If we win I will be happy we won and have a good week. If we lose I will go to tankathon and see how our draft position changed. This year I am looking for the positive any way I can. Life is too short to be miserable. My expectations are so low that I am not feeling the normal sting of a loss each week.
Then we get to watch jerruh botch the high 1st pick in the draft next spring.

I have no problem with objectivity, I know this whole team sucks, including QB 1.
Why the pot shot at QB1, when you simply said, "whole team". Couldn't help it. We understand, it's misery. I don't get it, we've had failures, underachievement, and letdowns even before Dak.
We know why.

You guys realize that for all the hate Dak gets - we don’t have anyone better on roster, right? Dallas will still continue to underperform and lose games - without having Dak to blame. Hopefully you’re prepared to accept that.

Hopefully we tank and start a rebuild with a good selection of draft picks for the coming year. Maybe we can snag our QB of the future, or a defensive lineman worth a damn.
Then we start Trance against the Giants and Carolina and make a run for a top 3 pick.

How can anyone believe Rush will be a change agent and turn the season around? Mahomes wouldn't have much of a positive impact in Dallas with all else staying the same.

The real problem and controversy would occur immediately as Rush and backup WR's, along with Ferguson start racking up points, or eeking out a win in surprising fashion.... that would set Valley Ranch on fire.

I think that if the coaches come out with a conservative game plan a la parcels, we can win this game with rush and we wouldn't be so bad in the games that we've lost previously. But it's a coaching issue. Let's see what they do.

Well for me if you are the leader of the team, you demand the highest salary in the league, you handle the ball on every snap, you are a 9 year vet, you most be held by a higher standard than everybody else, specially if you talk a big game and frequently come up short at crunch time.

Is not personal for me with Dak, I think he is a great guy and has lived a lot of adversity in his life. I respect that he works hard, but TBH at this stage I came to the conclusion he just don't have it in him. The Dallas Cowboys QB position is the hardest job in sports, it brings the fame and wealth but also brings along the biggest criticism.

You can have good players and the team can still suck. Sooner or later some of our fans will figure out it is a team sport.

Fair enough.....let's root for Cooper this Sunday.

The one's that do nothing but post about Prescott and constantly trashing him just can't help themselves. To suggest simply installing a different QB on this grossly underachieving team is beyond ignorant.
Suggesting Rush will lead anything is even more ridiculous.
Daks injured, ya'll got your wish and yet you can't stop talking about him.:laugh:

I think the front office is holding out hope for sneaking into the playoffs, believe it or not.

But if we reach 9 losses, then it will be time for QB3 to give it a go.

I don't know if he can turn the season around, but I do know the quarterback position will be played better than with Dak.

Rush isnt going to "Lose" these games, you dont give QB2 the ball with the worst defense and running game in the NFL and ask him to "Win/Lose" the game....well maybe this FO does because you know 30 years of suck dumb....Rush will try and drive the bus until he is forced to get aggresive at which point its gonna look bad..just like it has for the first half of the season because the Oline is a siv and the WR's get real sketchy after WR1....that isnt on Rush.

Bus? We have a tricycle at best.

Who thinks this team is just one player from not being a bad team? Rush will QB for an offense with no running game and a bad offensive line. Maybe the guys up front with try harder knowing Rush is not the QB Dak is? Who knows. But we have to be honest about this team. They have some major holes in the roster and Rush is not going to fill them.
