Aaron Rodgers says he's a big fan of Dak and doesn't understand all the criticism he receives

[SteveTheCowboy]

We got rid of Parsons because of Jerry's hurt feelings in the 11th hour, not some grand vision for Cowboys football. Hopefully what's happened as a result came from somebody else who finally called Jerry a fool to his face (nicely) and he actually listened. But the time to trade Parsons was after his 3rd year if you were unsure of paying him. Could have gotten more than anyone's ever received for a traded defender with that timing. But that would have required them to have foresight, not the "clean up on aisle 10" mentality this became. Might work out, but still.

Yes...yes...I mentioned that already. "shenanigans and grandstanding".

"someone telling jerry he's a fool"....may have contained some thinigs about "Parsons not helping our team as much as the cashed check should indicate".

Aaron said alot of things in that interview. So much so that he's now my favorite qb of all time

Can you direct me to a site where I can catch the entire interview?

You didn't just say that a top ten QB should account for 10 wins? I'm pretty sure you said that.

Stop with the "you guys" stuff. I speak for myself as I'm sure all others do. There is no conspiracy here.

I'll ponder on why if a top 10 QB should win 10 games and Prescott is a top 10 QB but didn't win 10 games last season... Not sure I'll be able to find the sense in that, but I will give it a shot.

What’s your point here? What are you trying to get at? If you have a top 10 QB your floor should be 9-10 wins. How is that some controversial take? Last season was an outlier where he had the worst defense in the league. Just like Lamar and Burrow had bad defenses. It happens.

He’s a nut job. Especially the part where his fiance asked to sleep with another man before they got married and he took her back. He’s nuts lol.

My point exactly. Every time the Cowboys lose, Dak lost. When they win, the fantastic roster Jerry built carried him.

The goal posts just keep being moved to support a narrative. I am not naive enough to absolve Dak of all the blame. But to make every win and loss about one player is ridiculous either way. Dak does not win or lose games by himself.

But to people desperate to be "right" on an internet forum, he does.

Exactly. And they want be to contribute to this tired argument. I’m over it. It’s whatever they want it to be. It’s 2026 and people still don’t know or think it takes a team to win. At that point they just don’t want to know lol.

The issue is not being the problem doesn’t mean they are part of the solution though.

Similar to the Micah parsons situation. Hes a top 5 edge player, but there is a reasonable argument that the cowboys are better off long term with their 1st round picks and Kenny Clark.

If the cowboys continue to struggle in 2026 it’s probably fair to evaluate if a $60m QB continues to be a wise investment, or if looking at an exit plan, possible picking up a draft pick for Dak along with opening future cap space to finish the defensive rebuild is the way to go?

To me this is all far fetched unless the cowboys actually underachieve this year, but what if they do? Shuffle the cards again and hope that year 12 is the winner?

It should’ve never been a Micah or Kenny Clark argument though. Cowboys never properly built a defense around Micah that would sustain in the playoffs. His interior was terrible his whole career here.

Very fair argument. I look at Dak similarly. He’s not the problem, but if the FO refuses to build around him properly or the money the player takes up is too excessive to properly build around him then it’s wasting everyone’s time to keep the player.

Parsons probably thrives here in Dallas pairs with Q in the middle. For one reason or another Jerry simply refused to do much at the DT position while Micah was here other than gamble on mazi smith.

I agree to an extent. But let’s also remember Dak was on a rookie deal and the teams were still improperly built. Same goes for Micah. Dak has never had a cap hit over 20 percent when Micah was here.

 

[thunderpimp91]

You're right but I am waiting on year 31 to be the winner. Quarterback play has actually not been the problem since 2006, since this team admittingly lucked into both Romo and Dak outperforming expectations.

Agreed. Lots of people disagree with me which is fine but I tend to downplay the QB position so I’m more agnostic towards Dak.

IMO it’s pointless to have a top qb without a proper supporting cast. I also think you can get away with average at the position if you do have the supporting cast in place.

The Romoholics still refuse to accept Dak. They will never forgive him for with his rookie performance forcing to keep their hero Romo on the bench of injury and eventually forcing his retirement after the season ended that 2016 year.

 

[Kwyn]

Yeah but A Rog famously said that he is so competitive that he hates it when other QBs are successful (he never liked Favre either.. and vice versa).

So him "being a big fan of Dak" is kind of a backhanded sign of disrespect. He just sees him as a safe, squishy, non threatening beta

I never heard him say that about Brady, Manning, or Breese.

Wow, you thought to yourself “Dak sucks” and then reached back and pulled some comments straight out of your butt.

Ahh damn on that explains why so many clips are coming out.
