The only thing Jerry can do to restore confidence in the Cowboys is to replace Dak Prescott

[Chasing6]

This is why the saying is for GMs, "if you listen to the fans then soon you will be sitting with them". As far as QBs who can make the Cowboys better, considering that among GMs coaches, and scouts (you know the professionals who study players and how to beat/value them for a living), Dak is a top 10 QB, you are probably looking at maybe 7-8 who are not a downgrade. I am also somewhat sure that the other teams with their top 10 guys are not going to be moving off of them anytime soon. That basically leaves you with the option of downgrading and there are not exactly a lot of teams that have gotten better after getting worse at QB.

The problem is we don't have a GM.

If you're looking for regular season trophies then extend our current over hyped, overpaid, less than mediocre QB, but after 3 decades of failures to reach a NFC Championship or SB game maybe it's time for a change and that change has to start with a different leader at the QB position. JJ wasted the top two picks in last year's draft on two players who brought very little to the table. With so many young stud QBs available in this year's draft, why not take a huge chance on a better future for this organization and use the top two or three picks in this year's draft as trade bait to move up to get a QB with a bright future, unless you're satisfied with another REGULAR SEASON TROPHY!

"Top 10" is an unprovable, stale and most importantly USELESS TALKING POINT. Talking head points don't count when you have real goals.

GMs, scouts, and coaching are not talking heads. They are literally paid millions to analyze how to beat these players and, after analyzing all of them as it is their job to beat them, they have ranked top 10 multiple years in a row and, considering who is/was ahead and behind him, he is certain to be that again going into next year.

Dak has not been the QB for 3 decades. Less than mediocre QB's don't go 12-5, never mind 3 years in a rough or come in second for MVP.

You mean young stud QB's like Trance? Who got picked in front of Trance. How are those young studs doing.

I agree let's make same mistake the Niners did. Let's trade the farm for a young can't miss stud, pretty sure GM Jeruh just gave up a 4th and we got him already.

Anyone who has a higher than 70 football IQ knows wins are not a QB stat. People who say they are either do not football or are trying to dumb it down for the simple minded. Now maybe the coaches and GMs of all 32 teams are wrong and Dak is not top 10. You think he is not top 15. The thing is though if you were smarter than all of them about football you would be in their office right now and not posting about it here.

When you want to actually win you have to be smart enough to look at the root causes of what caused the team problems. For example against Green Bay the offense had a bad half and the defense had a historically bad game. Now the bad half is something every single offense in the playoffs can claim to have had so the focus is on why did the defense have one of the worst playoff performances you could possibly have (6 TDs in the first 7 possessions leading to the 4th quarter). So lets focus on the historically bad performance by the defense and what was the cause: they got run over and even by the Packers own admission they were targeting the S playing LB. So lets back up: did this exact problem happen during the season? Yes actually multiple times. So analyzing the biggest weakness of the team overall it seems as though it is that if the offense cannot get out to a big lead the defense cannot actually hold up and carry the day. This means the team has no chance without getting an actual LB to solve that problem because, as we saw from every team in the playoffs, there are going to be times when the offense is off for a couple quarters and the defense has to be able to hold up or you have no chance.

If Dak's position is the ONLY part of the roster which needs replacing and if everything else roster plus organizational wise is already in place for the Cowboys to make and win a Super Bowl. Then as I mentioned in another thread there's no reason for why the front office shouldn't have this team IN the Super Bowl within 2 or 3 years after Dak is replaced.

And THAT’S the major disconnect so many on this board seem to have - quite a few blame Dak and ONLY Dak because they seem to believe everything else is in place. Ummmm, the D that showed up against the Packers was OBVIOUSLY NOT what a Top Tier D looks like. The OL, with its 3 All Pros seems to struggle running against even lighter boxes (been an issue the last couple of years). So, THEY aren’t ready either. But, replacing Dak is gonna solve ALL these other issues…

 

[ElGatoGrande]

And everyone knows it.
No matter what he says or does, no matter who he signs, fans know that the quarterback position is a problem that will not be fixed until the Cowboys move on from Dak.
He's hit his ceiling, and it's clear that he does fine as long as the Cowboys are whipping weaker teams. But not even the most die-hard Dak supporters can really believe that Dak can make the Cowboys better when they need him to be the reason they take the next step.
If Jerry expects to sell hope to the fans for 2024, he has to make the move that everyone else knows must happen:
He has to find a quarterback who can make the Cowboys better.

As disappointed as I am with Dak's wilting under pressure, it still galls me to no end how Jerry and the other dumb b@stards built a team that was 100% reliant on the QB when their QB is unreliable in the playoffs. OMG and vurt da furk!!! If they keep building teams like this we're in for another 30 years of this crap unless they actually luck off and land the next Mahomes or Aaron Rogers.

If............Who believes that?

Seriously?

When a thread is titled "The only thing Jerry can do to restore confidence is to replace Dak Prescott." That sort of implies that some believe Dak to be the only major issue holding back this team and that they trust that Jerry and Stephen already has everything else in place to get the Cowboys to their sixth Super Bowl win. And implies the belief that getting rid of Dak should have confidence restored in that our front office has the ability to select the QB to get the Cowboys where they want them to be. Despite their many years of failure to do so before Dak even got here.

It's one thing for some fans to want to move on from Dak. And another to be so frustrated to the point of be willing to absolve Jerry Jones and the front office for their part in the Cowboys 30 year Super Bowl drought. The fact that they still will try to win their way and have a belief that their way is the only or true right way to win. And this will probably be a mentality they'll hold onto even after we move on from Dak.

I'm still not going to let Jerry off of the hook just because of the frustration towards Dak. And if Dak goes, then Jerry still has no excuses not to do all that he can to help the next Cowboys QB succeed. We shouldn't have to wait another 5 years or more of this front office going through different QBs and rosters, just to end up with the same failed results we have been seeing over the last 30 years.

Implies, trust, everything, already, in-place, Super Bowl win.

Implies, belief, confidence, front office, ability.

I am impressed that you could put sentences together with these worlds talking about the Jones's.

 

[5Stars]

Curious why he thinks it's so funny.

lol...if you had the power to eliminate him using all those little emojis he would go freaking nuts! He would not know how to post anything again. Same for @Qcard....

 

[Risen Star]

I'm like the last guy to defend Prescott but he is just a symptom of the cancer at the very top of this organization.

If you wanted a chance to truly fix the franchise you would have to have new ownership. Nothing less than that. As long as the Jones family is involved the Dallas Cowboys are screwed.

Name "them". And so they are paid to *drumroll* give an opinion that makes lemmings feel better. THAT'S IT. Name one other thing the stat does. At least in the NBA, "all-NBA" equates to a max contract. In this case, it's an empty platitude to someone who desires a SUBSTANTIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT.

I have an older car that needs body work. Could use a new exhaust system. But the engine is shot. What's driving your decision-making? kvetching about the dent in the fender or the engine?

The only 1 thing Owner Jerry could do to restore confidence in the Cowboys would be to fire GM Jeruh.

Them being all 32 GMs, all 32 coaches, as well as team scouts. One of their responsibilities is to fill out said ranking system and they are not allowed to include their own players. Somehow these professionals who are paid watch film and study how to beat all these players, as well establish how valuable they are and what they are worth, decided Dak was one of the 10 best QBs in football. Lets also be clear that was BEFORE he was 2nd team all pro this year so that ranking is sure to go up.
