Of course you take the win but the QB doesnt give you any confidence moving forward

I'm talking about after Rush took over Homers were saying Rush had a better offensive line than Dak. We're all just wondering what the next excuse will be
Who is "we all"?

You are the leader of some weird anti qb of your favorite team group on a public forum?

Yikes.... Craps bad in life huh?

This is the bit I don't get about dak.. it is all a media story. He gets "Player of the Game" even though even his biggest defenders would have to agree it wasn't even close to being his best game and nor was he our best player... so he get the 'award' because it fits nicely into the saviour story line. Dak sells and therefore everything at this franchise has been set up around dak.. we have created a franchise quarterback through fiction.. NOT through game play. It will cost us.

I want a legitimate football team. We have shown that we are the greatest marketing product in the league.. we are a powerhouse franchise in every respect other than ON THE FIELD. For that to change.. our approach needs to change. Dak is just one symptom of that. Anyone who thinks that Dak is a true 'franchise/elite QB' is delusional.

I have always maintained that Dak is best as an above average bus driver. He is Kirk Cousins. He can win IF all the other pieces are put in place. The issue comes (as we saw in the first half) when our dumber than dumb OC tries to put Dak in charge and we go pass happy.

Again we saw today that we gave up sacks, our Oline looked out of sync, we gave up penalties before the snap.. we looked WOEFUL in the first half against one of the weaker teams in the NFL.. in the 2nd half we go back to the run game, the defence steps up with FIVE turnovers.. and we still only eek out 21 points (7 of which were at the death/garbage time). Only in dallas is that celebrated.

I'm glad we got the win.. but we have got some serious issues on this offence and Dak is part of it. Nothing about how he and Moore are approaching things makes me feel at ease. This game, again, relied on an elite defence and Pollard and Zeke. Need our OC and QB to recognise how this team will win games and then actually commit to it. Stop the marketing BS.

The 2nd Dr., Prescott was brilliant. Drive stalled inside the 5 yard line because a playcalling

I have plenty of Confidence.

It's ok, 113 rating and missing on 5 passes the whole game is somehow horrible. lol

If he went 29-32 for 350 and 3 TDs the forum would be erupting that all Dak does is beat up on the awful teams and pad his stats.

The levels of vitriol are insane.

Dak is not great. Dak is not bad. Dak is a good NFL QB paid approximately his market value ($40 mil a year puts him at 9th in annual value among NFL QBs).

Could you argue he is overpaid by about $5-$10 million a year? Yeah, you could.

Is he perfect? Absolutely not. His game has some very visible flaws.

Despite this, has he proven to be good enough to make this team dangerous with the right supporting cast? Yes I would say that is true.

Wow!
With a spin like that you must be a ballerina!
Except for the referees the Cowboys might have lost that game. Dak and the Cowboys got all kinds of help.
The NFL is playing with fire with referees this bad and their foray into gambling.
I guess you didn’t like the second Drive. Prescott was brilliant only to be Stalled by the Run game

The people who are tired of excuses from the should've would've could've crowd.
So you are taking it on yourself to speak on their behalf? And you are doing so by fighting this fight on a public fan forum.
So what are you going to do about it? You are tired of the excuses from other fans or the organization? You demand change.
It's a good fantasy.

My advise..... enjoy the ride. It's not that serious.

You mean besides the 5 sacks, 5 turnovers (3 in Detroit territory) and an effective running game that was the "actual" reason for the win, the same as what Rush also used in his 4-1 start?

Man, I need my glasses prescription fixed obviously for that 190 yd masterpiece I watched over the worst dee in the league.

Uh....
yeah.

Got it.
It's gotta be the glasses, I tell ya.
You don’t have a freaking clue

Of the 24 teams that have played games this week, the 24 points Dallas scored is more points than 17 other teams have scored. Top 6 in scoring this week so far.

More than Rodgers, Brady, Garrapalo, Danny Dimes, Herbert, and 12 others.

And here I thought you said that I need glasses because of the extreme difference in QB play from Rush to Dak and comparing it to this game.
And how Dak's individual performance affected this game as compared to Coop's wins.
So when I responded that the defense's sacks and turnovers plus an effective running game (just as they were with Coop)were more responsible than Dak's passing yards...

I did not expect a report on low league wide scoring as compared to 24 points in the Dallas Detroit game.

Maybe just a simple, "yeah, ya know the defense and running game were the bigger influences on the Dallas win than Dak"

But then again,
You be you man.

I will be me, thank you for giving me permission.

I see you fall into the category of: If Dallas wins, it’s a team game. If they lose, our QB is no good.

Got it.

I can't argue with this.

It really isn't that hard.

Stats have nothing to do with it. What it boils down to is the team has a top 5 D...two guys that can run the ball...can the QB make the critical plays at the critical time when needed? That's what this boils down to at this point for this season. Right now I don't have confidence. This is not a team that gives me confidence playing from behind.

That was the rustiest looking only missed 5 passes performance I've seen. He's got Chicago and the bye to get going. He really doesn't need to anything other than be ready to make those critical plays when needed against the better teams in this league. Otherwise we'll be watching the same movie again we all have for the last 10 years... one and done.

Against the better teams in the conference if he looked like this vs Lions. There is nothing I seen today from DAK that leads me to believe that he can lead this team to a win over the eagles late in the season or win in the playoffs
He had 5 incomplete passes in the game
Had a 113 rating
Hasn’t played but a handful of game snaps since last season
Any reasonable person would say he came back and played a solid game
