If Dak was to go 0-6 as a starter without Zeke will he look like a fraud?

[CowboysFanSince88]

I mean there is no way he can be taken seriously as a starter if he can't win one game without zeke. True starters find a way to be successful even when players are missing in the lineup not just struggle until players come back. So for example, if pressure is coming from the left side again this week is he smart enough to play to his right side and throw pass to the middle or to the right? Or will he continue to stand in the pocket knowing their is pressure from one side? Being a NFL starter is more than just throwing the ball down the field. You also need to play smart and figure out what works well and read defenses

Agree or Disagree?

I doubt they'll lose all 6 games. I think after this week they'll probably play .500 ball.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Nope, not with that schemeless system we run.

I hope not because he would be nothing but a backup if that was to happen

If he needs his coaching staff to succeed then maybe, just maybe he is not who we thought he was

 

[slick325]

I don't think so. But it would make it kinda clear who the straw that stirs the drink in Dallas actually might be...

 

[DallasEast]

There are a lot of variables missing from this premise. Teammates. Coaches. Even opponents.

Football. It is a team sport.

Blasphemy!

Depends on how he looks. If they lose all six games and he looks mediocre doing it then the QB position needs to be evaluated.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Blasphemy!

So wayment

If he goes 0-6 as a starter and then they win the 1st game with zeke back in the lineup you are telling me dak won't have a fraudulent look?

 

[noshame]

So if the offense puts up 35 + points and we still lose the games who does that fall on?

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Of course in that case it would not be him. I am talking about the offense scoring less than 17 pts and dak being 0-6 as a starter

 

[IheartRomo]

There's a real chance we go 0-6. It will have very little to do with Zeke and everything to do with Tyron and Lee not playing. For some reason, the FO and coaches decided backing up our two most important players with the two worst backups on the roster was reasonable.

Here we are. I doubt Dak plays poorly and, if he does, I doubt it's anything that great play from him would have even been able to overcome due to the defense giving up 30+ weekly without Lee.

 

[Doomsay]

If Tyron is out for that many games, I doubt Dak gets to any combination of 6.

 

[Bigdog]

Well whoever is playing left tackle doesn't give him some time to throw it wouldn't matter. Brady, Peyton Manning, Rodgers, even the Almighty Wentz could not have done anything with the pressure coming from Clayborn due the lack of protection from our LTs

Absolutely.

But it won't happen.

 

[Section446]

Definitely, he's already being exposed.

Wentz, Brady, and Rodgers would have started running to the right side to buy some time to throw instead of standing in the pocket

 

[RS12]

Giants are one of the 6 games. Their FO is spending their time freshening up their resumes and researching QBs for the draft. Their players have been on the bus for weeks and just got blown out by the 49ers. I really dont see the Cowboys losing that one.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

It depends on how Dak performs. If he looks lost without Zeke than it will surely bring criticism.
