Will McCarthy have the fortitude to pull Dak if necessary?

[Rockport]

if we win no games because of dak's interceptions, I would never pull him.







I'd rather ridicule him. LOL

So you could care less of the Cowboys win as long as Dak sucks. You’re not a fan, you’re a troll.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

This made me think of when teams would replace the QB to try to find a spark.

Don Strock, Gary Kubiak, Steve DeBerg come to mind.

Some others I’m forgetting I’m sure.

The Colts bringing in Johnny Unitas when Earl Morrall was struggling.

No, it's in the proven stats. He led the league in picks last year, despite missing several games.

so perhaps that would be easier to correct as in previous years before that, it wasn't the case with Dak.

as long as it leads to an effective offense. more points then he won't get pulled. I can't see Rush doing anything that would make the offense better.
stafford led the league in interceptions including two in the superbowl and they won.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

3-1 LAST season. 4-1 overall, including the Vikings game when the defense game him no TOs, unlike Dak who didn’t win a game that year I believe when they defense didn’t generate any TOs for him..

Still wrong. Want to try again? And everyone knows Dak has no chance of beating the Vikings. If losing 40-3 didn’t prove that I don’t know what will.

This isn't a troll post. I've posted here for decades, and have donated money to this site. No quarterback should be guaranteed a starting position. There's a point where a QB should get pulled if he plays bad enough. It may be tough to determine that point, but any coach is foolish to stick with a QB whom he can't win with. I would say if he stinks up the place in the first five games, costing us those games, it's time to get him out. Or do you think he should start no matter what?

Maybe you think Landry shouldn't have pulled Craig Morton in the '72 playoff game. Is that it? Never pull your starter no matter what?

no one would disagree that no player should be guaranteed anything. but the point of pulling someone is that you are replacing him with someone better. in this case Rush would never be better than Dak. Rush was clearly not better than Dak. there is no evidence that says, Rush is better than Dak. so unless it all falls apart unexpectedly, totally. then Dak is not going to get pulled. there is no evidence in the past 7 years that would indicate that's a possibility. including the 15 interceptions last year, is not evidence that it fell apart.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

If Dak continues to cost us games, yes.
Jerry will give mike the o k, because Jerry knows his days are numbered. Hell he might even fire mccarthy and Dak. Lol
I still have McCarthy on a 5 game a notice. If we're under 500 after game five, hes down the road.

how is Jerry's days numbers? death. his franchise is worth the most of any sports franchise anywhere. it went from 8.1B to 9.2 B. no superbowls of CG appearance in 27 years....

This is going to be tough for you to hear but it’s 2023.

 

[Havic]

and why would he not Cooper rush is not good enough to replace Prescott on his worst day I mean people think that Troy and Roger never threw interceptions and that would be completely ignorant there are some real ignorant opinions in here as if good quarterbacks get pulled when they throw a lot of interceptions I don't see Josh Allen getting pulled hell how many games did Russell Wilson get pulled last year in he looked horrible how about you Sean Watson these dudes make more money than Prescott and they played worse at times. They don't get pulled because the backups even on their best day are not as good as the starters on their worst day. Seriously I don't get fans Prescott head 25 touchdowns and 15 interceptions and that's arguably and debatable people keep saying it's his worst year that is Troy aikman's very best year exactly that stat 25 touchdowns 15 interceptions was his best year. He literally had years where he had like 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions get 141 interceptions for career and through seventeen of those in the playoffs.. You all act like quarterbacks even the best of all time don't throw interceptions and they in fact do

The league is entirely different now then when aikman played. Tipped balls or off the wr hands do not bother me so much. Prescotts interceptions just look ugly as opposed to being unlucky. It’s clearly mental and they usually come in chunks.

Rush plays within his ability and is playing to not lose rather than to win. He did his job but you can’t ask him to march down the field and win the game for you. Maybe 3/10 times he could do that consistently.

bottom line is I want him to stop forcing things that aren’t there and play smart football. Instead it feels like we have a headcase back there. Remember the Atlanta game and how that game single handedly changed the course of prescotts season?

 

[KJJ]

Dak could put up some real stinkers in consecutive weeks and he wouldn’t get pulled for Cooper Rush. I know some of you can’t wait to see Rush again, because you’re convinced we would’ve won the Super Bowl with him had he remained the starter, but it’s just not happening unless Dak gets injured.

 

[G2]

No, it's in the proven stats. He led the league in picks last year, despite missing several games.

At this point, it's just gotten sad. I hope you recover.

 

[Kwyn]

First, I'm hoping Dak bounces back from his interception troubles and plays great. I hope he plays so well that I say that I'm glad Jones paid him that big contract. I haven't said that yet. If he plays awesome and this team has a shot at the NFCC, then I'll shut up.
...
However, if he stinks up the place, if his interception problem ends up as bad or worse than last year, then McCarthy should pull him. Put in Cooper Rush. I know that would not make Dak happy, but this game isn't about his happiness. It's a meritocracy, and if some other player gives you a better chance to win, you need to go with that player.
...
Again, I'm not sitting here hoping that Dak stinks up the place. I want him to play well. I'm talking about ONLY if he plays really terrible.

How many times to head coaches bench their starting franchise quarterback?

You’re predicting something that so rarely happens that it’s not with discussing.

 

[Captain-Crash]

So you could care less of the Cowboys win as long as Dak sucks. You’re not a fan, you’re a troll.

I care about the Cowboys, not dak. big difference, he's jason garrett. I bet you loved him too. Player lover

 

[Runwildboys]

Maybe if they're losing by 30 or something. But that's every coach and quarterback.

I think if the offense hasn't clicked at all because Dak's crapping the bed, by the middle of the 3rd quarter, and we're down by 14 or more, he could pull him...if it looks like Dak just can't get his head in the game.

you troll. you suppose to be a player lover over the team. sheesh trolls.

 

[Runwildboys]

What a loaded question lol. Dak will be the starter regardless of performance unless it’s somehow injury related

"Starter" yes. Dak would have to have a 4 or 5 game total meltdown to lose the starting position.

 

[LonnieElam]

No chance.

Dak makes too much money.

Cole Beasley told y’all how things go in Dallas.

You beat me to it. We all know contract size dictates playing time here. Ole' Jerry can't look stupid, y'all!

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

He has another one of these where we were losing 30-0 at the start of the 4th Q no reason why Jerry won't give the Green light to bench the DakDeer.....

when you celebrate another team beating the cowboys. then you are a Bash Dak over Dallas Cult.

pathetic. pathetic. pathetic.

you are such a loser. when cowboys win your are misrable. when cowboys lose, you celebrate. pathetic. pathetic pathetic

Did you get your calculator stuck there Newton? If you take off your shoes we can start counting Daks wins but you won’t get far

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Actually no, Cooper Rush led the team to 3-1 in a conservative offensive game plan, kind of like Dak did in 2016 with a dumbed down offense predicated on the OL and RG.

Copper Rush also threw close to 400 yards the year before against the Vikings and actually found Amari Cooper in the game, unlike Dak, when the game plan was the same.

He basically made every throw Dak did that game, though he clearly lacks the arm strength.

LOL. spinning of history. Rush led the 22nd ranked or worse offense in every statistical category....

against the vikings, he didn't find Cooper, he threw up a prayer, that hit the Vikings defender square in the hands, bounced up and into cooper while he was falling down.
also the total yardage was 325. is that close to 400? I mean really, you really are stretching the truth here.
by that standard, Dak has never had any game that wasn't close to 200 and has 80 games that are close to 300 yards passing or more
Dak has also had 5 close to 500 yard games.


what you did is revisionist history. changing facts to fit a narrative and making up lies.

pathetic. lazy spin.

btw, Garrett had a close to a 400 yard passing game. no one is crowning him anything.

when you celebrate a team losing with the starting QB and disappear when they win. you are not about the cowboys. you are about Bash Dak Over Dallas. you are a cult member.
