Make no mistake about it, this is Dak’s team

[adbutcher]

Yep...

Stats are meaningless to me, Ronald McCowboy.

Of course they are when they prove you wrong.

Was this ever even in question? I don't think I've seen anyone question his leadership. Some less observant or more stubborn people have questioned other things, but not his leadership.

Plenty have. @USArmyVet for one.

I wonder if Rocky and Ranching are sharing a cigarette while watching Dak highlights on Sports Center.

 

[visionary]

Yes this is Daks team

naw he's co-leader, parsons have given the spark this team needed. he singlehanded got rid of cancer on defense. Parsons is the MVP.

not sure i wouldn't add diggs to the mix but i agree with you there has been a culture change brought in by one dan quinn and bought into by the players. Diggs and Parsons are leaders by example but I'm gathering dak is a vocal presence in that locker room.

So is it Dak's team now that Dallas is 4-1 just as it was Dak's team when Dallas was 2-3 last season?

The fact is it's all the players and coaches team as all are depending on each other to win.

That's simply insane. It was obvious from his rookie season that he was a leader. It blows my mind how anyone questions it.

Parsons is a leader and he has sparked the defense, but that doesn't take away from Dak's leadership. When Dak got hurt last year, you saw it affect the whole team. The arrival of a few rookies and cutting out of some of the old culture has definitely helped though.

 

[Doomsday101]

regardless of the label you use there is absolutely no question that some here have repeatedly and daily attacked Dak. Now some of them will not show their face around here. We would have 10 to 15 threads a day just to rip Dak and now all of a sudden no one hated him? BS Does not mean those who have been critical are so called haters because a critic is always willing to point out good and bad but those who came here with no other purpose but to rip in to Dak and now all of a sudden vanish into thin air yeah that is a hater. PappyDog could not create a thread that did not rip in to Dak and even threads that had nothing to do with Dak he saw to it that he would rip Dak in those threads. So call it what you choose but after a full off season of crap thrown at Dak a little vindication feels good.

Diggs and Parsons are culture changers. That's for sure.

Dak is the leader of the offense, but Diggs and Parsons are the leaders of the defense.

that's what I was saying. thanks.e

and more credit goes to Moore and his offense. The shift in the running game has made the biggest difference on the offensive side of the ball.

Parsons and Diggs have transformed the defense in a big way. While the defense has a ways to go, this is a great start. I am not sure if Parsons can be described as a Ray Lewis, James Harrison, or Lawrence Taylor type in terms of toughness/vocal but that is what the Dallas defense needs to get to that level of 'nastiness' and shed past labels of softness that has followed Dallas.

Cox is looking promising too. He needs to select better wording on social media.

I would agree then again I think it is hard for a rookie to be a vocal leader in year 1. Parson is at the prove it stage and thus far has as he gains the experience and the reputation in the club house I can see him being the leader of this defense.

No.

Actually it is Jerry Jones' team and Dak is but an employee.
