This was the perfect trade to rock the boat

Trey Lance has some decent dual-threat physical abilities (similar to Dak), but he has no where even close the college experience or accrued statistical results that Dak had. Not even close...

Trey Lance needs lots of time learning and will likely need 2 full years to see if he catches on as a formidable #2 or not.

Am I reading that correctly? Does that say Trey didn’t throw an interception in a whole season?

 

[Zekeats]

If Lance is going up the depth chart......wouldn't pressure be on Cooper Rush initially?

Yeah it’s not immediate but possibly just in time when contract talks start

Jerry demands a return on investment.

He spent millions on Dak.

For what? No pro bowls since 2018 and crap playoff losses.

Obviously a decision has been made.

The transition to TL is going to happen.

Dak and the Cowboys have played better since he signed the extension. He was the best quarterback in the NFC until his calf injury in 21. He also ended the GOATs career with a record performance in the playoffs. Let’s not get it twisted like ESPN/FoxSports, Dak is a good quarterback. Top 10 in the world.

 

[baltcowboy]

This right here. If Dak defecates the bed in the playoffs again there is going to be some serious concern in the FO about extending him to a huge contract when you have Micah and Ceedee waiting to get paid. At that point you'd have to consider that Dak has hit his ceiling and his contract would be prohibitive to getting or keeping the players that have a chance of dragging him to a super bowl. They'd have to consider trading him and drafting a qb to have a camp battle with Lance at that point, either of them being cheap options that would allow us to add more talent to the team overall.

Bingo. Dak literally is gambling it all on this season. He is not signing an extension. Dak wants all the cash. I don’t blame him. The Cowboys make a billion off of marketing alone. I just don’t think the Cowboys want to give him the bag again.

We’ve been here along time together homie. Not a ton of us left. We have had some disagreements and some agreements over the years. But man. It’s taken a toll on you. You’re so negative all the time now. Didn’t use to be this bad.

Define bad, please.

Am I always inserting negative comments in threads about one player only, and littering almost every thread with the same contentious whining that has consumed this place for almost six years? Do I behave as if I'm totally dissatisfied with this team and that presents me with the right and the opportunity to make others miserable with the continued vitriol about one issue?

I am very careful now as to what I post. I disagree, and do so, - and I might be wrong about this, so you correct me, please - I do so without being mean or slanderous.
I am extremely unhappy about the posters who are one trick ponies who continue their harping. Very seldom is there a thread which is positive and continues to be so. A handful of posters create turmoil in even the most innocuous threads. I see them and their actions as nothing more than trolls. That was not tolerated in the past. It appears this manufactured dissention is the soup du jour now days.

I have a position.

This team created the crap sent onto the field last year by jettisoning Amari Cooper. The WR squad was cratered by the owner meddling in football affairs. There were players that had no business being on the field in the passing game. The bumbling Keystone Cops that batted almost half of the balls to the other team on take-aways was at the core toward the end of the season's failure.

Dak needs a clean pocket. I don't give a whistler's damn what some other QB on some other team does. Dak is this team's QB and will remain so. If that is the case, and it is, then what has to happen to put him in the best position to thrive? The guy puts up monster numbers when protected.

Build an offensive line that opens holes and protects. I see little in the actions of the owner in either realizing this truth, or taking actions to insure the offense is in the best position to succeed. This season's machinations in regard to the offensive line is a carbon copy of last year's amateurish leadership over decisions about sending Cooper away for a fifth.

Schoon may end up a Hall of Famer for all I know. If he does I will be at the forefront in claiming I made a huge error and was not for him being drafted in the second over an offensive lineman. Just like I own the fact I wanted Bobby Carpenter drafted.

But what this team needed was answers to glaring questions that arise when Tyron Smith will again join the others in the tub, and there isn't a solid answer on reconfiguring this offensive line to keep Dak upright.

I have been on point about this for the entire off season. If you read into my dissatisfaction with Jerry and Stephen's bungling as me being constantly negative, I suppose I stand guilty.

I am excited about the passing game. I am very excited after watching the Raider game in this Gulf Coast Offense© that will be featured. I saw several players who will be contributors. Luepke has a spot on this team if I had a say.

I don't post as much as I have in the past because I've grown weary of the corrosiveness and vehemence which I see thriving here, much like a virus.

I can tolerate Jerry and Stephen and the billionaire Madden game they play. Can't change the fact they make the errors which translate into L's and not W's

But, I very much miss the days when people actually talked football on this site, and were more interested in the team than the number of likes they acquire for their asininity, or the Don Rickles façade they rest behind to offer up character assassinations to anyone who disagrees with their sullenness over who throws the football and who is the head coach.

No sir, it is not the team, players, coaches, or this site which is the focal point of my inimical posture. It is the crapola which is pinched off at every turn.

Frankly, I say to them, piss on someone else's parade.

TD3, I’m with you bro. I feel almost exactly how you feel. The biggest place we differ is I believe Jerry has evolved into a football dude. He came into football the same as Jimmy, From the same NCAA team, at the same time. He’s been surrounded for 30 years by the smartest NFL minds and the best NFL players of all time. There’s not one of us that don’t wish we were in the same position as he has been in.

I apologize if I lumped you in with the rest of the pukes here who have been allowed to make this place the cesspool it is. I must have seen a couple things at the same time and just assumed you had fallen into their trap. My bad!!!!

Bingo. Dak literally is gambling it all on this season. He is not signing an extension. Dak wants all the cash. I don’t blame him. The Cowboys make a billion off of marketing alone. I just don’t think the Cowboys want to give him the bag again.

100% Dak will sign an extension, I'm not even sure how this is a question.. the Cowboys dont really have a choice here other than saying goodbye to some defensive pieces they want. He will not see the 60mill next year unless we are doing an unload on players.

Your good. No need to apologize. I can be snippy and sometimes not realize it.

I cannot fathom how some mistakes can be made which appear obvious before they were made. I get that Cooper might have been a squeaky wheel, and maybe even a malcontent. But who else in the organization but Jerry would have pulled that trigger? A 5th for a guy you gave a first.

I'm certain you recall Jerry calling himself a wild-catter. Has to do with hunting for oil and being unpredictable. I just can't see Jerry ever releasing his grip on the reins. As to that, his decisions on the offensive line is rolling the dice, in my opinion.

I guess we'll see.

 

[AbeBeta]

Great job for once. Dak needs some real pressure. Lance was a high pick, comes from a winning program and didn’t play much due to injury. This gives me hope I haven’t had since 2006

this isn't about replacing Dak. It is about what the staff know about Dak as a teammate and how he will undoubtedly be a great developmental influence on Trey.
