Kirk cousins wasn't sacked on 51 pass attempts...

Cousins (like Andy Dalton) are quick release guys in west coast offenses.  Cam Newton is one of the slower decision makers in the NFL, and that comes as part of how he feels comfortable (He likes to read the defense and throw when he sees a guy getting open) but also is greatly dependent on the scheme which in the Coryell which has a lot of down field routes which take time to develop...basically what I'm saying is that our dog poo O-Line will never suffice with the QB we have and the system we run.  The more I think about it, the system that Shula is trying to force feed down our throat only works if you have no weaknesses 1 through 11 in our offensive personnel.  THIS is what the difference is between Shula and McDermott, McDermott can scheme around weaknesses like our DE's, Safeties, and Corners (somehow, he's making this defensive unit decent with only a few playmakers), but Shula has absolutely no ability to scheme around a poor o-line, even with the reigning league MVP, a pro bowl RB, and a pro bowl Tight End.

For those of us who missed the game. Could you be more specific? You make it sound like he had a bad game, yet he didn't get sacked. I confuse.

Poor throws at critical moments mostly. He is not a good QB.

Cowboys defense is bad. It will keep them from going all the way. Their pash rush is worse than ours was at the beginning of the year 

Yeah, I was about to say.  Their front four is atrocious.  If somehow they get in the Playoffs and play a defense on fire they'll lose.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
