Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Thread -- Jerrah the Asshat Rides Again
I don't disagree with this. I think the hope/expectation is that he'll simply be solid this year -- nothing special but better than what he showed in NY or Carolina. His performance through the first four games had exceeded expectations.

All true. I also think Darnold may have been playing injured for most of the game. He took a big shot to the ribs late in the first quarter, which knocked him out of the game for a play. Prior to that he was 4-5 for 44 and looked sharp. After the hit, he was 10 for 26 with a pick the rest of the way, and just looked off at times.

The "years and years" you reference happened in New York and Carolina -- shitty teams with very little in the way of offensive weapons to complement him -- so your "evidence" is apples and oranges. Pssssst. Here's a clue for you.

I'm not hanging my hat on him any more than Minnesota is. I'm simply responding to the notion that he's about to crater simply on the basis of one game.

He's on a 1-year contract, so if you want to say that Minnesota is "hanging their hat" on him, that's certainly a . . . take. The plan all along was that Darnold would start in '24 and mentor McCarthy for a season, with the kid taking over the reins in '25. Darnold is basically a one-year rental. The hope was that Darnold would at least be solid and that he would have a better chance of succeeding in a system that offered him a great offensive mind as a head coach, major weapons at his disposal (Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson, Jones, etc.), and a decent O-line than he had in the the dumpster fires he found himself in during the first two stops of his career (NYJ and Carolina). So far that "decision" seems to be working pretty well. It's certainly possible that things might go south later this season. If that happens, the Vikings simply cut the cord and let him walk in free agency next offseason.

One game against a good defense. Also, he was actually playing really well until he took a heavy shot to the ribs. He came back after one play, but he really wasn't the same after that, so I wonder whether he was playing hurt.

Vandy's QB, Pavia, is a gritty, undersized kid who just knows how to play football. Not the biggest, not the fastest, and doesn't have the best arm, but he tends to win games. Been keeping an eye on him since he was at NMSU. Texas would be well-advised to focus efforts on keeping him contained when the Horns play Vandy.

Talk to brown water -- he's the one with all the KC12. Maybe he'll put us both on his list. What's your point?

Re: Arkie vs. Aggy: "This was almost a blowout." Give him some credit -- he's right. If Pig hadn't turned the ball over 3 times, Arkie would have blown A&M out.

Yeah, about the cheapest I see KC12 in these parts is $60, so $65 isn't bad at all. Plus, it's good. If you don't like the KC12, give 'em as gifts when the holidays come around.

I've read accounts that KK denied that this interaction with Toby Keith occurred. Would have been cool if it did occur, but it may not have.

Interesting that Ikard thinks Hill is the worst player in our front 7. I wonder if maybe the only game Ikard studied was the MSU game, which was Hill's worst game of the season by far, IMO. It also won't surprise me if PK unveils some blitz schemes that he was keeping in his hip pocket specifically for this game.

Agreed about the spot, and I basically said the same thing at the time in the game thread.

Actually, only three times. Wisner's knee was clearly down before the ball broke the plane on the first and goal play. But Arch's long run and his first QB sneak both should have been ruled TD's.
