I don't believe Dak will just come in and light it up

[Big D]

Oh I guess you missed it when Cooper was out there winning with the team and he made sure to knock him down a peg by saying how simple the game is, how he couldn't wait to get back and take the offense up a notch. Or how when the only thing the media was knocking Rush for was arm strength, Dak jumped right up talking about all the pop on his balls. You're right though, it wasn't so much bold as it was just, pathetic.

Perhaps that's more your perspective than anything. When you're sidelined you get a chance to see things differently and it's not a slight or knock on cooper at all. And him talking about the pop on the balls was an answer to a direct question about how he's throwing. One of the TE's was interviewed and he said the same thing. Was it a backhanded slight on Rush too? Of course not.

 

[Vtwin]

Remember how he came out throwing the ball all over the place after missing 3/4's of the previous season and recovering from a big injury?

I'm not buying the rust factor. He will not be throwing to anyone that has not thrown to before, except the TE's. He is not going to see anything different from defenses that he hasn't seen before.

If the hand injury is causing him problems he shouldn't be out there. That should have been determined in practice.

No excuses.

True but this is the Dallas Cowboys not the Dak Cowboys. His job at QB it to go out and operate within the system, him going out trying to force the action is not winning football. I don't care if he throws for 400 yard or 250 but what I do expect is to utilize the weapons around him and for this offense to be productive.

End. The. False. Narrative.

End. the. BS.
That was from first game of 2021 season. How many times are you going to post that to bolster your bs?

 

[MojaveJT]

You don’t pay big money to a guy that needs to “get in the groove.” You think Brady, Rodgers, or Mahomes have expectations like that?

You want that pay, you better bet your azz you come out swinging from day 1.

As many times as I need to so people will stop blaming Kellen Moore for being to pass happy.

He's calling run plays. It's up to Dak to stick with it.

I understand that the Dak fans don't like to see this stuff because it doesn't fit their narrative, but at least maybe it will stop others from jumping on the "blame everyone but Dak" band wagon.

Narrative huh? This was the knock on our offense with Romo too. Defenses know that our qb is instructed to switch the play if the defense shows a certain look. I guess all the times that was mentioned over the years you missed it.

"Kellen Moore is to pass happy and it hurts the offense" is 100% a narrative that is pushed by the Dallas Prescott crowd.

Why wasn't he too pass happy with Rush? Why all of a sudden is everyone say "Hey! this is the offense we should run when Dak comes back! Golly geez!"? Why is it that when proof is presented that shows the Dak has a bad habit of audibling out of run plays it's not taken seriously?

You can be blind to it all you want, but Dak's low level of reading a defense combined with his low level skills are a problem that holds this team back from it's potential.

You do know Rush would change calls at the line as well. It is based on what defense is showing. Moore himself commented on Rush changing the play on a 3rd and 12 vs the Rams instead of the pass, they ran the ball and picked up the 1st down. Yes plays will get changed at the line Rush did it as well.

That's where reading the defense comes in.

Rush can do it better than Dak.

Why can't you all see this stuff? You really don't have to be a football expert to see these things.

He was and we lost due to it. Rush passed 38 times to Hurts' 25. Explain that. Knowing that we've got to lean on the run, explain 15 rushes to coops 38 passes. I know, Dak did it!

Gosh I have you the football expert. lol Where do you come up with this? Dak can't read defense? really you are going to stick to that? Rush was given limited reads pretty much 2 man read, his 1st int he was going to that WR from the get go, he has not been looking defenders off. So keep saying dumb crap you seem to believe it and that is all that matters as long as you believe it.

What would you know about it? You’ve repeatedly shown that the team exceeds your own expectations. You are really bad at understanding the league and the players.

That's a 1 game example out of 5.

It just so happened to be the only loss and we were down the entire game.

 

[mcmvp]

BC he will never cost us that.

Unless he completely stinks or gets a major injury.

You guys act like we have never had huge cap numbers that have been moved around before.

Cute… You make it sound so simple. Yeah they will just juggle $100 million of cap hit money over the next two years and everything will be fine

you make it sound as if this will have no effect on other players they could bring in, or whether or not it will be easy for them to part ways with him

My post is literally right below yours and you're still making things up. I expect nothing less from the nervous Dak fans. Sunday is getting closer and closer and it's showing.

like the 1 game last year you keep posting over and over? 1 of 17 in a year we ended being 15-2? Like that one?

And what quarterback coming off of a month long injury wouldn't need a tune-up game or two to get back into a rhythm????

I think many of you who don't like Dak for whatever reason were angry that the coaching staff didn't throw a rusty Dak in there against a hot and great Philly team because you wanted him to look bad just to fit your little agendas. This is another example of rooting against your own players.

It makes most of you angry knowing that Detroit and Chicago ahead of a bye week may allow Dak the easier reps to get back into playing shape and rebuild a rhythm with the offense. Nobody in their right mind would gloat over Dak having "get right" games against the Lions and Bears. REAL fans would want our coaching staff to put Dak in the best position to get back to being a top 10 caliber quarterback for the success of THE ENTIRE DALLAS COWBOYS TEAM.

Haters would rather have seen Dak get rushed into a game against a DIVISION RIVAL who's on fire and who would likely try to swat at Dak's hand to affect him moving forward so they wouldn't have to worry about facing him again and it could affect the outcome of the overall divisional positioning come playoff time.

Who do you think the Eagles would rather face, Dak or Rush...... exactly.

When a boxer with a championship belt gets injured and then comes back to fight....9 times out of 10, he's not fighting against another champion boxer. He's fighting against a fighter or two with lesser risk to get his rhythm back. Why is that???

When injured NBA players start getting back into games after weeks of recovery.... they're not thrusting themselves into mid-season games vs the Warriors or Celtics..... they'll play in the games vs teams like the Wizards or the Raptors..... why is that???

Okay, so you want a bromance with Dak?


A boxer get his brain pulverized. That's one of the main objective in a boxing match, to render your opponent unconscious. You ever seen a boxer after a 12 round match? A lot of them actually spend a few day in a hospital after a fight.
Each NBA team plays 82 games. So, a player can be a little choosy when to return. Even so, what difference does it make? You can easily expend just as much energy, and risk injury, no matter who the opponent is.

There are only 17 games in the NFL. Cowboys are already 2.5 games behind the division leader. And the chances of cowboys winning the NFCE looks doubtful at the moment.
If your SUPER STAR QB intentionally chose to skip the most important game to date to protect his pride, well.....

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

We have 7 years' worth of Dak games to gather information from.

That tweet is just one example, and it actually worked out that game (for Dak, not for the team. Shocker!), but do you not think there's lots of other times that it didn't work out that Kellen didn't throw Dak under the bus for it and announce the bad audibles to the media? You and I both know if he's willing to change the plays that much that it is happening more often than any of us would like.

Yes, really nervous!

He has to throw for more than a hundred yards and not throw 3 picks. The bar is set sooooo high!
