you just danced around your own statement....but I get it. you have a tough time admiting you maybe wrong or have taken the wrong approach. its ok.
and yes IF he doesn't work out, then we have saddled ourselves...same thing for 31 other teams....its the risk you take and have to take. specially when no one is able to offer any other alternatives that are better than current one. its part of building and putting a team together to have a chance at the ultimate prize. but seemingly you are already going down the path that this will fail....you have avoided offering any other alternatives other than I don't like this one. it says a lot.
and its been 5 years. true. but you seemingly expect to have accomplished a superbowl win and MVP in that time. is that realistic? is it realistic to expect every QB to win an MVP and superbowl in their first 5 years. there is about 2-5 first round QBs that get drafted each year, amounting to 10+ QBs over a 5 year span....I guess they are all nothing but failures...
and you danced around this before....and just to be sure, I am using your logic, but not comparing so dont' go down that path. Peyton Manning went 0-4 and didn't win an MVP in his first 5 seasons. do you consider him a failure? would you not have given him a new contract? would you blame him for team's short comings?
btw, the way Dak started 2020, he was in MVP discussions....he got injured.
my bar is as high as yours. except I am more realistic about it and stick to one logic, not change from post to post and response to response.
btw, regarding Romo not getting his starting job back. I argued then and since then and even this year, that was a mistake. no rookie, no matter how good ever has post season success. it takes experience. given the 2016 team, as good as Dak played, and I was very happy to have found our future QB, I would have given the job back to Romo. his experience would have been more valuable to us, although no gaurantee if we would have beaten GB given how the defense played. but that was a decision that was made by GM most probably, seeing how he made more money selling more #4 Jerseys. I would have moved on from Romo after 2016.
and I don't know when Dak's replacement point is. I know we are not there yet. his time will come as does everybody else. guaranteed. its not about # of years, there is more to it than that....you are again going down the wrong line of argument and logic, which makes zero sense. How many years did Brees get? he got dumped. do you think SD made a mistake letting him go? he didn't set the world on fire in SD. do you think they regret going with Rivers, given his lack of post season success. to that point, should SD moved on from Rivers years earlier before his arm was shot? your approach and logic makes no sense. its just scatter shooting thoughts. Rodgers hasn't had reached the superbowl in 10 years. should GB move on? did they make a mistake sticking with him for so long?
let me be very very very clear. I am not comparing Dak to those guys, so don't get all twisted. but those are examples of other teams and other QBs. similar results and situations...
p.s. MVPs are meaningless to me. they are for the fans. they are subjective and not objective. stat collectors often have a better chance of MVP title.
