Dak haters?

A good percentage of people share your opinion. However, pro contracts are not merit based. They are market based. If someone (Jerry Jones) believes a player (Dak Prescott) is worth [fill in the amount], then Prescott will get paid [fill in the amount].

Another quarterback will eventually get paid more than Russell Wilson. It just a matter of time. It may as well be Prescott.

Until mahomes gets a blank check. He will fill in the amount he wants.

In my opinion, the sooner any team's fanbase comes to the realization they are not involved in contract negotiations between owner and player, the better.

Go Cowboys.

Can we pin this?

It’s a message board where we give our opinions. And opinions vary.

I’m neutral on Dak so I have nothing to contribute but as soon as we drafted Lamb one question immediately came to mind.

Those of you who criticize Dak, how do you feel about this pick? In other words, a lot of Dak’s critics use excuses as to why his stats are so good and now we just added a huge weapon that could make him look even better and justify alleged his salary demands. If there was any hope of Dak being exposed, it just went out the window. So are you happy our offense will be unstoppable with Dak at the helm or are you upset that drafting Lamb also meant extending Dak (most likely)?

What?...

I want to see Dak flourish with these weapons.

Ultimately I want to see the Cowboys win a championship. Who’s on the roster and how much they get paid is secondary to me.

Why is it necessary to post this? One has nothing to do with the other. I hear you say you are neutral but you post this and where can it lead, other then to stir the pot?

It seems, we can't even enjoy drafting a good player without somebody trying to create a **** storm. OK then.....

So this is going to hurt the case that the primary reason for Daks success is that the team surrounds him with superior talent?

I can't really disagree with the selection. Best player available and he will strengthen the offensive unit from day one.

As others have mentioned, it depends how the rest of the draft pans out. We badly need some quality in our secondary and need another pass rusher because we can't really rely on Smith/Gregory to get 12-15 sacks between them based on their history. We would then be better placed to judge.

If ultimately the defensive needs have not been addressed - our secondary is horrific right now, then all another first round draft pick on the offense will do is increase the amount of points per game by what 3-5 but we will still lose a bunch of games due to insufficient resources invested in the defense.

So the Prescott lovers will say he did his job and quote the numbers which arguably most starting QBs would achieve in this offense and just blame the defense not factoring in the difference in resources invested into each unit.

On a side note, after the Packers traded up to draft the apparent replacement of Aaron Rodgers - a proper slap in his face given he has carried the franchise for ten years (zero first round picks invested in offensive skill players until last night to replace him!), it makes you understand why players focus on earning as much as they can whilst in the position to do so as often a franchise/owner is ready to ship them on whenever they feel like it.

Fair enough.

As I alluded in an earlier post, the topic will change, due to the sole actions of owner and player, which will prompt anyone within an infinity loop of 'They may pay him HOW much?', to involuntarily transfer their discussions to the waiting and inevitable 'They paid him HOW much?' infinity loop.

Just my opinion. #messageboard

Ultimately we were in a difficult spot when we drafted and couldn't really pass on a player like Lamb.

It's like someone else mentioned, if we didn't have Cooper then it would be sensational. That's not a negative on Cooper as I rate him but you kind of think imagine if we had drafted a defensive player in his position.

I dunno, it’s a public forum where people express their opinions?

Crazy, I know.

No agenda here but you bring up a valid point.
