Slick, come on. Dak deserves to finish the season, just like Romo deserved to as well when he was making bonehead plays in some games, complete with some amazing plays and gaudy stats.
Hec, if we're going to bench Dak, we'd have to bench the entire defense and sack Nolan as well.
It's not time for Dalton, but it is nice having a veteran, decent backup.
If a decision was to be made that he is gone next over salary, no matter what, the money from this year is gone I get that. I see your point. I'm talking strictly from a monetary standpoint.
I'd bring in Dalton, to see him in real games with this receiving core, and maybe one of them won't be here, but if Dak is a dead player, I'd bench him, knowing he's better than Dalton, but he's gone so it makes no difference to play him and pad his stats.
I'd let DiNucci play a free games to see him in live game situations as well. Look at all options for next year, but not wait until then.
I just see the defensive side as beyond recovery this year, even with the injuries.
The offensive line is hurting too, and paying Dak with all that going does nothing for the next few years. Figuring out how to recover the overpaid defensive players is next.
They aren't even improving in areas but going backwards. That's coaching. I dnt care who the QB is, this team needs serious help.
Dak may get his money elsewhere, and with a team that has a better chance in the postseason. I don't think he's worth his asking price, but someone else will I'm sure.
Jerry won't see this team advance in the playoffs even if they somehow won the East. The buck stops with him as Game but it's his money, and his team.
I've been a fan for 48yrs. During the ups and downs, and will always be a fan. They need to wholesale rebuild, and keeping Dak is a waste of money with this team as is.
