What’s the chance fans will accept the signing and that Dak is the QB?

[Jipper]

Only way anything changes is with a nfcc appearance, we get to the spot that has eluded us for 25 years and people will come around.....keep losing and nothing changes

pretty simple really

 

[charron]

Accept it? Everyone has to accept it like it or not just like all the other dumb decisions they do. Still want them to win just believe this is counter intuative to building a better team.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Only one problem - all the QB’s making this $$ were in the playoffs.

With good defenses (and coaches too)? Did those QB's play defense?

@Chuck 54 you are worried about the Dak haters? You should be worried about the brainwashed ‘church of Dak’ worshippers. Who will they blame after another loss? Jerry. The Jerry-haters will be out in full force after a loss pinning the blame solely on Jerry and neglecting the overpaid under performers on the field.

DO not use religious references.

Mods should look at the use of the term "haters".

There are many people on this forum who don't hate Dak - in fact many think he's a nice guy - but who do not think he is a good enough QB to be an elite starter in the NFL. By in large, these people come from a position of being a Cowboys fan rather than a fan of an individual star/celeb player. And it is fully acknowledged that there are also many Cowboys fans who think Dak is a franchise QB.

Those who are Cowboys fans will support the team through good and bad regardless of who the players are. They follow the team, not individuals. I'm not sure the same could be said about the individual player fans on this forum - would they have been Cowboys fans in 2021 if Dak was playing elsewhere? hmmm.

$40 million/year..? Wow. We don't even know if he'll be the same, after the gruesome injury he had last fall. Seems foolish to me anyways, to allocate that kind of cash/cap space to a player coming back from that severe an injury.

I like Dak. He's a good QB. He's not 40 mil/yr good.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Any time in the past when the Cowboys had a QB I didn't care for I wanted him to do well because I wanted the team to succeed. People on here that dislike Dak want him to fail and that is the part I can't figure out. He's the QB of the Cowboys so either get with the program or complain about something else.....

 

[panchucko]

It is what it is. I will root for the 11 players on the field if Prescott is one of them I will root for him too

Was Romo elite (he was to me even with his int flaws)? If posters here say he was but change the same standard for Dak, then imo it is an obvious hate bias towards Dak. Risen, Catch, etc., have hated Dak since day 1 before he played a game.

 

[DogFace]

Zero point zero chance for those “certain types” of fans to accept this.

And at the same time they will just like all the other stuff they cry about.

I don't get the Romo v Dak thing - I think Dak fans always throw this out. Romo is retired, he's not going to play again, he's irrelevant to any discussion over Daks ability or contract right now.

I also think it is very wrong to think those who don't rate Dak are Romo fans. In fact both camps are similar. In the same way that we have individual star player fans for Dak, we also had individual star player fans for Romo. Neither camp were necessarily Cowboys fans first - and again, I wonder if Romo had moved onto another team, would they have switched? [Again acknowledging that there are exclusively Cowboys fans who liked Romo as a QB].

There are many Cowboys fans on this forum who didn't agree with Romo's large contract extension (me being one of them - I thought he was too banged up) and who don't think Dak is a 40m per year elite franchise QB.

As someone who's been around longer than many fans - I think this is a trend in modern sports. In the past, people supported teams forever full stop. Now we have people who support individual star players and who can be quite fluid re: their team allegiances. They can also be very touchy over any criticism of their individual star player - hence the "hate" language, which has no place on a sports team forum where fans are having a bit of banter.

Everyone has a right to his opinion, and this is a public forum, but is there any chance the so-called “haters,” mostly just people with low opinions of Dak as a QB, can now accept the signing and reality that Dak is the QB for a few years at least, and whether they are right or wrong about his future performance, at least root for him and let the rest of us enjoy wins without pointing out every flawed throw or decision?

I mean the past two seasons have really not been fun after wins in this forum.

Any chance some of you valued and excellent posters can save most of the negativity towards our QB for the losses? Let it flow after losses, and we will argue how much of the blame Dak deserves. All I ask is at least when OUR team wins a game, even if we go 1-15, try to let the rest of us enjoy that win until the next loss. I’m not saying your analysis isn’t valuable and even correct, but it’s a long season, and wins are hard to come by in the NFL. Let’s try to enjoy the wins and burn the whole place down after losses.

I have no problem accepting the Dak signing. In fact, I fully expected it. It is another typical Jones move. I accept that it is the dumbest move in my 50+ years of fandom. This will provide me with plenty of free time during the playoffs and Super Bowl to do other things because the Cowboys will not be involved as usual, but in all honesty, this is not the Cowboys that so many of us grew up being fans of. The Cowboys have become the worst version of the Raiders when Al Davis was at his worst.

Dak is elite imo (top 10 QB). Reason I mention Romo and why posters here say he was (even with his int mishaps).

 

[jnday]

Nothing will change. Hate is all the Dak haters have shown since dsy 1.

I am one of them. I didn’t like Dak in college or high school either as a starting QB.

I don't know why other people's opinion of Dak matters. I was against signing him even though I thought he was a good quarterback for various reasons. But I sure as hell root for every player on this team to excel whether or not I disagree with a move. Otherwise I wouldn't be a Cowboys fan. I look for the silver lining in their plan and hope for the best. Because there is one in this case. It's not all doom and gloom.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

I've spoken to you in the past, and you were cool towards me. I have no grudge towards you. I'm going to bed. Peace.

 

[InTheZone]

Some people are more interested in being right than they are about the status of the team. They have an agenda and nothing is ever going to change their minds. Even if the Cowboys win a Super Bowl; they'll argue another QB could have done it sooner.

The Cowboys have just insured themselves security at the most difficult position to fill in all of professional sports for at least the next four seasons. This is a happy day for most Dallas fans. So I'm not letting the haters ruin it for me.

Why even make this argument when we haven't even sniffed a SB?

To op and anyone alike:
This whole thread is ridiculous. If a dak bash or critique thread gets someone down then dont click on it. Dont do things that make you miserable.

Too much mental gymnastics going into worrying about other fans than the team.

 

[StuckMojo]

I like Dak and have even bought a Dak jersey for my lady but I think it is way too much money. Some will call me hater for that but I pull hard for whoever is wearing the Star and even if I think they are overpaid. I just don’t want to become even more pass happy under Moore’s offense because Dak has to prove he’s worth the money. I would like to see running scheme tweaked and improved and get back to more balance.

The only way I wouldn’t pull for someone wearing the Star is if Aaron Rodgers ever ended up in Dallas!!

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I don't get why if you have concerns that paying a QB that sometimes is, sometimes isn't, depends on who we play top 10 at his position you're a "hater".

I like Dak and always have, but I'm realistic about the situation. Much better QBs then Dak have ruined their teams chances to compete by being greedy.

The deal is done. We fans have no choice to accept. I didn't think it made sense whatsoever but I don't have any personal issue with Dak. I didn't think Dak could overcome the shortcomings of this team and carry them to extra wins. He is a good qb, period. Never will be elite and the Cowboys paid him as he is top3 guy. There is the rub and now we will live with it.
Dak came in with an elite oline and average weapons. Now its the opposite. He got paid because he put up huge stats and also more mediocre records.
It's very simple guys and gals. Really it's SB or bust and I think it will not be a SB as its been since 1995 since we last won. It will not happen with this coaching staff and players.
