Help Me Understand The fear?

[MikeT22]

“he (Dak) also hasn’t won anything meaningful in his 8 years here.”

I guess the first road playoff win since Aikman that Dak won is meaningless to you. Dak’s also about to have more playoff wins than Romo, which is an extremely low bar for our franchise but still it’s the best we can do in three decades with a lunatic owner as our decision maker. I never saw Romo face the hate that Dak faces. Total bs.

We had the same debates over Romo too.

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?

It's not a fear, it's common sense. You guys who just want to try someone else, never actually give any credible examples of who and how to go about it. If you think Rush is better than Dak we can stop now, because I won't waste my time speaking with a fool.

I'm sorry but Dak winning a playoff game on the road against a team with a losing record and Dak having more playoff wins than Romo just doesn't move the needle. It just shows how far this franchise has fallen.

You don’t replace a top 6/7 QB without something better lined up

Why do y’all keep using Romo as the benchmark when he’s in fact a red herring … Aikman is the benchmark … he won championship games and super bowls … so not sure why y’all keep bringing up Romo other than yea can’t answer the question honestly.

I won championships in high school and college, so no, single playoff wins without a championship don’t matter to me, and they shouldn’t to you. Participation trophies are not what we are here for.

You happy to not have a Super Bowl in almost 30 years?

Exactly. The holiday jerry kool aid is stronk this year

Drinking during gestation was definitely an issue

 

[BusDriver]

You didn’t answer the question… what are you afraid of? What’s worse than already not winning a Super Bowl every year?

Why are you afraid to even TRY and line one up?

 

[BusDriver]

Tell us more, how has it impacted your life? Clearly missed a few classes … and were coddled into thinking you’re funny … so how else has it impacted you? Other than being ok with a losing team, again.

I’m so sorry that happened to you, not so funny guy? Or is it they/ them/ she/not sure?

And I understand your disability, but the question was, why are you afraid to try a new QB?

 

[BoysForLife]

… meanwhile Brock friggin Purdy is in the conversation for MVP … so much for trying, right? Imagine the niners had stuck with Jimmy G, hoping n praying?

This is on point. Jimmy G was "pretty good" and the team was winning but the goal isn't pretty good. The goal is Lombardis. Or at least that used to be the goal in Dallas

Of course not. I want to see us win a championship again but we have a lunatic for our owner .

I only mentioned him because the poster said Romo never faced the same hate/criticism. But he did and often rightfully so.

Legit … someone referenced the rams above … they knew Goff wasn’t the answer so went and got Staffor, Niners moved up for lance bc Jimmy G wasn’t it … then moved on from lance to Purdy … etc etc …

The real question here .., what team, who is close to winning it all, like the rams were, is giving away 3-4 firsts to get Dak bc they think HE is the missing piece? Not one team is doing that bc they can all see he can’t beat playoff teams even in “meaningless” games like yesterday

 

[cowboys1732]

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

And in turn are 98 percent of the Romo lovers actually Dak haters? I just don’t understand the ulterior motives and loyalties to either one, because neither made it past the divisional round. Although Dak still could, but I am unfortunately, doubtful that will happen.

Personally, I am a fan of both quarterbacks.

This. While I liked Romo and do like Dak, I’m also not blind to realizing, reality is reality, and 2017 vs the packers was the best we will ever see of Dak in the playoffs. Sad right? But it’s facts … Dak couldn’t go head to head with sorry *** Tua or Over hyped turnover machine Josh Allen. Says a lot.

Doesn’t matter if you like a player or not … it’s what they achieve and help the team achieve … who takes the fall this year?

 

[john van brocklin]

But … we haven’t won anything since Aikman … so how can trying be any worse? Eight years not enough?

Why can’t anyone answer what’s to lose? Why the fear? None of it makes sense … oh look what happened after airman before romo? What? The results have been the same since Aikman .., no Championship games sniffed and zero shot at a Super Bowl … he’ll they can’t even beat playoff teams with any regularity … on repeat for almost 3 decades

The larger problem is our GM.

Don't trust an amateur to find the next great QB.

This I can understand and agree with … don’t trust that ole coot to create success… which really is part of the point here … if we need jerry to stumble into it like a blind mouse carrying a broken clock … are we not better off pulling the trigger more than once a decade to try?

One shot every 10 years versus 5 or 6 shots every 10 years. Dallas won’t even try … why?

 

[JBS]

Keep dancing and deflecting, soldier … you missed class when they taught the definition of the word argument … so no answer to what you’re afraid of other than admitting Dak ain’t it?

I don’t have a problem w that stance at all. I’ve been there and done that

The real common denominator, in my opinion, is Jerry. Dak is the best option on their current roster to win today. But I am all in to make a change at QB next season if it gives them a better chance to win.

Either way, they have other issues than just the Qb, in my opinion. The running game has been atrocious for the most part. Pollard is a change of pace back and Dowdle is definitely not the answer.

Jerry assembled this roster. The buck should stop with him, he should take the fall…at least with me he does. Not that he gives a rats a&&.

Fans will hope to win regardless who the quarterback is. No fan that posts here is “afraid” to change quarterbacks. And if Jerry Jones does not sign Prescott to an extension it will indicate he is not afraid, either. If he does sign him to an extension than I’m afraid how we feel about it, scared or otherwise, doesn’t mean a thing.
