We're Still Firmly In QB Purgatory

[Staubacher]

His teammates are also growing tired of him. You could see it yesterday. He's our version of Russell wilson.

At least Russell got them a Bardi

I hear people say that "we don't appreciate what we have" and must have forgotten about "the QBs between Aikman and Romo".

We're still there. It's just a little prettier.

It's time for this organization to take the QB position seriously again. I'd much rather be on the QB search than be handcuffed to a QB that requires everything to be perfect around him. The margin for error in roster building is incredibly small with a QB of Dak Prescott's skill level. We have to hit on everything to succeed with Dak at QB and that takes a lot of smarts and luck.

You're not going to draft the next Patrick Mahomes if you handcuff yourself to Alex Smith.

You’re not going to draft the next Patrick Mahomes if you’re drafting outside the top 10-15. But to do that you’d have to lose 12-15 games. Then we’d hear you cry about how bad this organization and that it can’t compete because of the FO. You are going to complain either way.

If you want Jethro to get rid of Dak you need to root for 5-12 seasons. 12-5 seasons isn’t going to make it happen.

This. 12-5 is already good enough to bring everyone back for Jerry, coaches included.

The Chiefs made the playoffs, but they moved heaven and earth to get up to draft Mahomes. They did not settle for playoffs = good enough. You gave a terrible example of a team that did make the playoffs yet got Mahomes. Right now we're basically The Chiefs with Alex Smith.

Anyone that thinks the Cowboys are in "QB Purgatory" has never seen an NFL team in QB Purgatory.

You could look at the Campo years from 2000 to 2002 to get a better perspective.

When your GM starts rummaging through the list of unsuccessful baseball pitchers to find the next Troy Aikman..........you are truly in QB purgatory.

As a matter of fact, it would be far more accurate to say we have been in GM purgatory since 1993.

Dallas has won 12 games this season and last season but Dak has to have everything perfect to win.....

Has the running game been perfect the last month of the season?

How about the 32nd rank pass blocking OL?

What about receivers other than Lamb, have they been perfect?

What about TEs including 2 rookies, have they been perfect?

How about coaching and the front office, have they been perfect?

It surely can't be the defense that has been perfect.....



This goofy notion that Dak can't win unless everything is perfect is nonsense and anybody that says it shows the lack of knowledge of what they are watching.....or just a hated bias of a particular player.

 

[lukin2006]

The only way we get a better QB is for us to have the number 1 pick and hope whatever QB we draft becomes “the guy.” That’s a big “IF.”

if we do lose Monday…I’m all for tearing this team a part and starting fresh…if that means trading Diggs and Parsons for Draft capital, I’m all in. I’m willing to gamble that we could “maybe” land the next Joe Burrows…

But my preferred method is hiring legit coaches…our coaches are frauds.

It's called Dak Hate.....pure and unadulterated

Dak Haters are FEARFUL playoff week...

 

[Setackin]

Have they shown an ability to draft the next stud QB?

I trust Will McClay to draft a QB. Not saying he’s definitely going to get one right away, but I’d give him a couple swings at it.

These Dak haters will watch this upcoming playoff game at Tampa Bay with hopes the Cowboys lose just to fuel their lust to see Dak no longer in Dallas. That's how bad their hatred is.

My best friend works in DC for the government, and he remembers this is how full of hatred and maddening crazy many Washington fans used to get when Kirk Cousins was their QB. Shortly after Cousins was finally shipped out to the Vikings, those foolish fans started realizing what a huge mistake it was to get rid of Cousins. Today, many of the Cousins haters wish they still had Cousins after the carousel of QBs who have come and gone for that joke of a franchise.

Why do you think our owner is unwilling to make moves at QB?

Good question. I thought about this while watching the Commanders game. I feel Jerry's ego is intertwined with Dak's success. Meaning Jerry wants to be the GM that found a super bowl winning QB in the 4th round. I feel he wants the credit for finding the diamond in the rough. This blinds him to Dak's limitations. If Jerry were to use a draft pick for Dak's successor now, ala Green Bay drafting Love or Kansas City drafting Mahomes then it would be him conceding he was wrong. I don't think he'll do that. The only hope we have is Dak plays so poorly in the playoffs and next season that it forces Jerry's hand to look for his successor.

My hope and belief that Dak can be the guy has been shattered. He's too inconsistent, injury prone, and it's getting to be a mental issue with the interceptions.

Dak was a 4th round pick.
Romo an UDFA.
Given the value of QBs, we should be bringing more in.
Despite having The GOAT at QB, The Hoodie was always spending draft picks on QBs.
McCarthy had his QB camps. We should be carrying QBs and developing them. If McCarthy could pull off his QB Whisperer reputation, it would be a *huge* advantage.
And if he can't, bring in someone who can.
QBs should be like RBs. You keep em coming. You keep them running while you don't have massive money tied up in them.
That's the way I'd build a team. Spend everywhere else, keep the QBs coming, and make the QBs run. IMO, there are more Daks and Romos out there to be had for nothing. Just gotta give yourself a chance to find them, and do your best to develop them while you have them.
