The defenses of the past unloaded upon quarterbacks and a part of their techniques was space in a pocket and pinpointed targets in a pass. The way around mounting and aggression type injuries, discouraged today, was scrambling. That scrambling ability has been exploded upon with the ability to develop advantages.

First, in the college levels.

Rich talent at doing just that talent has permeated the NFL today.

To excell today, coming out of the college level takes either a football 'player's' approach. To wit a passing strength and sophisticated running ability. Or it takes an intensely sophisticated knowledge to read play developments and strong down range accuracy. To wit, a 'passer first' ability, but knowledge of pocket.

Now, the player's career is somewhat limited by an individual injury history and how a team builds up a scheme to empower the quarterback towards his skill set.

The Cowboys are still locked into a recent history where a player was forced to comply. This with more of forcing him into a coach's mold to be used. Then he had to challenge the opponent.

Also, Jerry's team still forces a player to buy into the team and not just maximizing his pay opportunity. That was the way the NFL survived back to when Jerry entered the league. He learned well and provided well, even for Jimmy Johnson. He earned with a real team's achievements. His philosophies were strong as well as based upon valid ethics and morales.

With successes, Jerry attempted to pay the star players and maintain a valid sense of rewards. Then when Jimmy's personal knowledge of talent at the collegiate level was no longer up to date, he had to rely more upon outside sources for knowledge and directions involved.

Why were drafts so many rounds? They were extensive because evaluations were limited and more projections than composites of real alternatives for those players. Scouts were important in his team from that point forward. From backroom events they became a 'Vegas affair' with all then and there and challenging to team stability. Jerry and Jimmy both had to develop new skills not just based upon ego.

Jerry learned about their importance and development from that point forward.

Fast forward here, the Scouting department for the Dallas Cowboys has arrived at a high state for an NFL team now. It is functioning and producing in what now is becoming cap strengthening as well. This is an important aspect and what is bringing Jerry and his organization again to a pretty competitive picture, now.

Jerry fought for player's rights with the 1995 resolution for the NFL that allowed free agency...and money into a picture for players.

Money versus loyalties. That shortened productivity for many who started out flashing talent.

Previously not having come through those type management tendencies, beyond what one could afford, he stuck to star power in trying to win. That had too many pitfalls based upon experiences prior to teams struggling to be able to stay together.

As a wildcatter, his mold was set in high stakes gambling. Jimmy Johnson was similar, as his gambling was based more upon a four year projection coming from the college ranks. When his 'great wall,' made up of cast off linemen and unknown players from college, he struggled to keep up, also on his Head Coach side of his ledger.

Jimmy sold out to his own hero worship perspective and didn't learn the ethical element in sticking to the grind when player's good was the ultimate reward. He wouldn't swallow his pride and sold them out down the river for his own pride. That part was his, then.

Jerry then still attempted to win from season to season.

He attempted to provide needs for the team and support him as well as he could. That part was class, even if applications still didn't achieve fully as did some other teams.
He did achieve through the progression developed, but San Francisco and later New England passed him by on football application. They were better teams until Jerry's scouting department got up to date and good. Slowly, Jerry caught up.

Stephen holds a good in the black - cash flow team picture, but application has still been a step behind the smart side of business. Jerry lost a bit of his gambler's perspective here. He didn't keep up.

Right now, the picture is all upon what Dak Prescott does, this season. Sorry, but success is in his corner of the arena. Oh, he is talented and not the goat in application on achievements.

He has been removed from his own 'player' type quarterback abilities by injuries. Now, he should be well and allowed to, and developed towards, returning him to his real strength as to his type of a player.

He either succeeds being led by Mike McCarthy, or the team needs to make an immediate decision and cost effectiveness towards change at quarterback.

That will then be the biggest failure point on this team if he doesn't succeed here and now.

If he does succeed, then he should stay and the team signs all of the young top shelf stars. Then it continues to grow towards dominance in Jerry's and our team of Cowboys' way of life.

Yes, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have finally caught back up with a potential legendary opportunity once again.

The catch is still this: It is the NFL and football is a challenge full of trips and fall opportunities. Each team has to face adversity, overcome, and resume momentum in each game, over a season, and through the playoffs. A team has to overcome all and succeed.

That is where I come into my picture. I am a fan. I root for my team, and yea, have been elevated by their struggles as well as accomplishments as well. I won't allow my own pride stand in the way of supporting them also. Pride is great...when it is pushing to achieve.

All considered in the sacrifices.

GO COWBOYS! :starspin:

What a bunch of nonsense.

Until you learn that its not a QB's job to take teams to SB's or anywhere you will never truly understand football and QB play.

Don't worry, I always know that you aren't able to identify what was in fact stated.
Run on back and get a teacher help you read what was said...or just sign up for America's got Talent and try to fool them.

As to your attempt to instructional school someone, just give it up for lent...now.

The quarterback has to be able to lead his team to a winning score, no matter which quarterback or team is involved. Defensive scores alone won't win but a very small number of games and against totally floundering as well.

Just try to go to sleep and awaken later, or stand up, grab something not there, and talk discussive football.




Be your usual pain in the backside...no respect here. :popcorn:

What is their job then?

If you are correct, they are grossly overpaid. Need to give that money to folks whose bodies are actually taking a physical toll.

100% easy answer to be part of a team to do their job but also to expect the people around them to do their job and not have fans say that it was their fault they lost the game even though there was no run game no offensive line play not many skill players doing their jobs to expect a quarterback on their own without help to take their team to championship games it's a ridiculous expectation and I think that that's what some are really trying to convey up there I don't care how much money a quarterback makes it's still not on them alone to win a game by themselves you need a great team Roger Staubach and troy aikman never had to win games on their own they had some of the best coaching the best run games the best offensive lines the best defenses and some of the best special teams to be assembled during those Super Bowl runs

it only takes a couple players or a group on the field to have a bad day and lose a game and then everyone turns around and blames the quarterback... why?? because he seems to be the target because of how much money he makes and how much attention is paid to that position.

the fact is the best teams win games, that's why you can see the Rams able to win despite Matthew Stafford being Matthew Stafford, he never changed going from the lions to the Rams.. he had 20 turnovers he had two in the Super bowl and they still won! that's what you call a team game, I watched Troy Aikman be about his average as you can be as a bus driver in a Super Bowl and still win the game why because the defense got a score because they come down and run the ball down your throats and then yes at times you want the quarterback to make a few throws but just because they get sacked or fumble or throw an interception shouldn't be the reason you lose a game especially in the fans eyes because I've seen it happen and yet the better team steps up and wins anyway....

Team success is always the determining fact. Good post.

As to leadership, not just winning, the quarterback is responsible for leading the offense. An offense does most scoring in every game. Since the team is dependent on the offense to win the scoring advantage to win a game, his leadership is on the top level as such. He gets increased scrutiny.

After a while, that focus shifts to Coaching Staff for better or worse in descriptions.

Just football there.

Yes but the quarterback also only can work within the structure of the offense you know the play caller the play designer oh how is offensive line plays in front of them how the running backs produce and how skill players actually do their jobs I know they're under more scrutiny that's the problem I don't think they should be no one can say that Prescott's not a leader because they're losing games to San Francisco by one score he's still just one of 48 football players that are active on game day and that doesn't even include the coaching staff.. Of course that's the common theme and the thought process of fans at quarterbacks need to be more scrutinized but to me it doesn't make any sense because we can break down all these games and we find out that the team concept broke down we find all of it in each game.

You're asking a leader to overcome a mess around him it's just in my opinion poor expectations I mean I would love for that to happen but I've never seen some of our best leaders ever as Dallas Cowboys be expected to do that I mean I've already posted that on how many times that Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman touchdown interception ratios even in the big games and the playoffs were far worse than Romo or Prescott it's just a fact they made mistakes in big games as well their teams were just better they were able to overcome it they had better coaches better teams they got had more luck whatever it is that happens it happens... I don't see Prescott as a bad leader because he loses a game or has a couple of interceptions in a game he knows the mistakes he made and he is going to try to correct them but he can't correct all the other mistakes that's happening around him that is why we call it a team game there's too many moving parts there's too much that's going on in a football game both in the preparation leading up to the game the in game adjustments and each an individual on the field supposed to be doing their job it only takes a few cracks to lose a game.

I remember the 90s Cowboys when we played the 49ers and the Green Bay Packers at one point those were the classic games neither one of those teams could beat the Cowboys and Steve young and Brett farve could not get over the hump for a very long time until our team started breaking down and then they finally got over it it's the same thing we keep bringing up with Peyton Manning taking how many years didn't you do that I don't know maybe it was TRO that posted that graph that many quarterbacks took pastors 7th year all the way up to their 14th year before they broke through and finally won a big game..

Look I'm as hungry for an NFC championship game appearance and or a Super Bowl appearance as anybody else here but it's just gonna take better play by our team to win these games in the playoffs it just is we need to play better. Every opportunity needs to be seized no matter what mistakes are made or whatever before the clock runs out you have to be strong enough to overcome it like we've seen these other teams do...

You are seeing what I do as well...here, I'm not trying to be anti-anyone.

Leadership is required in football. Blame or an attaboy goes to the entire team. That is exactly what football is, team play against an opponent.

I want the leaders this team has at present. Good post.

All but the most clueless understand it's a team game. That isn't the question I'm asking. What is the Quarterback's role? Before answering consider a few things.

1) The position is considered the face of the franchise & leader of the team.
2) The position gets the most fame & fortune & is considered the most important in the sport
3) The position generally touches the ball on every offensive snap. Thereby their decisions (good or bad) and actions affect the team's success more so than any other position.
4) The teams that go deep in the playoffs almost always have one that is considered to be at or near the top of the class for that season.
5) Every team is more worried about getting that position correct than any other.
6) Vegas puts great emphasis on QB play when laying spreads

Sure, even an elite QB probably won't take a scrub team to the championship. But he gives the FO the opportunity to go all in around him. You build on your foundation and QB is the keystone for individual talent in football. By default, I don't see how anyone has more direct responsibility for team success. No one is going to pay a CEO to run a business and then say "well, he really wasn't the person most responsible" for the success or lack thereof.

Good post. Responsibility can't be delegated from the very top of a team, the Head Coach. That then flows down the leadership levels. Quarterback is next.

Exactly. In some other sports, the position doesn't matter as much. "The Man" is just the best player. Nobody was going to hold Steve Kerr responsible for those Bulls teams.

But in football, the QB has responsibilities and accountabilities baked into his job description. No escaping it.

agree with most of that and dak meets most of that Criteria, so did TR.

So here's my counterpoint to your last paragraph,

right ,hey an elite quarterback might not take a scrub team to a championship but we've seen elite teams take average quarterbacks to A championship.

we've seen Blake Bortles playing a AFC championship game, we've seen guys like Nick Foles win a Super Bowl ,along with a whole group of others that got in there like Garoppolo, Kaepernick, Brad Johnson and even I wouldn't call them all scrubs but Eli Manning led the league in interceptions three years etc has 2 SBS

there's a whole list I could go on and on, we all know who they are I mean even Jared Goff went to a Super Bowl, it apparently was an elite team because as soon as they brought over just a slightly better quarterback who didn't play well..by the way, I mean yes he had his moments but if you look at how that year played out 20 turnovers, 2 in the Super bowl , yet that elite team overcame those mistakes..Stafford gets win despite the TO issues.

The defenses of the past unloaded upon quarterbacks and a part of their techniques was space in a pocket and pinpointed targets in a pass. The way around mounting and aggression type injuries, discouraged today, was scrambling. That scrambling ability has been exploded upon with the ability to develop advantages.

First, in the college levels.

Rich talent at doing just that talent has permeated the NFL today.

To excell today, coming out of the college level takes either a football 'player's' approach. To wit a passing strength and sophisticated running ability. Or it takes an intensely sophisticated knowledge to read play developments and strong down range accuracy. To wit, a 'passer first' ability, but knowledge of pocket.

Now, the player's career is somewhat limited by an individual injury history and how a team builds up a scheme to empower the quarterback towards his skill set.

The Cowboys are still locked into a recent history where a player was forced to comply. This with more of forcing him into a coach's mold to be used. Then he had to challenge the opponent.

Also, Jerry's team still forces a player to buy into the team and not just maximizing his pay opportunity. That was the way the NFL survived back to when Jerry entered the league. He learned well and provided well, even for Jimmy Johnson. He earned with a real team's achievements. His philosophies were strong as well as based upon valid ethics and morales.

With successes, Jerry attempted to pay the star players and maintain a valid sense of rewards. Then when Jimmy's personal knowledge of talent at the collegiate level was no longer up to date, he had to rely more upon outside sources for knowledge and directions involved.

Why were drafts so many rounds? They were extensive because evaluations were limited and more projections than composites of real alternatives for those players. Scouts were important in his team from that point forward. From backroom events they became a 'Vegas affair' with all then and there and challenging to team stability. Jerry and Jimmy both had to develop new skills not just based upon ego.

Jerry learned about their importance and development from that point forward.

Fast forward here, the Scouting department for the Dallas Cowboys has arrived at a high state for an NFL team now. It is functioning and producing in what now is becoming cap strengthening as well. This is an important aspect and what is bringing Jerry and his organization again to a pretty competitive picture, now.

Jerry fought for player's rights with the 1995 resolution for the NFL that allowed free agency...and money into a picture for players.

Money versus loyalties. That shortened productivity for many who started out flashing talent.

Previously not having come through those type management tendencies, beyond what one could afford, he stuck to star power in trying to win. That had too many pitfalls based upon experiences prior to teams struggling to be able to stay together.

As a wildcatter, his mold was set in high stakes gambling. Jimmy Johnson was similar, as his gambling was based more upon a four year projection coming from the college ranks. When his 'great wall,' made up of cast off linemen and unknown players from college, he struggled to keep up, also on his Head Coach side of his ledger.

Jimmy sold out to his own hero worship perspective and didn't learn the ethical element in sticking to the grind when player's good was the ultimate reward. He wouldn't swallow his pride and sold them out down the river for his own pride. That part was his, then.

Jerry then still attempted to win from season to season.

He attempted to provide needs for the team and support him as well as he could. That part was class, even if applications still didn't achieve fully as did some other teams.
He did achieve through the progression developed, but San Francisco and later New England passed him by on football application. They were better teams until Jerry's scouting department got up to date and good. Slowly, Jerry caught up.

Stephen holds a good in the black - cash flow team picture, but application has still been a step behind the smart side of business. Jerry lost a bit of his gambler's perspective here. He didn't keep up.

Right now, the picture is all upon what Dak Prescott does, this season. Sorry, but success is in his corner of the arena. Oh, he is talented and not the goat in application on achievements.

He has been removed from his own 'player' type quarterback abilities by injuries. Now, he should be well and allowed to, and developed towards, returning him to his real strength as to his type of a player.

He either succeeds being led by Mike McCarthy, or the team needs to make an immediate decision and cost effectiveness towards change at quarterback.

That will then be the biggest failure point on this team if he doesn't succeed here and now.

If he does succeed, then he should stay and the team signs all of the young top shelf stars. Then it continues to grow towards dominance in Jerry's and our team of Cowboys' way of life.

Yes, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have finally caught back up with a potential legendary opportunity once again.

The catch is still this: It is the NFL and football is a challenge full of trips and fall opportunities. Each team has to face adversity, overcome, and resume momentum in each game, over a season, and through the playoffs. A team has to overcome all and succeed.

That is where I come into my picture. I am a fan. I root for my team, and yea, have been elevated by their struggles as well as accomplishments as well. I won't allow my own pride stand in the way of supporting them also. Pride is great...when it is pushing to achieve.

All considered in the sacrifices.

GO COWBOYS! :starspin:
