With the Cowboys roster and level of talent, that’s underachievement.Which Head Coach has the most 12-win seasons in the NFC right now?
Mike McCarthy
12-5 three years in a row
There is no evidence base to suggest Dak is anything other than not the guy.If ur QB looks like a deer in the headlights, that **** spreads to the rest of the team. Dak is a really good regular season QB.
How much of it is McCarthys fault? He isn't on the field not executing. But, he's the leader, and they got punched in the mouth, and proceeded to fold. That is the Hallmark of a poorly run team.
I would prefer to bring in a coach that can change the culture and try to keep the team together, but I'm just not sure Dak is ever gonna be the guy.
And still have no idea what the heck happened to this defense. Total collapse.
I think you guys with Dak are in a similar situation as the Niners were with Jimmy G. Perennial contenders, but as a fan base, you know he isn’t the guy to get you over the finish line.
When Lance came in, I was super excited, not because I thought he was the answer, but bc I knew Jimmy wasn’t, and the unknown was more exciting to me than the known.
Sucks you guys are stuck with him for one more year, but if I was the Cowboys, I’d take two fliers in the draft 3rd and 7th round and see if I could hit gold. The longer you wait to start the process to find the guy, the longer it will take. I’d also be very upfront with Dak; anything short of a SB and it’s his last here. Just my .02.
I defend Jerry a lot especially when people say he should fire himself as GM but this part is all true and IMO has always been his biggest issue. It's just not good for creating a culture or empowering your coaching staff. It's one of the major obstacles for someone like Belichick to consider taking the job if offered. Polar opposites in that Jerry's a blabbermouth and BB treats everything about his team like a state secret but more then that it's just not allowing the coach to show the players who is really in charge, because they know it's not the coach.Dallas is not a healthy environment for players and coaches and I will land the blame on the foot steps of Jerry Jones
Name one other owner after a Wildcard loss this weekend that is out talking to the media
Name one other owner that is addressing his team in the locker room and talking directly to the players all the time
-When you all have that solved and figured out and not a minute before, only then can you really have hopes to ascend and become a Champion again.
Jerry makes it all about him and he always has his head over the shoulders of his players and coaches, it limits what the environment a coach can create
Jerry is always whispering in their ears

No way on gods green earth Jerry is ever going to stop either, not unless he's physically unable. This is what he lives for, this is big weak spot as an owner and ran off Jimmy, he's not content winning, he wants all the spotliight on him.
Getting a trade partner would be a home run, imo.That anything short of the Super Bowl mentality might be wearing thin on DakI think you guys with Dak are in a similar situation as the Niners were with Jimmy G.

As I posted earlier, forget about Dallas moving on from Dak, it's the other way around IMHO
I think Prescott would like to get out of Dallas and have a fresh start elsewhere and I think he deserves a starting job in the NFL
You all make seem like he's a back up QB
Where was the running game and strong OL play this year
I bet 10 teams would take Dak tomorrow over what they wheel out each week so finding. a trade partner won't be hard
IMO of course
Agreed on Dak. I have not been shy about that.So many disappointments
Like many, ready to move on from Dak. Post June 1 cut, re-sign and trade, whatever can work.
LB room needs major help, shocking how thin that group is (I dont consider Parsons a LB, mostly plays on the line)
Need a banger at RB that can carry most of the load, Pollard isn't that guy.
Interior DL help
But we got one hell of a kicker
What would be a realistic plan to move on from Dak? Trade him, eat the money....then? No way Jerry goes Trey Lance at QB coming off 3 straight 12-win seasons. Maybe he doesn't see the issues as much as outsiders do, but it seems a reset/rebuild is just completely out of the question.Agreed on Dak. I have not been shy about that.So many disappointments

I remember a lot of people were really high on our 3rd round LB pick DeMarvion Overshown. We'll get him back in 2024. LVE is done, right?

$28m dead cap hit to trade a CB you just signed to a contract extension doesn't scream like a "smart move" to me, but I digress.What would be a realistic plan to move on from Dak?

IF we had any smarts, I would also move one of (Parsons/Diggs/Bland) and use the draft capital to move up in the draft to get a real QB.
Then reshape the D to play with big boy pads.
He's got a no trade clause in his contract, so we'd just have to eat the money. A post June 1 cut would limit the hit. I say give Trey a chance. He never really had a fair NFL shot. He played two games before his injury. Let MM coach him up thru the season.What would be a realistic plan to move on from Dak? Trade him, eat the money....then?

Seems risky. Cut Dak, take the cap hits, rely on Mike McCarthy to develop Trey Lance, the guy that the QB Whisperer Kyle Shanahan couldn't get anything out of? Its not as simple as "he got hurt/we don't know" They saw Trey day in day out and decided "He ain't it"He's got a no trade clause in his contract, so we'd just have to eat the money.

I’ve wondered what we could get in a trade involving Micah “podcast” Parsons. He’s going to cost ALOT of dollars to keepwe had any smarts, I would also move one of (Parsons/Diggs/Bland) and use the draft capital to move up in the draft to get a real QB.
Ya know, this might be unpopular, but for a guy who gets A LOT of run by commentators and such, he sure does seem to disappear pretty regularly in a lot of games. I dunno…is it more flash than substance? Or am I just missing it? I watched every snap this year and while he CAN BE a disruptive force, he just spends a lot of time disappearing. Lawrence, on the other hand, seems to show up on the regular….I’ve wondered what we could get in a trade involving Micah “podcast” Parsons.

Yeah. I’m thinking Jerry is going to pay him whatever.

I think he's a great player.Parsons is just a linebacker of the times. Too much coddling and not enough raw meat.
I think if he were born 20 years ago, we might’ve had something. Physically, he has all the tools, but he doesn’t have the edge.
That's pretty subjective, IMO. For example, I was thrilled with how 2023 ended.Need a new thread - 2023 stunk.
Hoping for a full scale coaching change.
Eh, the 32 points scored is pretty misleading, 16 of the 32 were total garbage time points late when the score was 48-16, and the first 7 they were lucky to get since Dak threw a pick that GB dropped on that drive and then the TD was scored on a play where Dallas should have been penalized for a false start (which ended the half).As someone upstream said, Dak looked like a dear in the headlights at the start of the game. I would say he choked, but that is tough to defend when the offense put 32 on the board.
McCarthy has his prints all over the offense, and that unit performed very well this year.
Jerry has said McCarty is returning, so it seems people were simply projecting their own desires to fire MM.
The cowpokes need a power RB, and upgrades in the middle of the oline and dline, and they will be fine.
Yeah some are gonna look at Daks stat line and it seems pretty good.

I think the whole team choked, starting with McCarthy, who clearly did a terrible job in getting the team prepared and ready to play.
