Oh snap I maybe on your ignore list. My grammar is not good. I blame it on my spell check. My spell check is stupid.
No, you're good. I mess up all the time but it's not hard to figure out. Some here read like they threw their keyboard at the wall.

They aren't excuses....I've graded over hundreds of game films and every man has a job to do.....all it takes is for one to miss his assignment and it can snowball....not excuses just facts.....most fans just follow the ball during a play and don't think to look at the other players...it human nature, but when you look at the whole play, you can see the real reason a play may or may not work....years of scouting, grading and studying film and its still easy for experienced coaches to get caught up and just follow the ball......Dak get plenty of blame, but so should the rest of the team when they miss assignments.
One for me was the serious hate for Jaylon. He sucked on this play or that play but if you look (Especially in the few recent years) our D-Line was NOT doing its job. A descent DT should be able to take up 2 o-linemen or blocker from coming through. Drop that behind and anchor if nothing else. If they aren’t doing their job then a big o-lineman can get through untouched and maul or block or even just get the hands on the LB and make him look bad. Some LB can shed the blocks and get there head in there and tackle and some have to chase but some plays they get put on there heads. Jaylon had his share of bad reads and missed plays but some plays you could see aren’t all his fault. People will jump on me now because Jaylon maybe average at best and I AM NOT DEFENDING HIM. But he took a lot of heat sometimes and I would look at the play and see the DT or both DTs get blown out first. Cutting Jaylon was the right move for us. We could use any LB.

Especially when they tie into it with somebody. Some like to come here and argue or drop a little time bomb and walk away and read the trouble they start.

Monumental difference in criticizing in game play and simply holding the line that he is crap regardless of anything else.

Every player deserves both criticism and praise. No one is off limits.
Here is the deal though, sometimes the criticism is silly. For example, Dak didn't have a strong start to the game, but isn't this to be expected in the NFL? This happens right? It's how you finish I always believed... Bottom line, sure you can say Dak floundered a bit at the start of the game, but to use that as some kind of validation that he isn't right for the job is ludicrous and there are those among us who do just that.

Sometimes a QB has a rough start because the opposing staff game plans for them. Then during the game the talent rises to the top or make adjustments. Stack the line and go to the pass. Play back and hand it off.

I wasn't arguing with you just so you know.. I'm only making convo.. Heck, any player can have a bad game from time to time, but I think if you look at Dak, the man has a minuscule amount of less than stellar games.

No, I was not arguing either. I was actually expounding on what you were saying. Sometimes there is a reason for these slow or not so great starts. But man he is dropping some passes in the bucket during the games. Very high level play.

100%.. I've loved Dak since the day he started slinging passes around... I will admit to not being a big fan of Romo's and that was partly because of his tendency to make poor decisions at very inopportune times. I think people forget just many times Romo would gift the other team. I'm not saying he wasn't a great QB, he was just the kind of QB that made me very nervous and I wasn't a fan of his style of play. When Dak took over, I instantly was more at ease knowing that he was more of a protector of the football.

Romo played better with a run game. Same with any team. It’s a team game. Dak had the rookie year of a lifetime and that O-Line and Elliot made it very possible. But Dak is still improving and evolving and that gives me hope for multiple winning seasons. Not fair to compare any qb to brady. He is a freak. Not many qb can carry a team on his back game in and game out. I think the chiefs are going to figure that out. And the egirls found out the hard way.

Garrett seems to get all the blame for Romo & Company not reaching a Super Bowl. Has anyone ever stopped to think it may have been Romo? This is the guy who fumbled the easy snap for a gimme FG in his first playoff game. Romo blew three great chances to reach just an NFC Championship, not even a Super Bowl, under 3 coaches. At least Danny White made it all the way to the Championship many times before he blew it. Not taking anything away from Romo, he was a good player with a good career, but there have been a lot of great players who couldn't play clutch in the playoffs, or will their team to a victory. Just saying.

Romo was snake bit. Robbed with the Dez catch. I remember the packers game murray fumbles on a drive that would have changed the way both teams were going to play. Maybe that was the same packers game of the Dez catch. It’s sucked anyways. He blew a few games with some picks. But some seasons didn’t have the best Defense either. He played a long time. With tuna and wade and JG. I do think JG was not meant to be a HC. Makes ya wonder if you put Romo on another team if he would have done what he did. Or more. Remember wade gets fired and went onto get a SB ring.

Let's stop all the haters and slobbering stuff.

Most of the people who had their doubts about Prescott have admitted he is playing great this year.

And the Prescott defenders have admitted that he is getting a ton of help this year that every quarterback needs to be successful.

Our team is playing great, our running backs are outstanding, Zeke is playing like a guy worth his contract and Parsons is playing like a star this year.

Our receivers are making multiple plays a game, and Dak seems to have chemistry with all of them.

And this young defense, man what the heck do you say about them. We are seeing Diggs transform into a generational talent right before our very eyes, I have never seen this combination of aggression, tenacity, and ball skills in a corner, and he can tackle ;).

Our rookies Parsons and Osa have helped transform this D into a thing of beauty, and we still have so many on the way including Cox and Joseph.

The offensive and defensive coordinators have been incredible this year, I cannot believe the change from last year in such a short time.

And although it won't be popular, I think McCarthy should get a lot of credit as well ...... I do not agree with a lot of his game management decisions, but this team has been focused and hungry and has overcome a lot of injuries.

This is a long season and we are not even a 3rd of the way though it yet, we will have some bad games, we will probably at some point lose a game by a big margin.

But I already think this team will bounce back from it.
Let's enjoy the success and ALL start rooting for Dak, Zeke, Diggs, Parsons, Gregory (that's toward myself), and all the other players of this team and stop are petty squabbles on who was right or wrong about a player.

Go Cowboys!

Who’s hating?
