The way McCarthy is calling plays shows he has no trust in Dak

It's one game folks ... with 3 OL out. No one can win under those situations.

when the arizona QB that cost almost nothing looks better than Dak, You have to question your top 10 QB !! Dak is in the 15 th in ranking . This team has invested big and given him the money and the OL and Defense to win. he has not. The experiment will only yield the 10 win season average. if that is what you want , then he fits that bill. he will not take this team further. 8 years are enough experimenting and waiting. The excuses have to end for dak at a certain stage.
Listen, Prescott had some dumb throws, I'll never deny that, but he literally threw the ball twice as much as Dobbs. 40-21. At least research something. There isn't anything aside rushing yards that you should attempt to use. But you're not concern with accuracy, just dumping. I bet you blame Dak for the defense allowing that kind of lead.

Listen, you seem to enjoy dak . and want deflect. Don't worry , he has been here 8 years and will be here at least 3-5 more. You focus on blaming eveyone else,for the loss. The point is , this is not and will not be the last game he folds in . But let us not hurt dak's feelings. let us give him another 4-5 years to figure things out. LOL.
Meawhile the eagles got to the SB with Hurts after 2 years. Cincy with burrows after 1 year. If you have a winner at QB , you usually have results in 2-3 years.

Are you dense? Read the 1st sentence you're responding to.

The quarterback moved the ball up and down the field. It was all about the red zone, and nothing else.

Ever think playbook was shortened or altered due to 3 new OL playing? Just a thought

Like I said yesterday, I'm a Dak Skeptic, and I think we should trust Dak more. The lack of trust was the shocking reveal from yesterday's game.

Because we won and the defense dominated. But anyone who was honest with themselves wasn't exactly impressed with how the offense looked those first two games.
In the first two games, it seemed like the Cowboys strategy was to become a low-risk ball-control offense and let the defense do the heavy lifting all year. I don't love the idea, but eit makes a certaain amount of sense. What I wrongly figured was that during off games, Dak would get more leash when we needed to make a comeback.

Therefore, I was blown away by yesterday's game.

Who puts more trust into their quarterback....
a) the Cowboys in Dak Prescott, or
b) the Jets in Zach Wilson?

Then we don't need to be paying Dak a big salary if it is "nonsense" to expect him to bail the team out. Any scrub off the streets can fail for you for a lot less money.
Yea this is a really dumb point.

Jealous of another man's money, that's all this is.

I think you are spot on and the Cowboys basically told us this all offseason. The Cowboys seemed to admit they were willing to give up points in order to churn more clock and be more efficient.

Keep blaming the coaches and ignore the player? Dak has shown his hand for years and some of you refuse to believe it. It doesn’t matter who’s coaching.

It is obvious MM does not think Dak has the long ball capability , nor the improvisational talent when facing a pressing defense.
Dak knows he cannot get fired and has no job insecurity at all. I think his attitude shows it. No audibles or any crativity.
This is the type of game where a QB like romo would have won. Dak again cannot bail the defense when it has a tough day, I hope this season can be salvaged and that this is a fluke game. But it is concerning .
Just as Romo would have thrown 3 INTs in this game,..vs Dak's one INT. :confused:

But if this offense fizzles keeps up all season, that's gonna be the end of the big Mac in Dallas.
Suspect play calling, (along with feuds vs Rodgers) and his own suspect DC's were the reasons why
he was supposedly fired in mid season in GB.

Yep, and it's amazing you have to put your 8 year veteran $140 million QB on a leash in the first place.

But yeah, the entire philosophy is to have the defense carry the team and have Dak be a bus driver trying to limit the mistakes. But when the defense is off, like yesterday, then we are doomed trying to play from behind.
