I would not start Dak against Philly

[CowboyoWales]

sort of agree, yes Dak should start if hes 100% and we should try and keep the balance, but we all know if we need More offense its Dak over Rush every time. Dak beat the eagles 3 straight times by more than 20pointsl I know some say this is a new year but I've seen the same eagles making a few more plays.. daks 7-2 against the east almost all the teams most are blowouts.

so we need more balance so in some way you should pass more but not be pass happy , you run the ball but at least have threat as QB that can make defense pay for coming up and stopping our run. so dont change much but for sure with dak we can make tam pay for over playing the run.

the eagles see our recipe and have the DL to slow or neutralize our Run game, then what? I get what both of you are saying and the truth lies in between. dak is capable of being a bus driver and keeping this on track but the bonus hes beat them many times and gives us the best shot to open it up IF Needed.

But the Rams also had the run Defense to beat us. What it takes is to play to our strength, which is a fully fit run game, obviously Dak needs to change it up to keep the Defense 'honest', but the book on Dak .as written by Denver, is to sit in coverage (helped by our injured run game)......we need to use the run game to allow to right to throw in lesser coverage when they compact the box.

 

[CowboyoWales]

right if both Rush and Dak is 100% and ready to play , why in the world would you not use who you believe give you a better chance to win? some of these fans believe dak cant play within a trimmed down run heavy offense, he can..plus gives you threat at qb,
Its MOORE that meses this up what will MOORE do when daks back?

anyone who believes we wouldn't be 4-1 with dak at QB is truly a hater. 6-0 last year same blueprint yet dak put up more points.

Hey, I think youre arguing with the wrong person. Its @LovinItAll that wouldnt pick the 100% Dak, he put the additional "weeks preparation".

 

[Strykerscm]

I think the majority of us have now seen that Dak brings more explosiveness to the table, but also a small brain and no ability to read a defense. Clearly, he’s been paid and that contract will force the coaches to play him. With that said, everyone has now seen that Dak is a very low level qb and shouldn’t be paid anywhere near where he is being paid as we got comparable production and more wins with a low paid qb. Sucks that we wasted all that money on Dak but it is what it is now.

arguing, i said RIGHT to begin that hardly arguing it was agreeing, then clarifying.

 

[Cmac]

NO he should not IF daks truly 100% DAK gets the start..

if there's any issues with his grip, then he sits..i agree make him the backup against the eagles if hes close and maybe he comes into save the game, IF we need offense and rush well isnt truly that guy.hes the dont mees it up hand it off type. . Sorry but Dak can do what Rush has done PLUS MORE..

Ok.....but the Rush we trust posters are coming. If Cooper is replaced, at any time by coaches, with Dak........Dak has returned as the starter. No alternating, then we have a mess.

Ok, youre disagreeing with the wrong person.....I say a 100% Dak plays.

There is no controversy, only Dak haters heads.

Cooper went 10 of 16 today for 106 yards and the offenses only TD was a Pollard 57 yard run.


There is zero controversy. Dak starts as soon as he can because he gives us the best chance to win.

Unless, of course, you understand what you're watching.

Dallas couldn't protect Rush, just like they wouldn't have protected Dak. Donald was destroying the pocket just like Micah was. Unblockable.

Then CeeDee and Gallup dropped key third down passes that were perfectly right to them, which ended drives.

The Rams couldn't run...they had -4 yards rushing the final three quarters. Dallas was winning, so you must run the ball and play defense so Donald can't kill you.

That was the game on the field no matter who is playing QB. Don't allow a sack fumble to flip the game, which they almost did once.

We all know Dak will be back soon, but Rush knows how to play the game that's on the field that day, which is why he's managed to go 5-0 with limited physical ability.

I'm hoping Dak had learned a bit about situational awareness from watching Cooper play. It's one of Dak's shortcomings.

Who cares if we win by 1 point or 100 a win is a win
with Rush all players work as one unit ( team work) you bring in the stats man and it might mess it up.

Lots of truth. Dak is not a great QB, but better overall than Rush. Appreciate what Rush did to keep the season alive. Fantastic backup!

Because eventually we will need to be able score points to beat the good teams in the league. Dak gives us the best chance to do that. It’s silly to say all the players only play with “team work” under Rush. Be better.

I do understand that but also he might mess it up

Yes, Dak will throw more picks than Rush but he’s also a threat to throw 4,500+ yards and 35+ TDs every season. Eventually we need to be able to score. You can’t win a super bowl playing safe

Dak is actually very careful with the ball (maybe too careful at times.) He throws more ints than Rush because Kellen calls the game differently when he's in there. I think Kellen has learned something.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Are we going to dismiss Daks career because he had a bad game week 1?

Cooper Rush is not the main reason we’ve been winning during this stretch. I have nothing but love for Rush, but this is just a bit absurd.

Dak is going to come back the minute he’s healthy to start, it’s crazy to think but some people aren’t prepared for that.

He is because he is an old Romo-loving Dak hater! That's why. Guy has gone nuts full of hate. Pathetic.

 

[America's Cowboy]

That sounds like analysis from someone who didnt even see the game. Two of the worst drops this season by any WR (of any team), a running game that was working and a pass-rush which our O-Line couldnt handle.

Even if Rush has been found out .... we're still winning.

I wouldnt prefer Rush over Dak, but your assessment is at least misleading and certainly doesnt justify the QB argument.

I watched every loving second of the game! Mistakes happen. Doesn't change the fact the Rams figured out Rush and limited him to a measly 102 passing yards. If it had been Dak, you would be here screaming with the rest of the jokers about getting rid of Dak!

Cowboys know who gives them a better chance to score more points, and that change back to their franchise QB is happening any game now whether you like it or not. Sulk on that.

I don't think anyone is screaming for Daks head when the Cowboys win. No one.

 

[CowboyFrog]

I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about this.

Its crazy to me also, its deep seeded with some they can make that QB performance look great because they dont like Dak...its the literal meaning of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Uhhh, not true. You know it's not true. There are several here who constantly find anything to bash Dak, including after a win.

I know that isn't true which is why I wrote what I wrote. Now calling for Daks head when they lose? That happens.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I'd might dress him but I wouldn't start him. If Dak goes in there and he's rusty and throws 2 picks and Dallas gets rolled next week. It won't be good for him.
I would start Cooper Rush until he loses. That will slow down the QB controversy thing that the media is trying to push right now.

I wouldnt start Dak until he is 100% ready to go.
