Football season is here!!!

Not terribly unlikely for the Cowboys to beat the Eagles.  It was a division game, and playing a team twice a year, sometimes things go that way.

I love my Cowboys. However, I’m starting to lose faith in them across the board. Yeah, Cowboys beat the Eagles but I don’t want to hang that win on any hope. 

As long as Dak is still a Cowboys and as long as Jones is still the GM, my faith in them reaching the SB again in my life time is dwindling.

GO…ah never mind!!

Yeah i think that Dak is a large part of the problem tbh. I have always thought he is massively overrated. Was interesting that one of the studio guys came out and said that on the UK NFL coverage the other day (he was a former Giant DL) and the other posts really had a go at him for it, talking about how great Dak is. I've never seen it tbh. He is decent but not a top tier QB

The problem is, there are only so many "tip tier" QBs out there, and they're all signed.  Dak is good enough to lead a franchise for 10+ years, which he is doing.  If you can get a QB like that, then you have to and you have to run with him.  I think the ownership is more of the problem than the QB.  Worse QBs than Dak have won championships.

All true but usually when it is one of the teams winning with a worse QB (eg some of the Ravens teams, the Gruden Bucs) the gameplan relies on something else such as a dominant running game and/or defence. For the Cowboys they seem to place a lot on his shoulders and he, in my view, isn't good enough to deal with the required level of play to win a championship in that structure. I do agree that if he had been on the 49ers superbowl team etc. then yeah he might have won!
