Commented repeatedly here the team is stuck with DP. That idiotic contract is the albatross around the Cowboys neck. FO panicked last minute, then overpaid and it puts any attempt to get better at the QB position on hold probably till 2024 as lonew28 points out. Bad news for fans!

The article surprisingly doesn't give much credit at all to CR, who played pretty well against a Super Bowl team. "Bengals defense isn't the Bucs defense". "The run game looked stout, taking pressure off CR". "Eli Apple". Why the attempt to minimize a good performance by a QB that led the team to victory. Was he great, no. Was he good enough, yes. Was he clutch enough to drive down for the winning FG, yes. That's all that matters.

Conversely, in the Bucs game, "their defense showed up and Cowboy offense didn't". Wait a minute, who is leading that offense? When I look at the two games, IMO there was a pretty big difference in the performances of the QBs, one resulting in a pretty pathetic loss, the other in a good win.

That all said, is CR a long term solution for this team, probably not, especially with the aforementioned contract problem. But hopefully he can string some wins together and give some competition to DP, because the FO never really made a legitimate attempt at that.
