What should Dallas do at QB?

[Dallas94Ware]

My vote? Mike White in NYJ showed himself to be a decent and / or capable bus driver. If Lamb will play well, the D plays well, and ths running game is sharp, White could manage a couple wins until Dak returns.

Ride it out with Rush/Grier. They dealt themselves this hand. Trading draft capital or a player isn’t making anything any better.

[textaz03]

I’d put Dak on permanent IR and ride the season out with Rush and Will Grier and DeNucci. 
 

Definitely do not trade for any QB!! Draft capital will be needed for Oline talent and WR talent!! 

[Northland]

Ride it out.  Keep your draft picks.  I don't know if any QB comes in and does well given the state of the offense. 

[Texas_OutLaw7]

Hand the keys to Grier. 

[WheatieMan]

DiNucci is the answer... to go 0-8. 

Rush is also the answer... to rush to the top of the draft.

We ****ed. Be thankful you are getting time back to focus on other things besides stupid ballgames.

If the first replacement QB shines in Dak's absence, what do the Cowboys do when he is healthy enough to return?

You play your franchise quarterback when he is healthy. Theres no controversy to be had here

If you guys can get a decent stop gap guy I see no reason to mail in the season. You should be able to get Jimmy G, or maybe Andy Dalton for a reasonable deal I reckon. 

[Danger]

Bridgewater, Foles, Colt McCoy, Case Keenum, Sam Darnold, Chad Henne

 

ONE of them, has to be a viable option that's better than Cooper Tush.

I think Dalton makes the most sense if we’re gonna deal for someone. Could even be a precursor to trading for Payton in the offseason, a little quid pro quo

I would probably rather just tank though

I dunno. Prescott looked horrible all game.

Injury or not, he looked like a deer in headlights.

A lot of hypothetical ish to play with. 

But let's start with facts:

1. It IS only game one. Dak WILL be back at some point, guessing week 8.

2. There are 17 games. If we can go 3-4, realistically, by the 8th game we may have a shot to make a legit run. We have some weak teams in there. Win 4 or 5 and 8-4 probably puts us in a WC contention.

3. O line MUST improve or we got nothing. No matter who is QB.

4. Defense plays well enough to keep us in games. Not every opposing QB is Tom Brady. With that said, a stout D, a power running game and a little luck, we could win 3 games out of the next 6.

So, again I dunno, but after my temper tantrum, this is what I arrived at.

On the other hand, if we end up going 1-7, it's time to start thinking about cutting or trading:

Zeke, Dak, DeMarcus, and a host of players.

Stock pike picks, take the cap hit for 1 year, because they would need to draft a QB anyway, groom him for a season, buold around:

T Smith, Parsons, Diggs, Williams, Lamb

I mean, you got some solid players there.

Get a HC that is with the times, build around our youth, look to be in contention in 2 to 3 years, again, knowing next year is a wash, and...

Ohhhhhh ****! I did it again. I caught myself daydreaming about what it would be like if we had an owner that knew how to turn it around.

Damn it!

Garoppolo isn't going to solve your issues at receiver. He isn't going to solve your patchwork OL. He isn't going to solve your offensive coordinator who should probably not have a job in the NFL at this point. 

Ride it out with Rush and hope for the best. 

[pf9]

If Cooper Rush continues to do well in Dak's absence, he could feel very slighted when Dak returns to the field. This could make Rush a trade candidate.
