Why is Dak not playing?

[Strykerscm]

You see Mahomes, Allen and other legitimate qbs playing preseason yet radio is still chewing gum and clapping his hands.

See: Overshown, Demarvion.

It’s pretty clear that McCarthy doesn’t want to risk key players’ health in the preseason.

Agree or disagree. That’s why Dak isn’t playing.

It has been said repeatedly. McCarthy feels that going against our defense is enough to prepare us. And it reduces the potential of losing someone to injury before the season. I believe if we had a young offense or QB, they would get some playing time. And it is about 50-50 on teams that play their starters and teams that don't. I really don't see getting one or maybe two series as anything that is going to make a difference compared to playing in practice.

I will further this correct statement by saying

The first unit needs to play.
Whether Dak, or whoever else, gets injured in preseason or during one of the live game makes little difference.
They need to knock off the rust.

Nothing to gain by him playing. The coaches and FO feel he can pick up where he left off last season .

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Dak is what he is at this point.

He's not elite...and rolling the dice in a preseason game isn't going to change that.

Despite his flaws...there's a BIG drop between the #10 / #12 qb in the league (dak) aaalllllllll the way down to whatever frightening number Cooper Rush would be ranked at (70? Lower?)

And the other teams' DBs can PICK up where they left off with Dak last season too

 

[Vtwin]

Last season the offense was terrible in game #1 and Dak got hurt.

Take from that what you will.

 

[noshame]

No reason to start the QB controversy until they have too.

 

[MyFairLady]

Princess makes 40 mil per he is large and in charge. He may decide to skip the first couple regular season games. Stay tuned.

Still tearing down our other players to prop Dak?

I'm grateful to have a back QB like cooper. He did fine last year and you still hate him. At least when you have to defend Dak. Use coop!

That is exactly what I just alluded to in another thread when someone said "end the preseason games"!

 

[pitt33]

That man needs to play.

Maybe his injury history has the FO skittish.

 

[Zekeats]

it would be like Michael Jordan playing in the G league.

Because the offensive line wasn't fully ready. I agree they shouldn't put Dak out there with misfits up front.
