Will McCarthy have the fortitude to pull Dak if necessary?

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.

Jerry is calling that, and it will never happen this season.

IMO answer is no , mike would have to get that cleared with jerry 1st, and that is hard to do during a game, so it would happen after a game.
Even then I dont think jerry would approve of dak being pulled, due to the money jerry pays hi,, and jerry has endorsed dak.

This doesn’t show you want the team to win and for only Dak to suck.

I guess you didn't see the lol. smh... stalk me better bro.

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

I'd rather ridicule him. LOL

He's the weakest link on the whole team. We are now down to hoping the team carries dak. wow.. just wow, what does that say about him and his fans.

Cooper Rush lead Dallas to a bottom third offense.

Dak lead Dallas to a top 5 offense.

There’s no chance of Rush starting a game over a healthy Dak.

Thank God someone said this. Rush was awful as a starter last year. Had one good game and got worse every week. By the time he was done he was absolutely terrible. DCs needed a week to figure him out. He is not a viable option to replace Dak.

I expect him to have a typical Dak kind of season.
4-5 games he'll look good.
3-4 game he'll look like Stephen McGee.
And 8-9 games he'll look average.

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.

Jerry will never admit he was wrong about Dak.

If the Cowboys take one step back this season, McCarthy is likely gone. He’s staying with the QB that gives him the best chance to win and it’s not Cooper Rush.

DC nation all knows this is the season for DP to put up or shut up. Now weather the GM will pull the trigger if he sucks. IMO if DP does suck (hope not) I think Coop could be a decent game manager (see Trent Dilfer season).
I think the defense will be good enough to carry this team to the SB and win barring injuries. Anyway, that's my hopes for the 2023 season and y'all come at me. With our current defense we do not need the QB to dictate our season. Me....I have seen enough of DP to know he is not the guy to win the SB for us (see Roger, Troy) we just knew we were going to win. DP is great statically in the regular season but until he has some kid of confidence to not screw up when it matters the most, I just do not see us getting to or winning the SB with DP. Dude strikes fear in no one. Go Boys!!!!

I’m hoping Dak will have a good or great season
That’s our only hope
Rush is not a long term starter

Neither is Dak hence the problem......................
I could have had 2 playoff wins with the rosters that Prescott has had around him the past 7 seasons.
