Jerry: "Dak Prescott is a quarterback that can get us to the Super Bowl."

[Mannix]

I don't know about that. When Jerry was 70 he was refusing to get rid of Jason Garrett.

True....but Garrett and Stephen's wives were besties. And now I sit here worrying about continually hearing how Fat Mike and Stephen are close. ONLY in a dysfunctional organization like this one, would this need to be a fan concern.

 

[VaqueroTD]

The team is 3-2 and just had two 12-5 seasons with most of that core back.

As deflating as the loss was to the Niners, to say major moves should be made now is ridiculous.

If Dak comes out throwing turnovers the next few weeks, then hand the ball to Cooper Rush, NOT Trey Lance.

We don’t have a Brock Purdy anywhere on our roster. It is what it is. Try to improve where they can and hopefully the team is not as emotionally drained as the fanbase seems to be.

One of the roughest injury years in recent memory isn’t helping either.

This is what happens when unfettered amounts of cash and ego crosses paths with senility and alcoholism.

Back years ago many here said if Jerry doesn't pay Dak, he should sell the team and go back to Arkansas. And that Dak will go else where and win multiple Super Bowls.
.
Okay maybe I exaggerated the last part, lol, but many CZ-ites were adamant about paying Dak top money.
.
As long as it's not my money...I can spend as much as I want and how I want.

 

[Mannix]

agreed. he is 1.5 feet away from the grave and doesn't have time for rebuild, so he is going to try and just fix it. I feel some trades coming. Jerry is desparate. if we lose this weekend, then its 100% we will see some trades

We need to do EVERYTHING possible to get the #1 pick next year and the USC QB....and that includes putting Parsons and/or Lamb in the deal.

 

[sunalsorises]

Jerry is only saying this because he plans to induct Dak into the ROH during week 8.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

can somebody throw up some meaningless stats of daks, I miss that crap.

Even as a Dak supporter I have to repeat what I always say about him- he simply goes as the rest of the team goes.

I will say I don't think the Cowboys win against the 49ers even if Dak played well, that's how bad it was all around. But I will readily admit to you he is not the kind of QB that can (regularly) elevate the team around him.

You can call this an excuse if you want but the coaches do a terrible job with Dak. They fail to recognize what he is and leave him to fall on the sword whenever things head south.

 

[Xelda]

2022 JJ was talking about Zeke being a Cowboy in 2023. Let's hope this is along those lines.

 

[DallasEast]

Making a big move at QB would be admitting he was wrong and we all know Jerry's ego can be a tad sensitive. He'd love for Dak to prove him right.

Exactly. I believe season long performance should be taken into account for onlookers for just someone like Jerry Jones.

Poor performance against a 'top' opponent might be a back breaker for others. For Jones, a number of average-to-great play in games of 'lesser importance' matter more to him than to others.

In Prescott's case, the critical question is, "When has Jones pulled the trigger concerning players?" What happened for Jones to pull the trigger on Tony Romo? On Drew Bledsoe? On Quincy Carter? On Troy Aikman?

• Romo? Prescott was performing exceptionally well within the Dallas offensive scheme.
• Bledsoe? Bledsoe was playing like the statue he erected in New England and Romo was electric, even during a poor initial start.
• Carter? <insert Sanford & Son theme>
• Aikman? Retirement.

Prescott? Years of backing him up has never made Cooper Rush shine in Jones' eyes.

Some people LOVE invoking Trey Lance's name and what Jones 'will' do. These same people do not either know or have forgotten Jones is the same man, the same general manager, who BOOTED Tony Banks in favor of Quincy Carter before the regular season began.

Lance would have played some downs Sunday night if Jones felt the same way about him. Lance would certainly, ABSOLUTELY, start Monday night if that were the case.

You are 100% correct. Jones loves being right. Not what others consider being right. What is right inside his brain.

can somebody tell us how to fix someone who can process fast enough? How many people have to lose their jobs to fix the dak?

Dak wont be throwing those the next couple weeks because we wont be playing the niners and this TCO offense will keep the TO's down... thats just the truth, NOW we will have to beat the niners if we get to the playoffs and I'm not sure Dak or MM survive another stinker against SF.. the team implodes and misses the playoffs (I highley doubt this) you could also see changes actually you probably would if there are no major injuries that caused it.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

One thing I can say is this offense has regressed from Kellen Moore, at least so far. McCarthy's scheme does not look like a fit here. I'm not so sure the problems Sunday night was all Dak or just a terrible gameplan coupled with terrible play by everyone all around, including but not just Dak.

 

[jgboys1]

There is serious heat on Prescott or Jerry wouldn't have to give the dreaded "vote of confidence".

True! Jerry is the ultimate salesman and he is trying to sell us on Dak! I think most of us don't want what Jerry is selling!

Jimma said that Belicheat told him to never draft a dumb player, but JJ did, so I don't think any coach in the NFL could do a good job with Dak, he is just to slow mentally to be a QB. And what the hell is with those shoulder pads he wears, they are as big as a lineman's shoulder pads. Look around the league at other QB's, they don't have those big azz shoulder pads the Dak likes to wear. I guess he thinks it makes him look bigger. I can't wait till he hits the bricks.

 

[bigdnlaca]

Meaning:

Dak is still making millions of dollars for me so why should I get rid of him.

The coach doesn't trust dak. He sees him in practice so I'll take it. You don't dumb down the offense if you think your qb is good.

 

[DallasEast]

Thing to consider: running backs have not been valued nearly as high as quarterbacks for years. Even running backs of the caliber of Saquon Barkley or Jonathan Taylor have fought for their contractual worth tooth-and-nail. In my opinion, an analogy involving what another NFL owner has said about the immediate future of their starting quarterback might be more along the lines of what might happen with Dak Prescott.

 

[ReverendFelcher]

These deluded billionaires give me a headache.

 

[VaqueroTD]

They simplified the whole offense for him this year, what more do you want? LOL

 

[dfense]

Idiots generally aren't billionaires. He'd be just as wrong to publicly trash his QB.

 

[erod]

If only the other 52 players and coaching staff agreed.
