The aspect that your shallow view is missing is that one can root for the player while at the same time lack faith in the player.As someone who’s rooted for every Cowboys QB who has been under center since Aikman - because, get this, I’m a COWBOYS fan - it’s always funny to me when a fan can’t bring himself to root for his favorite team’s QB.
Seems like it’d be a miserable way to live as an NFL fan, but to each their own.
Pretty obvious that there’s a certain segment of Dak haters who will never like Dak, no matter how much success he has. He could win 5 Super Bowls but it’ll always be, “any QB could do what he did with this great supporting cast!”
My opinion: Dak doesn’t “look the part” in their eyes. They have a mental image of what the Dallas Cowboys QB should look like, play like, sound like, etc.
In short, they’re complete scumbags whose opinions, frankly, don’t matter.
To clarify: this “certain segment” I’m referring to is a small minority of the overall database of Dak’s haters. Most Dak haters would gladly get on board if he became the next Russell Wilson and won a Super Bowl.
But I’m absolutely certain that there would still be SOME fans who would still dislike Dak as the Cowboys QB no matter what.
I root for every player on the team. Some I have confidence in, some I hope prove me wrong. There is no hate. There is just an opinion on the player's value and skill level based on my experience as a longtime fan.
Agree or don't agree with my opinion. I don't care. Making it personal, attaching labels like hater, suggesting ulterior motives, is where it goes off the rails. That stuff only invites a response in the same vain and is poison to the forum.
I'll never understand why some are so threatened by a differing opinion they feel the need to personally attack. That's the real hate imo.
