Dak had best wake up and smell the roses

[TheMarathonContinues]

If you think "everyone" was thrilled about Dak in 2016 you weren't paying attention. Even after the regular season there were lots of folks clamoring for Tony to start the playoff game, and especially after the playoff loss, lots wanted Romo to be returned to the starting job in 2017.

Its people to this day still saying they should've put Romo back in lol.

 

[Diehardblues]

I have. I've also seen "reports" in the past that were lies.

I'm a Dak fan but I personally don't care what he gets. Cowboys have the money. They have everyone locked up they need to for the next 3 years...money isn't a issue.

Please provide any links or reports which imply these reports are lies.

If not then we have to decide whether to follow reputable news sources or an anonymous fan on a forum.

NFL Contracts: Cowboys’ Dak Prescott Demanding $40 Million
It appears that the Dallas Cowboys and franchise quarterback Dak Prescott are at an impasse in contract extension talks. It was previously reported that Dallas had offered the Pro Bowl signal caller $30 million annually on a new deal.

Now com this report from NFL Media’s Jane Slater indicating that Prescott is demanding what would be a league-record $40 million annually.

And this was reported to be BS......His camp said he never asked for 40 million so who you gonna believe? Forbes.com?

Dak has regressed? Lol, check the numbers, remember it's a team sport Einstein.

I posted a link to Dak's stats to show he has not regressed. In response to the same post.
I figured the Dak detractors would not take time to research it, just spew the normal.

Took me far less than a minute to do so.

But yet at times you posts info with no such links for which you are asking for now.

Everything you've posted is pure speculation. There is no facts being stated . The facts are Dak is in contract negotiations and he hasn't been signed.

If stats mattered, at all, that would make sense. But they don't, so.......

Dak struggled mightily last year in key moments. Continued red zone failure exposed his lack of confidence in his accuracy.

The continued struggles to score touchdowns against good defenses. Poor pocket presence. The inability to hit receivers in tight windows.

Dak is just terminally average.

The "sources" aren't always telling the truth, think they are all "objective"? And false reports can be leaked as well to those "sources". They compete with lots of others for attention, putting out a story so as to get attention wouldn't be surprising.

As the old saying goes (Edgar Allan Poe): Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear....

 

[Qcard]

Yes. Quite correct. They can and always have another to put in his place.
What's todays favorite flavor.

Or put another team in Cowboys place..it goes both ways

That's a pretty broad brush you are painting the fan base with there. I think a pretty good majority of the fans of the Dallas Cowboys like Dak and like him as their QB.

It is the very vocal minority that do not.

I for one was a huge Romo supporter. I hated all the negativity that was spewed about him all the time. Then he gets hurt (again) and Dak takes over. What a stroke of luck it was that we had Dak. The season wasn't over because of a Romo injury. When Romo was healthy again, I wanted him to get his job back. You don't lose your job to injury, right? Who knows what would have happened if they would have put him back in, but we stuck with Dak. It ended up the same result as other seasons. Romo retires, end of story. Dak is now our QB for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, fast forward a couple of years, and Dak has had some ups and downs here, but, again, I think most people like having Dak as our QB. He has built up a good bit of goodwill capital with the fans. Yes, you have the very vocal minority who don't like him for whatever reason, but I believe Dak has won over the majority of the fan base.

Now the contract, it is time for this to get settled. I believe Dak is using up the capital he has built up. I don't care about owner vs player, all most care about is the Dallas Cowboys and what is best for the Team. They can't be that far apart, can they? Does a million here or there make the contract that much better/worse. It's time for egos to be set aside and get this over with before he has used up all his capital.

Let's go Dak/Jerry, get this done.

Well said.

 

[kskboys]

I think people are forgetting Dak gave reward at low cost, low expectations, and untimely injury to Romo. Dak simply trying to cash-in due to market value. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that....it's the environment....The owners cut players at will, the player has to have some kind of bargaining chip. Some on this board don't want players to get paid but owners grabbing all the money.

There's a salary cap and a salary minimum. Which makes your post completely off base. What Dak gets paid is only relevant in managing the salary cap, it has absolutely nothing to do w/ what the owners make.

I've seen no evidence at all that "some on this board don't want players to get paid but owners grabbing all the money." It appears that you're making that up in your head.

The team had no red zone threat. Too many talking heads in Moore's ear. And of course Garrett. Poorly Garrett playbook designed plays. I know what you are saying, but not all on Dak either.
You do not like Dak so will look for things against him as opposed to things for him. I am not a huge Dak fan, but certainly do not look for all negative s 24 / 7.

As I said many times, prefer he plays on the tag, and let him prove it with a new staff. And I will not use that as an excuse if he fails. The offense scheme will not be that much different that he can't perform well within it.

I post this so you do not go..You're a Dak homer..on me.

That's where most of us are concerning Dak. We think he's pretty good and could get better.

What's silly is so many post thoughts based on only the Dak lovers/haters posts when that doesn't fit the majority of fans.

So Aikman had zero flaws (with Dak haters) with career 61.5% completions, 165 td's/141 int's.

I'm sure you unintentionally left out Aikman guiding the Cowboys to 3 Super Bowl championships. Also pretty comical you're comparing Dak to Troy.

Dude doesn't even understand the difference in stats between a downfield passing attack and a WCO.

 

[jjktkk]

Standards for Dak by haters = standards for all Cowboys QB's. But here by Dak haters Aikman has zero flaws.

Two things here. One, you already failed by even trying to compare Aikman to Dak. Two, any of Aikman's flaws are covered up by his 3 Super Bowl rings.

And you seem quite lost without looking at stats. The one stat you should look at is W's and L's.

Neither are the Cowboys hamstrung by the mythical cap hell...the change in 1st Rd top 10 picks in last CBA completely eliminated the "cap hell" card.

Deadlines make deals.... July 15th

Great post @rocyaice !

Huh? I think you meant this for someone else. Or, you thought I was pointing that at you, maybe. I was agreeing w/ you. Comp %s are always higher for the WCO due to the extremely high number of high percentage dump passes, which makes an accuracy comparison between two QB's using comp % w/o taking into account the differences in schemes completely useless.
