Cowboys Sign QB Andy Dalton

[Smitty]

You kinda forgot Tony Banks.

Damn beat me to it

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Tony Banks

as @pd mentioned, never played in a regular season game.

 

[Sheik]

I’m all for the new white devil.

 

[ravidubey]

Now let Dak hold out and the team start 4-1. Let's really get some fireworks going.

Cue emotional Presser from Dak saying Andy’s earned the right to run this football team.

 

[ravidubey]

Dalton does have a pattern of lacking consistency but he's never had a receiving group like we have, not to mention the rb and ol

Or dome

 

[Sheik]

Imagine how much per year Dak would get if he held out the first month and Dalton goes 1-3.

What if Dalton goes 3-1 tho?

 

[ravidubey]

That would be Cam Newton level desperation and most would never forgive Dak.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Prescott holding out would be the worst thing he could do. That would just piss off Jones

 

[Smitty]

I’d say fine, sit out, I’ll continue on this trajectory and go 4-12. Guess what pot of gold is waiting at the end of that rainbow? A franchise QB at #1 overall.

 

[ravidubey]

If Newton is healthy, you could do a lot worse should Dak actually refuse to sign the Franchise tag contract.

Dallas wouldn’t need him to be Superman, just throw the football behind one of the better if not best lines in the game. Oh yeah, we’ve got some good WRs and RBs too. Newton threw for a what, 68% completion rate before his latest injury?

I think he could match that in Dallas.

I just don’t see how Dak would ever be stupid enough for it to get even close to that point.

 

[Genghis Khan]

 

[Smitty]

Newton can sit his way into irrelevance like that.

Of course he's already probably got generational wealth, so it doesn't matter that much.

 

[mcnuttz]

Yes, this would be a master stroke.

Full. Metal. Homer. You people would not recognize me.

Keep your suspenders on, pal!

Dak won't sit out. He will play under the franchise tag if he has to and then ask for 40+ mil next offseason. It's just a bad time to be doing this. New coaching staff, new systems, new players. We really need to get this settled so the team can hopefully compete for elite status next year. Sitting out all offseason is only going to hurt the team.

Been away from the board for a couple of days (yeah, I know you guys missed me) so haven't commented on this yet. This is without a doubt the best move of the offseason so far, up to and maybe even including the draft. This means they absolutely think they can win it all this year. That's the only reason you bring in a career starter as your backup. This was not a typical Jerry move. This was a move that came straight from McCarthy. I absolutely love this signing.

No to Cam Newton. He never could throw the ball consistently worth a damn. His one claim to fame was his durability and running ability. And that is fading fast.

People (looking at you) like to shit on Dak for his ability to throw the football. And he's Johnny Unitas compared to Newton on his best day.

 

[Tony D]

And they waived Cooper Rush now. Just love the no messing around since McCarthy has took over. He's seen enough film to know there's no use for him.

Yeah, Rush never would have beat out Dalton and it would have been really difficult to see what the rookie QB can do with only so many snaps in preseason to go around. I'd like to see if the rookie is at least worth keeping around as a third QB or not. You can't really do that with him sitting fourth on the QB depth chart.

Plus no reason to pay Cooper decent money, might as well let him fly now.
