I think he's 100% beat down from this circus, and he's tired of it all being on him ALL. THE. TIME. The offense is also so bad right now, and if Dak isn't superman on every play they go three and out.

I agree with this. When is the last time it felt like Dallas consistently schemed guys open? We've been running the same gosh darn fake hand off / roll out throw to the TE play for 10 F'N years now and it worked well for exactly 1 year (when Dak and Zeke were rookies).
You either have to have next level coaching or a next level GM in the NFL if you want to win.... we've had neither since Jerry fired Jimmy (and the few years with Parcells)!

I think if Parcells stayed they win a title in the next 2 seasons. He took a disaster from Campo, patched together a winning team with old recycled dog crap at QB, and then left it in really good shape with an emerging young franchise QB. I think he mostly got tired of the wrestling matches with Jerry, specifically over TO at the end. Stay long enough for Romo to develop a bit more, could have been great. Those next 3 years may have been the most talented they've been in the past 30, but Wade couldn't capitalize at the highest level and it ultimately fizzled.
We'll never ever know, obviously, but they probably win at least 1 Superbowl and probably go to the NFC title every year from 07-09.

I mean, they scored 30 points again and still lost. The offense isn't at fault, but they have to be perfect and completely put it away to win games. The offense had chances to put it out of reach, but going up 2 scores with 10 mins left should be fine, let alone 10 points at 2:30 left.
They did score 30 but should have been up 28-3 with how the defense was playing. They also had both ceedee and pickens on the sideline several times down the stretch. Not bringing in extra blockers in OT. Cards coached circles around schotty.
At home the cowboys franchise is 202-1-1 when leading by 14 in the 4th quarter. The loss and the tie both come under schotty. Yesterday and last years green bay game.

This is the saddest thing I've ever read.

My earlier post was not defending schottenheimer at all (I refuse to call him by his self proclaimed ridiculous name). He's the worst HC in the NFL, probably by far. He's a clown who has no business being a HC, esp in the NFL. He's been a nepo baby coach in the NFL for 27 years and never sniffed a HC position until the cowboys somehow gave him a shot. This season, and yesterday, are all on him.
I was simply defending Dak, to a point, bc what he and the offense did should've been plenty. Somehow people will still blame Dak, but he's probably over this **** as much as we are.
Yeah dak isn't playing all world, but you are right his play is way down the list of issues they have right now. It really sucks the jets get the cowboys pick this year
Yeah no one is blaming Dak here I don't think. We're just saying that he looks worn out right now because the weight of this ****-show franchise is completely on him. He has no help from the coaching staff. It's either him hitting CD or Pickens all the way down the field or a three and out. He has to be almost perfect one every snap.

For sure. I wasn't saying anything on this thread, recently, is blaming Dak. I don't watch the ESPN morning shows, but I have no doubt those were blaming him somehow. He clearly watches TV and reads Twitter, which is on him, so he sees people blaming him.

Unfortunately for him, he was playing all world the first few weeks, and they were still losing. If the offense scores 30 points against the Cardinals then it should be enough. That's the world he lives in right now.
Dak and Romo probably have a standing call on Tuesday nights to discuss what it feels like to carry this football team on your back every year, when you could be playing in Super Bowls for a well run team.
Is Dak hurt? Some of passes this year just look off. Tge zip isn't there
I think it has more to do with the fact that he's being blitzed on every single snap, and we can't do anything about it. So he's rushed, throwing off platform and so on.

"Schotty" begs to differ:
Jerry should trade Dak to a contender so he has a shot at getting a ring.
stay low boys. keep those feet moving. go be perfect.

Yeah I'm tired of all of the organization guys like Garrett and the system guys like Schotty. It is such a circus to play for the Cowboys with Jerry's shadow and the media intensity that it takes a Cult of Personality type like Jimmy and Parcells to break through the noise with the players. I'm not sure who that guy would be in today's NFL but to win in Dallas we need someone that isn't afraid to set a fire under everyone and everything.
A younger Nick Saban in his prime could probably do it.
I'm to the point that I don't think it will improve until the team is sold. We are the Raiders under Al Davis at this point
God loves you so much He'll meet you where you are. He also loves you too much to allow to stay where you are.
We sing Hallelujah! The Lamb has overcome!
We sing Hallelujah! The Lamb has overcome!
Al Davis died in 2011. The Raiders have had a winning record twice since then. They got left to a nitwit and Jerry's nitwit is Stephen. We are a long way from being out of this
In many ways Stephen is worse than Jerry.
I just don't know what the Cowboys do from here. I really don't know. They are in such a rough way from a what this team needs perspective and the resources to get there. On top of it all looms Dak only having two years on his contract left, and realistically how can you possibly fix this thing in one offseason. That would require you hiring the absolute best coach possible, nailing every single draft pick and spending a ton in free agency. I just don't know.

I'd give strong consideration to trading Pickens and Dak, honestly…
Pickens is as good as gone imo. Send him to KC for a 2nd and call it a day. I also would seriously entertain trading Dak, but unfortunately Jerry will positively, absolutely, never do that. On top of that Dak's contract is essentially untradeable until 2028. His dead cap hit is a cool 176 this year, and 131.4 next year. I deem that basically untradeable.

I don't know what kind of value you could get, but as bad as this seems, I think this is the answer. Jerry won't do it though because he knows he won't live long enough to see the rebuild.
Bears 34 - Seattle 17
Jerry didn't even try to interview Ben Johnson.

Trade Dak to the Vikings.
Trade Pickens to (I would say Steelers but thinking that is a no go, maybe Patriots or 49ers).
No idea what the trade value would be and am suspicious Dak's contract would work for the Vikings cap.
I don't think some of you understand the QB wilderness we could be in for years if we traded Dak.

I think we understand we just see the writing on the wall and would rather get something for Dak instead of nothing.

The wilderness like the Seahawks after they got rid of Wilson. Oh yeah they spent QB budget on the best defense in the game.
The wilderness like the Broncos they are like Seattle with less weapons.
The wilderness like the Vikings. 6-2
The wilderness like the Lions. They traded Matthew Stafford and got Goff. How many cowboy seasons with Dak have been better than lion seasons with Goff?
What is the hope for next year? Pickens will be gone or eat up any cap space to improve the defense. Ferguson is wasted cap. Dallas will need a RB, javontae cant stay healthy and good. He is average with a great oline anyways.
I think we all know we'll be in the wilderness without Dak. But he's 34 years old, has two full years on his contract left and then will be 36. Do we REALLY want to extend Dak for more than two-years after his 36 year old season? I don't really but I may be wrong. So the point is, we are approaching a pretty serious decision that needs to be whether we like it or not.
I'm not a seller yet. I find a new staff and turn it over to them. 2 years and then fire sale. It's a gamble, but I think selling now keeps you in mediocre purgatory for years.
This quote is fake, right? Please?
Jerry Jones on the narrative that he won’t pay top money for a head coach.
— Joseph Hoyt (@JoeJHoyt) November 3, 2026
“There’s zero correlation between how much you pay a coach or how many coaches you have, to winning. There’s no correlation. That’s a random sample of years and all 32 teams involved, so put that in your…
Do you watch much Aggie football? he may have a point.
