Just because you paid him does not make him worth it

I don't have a problem with Dak getting paid. It is what it is. But just because you paid him...that does not mean his performance equates to his paycheck. Jerry should KNOW this. Just because Dallas is the most highly valued franchise in all of sports...that does not mean the product on the field is the cream of the crop. Jerry is reluctant to pay people because he is not sure their performance will equal their paycheck...but he has no problem stuffing his pockets with all the money he can, all the while the performance of his team does not reflect the franchise value.

Dak is who he is. His ceiling is Russell Wilson. BUT. BUT. You have to have the right pieces around him. Coaching, the Legion of Boom, the running game and defense allowed Russell Wilson to be the best version of himself and he maximized his potential and had a couple of Super Bowl runs. Why would we take the #1 offense in the NFL last year....and downgrade the WRs corps by a lot? The Oline is downgraded. The RB position is downgraded (Zeke is who he is at this point...and you don't get better as you age). Mike McCarthy is no Pete Carrol. And AT&T stadium is not the homefield advantage that Seattle had.

We have seen Dak without WRs before. It was not pretty. We are trying something that has already failed. Teams are going to load the box and force Dak to beat them with Lamb and (3rd round rookie, USFL star, undrafted rookie etc...). We will try to run into a loaded box. Get into predictable 3rd and longs when the run is stuffed. And be under a lot of pressure to convert unfavorable down and distances multiple times per drive. Oh, I forgot to mix in a penalty from the OL. Like I said, we have seen this before, it is not rocket science. Oh, I almost forgot, we will probably put up enough yards to appear.....

I cannot take this team seriously. I knew not to take them seriously when I witnessed the comedy club act at McCarthys signing. Then he immediately went to work proving to be the clown we now know he is. The one thing Jerry had done over the Garrett years and now McCarthy... is keep enough talent on the field to give off the appearance of a title team in SPITE of the coaching. But the one thing you HAVE to have when your talent on the field is AVERAGE....is good coaching. And going into this season, I seriously question the talent on the field. And we now know it was not McCarthy in Green Bay, it was Rodgers. And I don't care what stats Dak has/will put up...he ain't Rodgers.

So why post? Why watch and follow the team? Why such a lengthy rant that is based on pure speculation and hyperbole? Why do that to yourself for all to see? What is that going to solve? Why not be patient and wait and see how these decisions turn out this year and the next for this team? Lots of good decisions, drafts and moves have been made in recent years with this team and organization. Patience is a virtue.

Dak has been one of the best and most accurate deep ball passers in recent years. Seriously don't know what you are talking about.

And he has a killer play action. People just have to blame somebody. Is he the best , no but you don’t need the best to win. Aaron Rodgers one ring, Patrick Mahone’s they never see another one again. I don’t know how people keep forgetting that teams win championships . Not just the quarterbacks

For another time, we didn't have better options available than Dak. Our defence was awful the year before we signed Dak's extension, and the QBs this year were pathetic in the draft.

Exactly, has the OP seen the money Murray just got paid? And his leadership sucks and he doesn't know what game tape is. Dak's contract looks like a bargain by comparison, and wait until Lamar Jackson gets paid.

Most QBs need pieces around them. Most SB winners have a very good defense. The niners had a running game and defense. Heck the egirls win with foles.

People watch brady win a basket full of sb rings and think a qb can carry a team. Does Dak need more pieces than others.. maybe. But he can get it done. We had a descent team but started expecting more maybe to fast from a second year QB. 2016 was a amazing year for a rookie. He has learned to beat the blitz. Now he is working on reading defenses. Should be more confident in letting it go. He was improving every year until a nasty injury. I am wanting to see what this year brings with a improved Defense.

I was never a Mahomes fan especially for that reason he throws everybody under the bus. Sure he can throw the ball left-handed between his legs. But he falls under the pressure also . Everybody knows I’m not a fan of his
