He beat Seattle in the playoffs and lost to Philly at then end of the year with a sprained AC joint in a game that he would not have played in if we had a decent backup......his other 65 games shouldn't matter......ok, sounds good
Philly, Chicago, NE, Buffalo, New Orleans, Jets, Packers. All those games had a chance but had zero offensive production especially on final drives of the game when we finally got within one score. He didn’t even come close to getting the job done. People could knock Romo all they want but with him down by one score we at least had a feeling that the game was with in reach of tying or winning. We don’t have that feeling with Dak.

People who knocked Romo were just as clueless as people that knock Dak. But, hey! Gotta blame someone, may as well be the face of the franchise. That's the way it works and that's why they get paid the big bucks.

Like I've always said here:
It's easy to place blame if you make it simple.
Even if it's very complex.

Lol wow. With Romo I was worried every time he was going to make a boneheaded play to cost us the game. Towards the end of his career I was much more confident but Romo in year 4 I was scared to death of him throwing the game away. Stop. Dak has the most 4th quarter comebacks next to Brady In the last 4 years. So most people have that feeling. Just not you.

it is standard procedure, for the player to not meet directly with owners gm's etc.
Doing that would be like being on trial and being your own attorney.

it isnt for us to decide what dak is worth, that is up to jones boys, and MM.
they will decide later on, and it is best to just wait and see what happens, it has nothing to do with us.
WHATEVER they decide we will have to just live with it.

best to just relax watch some xfl games, and wait for the draft and FA.

Jerry can handle it... Just raise the parking fees at the Stadium (for all events) and the concession prices, and and that should help. For everyone that pays to park and buys concessions at the Stadium.... Thanks for Helping !

The Philly game he played w/a bad throwing shoulder, right index finger & left wrist. Moore benched our two top wr's on the last play of the game with the division crown on the line on 4th & goal. What OC DOES THAT?!

I wish at times Dak wouldn't be so tough and sit out some of these games when he's hurt so fans wouldn't be so spoiled on having him. Let them have a taste of Cooper Rush before being so critical on our starter.

Speaking of Seahawks, did we forget he beat them the season prior making the playoffs?! Let's give credit when/where it's due.
What about the Saints & Patriots games? If they win either of those games then the Philly game doesn't even matter.

well jerry doesnt have to raise the money lol 35 mil a year is nothing to him.
The problem is within the cap, they only have x amount of money each year.
everytime the cap goes up, players want more money, so they never have enough money.

Dak is being represented by an agent, Todd France, who is working under CAA, an agency that is among the most demanding in the field. Dak has already stated he depends upon his agent to do his bidding for him, so the idea that this thread is based upon is certainly well founded in his case. CAA is quite determined to establish their name as one of the most productive ones in the business for NFL players.

Unfortunately, I think they have Dak seriously overrated but are determined to establish themselves as a major leader in the business. For Dak and the Cowboys, it obviously presents extremely difficult negotiations. To compound the issue, the Cowboys' organization is facing a unusually large number of free agents to deal with this year.

He should be judged for on the field performance in big games like at Philly and against the Seahawks. Games that count with the season on the line.
Have no problem with that. Can we judge other players using the same criteria, like Zeke? Cuz he stunk up the field in that Philly game and the year before against the Rams. Can’t win with a player like that not showing up in big games, especially one that demanded to be the highest paid player at his position.
