The game squeezes down as it goes. Of course you want to take advantage of every opportunity, of course many plays effect the outcome.

So you are telling me as a kid you never dreamed of making the game winning shot? We did because....it's a big deal. The best of the best performance in the crisis and heat of the moment. Dak failed on an easy shot.
It's fine...it happens.....just admit it free and clear without all the other noise.

The problem lies where some fans shout "DAK SUCKS!!!" because he missed a key throw in the final drive or in your analogy the last shot. Dismissing the fact that he threw for 375yds and 2 tds because the run wasn't working, calling them empty stats or stats padding. Expecting someone to be perfect, SOLEY based off the money they make is the reason threads like this are made.

No matter how much money Dak makes, he lives rent-free in so many haters' heads.

That was then and this is now. He still got greedy and handcuffed the team and you know it just don't want to admit it. lol

You're not talking about then and now. You are talking about the future. In the future, Dak's salary will be a bargain compared to future salaries of QB's that didn't accomplish half of what Dak has done so far.

With that said, part of the problem is the way in which the Cowboys approach the position. They never made an effort towards an alternative. If the Cowboys had committed to the position by routinely drafting a QB in the top three rounds every 3rd year then they would have been able to create viable competition which could have been leveraged during salary negotiations.

Very true. Who did the Cowboy draft before Dak, I really cannot remember because of all the baseball players and knock offs came thru? lol

The Cowboys would be 4-7 or worse with a QB that had a lower cap hit.

Dak is earing his money, no doubt about that.

I'm curious PD, you clearly are not a Dak fan and would rather we hadn't signed him long term. You equally are not happy at how much finance has been tied up in him but my question is this, IF in the next 4 seasons, Dallas wins a super bowl or two, would you relent and soften your stance towards him or would the hate continue?

If the win it and that is a big if.... The QB won't be the reason

1 Patrick Mahomes $45 million....cool deserves it
2 Josh Allen $43 million....stupid!
3 Dak Prescott $40 million.....stupid 2
4 Deshaun Watson $39 milllion....ridiculous
5 Russell Wilson $35 million.....earned it
T-6 Aaron Rodgers $33.5 million....derserves it
T-6 Jared Goff $33.5 million....mucho stupid
8 Kirk Cousins $33 million...about right
9 Carson Wentz $32 million...little too much
10 Matt Ryan $30 million....perfect

Much like it hasn’t been the qb holding the TEAM back

Well, you're anti-Dak first, so you are just the opposite side of the same coin he is on. I absolutely have no doubt you would rather the Cowboys lose than see them win with Dak at QB.

I would say he is more Cowboys first. Dak's impotence as a QB has nothing to do with him as a person. Love the guy, just not that impressed by what he brings to the field.

We better hope the NFL cap jumps up in a big way or we won't be able to surround him with the cushion of talent to which he has become accustomed.

Yes, this season was always going to be our best shot before losing good players due to the salary cap hits. Granted, the cap will likely increase but so does the market value for players so it becomes even harder to keep certain players.

His cap hit is (2021)17.5m
(2022) 34m, (2023) 45m (2024), 48m with a chance to get out in 2024 that last year.

Can anyone confirm the above is correct?

I kinda wish he would get out now.

From the latest polls that I have seen, close to 1/3 of Cowboys are not really Dak fans. Are all of them trolls and haters? I didn’t frame you with any other words than your own.

Which poll was that? The poll on a forum that only represents the extreme fans that enjoy talking on forums. Even you can see how this doesn’t actually represent real life fans……

it really doesn’t matter. You can’t understand or chose not to understand that this Pappy guy you are now ball riding is a cowboyszone troll. He may not even believe most of what he types. At least he is playing a role here. You are carrying his water. Pretty embarrassing.

It may be wrong to expect him to be perfect all game long.....but is it wrong to expect him to be perfect in that moment? An easy pass...in crunch time....when we need him most.the big money elite qb.

A lot of qbs would roasted.....rightly so
..why does dsk get special treatment.

I wish like hell we could keep him too, and that's especially true given the fact Cooper seems to frequently have nagging injuries he is trying to play through.

Getting up there in years as much as I hate to admit.

The money part us a big deal. That is how you make the big money you make the plays. The harder they are the more you get paid. And you are expected to continue....

It's how it works dude.....come on.
