Well I'll give you credit for standing behind your views...I think you are torturing yourself but that's your prerogative.

I hope you have the view that you personally hope your view is proved wrong and dak cones through enough to get the team to an nfcc game or beyond.

We shall see

He absolutely does. Ot want to see Dak succeed. Not because he doesn't think he can. It's because he would have nothing topmost. Literally he only posts on Dak threads only.

Dak has never thrown a lot of interceptions; that always impressed me. So, as much as I like Kellen Moore, I would tend to put the interceptions from last year on him- asking Dak to do too much.
Dak's issue is his inability to be the reason that the Cowboys win against teams when the pressure is on; his tendency to choke rather than step up when things aren't going well.
The Cowboys and the Bengals were the two best teams in the NFL last year, and those two teams should have been in the Super Bowl. Yet Dak was terrible against the 49'ers, even though the defense had San Francisco well under control. Brock Purdy was in over his head, and not yet ready for a game against the Cowboys with that much at stake. Even if he had been, the 49'ers were not as good as Dallas if the Cowboys had a real quarterback.
The Cowboys should have easily beaten the Niners, and Philadelphia would have fallen as well if Dallas had the talent under center to match the rest of the team. The Cowboys can chalk a lost Super Bowl opportunity up to Dak. And it's not the first one.
This is how bad Dak hurts the team. He seems like a great guy, but he's never stepped up when a real quarterback would. Expect the same this season.
The Bengals were unfairly made to play on the road, despite having the best team, because of the Damar Hamlin event that cost them a win and unfairly awarded home field to the Chiefs.
Mike McCarthy will have to find away around Dak if he expects success.

Dallas was not better than Philly last season. Stop this nonsense right now

And what's your solution?

there is no immediate solution now. dak is about to get extended again at 50 mil plus as the cowboys have neglected this position for so long. all bets are on dak at this stage as determined by jerry . Dak will not win a SB for this team with his passing or running. The only way out is if dak gets hurt ( not wishing this on him ) and the cowboys luck into a trade for a game changing QB who has dynamism. something that the eagles lucked into in 2016 when their starter got hurt, and the 49ers had luck with a back up such as Purdy.

Interceptions can be symptoms of other problems. To me, the INTs are bad but that number only counts the bad decisions that resulted in turnovers. Start counting up the bad decisions that resulted in punts, or FGs instead of TDs. When Dak is on, he sees the field, makes good quick decisions and involves all his receivers. When he is off, he holds the ball, doesn't see the field, makes bad choices, takes unnecessary sacks, throws a lot of short passes and tends to focus on one or 2 receivers. I don't know what determines which Dak takes the field, but the Cowboys need to figure it out and resolve it if possible.

As far as I know, 14-3 is still a better record than 13-4. What am I missing here?

The Bengals were 12-4, and eliminated from competing for home field advantage because they would not play 17 games.
KC would not have had home field except Buffalo didn't play 17 games.

Tomorrow the Church of Dak will claim that Interceptions and Fumbles are wonderful and we should all rejoice at have a qb who led the league in Interceptions

Move on from Dak. Rush proved he was better.
If you're not satisfied with Rush, you can't legitimately be happy with Dak.
If you are not satisfied with Rush, find someone else. Rush was better than Dak.

This is exactly the same argument that he was making after week 6. You might was well talk to a brick wall.

Dak leads the Cowboys for a hard fought win from behind on Christmas Eve 2022 against the #2 defense in the league...



There are plenty more wins against top teams throughout Dak's career.

Shut it with the nonsense already.

Had the Bengals beaten the Bills, that gives them a 13-4 record. That still doesn't beat 14-3.

Had the Bills won that game, they would be first seed, and the Bengals would still have a worse record than the Chiefs. Probably playing the Chiefs in KC in the divisional round.

Once KC won their last game, there was no scenario where Cincinnati gets home field over the Chiefs.

Dak's inability to win important and playoff games, and his constant choking when pressured is well documented. He is what he is and the cowboys will need a super elite defense to overcome that and win a SB . a tall task

Every player has a ceiling on how good they can get. Prescott has hit his and will not get any better. They can change the route tree and play calling all they want but Prescott has to be able to still make the throws with consistency and accuracy.
There is a reason Moore was calling all those curl routes. It's and easier throw under pressure.
