I will never accept my beloved team being held in playoff purgatory by Dak or any QB that has or will play the position in the future.
See with guys like myself its TEAM first then everything else.
Why should I have to accept Dak and his flaws esp after 28 years of hunger?
Why should the defense sacrifice and have it all wasted due to those DAK FLAWS????
No Sir, TEAM 1st, and the sooner that imposter of a QB1 leaves us the better!!!
yes, in all your futile comments in the past and present, you have never offered any thought into even an approach on how to address the issue. nothing but complaints, whining and trolling.

yeah, you care. NOT

To me the biggest take away way was we don't have enough on offense.
Pollard going down shouldn't be the same as Irvin getting injured against Carolina in the 96 playoff divisional game.
This team lacks weapons and I think they still do especially in the modern NFL. We should be going after Hopkins, I think we should have signed a RB like Penny or Damien Harris, both of these RB's signed for pennies.
The offense needs move diversity of playmakers and of course Dak made some boneheaded mistakes in that game, which just is not acceptable.
Oh yeah sign a kicker, why have we not signed Gould yet?
Jerry often build a top heavy team. one or two stars with big drop off after, thus creating risks to the team success, given injuries are a big part of NFL. he builds teams to sell jersey's. two good players that maybe better for the team, don't sell as many jersey's as a star player.

Dak Bashers....do you see me as being akin to @PAPPYDOG ???? I'm nothing like, but it's easy for some to lump everyone that has any concern as a Basher/Hater
If you feel the need to kiss up to the Dak lovers no need to use the PAPPYDOG as your lipstick.
GL.....and ya they hate me with a passion as the TRUTH always hurts......
Now do us all a favor and join them and tell the world about Dak's greatness as your need to be liked is a great one.....

oooh, is there a disagreements among the ranks. you don't want to associate yourself with Pappy...yet you jumped to his defense, praising his comment and defending him.

and its funny, you get upset with me calling you a basher, yet you pointed fingers at me right off the bat as one of those who makes excuses for dak.

the pot calling the kettle black!?
Yet again you're sounding like there's a conspiracy. I certainly stand by bashing him for his apparent inability to step up when it matters and manage a comeback....that doesn't mean I'm in the Bashers RANKS, just means I call out his weaknesses.
You are an apologist, you spent paragraphs defending the 49ers game, which any fence sitting fan would agree that he didn't step up and was/is a reason why he possibly isn't the QB to pin hopes on....excellent when things are going well, though is left wanting when the onus is on him.

Just pointing out to fans of Dak that those labeled as a Basher or Hater don't all have extreme such extreme views as yourself.

Saying Dak is not qualified to be under center since 2016 after all we have witnessed is NOT extreme...............
HF letting a few Dak lovers leave you questioning your character and common sense....... :omg: .......Hate has nothing to do with our QB problem its something that is used to take the issue where the Dak lover's minds are .....the social gutter!

Conspiracy? what conspiracy? you are revealing so much of your mindset.

I never said he shouldn't or doesn't need to step up. again, said it 100 times over. he is not elite. as a result, you ain't getting a mahomes or Burrow. I have never said he doesn't have weaknesses, on the contrary. Just because I don't bash, doesn't mean I defend. that's the mistake by Dak bashers, who are very sensitive about that slight difference in approach. to most Dak bashers its black and white. if you are not bashing, you must be an apologist. you are teetering on that line yourself. you have already said it indirectly, but trying to stay away from that directly.

and I am with you. I call out weaknesses. not just for Dak, but for the team. where you tend to singularly focus on Dak and want a nice little box to place all the blame, I don't subscribe to that philosophy, as I think there are many other weaknesses. we know Dak is not elite and just like any other non-elite QB, they need to be surronded in the right system, right coaches and right players. doesn't mean we can't suceed, it must means we have to do it differently. if having Elite QB was the only way to win, then lets just cancel the season, have Cinci and KC play a game, draw two teams from a hat on NFC side and lets just have a playoff and be done with it.

and I tend to call out Bullshiet or wrong analysis and people tend to take that as defending. if you focus on the wrong problem, you will solve the wrong problem. and end up with similar results. there were many bad plays in that game. like I said, In that specific series, I didn't hop on the bash bandwagon regarding that first play, so you called me an apologist. and you did again. I explained and corrected or borught different perspective on the other two plays. you called me an apologist.

and I didn't spend paragraph's defending the 49ers game. that's you following a pre-planned line of argument. we only discussed 3 plays in a series. not the whole game.

and let me ask you. lets kick Dak to the curb. I am with you, if you have a reasonable realistic plan to make us better. if you don't have a better plan, then what we have is best we got and we have to figure out how to do with it. otherwise all you are doing is complaining, for the sake of complaining.

Yea which proves we didnt mail in that we were running on 1st Downs. The whole argument is you have to be able to run vrs the 9er's as they know Dak struggles vrs heavy coverage.
No.

If the opposing defense is going heavy coverage, then they aren't dedicating themselves to stopping the run. That's why the quote was dumb.

They reverted to heavy coverage (with the penalties in Game1 and Pollard inj Game2). If we dont/can't run they'll sit back in coverage...hence we need the run to be effective (as the quote was alluding to)

Paragraph after paragraph of ranting doesn't deflect from the fact that for two playoff games running Dak couldn't manage a hurry up offense and indeed didnt look as if he had the necessary composure.

yeah, sure thing. point fingers. I get the mind set.

Dak sucks. what do you got? or are you avoiding just like all the other Dak bashers? because you have no answer. complain. complain. complain. complain.

I believe Turpin almost broke one open, but cut the wrong way and Diggs dropped an int that hit his chest.
And Dak threw that pick in the red zone. Really killed our momentum. We got away from the run instead of using Malik. I think that was the real killer.

I absolutely agree with you!! If we had a real offensive coordinator, we wouldn't have given up on the run game, in that game and countless others.

When I see the Cowboy fan claim that we had San Fransisco against the ropes, this is what I think of

So we’re soft and unlucky.
The Cowboys were in the game and should have earned some loyalty pride from it's fans. The team should be a little better and be fully in the mix now.

I agree with your basis for premice...winners find a way and win, given adequate learning and now experience.

My focus now, isn't on what coulda woulda been...they were good and got beat.

This season my focus is here:

Beat:

New York Giants
San Francisco 49's
Los Angeles Rams
Buffalo Bills
Philadelphia Eagles

Now, beat each of them as they come up...period. No excuses accepted and that is the standard starting here and now!
