Video: Are you a Dak fan or a Cowboys fan

[Flamma]

This seems to contradict the video in the OP.

He clearly says in this video that Jason Garrett, and not Dak Prescott, is the problem in Dallas.

Why if Dak is not the problem, why would you not pay him?

It doesn't mean he's not still iffy about Dak. It's still hard to judge Dak under this coach. Similar to Mayfield under that disaster of a coach. Or even Josh Rosen in Miami.

 

[Johnny23]

So he’d become accurate if he had Zeke all of a sudden lol? Interesting.....

Jameis' problem isn't accuracy. It's that he's got to much Farve in him before Paul Hackett got into about his "**** go deep" mentality. Jameis is a riverboat gambler and no coach has reigned him in. He's also a sexual predator given his two major incidents but that's neither here nor there. Jameis gets slammed on here but he is a ridiculously talented passer of the football. You're going to get turnovers when you have gunslinger QBs going unchecked.

If Amari Cooper is the 56th best player in the league, then there must not be that many good football players in the league anymore

When I saw the top 100 list. Cooper is OK at best.

D. Lawrence won’t get 10 sacks this season.

What I said in April of 2019!

The Titans can make it to the SB

What I said watching the Titans vs Browns on Week 1

Out of all the receivers from the 2018 class, DJ Chark looks the best to me

And there wasn’t a lot of tape on DJ Chark. Broaddus didn’t like Chark.

Watched Burrow opening day vs Texas and said that’s the first pick in the draft.

Tua’s going to be a bust. So is the kid from Oregon

Said Lamar Jackson would be a bust! I had no idea Tommie Frazier’s offense would work in the NFL! It will be interesting to see when teams are adjusted to that scheme in 2020

My honest assessment of Dak: Best player in the league potential! Ability to be the most efficient QB in the league by far. Not as mentally tough as he carries himself. Traditional drop back passer. Not laterally smooth. Doesn’t move up in the pocket like Lamar Jackson. Big play ability. When he’s comfortable nobody is better. Bottom 10 when not comfortable.

Can the new coach do what Mullen and Garrett couldn’t do.. Can the new coach get Dak to play with poise in tight situations(not close games)(but vs defenses that can get in your jock) can the new coach help Dak overcome his history of becoming unglued in those situations.

If he can: Dak will be the MVP of the league

if he can’t: Dak will go down as the biggest tease in pro football history

My opinion: I don’t know if any coach can teach what Dak mentally lacks... it’s either a mental thing with him or Jason Garrett has one terrible scheme

Good point...……....That's going to be a problem with a lot of our free agents, do they really suck this bad or was it trash coaching?

Coaching was that bad.........

Everyone gets a clean slate from me going forward and lets see if MM/coaches can bring out more in them.

 

[Dorsett33]

Every day there's a Dak post. Some of you want Dak gone if he was an All-Pro QB this year. The guy put up very good numbers. Him not getting paid is Jerry's fault. He should have paid him early instead of letting other lessor QBs set the market. Replacing Dak from the draft this year will only set this team back. Replacing Dak with some of the players mentioned in this thread is funny as hell. I can't wait till the Cowboys win a Superbowl with Dak to see what thread is put up. I can probably guess on some of them....lol. Smh.

 

[keysersoze]

Many here will claim they are Cowboys fans yet they want to handicap the team with an average QB at center who isn’t a dual threat QB, a running QB, nor a pocket passing QB. He doesn’t even fit in a category because he’s average/mediocre in the ones I listed. Tell me, how is paying a QB that has shown us practically nothing worth 35-40 mil dollars? I get it’s market price, but when it was time for Alex Smith to get paid “market price” at the time, the Chiefs let him go because he did NOT prove enough. They drafted Mahomes and took off. Dallas should follow suit.

Wow..... Just WOW!

 

[5Stars]

DakStans?

 

[Playmaker247]

I really do think the Oline and Zeke would cut down his turnover dramatically because he would be asked to do less.

Winston wouldn’t be my first choice though. I’m not a fan of his at all and Dak is a better player then him.

But Winston at 15 million vs Dak at 35? I mean come on... Dak is not 20 mill better.

Daks contract is the cause of this entire debate. His ability doesn’t match that number.

You realize Winston is asking for at least 30 mil right?

 

[BHendri5]

Tom Brady can take pay cuts, His wife is the money maker , plus he makes money from other sources. If that wasn’t going on, trust me he would have The patriots over a barrel or Bill would have traded him or let him walk long ago.
Dak is legit.

Yep, when your wife is making over $100 million a year, you can afford to give your team a hometown discount.

 

[Blue64]

Dak shows flashes of brilliance at times but far too often he makes stupid decisions and far too many erratic throws to be considered a top 5 QB.

Forget the stats for a moment and just think, is this the guy you want at QB for the next 5 years?
How does he compare to some of the other top QB’s in the league?
Quite simply he just doesn’t measure up and he’s a middle of the pack at best.
I for one seriously doubt that no matter who is HC, paying Dak as the future of the cowboys will result in the same futility of reaching the ultimate goal.

Not to mention that Dak will probably be in Cabo by the time training camp comes around.

You're going to get turnovers when you have gunslinger QBs going unchecked.

How can you want your Jamies overthrow guys and watch him throw picks and say it’s not a accuracy issue? Fabre was a gunslinger. Jamies makes bad decisions and has poor accuracy. I’m not taking him over Dak. No way in hell.

 

[starfan1]

Seems to be the way things operate around here. Herds of sheep. Once you turn from the norm, you’re hated on and called a troll, so the probability of me saying yes to this question is indeed high.

No it’s probably more about your incessant need to turn virtually every thread into your Dak hate stage

we get it you don’t like Dak and want to move on but the fact that you feel it necessary to engage virtually every thread your involved in to a it’s Daks fault stage is why people engage you in the manner they do

maybe there needs to be a Dak hate zone so you and pappy and a few others can sit and bash the cowboys for what they are about to do this offseason

that’s pay Dak either extend him or tag him but he’ll be making upwards of 32

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Well.. We could sign Jameis Winston and that would give you the similar production but I’d rather have the better players in Mariota or Carr.

People need to stop comparing Daks production to Winston.......what's funny is EVERY TIME it's made, the poster somehow accidentally leaves out his 30 interceptions as if they meant nothing.

 

[atlantacowboy]

I was liking this guy and then he made the Brady salary reference apparently unaware that Brady intentionally takes a discount to help the team sign players. Weak point for not paying Dak. The solution is obvious. You tag Dak and see how he does in MM's new offense. Makes no sense to sign him to a long term contract if you don't have too. Now he can pull a Zeke and announce well after the draft that he's not playing without a new contract. ........ that would force Jerry's hand b/c we have no back-up. My bet is that is what's going to happen here.

So if Dak was willing to sign a 5 years contract for say $10M a year.......you'd want to keep him?

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

I'm a Cowboys fan first. With regards to Dak, if the team decides to move on sure, go do it. Provided however that it is a viable option. Would we all love to have an otherworldly talent like Mahomes under center? Sure. But who is that person? Or is the expectation that we take a QB every year in the first round until we land Mahomes? Or do you want to trade up to the #1 or #2 pick - what does that entail? Burn 3 years of #1 picks? Probably will need to toss in some #2's as well. Okay, say we do that - 3 #1 picks for the next 3 years for Burrow. Now what?

If Jerry is smart he is taking a QB this draft or getting one in free agency. The problem over the last several years has been the amount of leverage guys like Dak and Zeke have had.

Paying is a tough decision, but some of your arguments are off base. For example, the Chiefs already had Mahomes - they didn’t let Smith go and then draft Mahomes. Plus, there are more Blaine Gabberts and Jake Lockers that get drafted than Pat Mahomes level players. You can’t just assume the Cowboys can have a Mahomes whenever they choose to get one.
