I disagree they do not care. IMO they struggle putting a defense together.

Exactly. If they didn't care, they wouldn't have traded up to get Mo Claiborne. They care. They just sucked at picking defensive players past 9 years.

If the pay Dak forget the good defense

The Chiefs paid Mahomes and their defense is rocking. The Rams paid Goff and their defense was rocking. The Steelers and Colts paid their QBs and their defenses were top 10. Shall I go on?

Soooooo...we might want to get a good QB someday...might be something to that

Paying a middle of line QB like Dak wont let us build a good defense to compensate

At some point the Cowboys need to bite the bullet again and use 1st round draft pick for franchise QB (see Aikman). They fell in love with using marginal assets to fill QB position after landing undrafted Tony Romo and then Dak in 4th. In this current NFL, if you don't have QB who can carry team for stretches of season then you really have nothing. Philly and Rams will be marginalized for atleast 4 years due to not getting their QB right. I think those two teams are giving Jerry pause with Dak.

Dak was leading the league in passing by a country mile when he got hurt and our defense was ranked 32nd so yes logic dictates we replace Dak.

Wait what?!?! :huh:

This just goes to show the effect a very good QB has on the success of his team in a passing era! ;)

I agree Dak is not elite , but won’t downgrade to mediocre , since after his injury our offensive production dropped sharply.

Regarding scoring points when it counts , he did it in the 1st 2 years , when the OL was ok and defense was average. Last 2 years defense is laughable and OL is not consistent ( this year we had so many problems in OL beacuse of the double whammy at tackle )

so moral of the story , even Tom Brady cant succeed without good supporting cast and good defenses to get the ball back when it counts.

At the same time , my wish list - Dak if he can improve his progressions faster , improve his throwing mechanics and can run without fear of contract hanging over his head will help tremendously.

just my opinion,

Our production dropped. But not in the last games when Dalton finally got acclimated.

The problem i have with Dak is that we wont be able to win a SB with him.

To me he is a below average QB. That means he cant win the big game even if supported by the greatest talent around him.

We can give him 4 mils a year as a backup but should not sign him as a starter. Let other teams have him.
