I think you guys are being a little tough on the guy.
Reading into Dak’s comments last year, you could sense dissention in the ranks. Sounds like he’s been pleased with the changes and is back in full company man mode. Happy QB is not a bad thing, right?
If you want to nit-pick at what he said as being a stretch - you’ve got a leg to stand on. But would you prefer that he stand, shoulders slumped, at the podium and say, “The staff’s not bad, Schottenheimer is a puppet, Jerry won’t spend **** in free agency, we don’t have the personnel to truly compete, but I’ll be out there giving it a go anyway”? I thought he represented himself and the organization very well with his comments.
Besides, when comparing the Cowboys to the Commanders and the Eagles is he way off? I know the Birds have a dominant roster, but would you be shocked if a fully healthy Cowboys team went 2-2 against the two teams that competed in the CCG? I wouldn’t. Pretty sure that’s the lens he’s looking through when makes comments about the Cowboys being able to really compete.
Gonna be a long spring and summer if this is what is being heavily criticized 204 days away from the kickoff of the 2025 season.
