I have heard for 4 years about him growing up wanting to play for the Cowboys.
And how he points to the sky to his mom supposedly after each score.
It's all good and makes for great sound bites.
But it is now time for Dak to stop that and step in and agree on his contract and get back to football. Take some more time if you have to, but set a deadline and get it done.
Show the leadership you are going to be paid for soon.
Let's review how you got to this point..
Frankly, if Romo had not gone down..Dak would have been riding the bench the last 4 years as a 4th rd. pick..
He was exceedingly lucky to be a Cowboy.
And doubly luck to be starting. Tripley lucky to have Zeke and the OL he fell into and now the team traded for Amari to help him and getting ready to sign him for mega bucks.
This is all for Dak. Major major commitments being made here with even more coming.
Now a whole staff change has been made to help him win going forward.
And he has not signed yet?
Still we wait on him to show this leadership and wrap it up.
For me, I am not trusting this situation with Dak. Its beginning to have a smell to it.
Not only is he not the player we had hoped for after going on 5 years with him..
but he has more pressure on him now and I have some doubt that he can get the Franchise to the next level and keep us there.
I just have not seen it yet from him.
Maybe he does need to go around and interview with other teams. He needs to know how good Dallas has been to him and still is prepared to step up more.
And while all this plays out for Dak, Dallas has to account to themselves the mistakes of the past when they signed Romo's last contract without the championship wins being delivered by Romo first. Romo never delivered it even though I enjoyed watching.
But the fact is..it never happened.
Dak can not repeat this. But he is close to it already and the team must be wise. Dak really has not stepped up yet like he must.
I have tired of the lack of real effort of Dak's side working towards a conclusion of his contract so he and the team can move on and play ball.
Again, this is bad business to be doing this now after the firing of Garrett. Dak had something to do with Garrett's firing, too.
I know everybody wants to reject that statement.
"No..its was all Garrett's fault".
No. It was not. Dak had some sucky games against the Packers and Rams in the playoffs. He had a poor 2019 and we missed the playoffs. Dak, eat some humble pie, sir.
So while Dak wants money, I want a QB who puts the team first and understands his security comes from winning and building his legend.
Not his bank account.
He is not having any fingers pointed at him now. But if it gets tense after he signs either of the tag designations and the team still underachieves in 2020..
Katie bar the door.
They are not going to be firing more coaches.
Dak will be looking for a new team.
I say give him the Nonexclusive Tag and let's give him his final exam about is he deserving of his big deal after we have it all nailed down.
I am neither a Dak hater or Dak lover. I love the team and its place in sports.
That's it. My only agenda.
So shoot me.
Ok.fire away.
It's comical how this fan base spends over 90% of their time obsessing over offense then wonders why the team doesn't win.
It takes more than just offense. The 21st century Cowboys are still figuring that out, and apparently so is the fan base.
