McCarthy finally showing his value by training Dak?

[NotForLong]

When I was 9 I called my grandfather "old". He said, "If you live long enough it'll happen to you."

You obviously...don't get it - YET.

Dak's issues are not his character, that's for sure. He DOES have issues, but character and leadership are above reproach at this point. People just make stuff up.

He is full of Fluff and Rainbows. He mastered His Major in College and has become the biggest BS Artist in Texas

And good for Him millions of Cowboy Fans eat it up and in the End it is just an entertainment business

Many many many fans here take a lot of pride in that Tangible that can't be measured and can't be Proven one way or the other

After every poor performance by Dak to end the season, many here say Leadership, Leadership Leadership until OTAs

 

[NotForLong]

Won't really know until the season is over. He's always been streaky. Will play at MVP levels for a few games then **** the bed for a couple weeks.

Giants and Arizona terrible teams so not much goes into the performance. Jets was a great look though. See how the season progresses when we get tougher teams and see how we do wants teams make adjustments

This is what I am talking about you say in Past Seasons He will play at "MVP Levels" and then turn around and say "The Giants and Arizona are Terrible and not much goes into those performances"

Who do you think Dak was playing at a MVP level against in the past? . . . Terrible teams

Sounds like projection. How do you know ANY of this to be true?

Congrats to leeblair for running the real trolls into the ground with this thread.

You gavr this a like but I think He was referring to you @CowboysFaninHouston

 

[NotForLong]

Whom were the Jets missing on Defense?

Are you saying Aaron Rodgers would have beaten Micah and Defense?

Are you implying that a Team's (Jets) offensive performance has no bearing on the team's (Jets) defensive performance

Wow. . . either you are the most dishonest person or clueless

Since I know you always want to prove you are right and win an argument, I will assume the former (but I believe it stems from the other )

 

[NotForLong]

I sure haven't...and glad the history has been put behind as to top shelf confrontation coming down the pike now.

If a tree tumbles in the forest does it make a sound? And just because you enjoy your farts does not mean they are appealing. A boxed in mind loves itself and caresses its own words to comfort one self.

A brain is a terrible thing to waste and being enraptured with Vocabulary only makes one appear intelligent but Hot Air is just Hot Air

For me, the whole appeal of McCarthy become the HC was the offense/playcalling he brought with him. Dak has a real offensive guru to coach him, finally...although there's a long way to go.

However, the question I pose is should Cowboys fans be upset we've had to endure Kellen when we had Big Mike all along?

 

[NotForLong]

That's accurate!!

But if Micah Parsons is the next LT, it won't matter which QB we play..

Exactly . . . And this is the key to Dak's season

I just hope as a Leader he acknowledges this on the Podium at the Super Bowl

 

[NotForLong]

Don’t watch then. It obviously makes you miserable.

How are you gonna tell a Cowboys Fan not to watch just because the Gimp is QB. . . This team is not about Him and His Fan Boys

 

[NotForLong]

They need to fix the red zone production, but it's a new offense and they are showing that they can be efficient. I'd like to see them spread the field a bit more for those power runs. I just don't see much success piling everyone into a small space at the goal line working very often.

You can't "Fix" Red Zone production . . . This is where the $40 Million QB's earn their pay. It is condensed and 22 of the Biggest and Fastest athletes in the world occupy that space

If they score it will be because Dak made the right play at the right time . . . otherwise it is just another field goal

 

[NotForLong]

Regardless of what you think. Can you not accept that even getting an avg. QB isn’t easy and could very likely become more waisted talent years?

Check around the league at the failed top picks. Your reasoning and QB plan is off.

Why do you guys always boil the argument down to this. . . It is not a good enough reason to keep him. You do not know who is available or who could be acquired until you cut Dak loose. . . To let him hold the franchise hostage for that reason alone is pathetic and sad and reeks of desperation (battered wife syndrome)

It is the modern NFL now and incompetent flawed Athletes play QB . . . You can Win with a Dak or Lamar or Hurts. . . You can make the playoffs and win double digit games

These QBs are a dime a dozen and they rise and fall

The identity of this team is the defense and we could be competitive with any one of the 32 staring QB's in the league right now (including the QB we play this week)

If Dobb's was QB of the Cowboys and Dak was QB of The Cardinals the Cowboys would still be favored by over 7 and I would give the points

 

[kskboys]

The one thing the Cowboys have needed is for Dak to be a true leader at the quarterback position. However, he came in under Garrett, and learned how to let the media blame others for his failures instead of leading.
With the West Coast offense, McCarthy's staple, it may well be that Dak has hit a reset, and the rigors of learning an entirely new scheme under a Coach that truly understands leadership has given us a brand new Dak.
We won't know until he actually faces a tough test, but for now it would be unfair not to give him credit for what looks like an improvement. From calling plays in the preseason, to Mike McCarthy demanding accountability, it is entirely possible that Dak is not the same quarterback from years past.
Let's hope for the best.

Yup. Some of us have been telling you that.

JG and KMo did Dak no favors.

As Cowboy Fans we should be upset but all we can do is shrug because as I always hear . . . THIS IS JERRY'S TEAM. . . . Whatever will be will be

Yup, just look at the recent play of limited QBs such as Geno Smith, Josh Dobbs, and now Baker Mayfield. However, when you have a flawed QB, you absolutely must scheme the O to his strengths. We have absolutely not been doing that.

You are a 100% correct. . . It will be an exciting year to watch Big Mike cook

Thus far I am loving how everyone is getting involved

Early signs are good for both sides of the ball. Let's wait before breaking out the anointing oil. This team is capable, but they still have to prove against other balanced, well coached, teams.

Not saying they are not up to the task, rather it is too early for proclamations.

Time will tell.

Absofrickinlutely, we should be upset. Jerry wasted yet more years w/ his incompetent GMing. He finally fired KMo and turned it over to MM, which should have been done from the start. An engineer does you no good if you put him in janitorial.

 

[Mr_437]

[JeffInDC]

Yet I stated fact.
I don't think you understand those big words you used.

The ONLY playoff loss that can 100% be put on Dak is SF last year. PERIOD!!!!! In '21, the ENTIRE TEAM GOT B SLAPPED by the 49ers. 2018 was the 273 yards rushing from the Rams. Finally, 2016 was Aaron Rodgers and that RIDICULOUS THROW down the sideline...

 

[BoyzBlaster]

I give them a lot of credit for at least trying something different. It's the wash/rinse/repeat I have no patience for with getting bounced from the playoffs. Now whether this dink and dunk offense is enough to succeed in the playoffs remains to be seen, but so far I really like the lack of picks from Dak. Fingers crossed.
