And now, the Cowboys QBs of 2000-2006, brought to you by Furboy

Troy Aikman, Randall Cunningham, Anthony Wright, Clint Storner. Ryan Leaf's moral compass was not in one piece, Quincy Carter's mind was gone, there's Chad Hutchinson, Drew Henson, and Vinny watch the birdie Testaverde, Drew Bledsoe, and Tony Romo *falls*

Point of this hopefully humourous post in the tune and parody of Yakko's World will help you all understand why we need to keep Dak. In case you forgot about those horrendous years, we went through a bad stretch between when Aikman couldn't play anymore until we lucked into Romo. For those that think that simply replacing a franchise QB with the leadership intangibles that Dak has, remember those years. For 5 and a half years, we didn't have a franchise QB. The only reason we had one was because Sean Payton managed to steal Romo away from the Broncos as a UDFA, and somehow, he didn't take Romo to New Orleans with him when he left for there. Oh, and then Parcells started to use him more. If not for all of that, I suspect we probably would still be looking for a franchise QB. Idk about you, but I would hate to return to THOSE years of searching for a franchise QB. Those years were an awful introduction to being a Cowboys fan for me as all I knew for my first few years as a fan was 5-11.

Don't worry my furry friend, Dak is gonna get paid, probably slightly more than he's worth but you're correct, letting him leave is a massive risk that could cost us for years. JJ makes mistakes but he's probably gonna get this one right (just).

Pay top dollar for empty calorie 8-8 Dak.
Yahooo.....no need to wonder why this fan base and owner is ridiculed throughout the NFL world.
 
Cowboys had many failure quarterbacks between Aikman & Romo. When they finally landed 2 decent quarterbacks in Romo & Prescott, the front office continued having Garrett as their head coach & his medicore play calling which led to many 8-8 seasons.

I could care less what Dak nor what any other player makes. Just win!

Sean Payton did not steal Romo from Denver. Mike Shanahan really wanted Romo for the Broncos and ardently pursued him , but Payton convinced him to sign with the Cowboys.

Ok lol, it's really 27-24 taking into consideration the games he played this season.
What's that equate to .550?:muttley:
Now figure that 10 of those wins are against the dog Giants and D.C. woof woof...
Regression at its finest and the dude wants a top 5 contract.:banghead:

Nope. 29-24 did take into account the 5 games he played this season. He isn't asking top 5 QB money, he is asking current going rate for a QB. 2 or 3 years from now, his money won't be in the top 10 of QB's coz the market progresses. All this fretting over how much he is going to get paid is pointless, fact is, he is plenty good enough to go deep into the play offs if the rest of the team is adequate. That has not yet been the case. He is not the problem.
 
I have been a fan since 1968. My experience has been the opposite. Franchise QBs do grow on trees.

The only times Dallas hasn't had a franchise QB has been between White and Aikman for a couple of years and the period you're describing. So for the vast majority of the time I have enjoyed good QB play.

This franchise has been blessed being able to find QBs. When Prescott is gone the next franchise QB will just fall out the tree and into our hands.

Exactly! What roster building should be is build through the draft and keep the players putting in the work to improve. Dak has done that. He should be able rewarded. Especially since he's a franchise QB and franchise QBs are hard to come by. We have experienced this.

I think he'll get this one right too. I just hope he doesn't take too long on it.

Exactly, in a few years, what he's asking for will be a bargain. Especially considering how little he was paid over the first 4 years.

Maybe, but you can only get lucky for so long.
