What was the excuse for not making the playoffs in 2019? Refresh my memory.

Surely wasn't Dak's fault. You can say that in 2017 had Dak played better down then stretch when Zeke went out they should've been in there. But in 2019? You are eluding to it. being Dak's fault?

He went 1-3 in the games he started and finished. Giving him the Giants win when he went down in the 3rd quarter of a tight game is ridiculous.

1-3. His only win being the Falcons brain fart on the onsides kick.
its not ridiculous, because that's how the NFL works....he had the lead and was driving for another TD before he got injured.

when your defense gives up 300 yards rushing...that's probably one of less than 10 games in NFL history....then you have problems on defense that you are not willing to see. when your defense gave up almost 1800 yards in 4 games and total of 150 pts average of 37.5 points per game....trust me, you have defensive issues

A lot is being said about Dak's gaudy stats last year and it is worth visiting those numbers.

In the five games Dak played in, he threw 4 ints and fumbled 3 times. The numerous Cowboy mistakes made them play catch up all/most of the games. Dak threw a lot of passes against bad or prevent defenses last year. He did not have to face the Commanders front 7 either time. The Cowboys went 2-3 in those games needing a miracle to beat the lowly Falcons.

Yes, Dak put up some huge yards in those games. I like Dak, his skill set and his leadership.

With that said, giving him 40 mil per will put this team squarely where it has been. Average.

If the Cowboys can get a first and a third(or more), you need to avoid cap disaster. Dak needs help to win and if anything 2020 proved that.
Thank you for your opinion. The O-line almost got Dak killed. Also, losing Jarwin really hurt Dak's ability to get the ball out under pressure. He never has really developed any chemistry with Dalton Schultz. With better protection from the O-line and having Jarwin back will help Dak a great deal. I think you have never considered any of this and just want to dump on Dak.

7 turnovers in 4.5 games. Is this good? Does that win games? Worth 40 million per?
2 interceptions at the end of the games......desparation throws to the end zone...so 5 turnovers in 5 games.... the fumbles were concerning, but interceptions were expected...when you have no choice but to pass pass pass because your defense is as good as my highschool's defense.....by comparison brady had 3 interceptions in his first 4 games, they went 3-1...why? their defense gave up 34, 17, 10, 31...... given those we would have been 3-1 as well, but not our defense, they gave up 49, 24, 38, 39....

Yeah but you do know that Dak's first few gams were against the Seahawks, Browns and Rams.....as opposed to the trash Dalton faced?

Yes.. And the Falcons..

What I know that you don't I guess is that the Falcons, Browns, and Seahawks were some of the worst teams in the entire league at defending the pass and those pass stats that a lot of you were oh so happy about came because he threw the ball nearly 50 or 60 times against teams that couldn't guard it.

The Rams? They had no problem shutting down the greatest offense ever in the 2nd half when we played them. You know why? Because they don't suck at defense.

Dak is Mr.Turnover esp when he panics in the pocket and looks like a deer in the headlights back there.....
where does he rank compared to the rest of NFL in interception and interception percentage.....if you can't tell me that, then you have no clue.

Scores only 3 pts in the 2 nd half vs the Rams.
Seattle goes up 30-15 and Dak once again shows up in Garbage time!
Browns go up 41-14 can someone tell me where Dak was for the first 3 Q of the game?
Falcons a gift from the Gridiron Gods.
Giants game down 17-3 and ya Dalton won that game!

Next, Please!
thanks for posting....seattle scored 30 points in three quarters......what a defense..

Browns scored 31 points at half time...what a defense

and I guess you fell sleep during the giants game. Dak had the lead and driving down for another easy TD when he got injured....Dalton proceeded to incompetently lose the lead and momentum he was handed.....

next!!!!!

Dak is worth every penny to this dysfunctional organization.

Remember the NFL isn’t just a football league. It’s sports entertainment at the highest level. And no one understands that better than Jethro Jone$.

What a waste of text.....Another GARBAGE Dak Game 24 points in the 4th Quarter.
Browns 3-1 7 24 10 8 49
Cowboys 1-3 14 0 0 24 38
so 300 yards of rushing by cleveland had nothing to do with this.

please show me one game, a single game in entire NFL history that a team won a game after giving up 300 yards of rushing.....I will wait as long as you want...start your googling

Glad you asked.. I keep this handy when people brag about 2019.






So Dak threw for 30 TD's this season. (2019)

16 of his 30 TD's came against 3 of the worst 5 teams in football.

9 of those TD's came in the first 3 weeks against awful teams. (All drafting top 5)

Against teams with a record of .500 or better he threw 11 TD's.

The other 19 came against the weak teams on our schedule and 13 of those 19 came in the first 3 weeks and week 17 against Washington when he threw 4 against a team that was done.

Dallas was also 2-7 against teams with a .500 record or better.

Dak had 4 games this year with no TD passes including our loss to the Jets...


He also had 11 int's... 3 of them came against the teams below .500.. The other 8 came against the teams with a .500 record or better.
I gave you similar stats for Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Wilson....they threw 50% of their TDs against 4 teams and they were some of the worst teams in the league....stats are there for you to look at.

the problem is you insist on looking at Dak stats in a vaccum against some made up standard and ignore that all these other great QBs, had similar percentages...its really easy to pull those out as I did for the ones above

its been proven multiple times that he had better record against winning teams than many of the QBs you idolize....

yup but he collected 32 mil for 4 games and yet zekes 5 lost fumbles and 13 mil he made last year is worse at least zeke played 14 plus games and gave it what he had

so 5 TS in 14/15 games 13 mil

Dak 7 in 4 32 mil
itrs insane the hate zeke gets for those truly just 2 bad games B2B and dak gets off th hook and should get 40 LOL right

It isn't just interceptions, it's the ability to quickly progress through your reads, it's the ability to read defenses consistently and accurately - look at the best QB's they are guys who make the reads quickly, release quickly and move the ball. The best games to observe Dak's play are games (good example is the Rams game from 2020 - 3 whopping points scored by the offense in the second half of that game) where he is facing defenses that are above average. You will see the panic, throwing balls short and behind receivers consistently, and offense that is settling for FG's instead of TD's or in most cases going 3 and out over and over again. Can this team do worse than Dak yes. Can they do better than Dak - ALSO YES. When you boil it down paying a guy who is more in the mold of a Kirk Cousins like an elite QB regardless of what the Houston Texans paid Deshaun Watson is stupid.

Wrong. Anything else?
