you don't think you can win a super bowl with the QB you have, why keep him and why pay him $50M+++ each year only to constrain your entire roster because of that deal? Grab a rookie and let's try again.

We all saw the revolving door of QB's after Aikman left. Suddenly you stop trying to get a QB that could win you that super bowl we have all been waiting for?

Well said. I agree. I’d rather struggle while grooming a new QB than just be a good regular season team. Dak is not going to win a Super Bowl IMO.

The fear is not being able to replace what we already have.

But why is this a fear? Sitting home on Super Bowl Sunday with dak is the same as sitting at home on Super Bowl Sunday without dak, No?

My fear is what happened between Aikman and Romo.
It was ugly.

If you are arguing that we went 5-1 with Rush then anybody in here w a brain already knows you are clueless and this topic is a total waste of time

 

[Gambit]

The Cowboys are 10-5 and going to the playoffs and we're talking about changing quarterbacks and being afraid of winning.......

This is what the board has devolved into.

Well if there is one organization where such a conversation might not happen it would be this one. The culture is just that screwed up.
