I would rather see him go out to someone like Dak rather than busts like Drew Henson or Chad Hutchison.

I would too. Them bum ass dudes......failed at their #1 sport and ran to football and we signed them.
That's when Jerry was on that bullshit reaching like a motherfucka.
Desperate man. I'm so happy we lucked into Dak because I wasn't down for life after Romo. Not if it was going to be like life after Aikman. Fuck that. That's like my heyday too. I don't even remember the Troy, Emmitt in their prime years.
I remember the Anthony Wright's, Clint Stoerner's, Chad Hutchinson's, Ryan Leaf's and shit. That's my hey day.......smh.
Ive gotta say, as much as it pains me the Cowboys are definitely the class of the division. Hopefully Jerry will let Dak play but with the way you are playing I really dont see anybody in the NFC East fucking with yall. Offensive line and Elliot, that's ridiculous! Jerry did a helluva job putting together that team. As much as I want to wrap for my Eagles, and I think Wentz is the truth, no way we compete with the Cowboys with the damn receivers we have! I hate the damn Cowboys, but I'm a realist, you guys are impressive right now! Barring injuries your gonna be a problem for a lot of teams!
Who is the more valuable Cowboys rookie, Dak Prescott or Ezekiel Elliott?
After Ezekiel Elliott broke a 60-yard touchdown run to effectively turn the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals into a blowout win, the television cameras showed owner Jerry Jones confidently pumping his fist.
Give Jones his moment. His 2016 draft looks like a huge winner.
Elliott and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott might be the top two candidates for NFL offensive rookie of the year through five weeks, although Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz would argue. What matters more than the race for an individual award, the Cowboys are 4-1 despite some key injuries eating at their offense. Without Dez Bryant, guard La’el Collins or quarterback Tony Romo, the Cowboys won 28-14, blasting a Bengals team that has been to the playoffs five straight years. The Cowboys’ rookie duo led the way. Prescott completed 18-of-24 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions (and a rushing score). Elliott rushed for 134 yards with two touchdowns on 15 carries. He also added 37 yards on three catches.
The two are making history. According to the NFL, the Cowboys are the first team in NFL history to have a rookie quarterback with at least 1,000 passing yards and a rookie running back with at least 500 rushing yards through the first five games of a season.
Here’s a fun exercise: If the Cowboys had to pick just one of their star rookies, NFL rushing leader Elliott or precocious quarterback Prescott, who would they choose? Who is more valuable?
Elliott has been remarkably productive early in his career. He had 140 and 138 rushing yards in his two games prior to Sunday. He was great again on Sunday, even before his long touchdown run put the Cowboys up 28-0 early in the third quarter. Elliott is the first Cowboys running back to have three straight 100-yard games as a rookie, according to the Associated Press, and this is the same Cowboys team that once employed Hall of Famers Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith. He has also scored in four of five career games.
Consider this: Dorsett holds the Cowboys rookie record for rushing yards, with 1,007. Elliott is more than halfway to that mark after five games. Eric Dickerson had a remarkable 1,808 rushing yards as a rookie, and that’s the NFL record. Elliott might have a shot at breaking it. He has 546 yards this season, a pace for 1,747 yards over 16 games.
Yet, Elliott might not be the most valuable Cowboys rookie. Prescott has been outstanding at the most important position on the field. He was a late fourth-round pick, and very few late-round picks at quarterback have played well in their rookie year. Prescott has surpassed any reasonable expectation for him this season, and there’s no sign that defenses are on the verge of figuring out how to beat him.
The most impressive thing about Prescott is how he has mostly avoided any key mistakes. He has 155 NFL passes without an interception. Tom Brady threw 162 straight passes without an interception to start his career, and that’s an NFL record. Brady attempted only three passes as a rookie, so Prescott already holds the NFL rookie record for passes without an interception at the start of his career (Wentz’s streak was snapped at 134 on Sunday). Prescott has been so good that there’s a legitimate question of what the Cowboys should do when Tony Romo – who has the third-best passer rating in NFL history – is ready to return from injury.
Prescott was sharp again against the Bengals, despite not having Bryant to throw to. With a little more than two minutes left, after the Bengals had cut the lead to 28-14, Prescott calmly delivered a perfect pass on third-and-7 to Terrance Williams to keep that drive alive. It has not been unusual for Prescott to look good in pressure moments. He has looked remarkably poised all the way back to the preseason, playing like he has been in the NFL for many years. He also has the physical tools to make all the throws, or make a play with his legs when that opportunity presents itself. He had a 5-yard touchdown run against the Bengals. There isn’t a clear flaw in his game.
So who is the more valuable rookie for the Cowboys? Prescott or Elliott? The Cowboys are happy they don’t have have to choose. That combination should form the foundation of Dallas’ offense for years to come.

Zeke's offensive line has been hurt though. Tyron Smith and Collins have been hurt with Doug Free hobbled. Murray was just getting by. I never understood why 1k was such a great feat anyway. You average 63 yards a carry and you get 1,000 yards. Zeke not putting no 63 yards a carry and if he keeps this up he's going to have 1k yards by week 12.
Without Dak we are losing these games
Zeke would ball regardless you see what McFadden did last year and Zeke is younger and better
Difference is we were still losing despite the rushing yards
You need a quarterback to win period

Both... Finally got homie back off suspension...
That's right. Lawrence was in there.. When do McClain and Gregory get back?
I can't either. Before the game they liked both sides of the ball. Everyone had us losing because Dalton was suppose to carve us up.
I think what happened though and Phill Simms eluded to it is that when the Cowboys score first and gashing you with the run it's essentially game over. Bengals became pass first and abandoned the run and made it easy to defend them. I'm hoping Davis getting more comfortable and Lawrence coming back is a sign of things to come.
Dak is why this thing is working. We hit like muthafucka with that pick, fucking luck. I'll take it and he better stay the starter the rest of the year.
Bengals are 2-3, they're not very good right now. They're the kind of team that could get hot late and make a run because they can play defense outside when the weather changes. We beat them last time we played them in Cincy in a shocker, we passed this test...on to Green Bay!
Them niggas are done for the year and I think Rolando is cut. I think the reason he hasn't been was salary cap implications. Gregory can come back the last two games of the season but I don't know if they just say see you next season.
Bengals record sucks but those two losses were against great teams. They are as good as we are or at least I thought we were. We might be better than I thought. This is 2014 all over again. Offense as good and the games are slower but the same feel.
Shit I was expecting Dalton and their #1 receiver to carve us open too.. The way our defense been playing smh..
Glad it didn't happen that way tho.
Well I'll take whatever we can get. Shaky start defensively.
You forgot Quincy Carter
Well I thought Quincy was alright personally. In hindsight he wasn't shit but he got us in the playoffs. He got fucked over in his development.
Pure luck and I ain't mad about it
About damn time
Cuz Dak was supposed to be a "project" and was like the 4th or 5th QB on the Cowboys board
Jerry was so sick he didn't get Lynch and see how he did yesterday?
Dak fell into our laps
Wasn't even our first 4th rounder Hell
I've had theories on this. Luck. Yeah.
But something wasn't right with this shit.
How after all these months how many qb's have you seen linked to us? The only one was Dak. When the DUI and shit came out.....they interviewed him...AGAIN. No other team did. There was links to Wentz early when he was projected to be a 2nd round pick but that was about it.
My theory was that the Cowboys were going to fuck their draft up and do like how the Deadskins did that on year. They were going to take two quarterbacks in this draft. If Wentz would've fell to them they would've they would've taken him and they would've taken Dak with that 2nd 4th rounder since they considered a luxury anyway.
Then the Rams and Titans trade into the top 2 picks and that fucks everything up. Next guy on their board was Paxton Lynch. Stephen is like fuck that we aren't trading all that bullshit for him. So they then still take Dak but wait until next year to address the qb and let Dak be the backup this year.
Dak was always going to be a Cowboy. They didn't interview him all them times for no reason. They just didn't know he would be this good this fast or if it all. They probably thought he was Stephen McGee.
Then that whole shit Jerry does...."Damn...I wish we should've got Lynch...."...."Damn....I wish we would've taken Johnny Football...".
Is Jerry this stupid or does he be trying to hype these guys up? Is this like some reverse psychology shit? Zach Martin proving his worth FIRST WEEK of the season and proved to be one of the best guards in his rookie year and he was talking shit about Johnny.
Fucking trash!! Dak saving their asses right now. That dude is balling
I think they always liked Dak but he is way better than they thought he would be coming in they didn't value him like that
Stephen McGee is a good comparison they probably thought about as much about Dak as they did him
They were still sniffing around for veterans to backup Romo before he got hurt and Dak took the job
Garbage!
Yep Dak making everyone look like geniuses right now with his mature play
Funny how when Dez got hurt he wasn't tripping at all saying he gonna keep passing to the open man and nothing will change and he has been doing just that
That's a real quarterback right there
Shit, he wasn't going to Dez in week 1...he's use to it
Cuz Dez doesn't always get separation
Dak is looking for open receivers
Romo knows sometimes you just throw it to Dez even when he doesn't look open he actually is
Oh naw they had no idea. They thought he was non threat to Romo. And no one talks about if Moore don't get hurt Dak is a backup........media let's them off the hook too. I was reminded when I seen him on the sideline yesterday.
The new niggaz plus Jack Crawford and Terrell McClain played a big part at getting at Dalton.Seems like they started to get going right in time as Dlaw made his debut who was on Daltons ass on a lot of plays.
Boy playing with a chip on his shoulder.
Trade bryant and romo for some defensive line
Dont trade Dez... Keep doing it how yall been doing it... Build through the draft... You see what spending money on pass rushers got my Giants... Nothing... Olivier Vernon has been ass so far.... If Jerry is smart... He'll wait and try to move up for Miles Jarrett or try to target Allen out of Bama... In any event, dont let go of Bryant just yet... He's too good.
You motherfuckers! Just found out Dak is going to be playing against us week 8.... Was hoping Romo was which didnt matter becase Zeke would have ran us to death but AT LEAST we had the hopes of Romo doing dumb shit.... DAMNNIT!!!
