Well it would help if you actually could appreciate a well played game.
I have already said I did.

Playing well against bad teams is Dak forte. So because I said Brady/team sucked...that means I don;t appreciate Dak having a good game? Just keeping it real. Now...if he went and did that at niners...WOW!

Connecting dots that aren't there.
Bad teams typically don't make it to the playoffs, lol.

Dak Prescott is not a big game player.

So you can feed into whatever delusions you may have about him but when the lights start shining the brightest he plays timid and is waiting on someone else to make a play.

Dallas needs to move on from this. We don’t need to pay this kind of money just to win games that Cooper Rush can win.

Beating the Eagles is not some great accomplishment either that will right all wrongs because we have always been good against division opponents.


Dallas needs to make the switch TODAY to Trey Lance.

Don’t wait around and watch the ending we all know will happen with this QB or we will just see what happened Sunday Night again in the Playoffs.
Trey Lance?????????? Are you serious????????? If Shanahan couldn't turn this kid into a decent NFL QB what makes you think MM can????? The 9ers spent a king's ransom to get this kid because they thought they could turn him into a great starting QB in the NFL and after a couple of lousy injury filled years they were on the verge of dumping this kid for nothing when JJ comes to their rescue and offers a 4 rd pick for him. The 9ers were doing back flips after they received JJ's offer because they know Lance wasn't worth a plum nickel and sure the heck isn't what they thought he could be after they drafted him. Trey Lance is a young man who should have transferred to a SEC or ACC school to get more QB reps before he came out, but when the NFL came knocking with their millions the kid couldn't turn that down and now he's a young millionaire with no NFL talent. He's not going to help the Cowboys win anything or any other team in the NFL. It's all wishful thinking..........

Dak has had a longer leash then any QB I've ever seen in the NFL. What it comes down to is Jerry and Stephen will not admit when they are wrong. It is similary to firing Jimmy and not putting him in the ring of honor. That would be admitting that Jimmy deserves credit for those super bowls. One of the biggest mistakes Jerry ever made was letting Dak have the job because of 10 game winning streak. By the end of 2016 your could see Dak's deficincies against Minnesota, Giants. And he has kept those same deficincies. In 2017 when Zeke was suspended he looked terrible. Not even average. In 2018 before Amari the same thing. Most QB's would have lost their jobs in that span, but not Dak because then Jerry would have to admit he made a mistake letting him have Romo's job. Same thing right now. Getting rid of Dak or benching him would be admitting they made a mistake extending him. And Jerry and Stephen don't make mistakes.

The saving grace for Jerry right now is the trade for Trey Lance. If Trey gets a shot and the Cowboys win regardless if he plays good or not, he can save face and talk about how great of a trade he made and that will allow his ego to let Dak go. Any other GM in this league and by the end of 2017 the team would have been looking for a different QB. It's been 8 years, Dak not only hasn't improved. He is regressing. He's always been stiff and slow twitch. His running in the early years was him being big strong and tough. Now he's even slower twich and slower overall. Combine that with not seeing the field, not processing information quickly a slow release of the football and you are seeing a QB that not only can't help a team be better then it really is, or cover a teams deficincies, but a QB who has to try and be hidden. That's okay, if the QB makes 800K a year, but you can't pay 40 million a year and have to hide your QB. You won't win overall that way.

At this point Dak can win games if the defense wins the TO battle, dominates games and scores points. If the defense can't do that and he gets behind he's done. Anyone with even a little football knowledge can see this. The question is how long will Jerry try to fit the square peg into the round hole. We will see!

I have accumulated several films to prove Dak wasn't the problem for the 49ers loss, but I won't even waste my time trying to educate y'all since y'all made up your misinformed minds a long time ago.

Just know this...

Dak is going to get an extension soon and be here for many more seasons.

Not true. Romo had 12+ seasons of a leash given by Jerry.

No. Dak is not getting you out of a tough situation. He's not that player. Dude couldn't hold Tony Romo's jock strap. Let alone better QBs. We should all know that by now. I'm sure there's a statistic out there that says otherwise, just not what we're actually watching.

Dak may very well get an extension, but that is because Jerry is a bad GM. The rest of your post, LMAO.

Nope. Dak is bad, and his feeble arm is weak. But you put in Rush or Lance, they'll have similar results. Part of it is the playbook and playcalling. McCarthy has to own that.

A new QB doesn't solve these inherent offense problems. Maybe less interceptions, but this offense doesn't suddenly become efficient with a new QB. I don't see that.

Let Dak and McCarthy finish this season. If they can't fix the offense all season, then clean house during the offseason.
