With Jason Garrett and Dalton I can't imagine that team winning more than 4 games. Even in a shit division. Dak is top 10. I don't even know if Dalton is top 20. This is like chiefs fans getting hyped up over ditching Alex Smith because of Damon Huard. I get the limitations with Dak. But if they're trying to move on from him Dalton ain't the answer.

This is most surprising.

Smart move, motivation and trade bait.

Jason Garrett?

Responding to the comment was that Dalton could have done better than 8-8 last year.

That team is loaded with talent. Both sides of the football. Yet, in that crummy division they can only muster 8 wins. Doesn't some of that fall back on the Quarterback? This guys supposedly "top 10" in the league right?

I don't know that Dalton could of done any better. But could he of done much worse? Who said Dalton wins only 4 games? Come on! You could hand the ball to Zek every down and win 4. Look at that division. Dak makes 30 mill, Dalton makes 3. And I just can't see much difference between the two as far as wins and loses go. I think Jerry and the Cowboys know this and that's why everybody on that team got new contracts and Dak hasn't. He wants to be paid like he's the best and he's mediocre. Just like Dalton

People forget Dalton is a skilled QB who suffered by having an idiot head Coach and burfict lol Dallas just got a notch better with Dalton

Who am I kidding? They’re gonna fail again great move Jerry!

Matt Moore is better.

Great move by Dallas. Gives them a better backup to run the second team and step in if Prescott gets injured, and puts pressure on Prescott to sign and produce. I wish the Patriots had made an effort to sign Dalton, now we're truly ****ed unless they plan on picking up Cam Newton.

You guys will figure out a way to get Aaron Rodgers, I bet. If not, Cam Newton. Maybe they'll go full Matt Cassell though with Stidham.

We're spoiled by how good our qb is. Dalton is mediocre... At best. The cowboys are hesitant to sign Dak because he wants elite qb money but he's only just "good" with still some upside to be very good. hes much better than mediocre. This is clearly a move to pressure Dak to bring his price down, not replace him. Now if you're talking about tanking the team for Trevor Lawrence or if the cowboys took a chance at Jordan love... OK, now we're talking about real solutions. Until then this is basically like selling the Chiefs on replacing Alex Smith with Damon Huard.

He is basically damon Huard. Sure with an elite supporting offensive cast he can put up Alex Smith like numbers. But good luck winning any big games and expect a ton of really bad games in between. He's an outstanding backup and not a bad option for a team looking for a 1-2 year stopgap starter. He's not top 10. Dak is.

You may be right. Spending 7M to save 25M or something.

I look for Dalton to take Dak's job by week 6, also I wouldn't be at all shocked if Dalton looked fantastic behind that O-Line with those weapons. Could see Andy making a PO run with Dallas, he's better than most people give him credit for.
