If the cowboys won would we still be calling for Dak?

[Whirlwin]

The Bills traded 3 first round picks to move up in the draft to take Mahomes at #11. There is no reason Dallas can't do the same once they target a player. Brady? That dude is an anamoly in the annals of NFL history. Most NFL teams passed on him at least 5 times. NOBODY saw him coming or thought he would be anything more than a back-up QB.

The Dallas Cowboys haven't spent a first round pick on a QB since 1989. We haven't even tried. We got lucky with Romo who was an UDFA and Dak who we settled for in round 4 b/c the Raiders scooped us on Connor Cook.

Do you know how many first round quarterbacks are out of the league or not on the team that drafted them. It’s just not that simple.

Patrick Mahomes is a big game choke artist Ask the Bengals

I mean, maybe, but we didn't even come close to winning that game, so it's quite the hypothetical.

Let's just be honest.....yes we would be calling for Dak to return, if healthy. Cooper Rush, despite limits, kept this team afloat or didn't hurt the team during the run. He is not a starting QB long term and his play against the Eagles can't be excused. Suspect everyone will cry out if Dak is not perfect.

Truth be told, it is rather simple.....expectations or the benchmark are much higher for Dak, as they should be. Thanks Cooper, but it's time to give up the keys. So quit taking Skip Bayless' accounts as reason......he is leading you down a wishy-washy path.

If there was a full moon and Mercury was in retrograde would we still be calling for Dak?

Actually you use the salary cap hit and dead money to determine the potential savings and timeline to release a player.

think its either cap hit if u keep or dead money if u cut.
Dk what u mean by salary cap hit (base?) . If u mean base u need to include restructuring if any and prorated signing. Dont think u would ever use salary cap and dead for a figure as u stated
whatever- its a lot to bench or cut him

considering the game played out the exact same with rush having 3 ints... what if we had won the game though. Would we still be calling for dak? Or would we ride with the guy who keeps winning games?

I for one am ready for dak to come back but that loss made it a lot easier of a decision.

If we had won I wonder if it would still be as easy...

I think the calls for Rush would be louder. If Parsons had a sack strip fumble return for a TD once the score was 20-17, the Rush supporters would be touting him for a comeback win

 

[conner01]

He did it just well enough, at least until the Eagles game. Diminishing returns each successive game.

Kinda typical for a backup

No matter how you frame the questions, Dak is still the better athlete. It seems the anti-Dakkers continue their weak attempts to get people to admit they are right.

I have doubts about Dak. But I also think this Eagles game, a night and day first half/ second half showed a similarity we see with Dak.

He is a bus driver. You can win with a bus driver, but you must build the team around him so he can thrive. That means a solid front five on offense that can open running lanes and protect during passing plays. That also includes a defense which is strong enough to control games and prevent getting into a shootout.

The future of this franchise finding the Brady, Allen, Mahomes QB is slim and none. The team's results keep them in the middle of the pack in regard to drafting. So acquiring that Micah type generational player for the QB position is virtually unattainable. The alternative is a disgruntled QB - someone like Rodgers, although I am not recommending Rodgers at all - who has the power to jump ship and come to the Cowboys.

But the salary that player would demand will send this fandom into a hissy fit. Because, for some reason, you people act like it is your money.

Imagine - Rodgers coming to the Cowboys to join his former HC.
Realistically, any thoughts or musings of there being another Cowboys QB besides Prescott are so far-fetched at this time due to his contract.

Doesn't matter who we call for since I'm pretty sure the FO doesn't listen to or care about what we want.

A 100%.

It's understanding why and how you win.
.

But sounds like you are attributing wins to a QB only

 

[NumOneQB]

Yes, absolutely.

 

[Silverz1972]

If he was 100% ready. I would save him for next week if it were me.
