you are a disingenuous clown. the team can afford whatever they want to do, and the "toys" won't be leaving due to Dak, if at all.
he's a great qb, and while his stats mean nothing presently, if the defense and special teams could perform even passably, this team would be a handful. worst starting field position, worst special teams, least amount of takeaways, most missed tackles.... if these were even league average, we're having a far different conversation. the team isn't faltering because of Dak, it's faltering despite him.
You know you have a winning argument when you open your statement in such fashion. You guys sure are an intellectual bunch.... LOL
Anyhow--I'll agree the defense was horrid in Chicago, but heading into that game, they were 8th in both points allowed and yards allowed. 8th best in the league. if you want to say they could stand to improve at times, I'll buy that. The defense is not exempt from any blame. I don't view the defense the way you and your cohorts view Dak. But 8th in both points and yards is, at the very least, performing (to borrow your language) "passably" isn't it?
We have two losses THIS YEAR when the defense allowed 13 and 12 points respectively. All our offense had to do was find a way to manufacture 14 points in both of those games and we are sitting at 8-5 right now. Tell us, Proof--how "passable" does our defense have to be, before some of the blame shifts from them to Dak in your eyes?
And I've still yet to have anyone explain the first half of 2018 to me (Pre Cooper) where Dak was under 200 yards passing in 4 of the first 7 games, or that stretch in 2017 when Zeke was suspended. Remember those glory days? Remember that stretch when Prescott had to be "the guy" you so desperately keep telling us he is, and we had a 3 game stretch where we scored 7, 9, and 6 points respectively? Remember him going almost a month without a TD pass? That's your "great" qb? That's your $40 million man? That's what our offense will look like when Cooper and half the O line are gone and Dak actually has to carry a team. That's what you get with this guy. That's who he is, when it's all on him.
Someone points out the obvious fallacy of the prevailing argument in favor of paying Dak mega bucks, and your retort is some basement level insult and declaring the salary cap to be "fake news".
Another fan who is making their decision on Dak based purely on emotion and hope, rather than the reality of the situation. And you know what? I'm not naive. I recognize that the guy who writes the checks agrees with you on this one. It's going to get done, and it will go just like we expect, and in the end, you'll find a way to shift blame to someone, anyone, but precious Dak. And anyone who disagrees with you will not be discussed or merely disagreed with--they'll be insulted, shouted down, told to "go root for another team" etc.
Classic mob mentality. Classic Dak a zoid. Submit, or be run over. Our fate has been decided. Pretty sad.
