I couldn’t agree more. Neither QB should be blamed for Cowboys failure to ‘break through’. Every edition of teams they led had more egregious flaws in OTHER non-QB position areas that resulted in the team’s ultimate downfall. The arguably best teams for Romo and Prescott each fell to Green Bay in the divisional round (2014 and 2016 respectively). I hate the Packers.
Gotta do 3. If he added another good QBs he would’ve argued against his own point lol. He used the 3 exceptions lol.
This needs to die.
I don't think even the most ardent Dak fan would argue that. That's all on Jerry. I don't blame Dak for striking while the iron is hot, but this number will never allow him to appease a fanbase, unless he wins a SB. Even then, his haters will keep attacking him. That's the nature of the game.
Most of the threads on here are useless.....except for the gameday menu thread!! Lol
That’s the thing. People talk about his contract and I agree based on skill he shouldn’t be the highest paid as probably 5-8 range Qb….Cowboys waited so late to pay him that guys like Tua, Trevor and Murray became 53-55 million Aav guys.
If Dak won a SB they would complain what too so long or why just one lol. Those type of sorry fans have a agenda.
Agreed and that was my point, if hes at thr 55mm range I dont think were having the same discussion- again the jerry stupidity premium
I agree with you though I’m not sure some of these fans are aware at the time he only got 5 million more than a guy like Tua. They hear “highest paid” and freak out. Also due to how they’ve structured his deal he’s never really had cap crippling cap hits. They’ve just done some very weird roster building tactics that have failed and rightfully so.
Who cares about the stats romo was jsut a more fun player to watch. He played like an udfa who didn’t waste one snap.
Totally agree and the average fan just looks at the number not necessarily the math and flexibility behind it.
I am too because Cowboys don’t give up talent. I know people mention Micah but that was probably the first time we saw them not bring a guy back who was in his prime. I really want to see how they handle Pickens and Porter. It’s almost like they don’t even know.
We like our guys.
......and yet contrasting when Tony smiled in Jerry's office after his big contract. The bottom line is we've had a QB that was good enough to lead into the playoffs much further than we've seen.........Jimmy karma, Cabo getaway during playoffs (similar, but unlike Beckham fall-out w/ Giants), coaching blunders, defense instability, errors, routine draft busts, poor coaching selections, bad franchise culture, poor general manager, poor scouting, poor player execution, poor player development, and frustrated fan base. Etc., etc., etc. I don't know what else to tell you. Blaming the QB or his pay simply blinds the complete dysfunction and routine train wreak activity displayed by this team
Romo played with some BAD defenses, so you can't really separate him from the other 21 players and Jason Carrot. When our defense was good, he had a couple good seasons, and DEZ caught it against GB and Roger's.
Lamar Jackson is 3-5 in the playoffs, with 10 TDs and 7 Ints.
Top 5
Ok but football is a team sport. If one or two people are not doing their jobs then you are screwed.
But but but but but but...
