Find a rumored “source” that makes the team look bad or unreasonable. You find those and you *might* be seeing something out of the Dak camp.
All of the opinion is slanted one way, in favor of the team and against the player
It happened with Zeke
It happened with Tank
It happened with Dez
Now it’s happening with Dak
These aren’t isolated incidents.
It’s a pattern and it’s a planned and calculated strategy
Once we get past our love for the team and our crying and gnashing of teeth anytime something, anything, appears to threaten the illusion, it really becomes obvious what has been happening here forever
Based on what? He's good enough for a 32 million dollar franchise tag but he's not good enough to hold out in a contract year? You are talking with your hatred for him. Let's be logical now.
The Cowboys made a huge blunder by not signing Dak immediately after his 3rd season. He had a more reasonable agent back then.
Dak took all the risk when the team made him play out his contract. Now they have to pay. That’s the trade off.
After Dak signs his multi-year extension to be a Cowboy for life:
I'm not gonna talk in circles about how good or bad Dak is. We can easily agree to disagree there. But one thing we can deny is "he's not good enough to hold out". That is a flat out lie.I only recently got turned off of Dak. He's not a guy that can carry a team whose depth has been gutted because of his contact. He's a nice QB but not someone who isn't easily replaced with a tier 1 draft pick or middle or decent FA. If we let Dak walk we could have improved with Brady. There's always options and if not I'll take being bad for a year not to have to pay an average QB top dollar. Rookie QBs been coming in and playing well right away here lately.

Ineffective strategy..considering they cave in every time..so what's the pur?
After Dak signs his multi-year extension to be a Cowboy for life:
I would like to see the entire team with a year under new coaching and see what happens.Heck the Cowboys can easily go 8-8 with Andy Dalton just like they can go 8-8 with DAK....so why pay 35mil to go 8-8
That is not the only possible reason. You are not considering the fully guaranteed amount at signing.
I’m sure Dak’s 3 year ask was that all 3 years be fully guaranteed...like Cousins. Assuming $35 mil per season, that is $105 mil all guaranteed the moment he signs his name. That would $35 mil more “fully guaranteed” money than than Wilson got at signing. It would be $39 mil more than Wentz.

That would be a tough pill to swallow for any team.[/QUOTE
I respect what you are saying but I my main point is why does it seem as though the Jones's are more concerned over length than amount. Perhaps I;m wrong but it seems that way.
Also, I'm trying to picture a scenario where a quarterback that performed at his level during the first four years of his career would suddenly flatline, especially considering the talent surrounding him, talent that he is extremely familiar with.
Does Dak Prescott seem like he has a lack of motivation to continue to work hard, learn, improve and win? This is not his third or fourth contract, These are going to be the beginning of his prime years. His skills have not receded, they have improved to the point where he was given more opportunities than he had during his "busdriver" rookie year.
Getting back to your point, a five year contract with the same guaranteed money wouldn't be much of a difference if he defies the laws of probability and ends up being a terrible quarterback as some fans insist. I suppose he would be cut sooner than later. The Cowboys wouldn't want to suffer his descedsion into mediocrity for more than a season or two. Whether it be a 3 year or 5 year he would get the guaranteed money.
I still get the feeling as if Jones knows he will be a consistent quarterback and, as he progresses through his next contract, he could well end up being the kind of quarterback that can win the game when other areas of the team are struggling. It just happens to be that Jerry is once again fighting the wrong fight. This should have been the fight he fought with Dez's contract back when, perhaps Zeke's. Dak'sontract should have taken priority over every other player he has signed since the beginning of last season.
Because 8-8 isn't the freaking ceiling....who in the hell is striving to go 8-8?Heck the Cowboys can easily go 8-8 with Andy Dalton just like they can go 8-8 with DAK....so why pay 35mil to go 8-8
I agree with what you are saying for the most part but to think Bill France is sitting there tight-lipped would be naive imo.Find a rumored “source” that makes the team look bad or unreasonable. You find those and you *might* be seeing something out of the Dak camp.

They have had one 8-8 season since 2014the ceiling for who or what. The Cowboys have been a .500 team for some time.. be stupid to pay 35mil if the best a QB can do is 8-8 or 9-7. Average QB don’t make 35mil.... give a QB 35mil if they are difference makers not home setting on the couch watching the playoffs
Was he greedy making peanuts the last 4 years?
Dak's career is 40-24 so how have they been a .500 team for some time? Before the last season the last time they went 8-8 was 2013.the ceiling for who or what.
