I started to have hope for Dak

[Cowboys5217]

They've not lowered my bar personally.

I undersatnd that Jerry sucks, but we've won 3 Super Bowls with him as the owner.

We've shown that we can win despite him. We just need to take important positions (QB) seriously again. We we're literally just a QB away this year.

Yep, ironically this time Jerry really was just one player away, but will he admit that to himself?

We won those cause he wasn’t operating and meddling in same fashion as he is now . Nor without the agendas and priorities he has developed since Jimmy left.

Jethro is fine with the QB’s we have had. They are enough to hype and sell his product.

And your bar should be lowered with this dysfunctional ownership and how they operate.

The line protected him and there were receivers open and Dak STILL failed. Stop with the no weapons. We should have won with the team's play. Dak lost it because he didn't read the defense...and he keeps making that mistake. He's a great guy. He's a fantastic leader. He's terrible at reading decent defenses. He panics. He's done.

No, you stop. If you hate the guy, that's your right, but you're wrong about Dak having weapons or open receivers. Even Brian Baldinger and Kurt Warner said the same. Absolutely, Dak made mistakes, but overall, it's understandable when you have limited weapons to throw to who also and constantly ran lazy routes and had badly designed pass route concepts and designs.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Or we think you look like an idiot comparing Aikman and Dak. You’ve lost reality! It’s sad

You're the idiot and a coward who won't address the question because it will destroy your Dak hatred. Plain and simple. Everyone sees it.

 

[America's Cowboy]

O'line was blocking fine on both INT's..........

Next excuse.

How did the receivers perform? Kurt Warner disagrees with you.

Mic drop.

 

[blueblood70]

Ya they all ignored it.

It made Dak's performance look amazing on Sunday.

And I'm not bagging on Aikman...it happens to the best of them

Everyone should go look at all of Brady's playoff clunkers...he had some doozies.

they ignore all the other big time qbs this year ones being labeled elite like Allen, Lawarence, and Herbert all had tough games with many mistakes this playoff, also Brady? where was the top 5 highest paid qbs in the league, not in the playoffs, how about last year Stafford 17int led the league threw 2 in the SB, their team won, TEAM wins.. Brady had 3Ints in the last nfccg he was in and that TEAM WON..

this will always be team game and our Offensive line, OC lack of run game 16 runs no Malik in the 2nd half, lack of run calls that helped create runs, one dimensional non complementary offense was what killed us .. prescott was part of that but come on, common sense and the eye test say the OL was the worst part of every game we played against a tough top DL..

those defenses solved our OL and beat them but Dak many of those games, mistakes aside, came back and won, Teams find ways to win but other than Lamb , our entire offense was horrible, and the OC was bad and ill say it one last time , without an OL and being one dimensional and having other skill payers making mistakes like schultz and gallup, well thats not JUST a Prescott issue.

It would be nice if he was perfect, hes not , hes not elite but still has proven hes top 10 qb and those dont grow on trees, speaking of trees , try throwing the ball threw forest to wrs who arent separating. We call thats a dirty pocket.

I don't hate Dak. I just don't think he can get it done. I think he's a really nice guy and I'd love to have a beer with him. But there are several videos out there of Dak ignoring open receivers and throwing into coverage in the 49ers game. That's not to say Moore is competent. His play design sucks. The receivers certainly need work, but make no mistake, Dak cost us the game. There WERE open receivers. Dak was protected. He had time. He was confused and didn't read the field and it's not the first time. It's been an issue since his ankle break.

Unfortunately we're stuck with him. I want to be wrong about him and I'll cheer for him, but in my heart I'm convinced we're not winning anything with him. He's choked two years in a row now. When is enough going to be enough? It'll be hard to get him the help you claim he needs when he takes up so much of the cap. Sure they can alleviate that by extending him and reworking his contract, but that takes belief in him. He's too wildly inconsistent for that.

 

[Diehardblues]

If we had one of the Elite QB’s , we probably could have gone further . But unfortunately there’s only a handful of those in the league . And right now most are in the AFC.

 

[offlimits]

Somehow the Cowboys need to find a way to get a QB in here who can compete for the starting job. If Dak were pushed (instead of already knowing it's his job no matter what) it would help. Unfortunately it isn't Rush. Good backup QB though. We need someone who can make Dak feel the heat. Otherwise we will keep getting the usual post game speeches like we heard after the Washington and San Fran games. UGH!

FA route? No. You will have to draft a QB and I wouldn't wait past the 3rd-4th rd if there is someone you like. Next year will be Dak's 8th... time to find his potential replacement.

The good news is all of the new Elite QB’s are in the AFC.

That means we have a shot going up against lesser QB’s in NFC. As bad as Dak played we were still only one score away. That’s truly amazing IMO.

In the end with Dak we were still 3rd best team in NFC. Not bad and something to build on since we don’t really have any other choice . Draft another RB, WR and keep shoring up defense .

The defense against the 49ers was good enough to win it all if they kept that up. Our special teams minus Maher are good. The offense can explode for 50 points when the QB is playing well. This could have been our year with Aikman level play. Heck, maybe a tier below Aikman would get it done in this era.

I agree that the AFC has all of the young stud QBs, and are likely to dominate the next decade. I could easily see a repeat of the 70s where the AFC wins 80% of the next decade's worth of Super Bowls.

All the NFC has going for it are top defenses . But it helps when you aren’t going up against all of the Elite QB’s.

We’ll see if Hurts is edging up closer to the top but not yet. It helps him having #2 defense. But really no other young NFC QB’s I’d consider even close to Elite.

 

[Miller]

You're the idiot and a coward who won't address the question because it will destroy your Dak hatred. Plain and simple. Everyone sees it.

I already addressed it in here. You just can’t help yourself. You put an up and down QB who keeps getting more erratic above the team. You lost all objectivity. The only thing everyone sees is normal posters rolling their eyes at your weak bs that makes no sense. Seriously it’s embarrassing. Do you have a pact with Tad? Btw who calls people coward on a message board. Grow up

Our defense was good enough but we can’t miss those crucial interceptions . It cost us one score for sure. We did lead league in turnovers again and without them our defense isn’t as dominant . Plus it helps set up our offense .

And SF last two scoring drives they ran the ball down our throats . That last drive took almost 8 minutes off the clock in 4th qtr.

Using our QB as only excuse is a lazy analysis IMO. Most teams don’t have an Elite QB. They also have other weaknesses as well. We do too.

 

[MWH1967]

ok, I've given him ever intangible possible from every angle. He is just not good enough.

Posters can roll their eyes all they want, along with you calling me an idiot, but you're the one who won't answer why Aikman (with all of his God given passing talent) failed miserably his first 2 and last 4 years of his career.

Problem is Prescott has a large body of work and we aren’t guessing anymore about him not being a championship caliber player.

You can’t complain about the supporting cast when you pay a guy like you paid him. He is paid to overcome and carry and he can’t do it. He has to go ASAP.

I wouldn’t say Aikman failed miserably. We did make the playoffs his two final full seasons in 1998 and 1999.

And his second season we were headed to playoffs until he was knocked out for season. And still almost got in at 7-9 in 1990. The Saints had to win on final game of season on MNF to finish 8-8 knocking us out.

1990 was the year Jimmy was named Coach of the Year for one of the greatest turn arounds in NFL history.

The only really bad seasons for Cowboys with Troy his first in 1989 and Switzer last in 1997.

But the problem of over paying him comes from our dysfunctional ownership who continues hyping and selling him as such.

And why he isn’t going anywhere . Jethro Jone$ can sell and hype the hell out of 12 win playoff seasons . Shoot , the ole fool can sell 8-8. Lol
