If all this turns out to be is a nice night for him and his parents. I'm ok with it.

What are my choices? Lol

The dude seems incredibly humble and a really nice guy, he deserves a chance to fight for a starting spot somewhere other than the NFC East.

Last night, he seemed like the vet and Romo the rookie.

Pissed me off to see them celebrating like they won the super bowl on our field, but I guess this is what happens when you give the game away

I think Colt can be very effective if the offense can keep him in manageable downs and distance. Colt is a smart QB and what he lacks in arm strength he makes up for in quick, crisp accurate throws. When forced to go into a must passing situation he can struggle but Colt has some upside to his game as well.

If I'm being honest, that was something that made me uneasy before the game. It just felt like he had to get that win. Like he deserved it too much not to get it. He certainly wasn't lights out. A better QB would have probably shred Dallas last night. With that said, it seems like it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Too bad he plays for that team though.

it is what it is. One team put their big boy pants on the other expected to walk out and roll over somebody. It happens. Learn and move on.

Colt's performance did not surprise me. He can be a good QB is the right system. The Cowboys need to sit Romo until after the BYE week. Weeden proved last night he can get it done. Lawrence and other reinforcements are coming to help the D. The season is not lost because of one loss but some changes need to come.

This. I just hope a loss like this to a team you "should beat" is a reminder to a young team that you need to show up cause when your on top of the mountain your being hunted and will get everyone's best punches

In a situation, like last night, I think the Backup has the advantage over the starter. The opposition doesn't game plan for the backup so you get more base stuff. When the defense does adjust to what the backup is doing, it provides opportunity to take advantage of them with a strong run game. When we put Tony back in, that played into the hands of the Skins D. Tony could not stretch the field.

Seemed to me everyone from the coaching staff to the players over-thunk things. Sometimes simple is better and this game was exactly that. Simple. over thinking causes much room for mistakes and mistakes is why this team is 6-2

It was wrong thinking. Not overthinking. IMO.

Colt may be smart and accurate but his lack of arm strength is a killer in the long run.

Honestly, he left at least 14pts out there.

I agree that he lacks arm strength but he did not need big arm strength when the skins were able to keep him in down and distance that played to his strength. Had Dallas done a better job of tackling maybe we can keep him in 2nd or 3rd in long more often forcing him to make longer throws but we didn't and Colt is very capable of dinking and dunking you to death and where his accuracy really comes into play

Every dog half his day. The Browns and 49ers figured it out. And one day the Commanders will figure it out too. He's CFL material. He's Universe of Texas (in a weak conference) material.
He will revert to form, that being a 3rd string QB who half been handed more than his share of chances.

Pretty humble kid. His parents should be very proud. Jay Grudden looks like he hates the kid.
