Who's better, Dak Prescott or Carson Wentz?

Grant: We made this big case for Dak last year. Wentz obviously has come a long, long way in a very short time. Is he the better quarterback than Dak Prescott right now?

Moore: Last year Dak was better and so he came a long way in no period of time. Dak Prescott's playing very good football this year but what you see is Jared Goff [and] Carson Wentz showing dramatic improvement from their rookie years.

Are they better than Dak Prescott at the moment? Certainly Carson Wentz's numbers are better at the moment. I think he's leading the league in touchdown passes. I think there are more elements to Carson Wentz's game: He throws the deep ball better, he can hurt you that way a little bit more than Dak can. While he's not as good of a runner as Dak Prescott, he's still a very elusive guy and you saw that last night when there was no way he should have gotten out of that pile and makes that play. There are very few quarterbacks in the league who can do that.

At the moment, I think Carson Wentz is playing better than Dak Prescott and that's a pretty significant statement because I think Dak Prescott is playing very good football.

Grant: I don't think I see a lot of ability for the Cowboys to catch the Eagles. The Eagles are the No. 1 rushing defense in the league. The Cowboys have got to go play them twice and their strength on defense shuts the Cowboys' strength down.

What the Cowboys' win over 49ers means

Sherrington: Does this mean the Cowboys are back or do we attribute this to the 0-7 San Francisco 49ers?

Moore: This was a winless team. The way Dallas won and how they went about doing it I don't think you can dismiss. You've seen signs of them getting back to the identity they had last season at 13-3....

I do think it was a positive. They desperately needed a confidence boost like they got from the size of this win coming off losing two games at home when they scored 30 points or more. Offensively I think you should still feel very good about this team. Defensively, it's to be determined.

Moore: You look at the template of last year when they had so much success offensively - when Dak Prescott's in the range of 22 to 28 attempts, that's the optimum range. By and large they haven't been able to do that this season.

In the two previous games against the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay, they jumped out to 11- and 14-point leads in those games in the first half and just let it get away by giving up big plays defensively early in the third quarter and not responding offensively. It wasn't totally a defensive meltdown how they got to this point; it was a team thing.

Suddenly an area you had no questions on you have big questions on with Dan Bailey's groin injury. He's going to miss a game or two and I think there's a good chance he'll miss more than that here and this is a crucial four-game stretch coming up for the Cowboys. That's an area where they felt they had an edge going into every single game; and now I don't know that you can check that box.

Moore: The key in the four-game stretch is that there are two division games. ... If they don't beat Washington and beat Philadelphia and win these two division games over the next four games, even though it's still early they've essentially put themselves in position of abdicating the NFC East title and playing for a wildcard berth. And when you do that that early, a lot of other variables come into play and a lot of other things start working against you. I think it's imperative they win these division games.

Last year was an anomaly in a lot of ways: 13-3... but they split their division games and wound up going 3-3 in the division which

On losing Dan Bailey for at least a couple weeks

Sherrington: This changes the mindset of the offense. Now before, you get in range, OK we're kicking a field goal. It changes your philosophy: We're not going to kick here. ... Now we're going to have to go for it here because we're not kicking.

Grant: If we're at the 35-yard line, we're not kicking a field goal, we're going for it? I don't think he's going to hesitate to kick a 35-yard field goal.

Horn: It would depend how the first kick of the day goes.

Sherrington: It's not just field goals, it's extra points - those are not gimmes anymore.
