Ian Rapoport: The earliest Dak Prescott will be back for Dallas Cowboys is October 16th

[MountaineerCowboy]

Dak needs to get back in time for us to determine if we need to find his replacement in the draft next year.

That's already been determined.

The question is will they do the right thing?

 

[Montanalo]

Four pages of threads about whether Dak will, or won't, be ready.

What will be, will be.

The most important aspect of this "news" is that it continues to keep the Cowboys newsworthy.

Probably not the best game for him to return it’s going be a hornets nest in Philly. It’s going to be a real hornets nest in Dallas if he doesn’t play well. Philly is probably still ticked off at us for putting up over 50 with our starters against their backups in the season finale last year.

Not much worse than the beating they received in September.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Why is it a dumb statement do you actually think Cooper Rush gives us a better chance in that game?

I think someone just wants a high draft pick. I think Dak definitely gives us a better chance against Philly. That's one team Dak usually owns.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Easy answer: Jerry needed the PR to try and keep fans hopes up so he doesn't lose ticket sales.

Which is insulting to our intelligence, isn't it? He doesn't seem to understand how we can Google things to find out if he's full of rubbish.

 

[Typhus]

How can he practice if he can't grip the football?

“Dak Prescott will be needed” …dumbest statement in the history of pro football!

That makes this the dumbest post in the history of this website

The Lions ain't no pushover this season

Game 6 on the road v. Eagles ...wait one more week to bring back Prescott in a home game with the Lions being the opponent.

If this is true, why wasn't Dak placed on short term (4 weeks) IR? The extra spot could have been used to keep a recently cut player like John Ridgeway, especially now that Quinton Bohanna is questionable to play due to a banged up neck injury. Same should have been done to Connor McGovern with his high ankle sprain and Jayron Kearse with his leg injury. Poor team management.

Tried to explain this before but when a player goes on IR they are banned from the team essentially.
Dallas was never doing that with Dak.
They want their core guys around the team and able to practice ASAP.

Box tickets sales...gotta lie to them buyers to get the boxes filled...ridiculous...shows exactly whats important to the owner/GM "Dont tell them that we gotta fuill them boxes"

Your love affair with Dak unless you follow him to y’all’s next team.

I dont have a love affair with dak but nothing can be done until after the 2023 season anyway. So crying about dak continuously does nothing. You and papsmear should just come back then.

If the last 26 years of JJ’s insanity hasn’t made me leave..well you know the rest. For many years my only support has been watching games. That gives me some sense of satisfaction.

Nice, bro!

 

[noshame]

Dak vs Eagles
NOT

 

[rambo2]

LOL. Yeah. The last 27 years is proof they know what they are doing and we need not worry at all.

My God man put the pom poms down.

Arent you the same guy that said they had a "Fantastic offseason" lol

Yep, I said they would win last week and this week and win the division and get 12 wins. I feel that have a good team and have built a good roster for now and the future.

 

[Sydla]

5 weeks. Jerry and his bonehead offspring were actually trying to float he might be back in 2-3 weeks.

Word of advice to you homers when you start planning how good the roster will be.............. any players you are counting on to come back in a short time frame like Jerry or Stephen claim? Add at least 2-3 weeks to that number.

I suspect you have been saying this every year for who knows how long.

But the other poster's point is spot on. It's kind of dumb at this point to keep putting faith in Jerry and Stephen. They've done nothing to earn the benefit of the doubt.

Basically, for me, it comes down to just us getting lucky. That's it. I have no doubt Jerry and Stephen will continually screw up this roster so what I am left with is just hoping that the planets align and by sheer dumb luck we go on a run one year.
