Jerry does not hide what he is thinking very often. He comes straight out and tells you, if you listen. he was ust quoted as saying they see Dak as the qb for a very long time. They are working on an extension now.

He may have used Lance as leverage to try to keep Dak at a contract that is reasonable... meaning he aint getting Burrow, Hurts type money... but Dak isnt going anywhere anytime soon.
So you believe what people say more than what people do?

Yes, because Romo is old news and is not with the team. The only reason to bring Romo up is to deflect from the sucky job that Dak has done so far. Oh, and you say in the 49'er game he threw a couple of picks, yes, and those are the ones that lost the game. The defense held the 49'ers to low scoring, but then came hop along Dak to screw it up with just "a couple of picks".
If Pollard doesn’t get hurt they probably win. If Zeke doesn’t drop a sure TD they might win. If Diggs makes a couple plays they could have had a shot. It was a team loss.

I'm waiting for you, Steve, to fulfill the first part of the Vegas sentence.
Hmmm...you wanna play Vegas odds and can't come up with a grand?

Don't do the crime if ya can't do the time, playa.

However...using other people's money? Gangtsa. If you can stand the heat.

No mention of dak. Priceless!

blame everyone BUT dak.

BTW...which pass for a sure TD did elliot drop?

Was that after the 9er's gave him a dirty concussion out of bounds? 9 yards PLUS 15 yard penalty. When Tony got hurt and Dak throws an interception?

If...one of the smallest words around. If...if...just if.

It kinda looks like the Lance trade was an act of quiet desperation on Jerry's part.
Jerry doesn't want to extend Dak.
Jerry is hoping and praying that Lance can pickup the offense quickly and mature quickly. It could also be that Jerry is regretting not drafting a formidable young QB last few years to light a fire in Dak.
Jerry already has a proven backup in Rush.
Why would he bring in a young green kid?

Trey Lance will not supplant Dak unless injury. And even then the team will go with Rush until he shows he cannot lead a stacked team.
All the gushing over Lance reminds me of when the Beatles came on Ed Sullivan. The girls in school on Monday were just like a great deal of you. Pining away on something that will never take place.
Then why give up a 4th to get Lance?
Jerry could have just kept Grier.

Grier is a walk-on.
Lance was a top 3 first round pick.
But Lance has had two years to show nothing.
Jerry is chasing Jimmy and will make any boneheaded move to prove he's a football guy.

Who are the SB winning QB's you speak of Pat Mahomes and who????
To have any chance of winning a SB you need a QB that shows up when needed. We saw Hurts go toe to toe in the SB. Burrows has beaten the Chiefs and made it to a SB.
Stafford struggles but made plays to get his team a SB win. Josh Allen played one of the most spectacular games against the Chiefs a few years ago in the playoffs. Those guys haven't all won SBs but they have shown at some point the can play great against good teams. Several things they all have in common that Dak doesn't have is strong accurate arms and pedigree.

People in here still haven’t realized Dak isn’t going anywhere. Same lot told us last year was Daks last year here. These people have no clue. The club has zero room to wiggle. They’re forced to extend his contract.
The extension thread will be legendary and tragic. Might have to shut the site down for a day

cowboys need to pick a QB from the next draft . Trey may not pan out . The most important position in the NFL has been ignored by jerry and has been based on dak and a back up ( rush) that no one wants. No one knows what trey can do . Failure at SF is not a good sign ,
He never even had an opportunity SF
