Thank you. I was being nice to the love Dak crowd. I mean we are stuck with him and this idiotic front office. I am not anti Dak, but I was anti paying him 40 million a year. Go back anc check all of my posts. I am hated by the Dakkers...
My simple analysis was from 2016 to 2020, even with his Franchise tag deal, the Cowboys had the best value at the QB position. In one stupid contract decision they went from best value per production to near the bottom.

Again take emotions out of the decision here. Where Dallas failed miserably was: These were all my points at that time by the way.
-They saw this same scenario play out with Jimmy G, Wentz,Goff, Cousins, and a bit earlier with Flacco. The smart teams zig while everyone is zagging.
-I would rather sign Fitz, Jameis, you name the middle tier QB who will give me 90% of Dak and I keep my options open.
-Like usual this FO does not know how to lead they just follow as they don't care about actually winning. Their goal is to be middle of the pack. They wont go 3-14 and try to potentially get a franchise guy, yes this draft did not have one but they are out there which is why the league is set at QB.

This is my viewpoint and I don't think Dak will break the mold. Again nothing against Dak but he will not be elite. We have seen him for 6 years. Can he get to a SB? Yeah if his coach was McVay or Shanahan, but not with keep the lights on, pastrami sandwich in his mouth guy. No way.
Yes I know Dilfer and Brad Johnson have won SB's this century, but they had historic defenses.. Do not fool yourself.
You need to have an elite, elite QB to have success long term in this league and even that is not a guarantee. Look at Rodgers. My problem with our mindset ties to this whole team culture.
There is a reason why this team has not seen a championship game appearance since the 1995 season, its the same reason this board fights about Romo vs Dak, or is Zeke going to come back to form, or you name the discussion. This team has zero leadership, zero absolute zero culture of winning.
We are as broke of an organization as there is in the league, just the majority of the fans dont wake up and realize it.
This is a team accolade, but......
Cousins has never been to a Super Bowl and is 1-2 in the postseason.

You're rewarding Cousins for not being able to be a starting QB until year 4, but then using 2020 against Prescott?
You'd me like to add 3 years of Cousins being a back up to skew the numbers because you don't like what they say, wouldn't ya?

The only way to get a fair representation is to start from when both guys became starting QBs.

Cousins shouldn't get punished for being healthy.

No, just clearing up what you meant. I typically include the entire body of work.
Dak shouldn't be punished because he started from day one.

This organization has not taken the most important position on the team (QB) seriously since Aikman.

They've wasted almost 15 years between an undrafted (Romo) and 4th round (Dak) talent playing QB because they overachieved a little and the duffuses in charge believed they found the next Tom Brady.

I will continue to expect this team to fail when it matters until they decide to take the QB position seriously again.

Why do you consider that punishment? Because the numbers don't look how you'd like them to?

You want to punish Cousins for being a back up for 3 years and being healthy as a starting QB, AND you want to punish Dak for starting from jump street, BUT you also want to reward Dak for getting injured?

Okay. I'll do the same thing but I'll take away Dak's 2020 injury season:

Cousins averages as a starting QB - 4,223 yards, 29 TDs, and 10 INTS
Dak's averages as a starting QB - 4,045 yards, 27 TDs, 9 INTS

The new career Rushing TD's number with 2020 excluded for both Dak and Cousins - Dak 22 TDS , Cousins 16 TDS

You're still not gonna be happy even with 2020 left out of Dak's averages I assume, because the numbers still show Cousins clearly better.

You don't think it's significant when favoring Cousins over Dak to include the seasons he was on the bench? Ok, to each their own.
And the only reason I pointed out 2020 was because you tried to use it as an advantage.
You're still 5 games short.

But it's all good, you'd rather have Cousins. I have no problem with that. I think he's a really good QB and would cheer for him if he were a Cowboy.

I'd rather have neither one of them because I don't believe either one of them is good enough to shoulder the load if needed.

They're placeholder QBs as far as I'm concerned. They're the QBs you use until you have the chance to get someone much better. You don't hitch your wagons to them the way the Vikings and Cowboys have. That's why they are loser organizations at this point.

I agree 100% The fanbase is too busy debating Dak Vs Romo instead of realizing the actual problem. Loved rooting for Romo as much as the next person. I really thought we had a chance to get to the championship game in 2007 & 2006. Wish it could have broken different buy as the years went buy I was able to take off the blue colored glasses and see the era for what it was.

This organization has a history of being unprepared, under achieving, no leadership. Literally this is a clownshow and has been since Jimmy left in 1994. Let that sink in before anyone goes ape monkey defending the Jones ownership.
1995 was our last SB team, last team to make a championship game.

I just want this team to get to the championship game. I am not delusional to think we are winning the SB. Just get back to where you have a chance to earn a SB berth. To me winning the 1992 championship game was almost better than the SB two weeks later. Growing up watching NFL on CBS with those dominant, Giants, Niners, skins then Cowboys was really special. Jimmy's team just slayed all the old guard and earned those titles.

sorry for going on a tangent.

You keep saying that and I never see these people defending him. Where are these threads defending Jerry?
They’re are out there . It comes up more than you might think as we have fans out there who defend him on different issues. It’s always quite amazing .

We just had one last week on page 2 bobhaze started called “
Some fundamental sports truths I wish JJ would grasp”
bashing him and there were several going to bat for him .

the pillow late at night is a good place to cry
Once this harsh reality is established with our dysfunctional ownership how do we then move forward in your request in this post of yours I originally responded to?

“Switch Dak for one of the Top 3-5 QBs and those playoffs issues are resolved but hold on to that 400 yards games.”

Because they make the cry babies look silly. They prove the opposite of the theory Dak sucks or that he is the reason we lose. Its fun posting stats and watching you scatter like roaches.
You must of came out of a roach motel as you disappeared for a long span after Daks last playoff debacle. Stats are for losers and that fits Dak to this point in his career like it or not it’s the simple truth Dak disappears in big games his trademark to this point. Have a good night in the roach motel.

How sad you would post this like it’s anything meaningful. I went to the Denver game last year spent $4k to watch a team that couldn’t get the ball past the 50 yard line until the final 2 meaningless drives of the game when Denver had backups in and played Hail Mary prevent defense.
Now that’s sad!
I just as at that game too. Sucked. Whole team was flat.
