Stroud just annihilated the best defense in football. Dak would have crapped his pants facing that defense. Hell, he had googly eyes and jelly arms against a mediocre defense that rarely even got pressure on him.
There really is no legit defense of Dak last night. The line did not perform badly and the Packers as you mentioned do not have a good pass defense. We even were running the ball fairly decently until we had to go into desperation mode.

He was God awful and there's no way he deserves an extension but he will probably get it

Stroud kind of pops the whole even good QBs need tons of weapons claims that the Dak fans have made.

And it's not like Jordan Love was out there throwing to a bunch of Hall of Famers himself either. Dak had the better WRs/TEs yesterday.

Texans have a fantastic up and coming HC and QB, the most important pieces of a championship team. They are a lot of fun to watch. They are going to be the best team in Texas for a long time.
It took them 1 offseason.

1 offseason to hire that coach and draft that QB.

Yet we have fans here that will scream from the mountain tops that you can't get rid of Dak because he's not easily replaced.

I agree, but in fairness the Panthers tried it also.

And Houston had a top pick.

It wasn't like they plucked Stroud at 28 and away they went.

I am generally curious, however, what Dak might fetch in the open market in terms of picks. People will talk about his contract but honestly, we have to eat much of it due to bonuses, restructures, etc. I think any team taking him in a trade would only be on the hook for $34MM, which for a starting QB, isn't outrageous.

Not good weapons; more like competent weapons. The Patriots did it for years. All you need is competent players and buy-in on the culture.

The Texas didn't start playing until 2002.

The Bears, Commanders, Dolphins, Browns, and Lions are all that's left behind us.
Look you have been right about how we aint gonna win it and had some epic thread battles with the posters who think we can.
As much as the quoted stuff is true. I would be more interested in the way forward.

Can the cowboys accept they cant produce when it matters and how can they change it....... hold on a mo its JJ/ SJ at the reigns...

Argghhh.....

The Stans were completely obliterated last night. Not one so far has had the character or integrity to admit they were wrong

Not really.

They made the playoffs in 2018 and 2019 then all the Watson stuff happened.
Three straight seasons with 4 or less wins before this year. Do you think Cowboys Fans or JJ would be able to go through this? ;)

Rebuilds are words scared people use to justify staying the same.

The Texans didn't "rebuild" anything.

They simply got rid of their weirdo QB, got a new coach, and drafted a QB.

The Cowboys could do this also, but Jerry is terrified to take that chance.
Texans had 2nd and 3rd overall picks

Literally impossible
If they make it to the conference title game they will leave Dallas in an ever shrinking pool of teams that can't seem to ever make it even that far. I think we all know that we are headed for being the last team in that dubious club.

Most normal teams going through a cycle of sucking, but then improving due to draft position, new hires, etc. It's kind of necessary in this day and age.

Jerry's kryptonite are those seasons of sucking because he wants to sell, sell, sell.

Unfortunately you're right, I think that's probably going to happen and we'll rightfully deserve every bit of ridicule.

Not sure why anyone would ever argue that you need tons of weapons.

In fact, top WRs rarely win super bowls.

What we have is plenty
