How Dak plays is more important to the Cowboys than a win this weekend

[big dog cowboy]

I'll take the win .

I'm down with this.

Cannot score in the red zone. That is good?? When we get shellacked by SF, will you still be telling me to relax and have fun????

Uhh yea, because you literally cannot do anything about it. Drink a handle and watch, you'd be way more fun to be around.

You could at least be constructive in your criticism, your post reeks of you being overly critical while watching a game alone.

What would be the alternative if they get "shellacked"? Burn your house down...pull your hair out...throw a fit? What will all that change? Answer? Not a damn thing. None of us are in control of anything to do with the Dallas Cowboys...regardless of our sometimes "pronounced" fatalistic observations. We are just living vicariously through them...some more than others.

They will either win...or they won't. Regardless...we will have our answer about all the additions and adjustments that were made in the offseason to finally bring the 49ers to heel. They are at full strength on offense and defense. They should take full advantage of their good fortune...because it probably won't last. It's simply too long a season.

I'll say this...

If Dak can play well and beat this team, he can do it against anyone.

Win Sunday night and we can say we have legitimate Super Bowl hopes.

If the Cowboys hope to take the next step this season and become a serious contender, the change in Dak Prescott under McCarthy has to show this weekend.
Dak has to lead the Cowboys and not shut down early, as has been his history.
Under McCarthy I have seen improvement from Dak in making plays, but whether or not he can continue to do that when the team needs him to be the reason they are better remains to be seen.
It truly isn't whether you win or lose, but how Dak play Sunday night will tell you if the Cowboys have a future this season.

That's the $64,000 question of the season, can this new offense allow Dak and the WRs to function and battle and win against a good defense with the game on the line. If it happens then hope is restored in Dallas,,,

What a dumb, biased, against the forums rules, thread.

How a QB plays and their team's chance of winning or highly correlated together.

Thus, it is very unusual for a QB to have a bad game, say 3 picks and a completion percentage below 50%, and his team still wins unless you are playing a doormat team.

Ergo, Dak will have to play fairly well for this team to beat the 49ers.

No, the difference between you and me, at least for this discussion, is that I care when the so-called "elite quarterback" chokes and costs the Cowboys seven seasons.
You keep cheering Dak no matter what.

No, all you care about, pray about, is for Dak to fail. You just don’t have the nuts to admit it.

First of all Dak only played 6 full seasons due to missing a season because of an ankle injury.

So that's the first lie.

(I told yall that Dak gets blamed for the games he doesn't even play in. Here's the proof.)

Secondly, you said Dak choked every year since he's been here, correct??? Im going to call you out on your accusations and ask you to give us all six of Dak's "choke jobs" that cost us each and every one of the seasons he's been in the league.


And according to your logic, you're saying that every quarterback who doesn't reach a championship game every year apparently choked, correct??

Exceptional logic and phrases in your post. Thank you.
Let's hope that Dak is not faced with a last-second play to survive against the 49ers.

There has been no improvement in his plays but McCarthy designing the whole offense around his abilities. Way less super hero stuff, way more ball control. For whatever reasons KM thought he had Patrick Mahomes under center. It wasn't a problem beating up the little kids during regular season but it was game over whenever a true bully stood on the other side.

 

[Techsass]

Oh no!!! Another undercover Dak sucks thread by the OP.

Undercover???

 

[b0xZZ]

Dak will play like he always plays, a middle of the pack QB that doesn't read the field very well. Whether or not that is enough to win any particular game depends on how well our defense plays and of course the talent level of the opposing team.

theres no hiding his flaws in this game.. he will be under real pressure if he dont show up

 

[DogFace]

I few like he was making “more plays” when he was leading the league in passing the year he got hurt.

But ok OP. Glad you’re seeing it now.

 

[Jarv]

No disrespect intended but any OP build on a premise that it would be good for us to lose I will probably not agree with.

 

[Coogiguy03]

We will see in the first few minutes how the game will go

 

[Flamma]

How he plays in this game will be very telling. But winning is more important. But I can kind of understand the OPs logic here. Losing a regular season game to a team doesn't mean you'll lose in the playoffs to that same team. I think that's his angle. But nothing outweighs winning.

 

[ESisback]

I would settle for - I would be ecstatic - for a game in which Dak faced setback after setback, but battled from the start to finish and made the Cowboys better when they need him to.
Not a game in which the rest of the team was dominating and Dak just reaped the benefit, but a game in which the Cowboys were truly outmatched, but Dak carried the offense and put them on his shoulders and made plays to keep them close, possibly winning.
That's what the Cowboys have been missing for the last seven years, and the reason they go home early every season.

I’m just lamenting the epic overreaction to a Cowboy loss. Details, reasons, circumstances, etc., never seem to matter. For some, a Dallas loss is 100% “because #4 failed!”
