I already know how this thread will go.

Someone tell me this is a good thing. That we're a run first team.

It's not necessarily a good thing, but how you get your yards really doesn't matter. If you're running the ball well and eating up clock, you're probably not going to throw for over 300 yards. In 2014 I think Romo had one game throwing for over 300.

I thought WINS were all that mattered?

Let me get this straight. When Dak passes for over 300 and 3 TDs. And we lose. Its garbage time. Or he was just "padding his stats with a big lead" when he doesnt and the run game and defense put up points and we win. We have a problem? Jesus. Y'all make me laugh.

If you cared about wins you'd want a real QB that you can trust in big games against good teams.
LOL. Typical goal post mover. What else is new. This team is 9-3. In the playoffs for back to back years for the first time since the early 00's and you're here complaining. What a joke.

What are you going to do if this team makes it to the NFFCG for the first time in 27 years with Dak?

My god I cant wait to see those posts.

We’re a run first team and another case and point to my argument the WR room is awful.

Outside of Lamb, zero threats at the WR position.

You think with your heart instead of your brain when it comes to certain players.

That's why you bet me Zeke would have 1,000 yards this season (He only needs to average about 90 yards a game the rest of the way. He's only gotten 90 yards once this season).

What am I gonna do if we make the NFCCG? I'll be right here jumping with joy with the rest of ya if that happens. The only way that happens though is if Dak stays out of the way and plays bus driver.

No I think with my eyes. How did Dak do in that Minnesota game? Or is that not a big game against a good team in your eyes? You make up stuff and then keep backtracking every single time.

"wins are all that matter" No. You want to win with someone other than Dak. Period. Its clear for everyone to see now. You wont be jumping for joy if this team makes it there. Especially if its because Dak has a Minnesota like game. You will be no where to be found.

And yeah. Zeke also missed 2 games. If he didnt he would have been on pace for 1000. It is what it is.

- Is it the passing yards that win you games ? ... Or is it the total points scored that win you games ?

Total Points ...Total TDs, ..Red Zone Efficiency ...3rd down ratio .A balanced well-designed run/pass offense .QB ratings and Win % percentage ..that's what i'm more focused on offense.

-Dak could average for 280 avg. yards and 3 TDs, with a 138 QB ratio while we rank No.1 in NFL in points scored and 3rd down/Red zone ratio
.. and i'd be totally satisfied.

- Let the Fantasy Footballers whine and gripe about lack of 300 pass stats.

Some fans don't get the X's and O's and think every snap is on Dak.

Yah, I mean I don’t care as long as we’re winning but I’ve been very vocal about our WR room being a legit concern.

No matter what you think of the QB not sure how that isn’t clear as day.

Dak was great in Minnesota game. He did exactly what we needed him to do and I made a thread about it right after. He took what the defense gave him and didn't try to do too much.

He then came out next game against the Giants trying to be something he's not for the 1st half, then slowed it down in the 2nd half of that one and looked much better.

You should've thought about Zeke's health issues before making the bet with me. I did. I even brought it up as one of the reason why I think he won't reach 1,000 even with the extra game. Again, it was heart over brain.

The problem with that is the Cowboys have lost the TOP in most games this year.

Try again. Maybe excusing the QB will be more successful next time. May I recommend blaming the scheme?

LOL. You make me laugh. You definitely are good at that. No one can predict injuries. No one. Zeke has been pretty healthy throughout his career. So no. I was using my head. You are arguing a moot point.

You already backtracked on your bulljive "wins are all that matter" mantra. The Cowboys are top 5 in every category that matters on offense. 3rd down percentage, red zone percentage etc. Yet "he cant throw for 300 yards and 4 TDs" lol. This sounds like 2016 all over again. What a joke. Have a good day man. This whole board knows what you are now. And I am finally seeing it. Nothing but a troll.

It’s all lambs fault. He hasn’t improved since his rookie year.

If you think putting up identical stats with the same number of targets is improvement then he's improved.

How does it feel to know you're going to lose a bet against someone that you think knows nothing about football?

If you cared about winning you wouldn't be such a Dak homer. Maybe you care about participation trophies instead?
