Why do you either have to be a Hater or Homer?

I don't get it.

If you say anything positive about Dak you are labeled as Homer.
If you say anything negative about Dak you are a labeled as a Hater.

Why can't we as a Cowboy's fan who likes the boy's and their players just offer up
observations and critiques of Dak or the Cowboys without all the blow back ?

Something has clearly been wrong with Dak since the calf injury and I am very concerned.

If it does not get fixed before the playoffs we will be one and done.

Assuming we make the playoffs of course.

I think he is either still suffering from the calf injury or has another undisclosed injury.

I sure hope whatever the problem is, it can get corrected soon.

For the record I really like Dak as a person and player and hope he can get back to his old self.

You don't...but yeah, if you critique any of the popular guys here like Dak, Zeke, Coop, etc....you are a hater. Even if its constructive criticism. There are several here who are legit haters though and that is what the ignore button is for if that is your cup of tea. Just write what you think....and know you can't please everyone.

I dont mind criticizing a player when its warranted. Dak has played way off the mark the past little bit. However he has had flashes of throws I didnt even think he could make. Did he lose us the Raiders game? No. But somehow on here he did. What bothers me the most are the posters that were non existent for weeks and then the Denver game happened. Those are the ones I cant stand.

I've tried desperately to stay out of the Dak debates.

But this dude is regressing somehow....and quickly.

He isnt very accurate and never will be but now suddenly all of our receivers are blanketed on every play.

Are they taking away the pass? That's great because they somehow can't run the ball either.

"I don't get it" is a symptom of the "in-denial" disease. All we have are haters and homers. ;)

I praised Dak for his play up to the bye week because I thought he was playing top 5 QB football.

Since the bye week he has been horrible and looked like he has been playing bottom 5 QB football and I've called him out for it.

I don't care to praise him or hound him. I will do whatever the situation calls for.

It’s not that simple or one sided at all.

There has been a loud group from the beginning of Dak’s career that did not like him for some reason and their critiques changed as they were proven wrong.

He only wins because his team is good.
He can’t throw for 300 yards.
He can’t thrown the deep ball he’s dink and…

Then when that proved to be a bad assessment they changed to:
Anybody can put up 400 yards, but he can’t win.
Etc. etc. on and on.

It is/was pathetic.

It’s clearly fine to criticize Dak. I don’t think many care if it’s grounded in fact and not some overreaction or emotional “feeling” or “eye test”.

It’s fun to make fun of those people that are wrong and can’t admit it. I’m not sure why. I guess it’s that they are obnoxious about it and don’t care about being wrong. And when they disappear then reappear after a loss it’s revealing and transparent which makes it more fun.

On some level they like the attention they get for being the way they are. It’s a win-win.
