I understood your post was sarcasm just making the point that regardless of what anyone would like the team is stuck with him for several years.


Gotcha.

Funny enough I was actually one who said that if the cowboys moved on from Dak and drafted a guy, then so be it.


I just like to also point out that playing the QB carousel can also be a miserable affair and the team could struggle to find good QB play for a decade. It’s not so cut and dry as “Dak sucks let’s move on from him” like some here would like to argue.

You can't stop that its a 17 game season thing, because then you would have to start padding other players saying that while they missed some games because of injury they may have played an extra game. And then there is playing someone's backups in the last game using your starters. Also you have to factor in that it is a much easier NFC East this year to prop your stats up.
stop that nonsense nope of those payers played al 17 and the east how about 19 years beating up the AFC EAST FOR BRADY, hes now beating up on a weak nfc division, and other teams have used that scenario. Its not just teh NFC east team which btw has 2 playoff teams in it. you telling me rogers has hard division, who exactly are power houses hes had to play twice year?

who's truly challenging KC of, late? power houses? PB getting to lay cinci and Clevland twice year they were power houses? the ravens just recently had few good years but outside of them not much? how does that differ much from or situation?? dont answer, it doesn't. GB had to beat those power houses in the lions and bears and very average to blah Vikes team we beat with Rush.

use facts not responses from things you hear on media outlets,

stop being toxic negative fan finding a way to belittle this very good season. its not making you all look cool to be "that fa" downplaying an obviously very good season that could be great depending on what we do in the playoffs.,

Fair.
He has a good team around him so it will be interesting how they do in the play offs.

My view is the Cowboys would beat the Cards, Bucs and Eagles if playing them.
I think the 'boys could beat the Rams or Packers but couldn't see them beating both.

It's more about era than anything. He's not half the QB of some of his predecessors.

I have to disagree with that last statement.

I seriously don't get the Dak hate from so many of you. Fellas -- HE'S A FOURTH ROUND DRAFT CHOICE. He's got a decent arm, decent (not great) pocket awareness, and has shown to be a good team leader. Not bad for a 4th round pick. What the heck do you expect? Don't hate on Dak for asking for (and getting) that 40m/year contract.

And by the way, in 2-3 years, Dak's contract will be somewhere near the bottom of the top 10 QB contracts in the NFL. Guess where Dak ranks in terms of QBs in the NFL?

Dak is who we thought he was when drafted in the 4th round...perhaps exceeding expectations. Sure, he's no Burrow or Herbert (first round draft choices, btw), but he doesn't suck either.

Why is this so hard for our fanbase to understand? If you want to move on from Dak, who's your replacement?

Look you want to be a homer and only see the things to make your narrative shine. You are mentioning other teams, and asking questions about weren't those divisions week without further showing your research to support your assertion, The fact is that this division is weaker now than when Romo played. The fact now is that we have 17 games instead of 16 games. You bring up players missing a game from injury to try to somehow compare a 17 game season to a 16 game season, and I try to tell you that you can't do that because in those 16 game seasons people got injured too and you would have to come up with some kind of padding where you would have to add numbers for those players that would have been injured but then came back. The fact is you can't compare a 17 game season to a 16 game seasons just like you couldn't compare a 12 game season to a 16 game one. But if you want to go ahead and live in a fantasy land, go ahead.

first time in the nfl,

dak 4k
zeke 1k
lamb 1k
Diggs 10 ints
Parsons 12 sacks

all missed at least one game or more so stop the its a 17-game nonsense.

#1 overall offense 12-5 playoffs etc etc 6-0 in the division if you can't enjoy this, you need to follow a different team and/or different sport.,.

you would think after 8-8 firing of Garett and 6-10 lost season, this would get you all up and its not and its sad place for sure.
Change your icon back,, I know its a slam on the green turds, but hate seeing the bird when you post.

Neither was Romo. They are both playing in the same era.
Please realize Romo and Dak are functionally equivalent.

Who's toxic here? The person who has to attack the person they are debating with instead of the argument itself?
not an attack, stating facts,, if you are blue and i call you blue, that's an attack?

if it looks like duck, sounds lie duck., its a DUCK!

Wait a minute ..

I was just passing through here in my to the gym and caught notice of something that surely I misread..

Ummm..

did the OP refer to Danny White as the “great Danny White”?

There’s a lot of adjectives I’d use this describe Danny White, but neither “great” nor any synonym of “great” would be on the list lol

I think we gotta ask ourselves this:

•Would prime-Romo put up these stats, or even better, if he were playing with this team?

•Would prime-Aikman put up these stats, or even better, if he were playing with this team?

I think the answer to both of those questions is a resounding yes.

Dak is a solid QB and we are fortunate to have him, but these cross-era comparisons attempting to paint Dak as a better QB than Romo or Aikman, etc, are unsound.

I don’t think it’s an insult to say that, overall, Dak had an average year. Some insanely high levels of performance, and some insanely low ones as well. Every QB does that, though.

Yes, so without the 17 games he wouldn’t have got to play the Eagles backups.

actually, the Cowboys wouldn't have played the Patriots so the Last game would still have been the Eagles...whether it was starters vs. back ups is not known, especially because of Covid protocols, etc.

Dak did not just have an average season. I don't buy that BS from the OP.

Yeah but there is 17 games now for every QB which is why more single season records will be broken.

In a 16 game season had he missed a game it would be 15.

This is simple.

Just like I said in another thread yesterday, Just like 43 years ago when they moved from a 14 game season to 16 games, the season records broken will be talked about in this light for a season or 2 and then will be forgotten and accepted as the records with no consideration for the number of games played....just part of the cycle.

…….true and the backup who never started a single game came in with this offense and threw for 325 yards and 2 TDs……he might have broken some qb records too if he didn’t play Minnesota and was able to play 6 games against NFC East scrub teams
Dak had similar stats against below .500 and above .500 teams

The 2007 offense was not stacked, especially at offensive line.

They fielded the worst third and long numbers of any team in the league, that’s how bad their offensive coordinator and over-rated their run blocking was. Romo was performing at a ridiculous, unsustainable level on third and long, numbers that were among the best in history for a large part of the season.

That’s why the offense struggled at the end of the season. In fact, the Giants playoff game Barber basically ran on the strength of his own legs, break tackle after tackle. The run blocking was complete garbage.

Dak is awful on third and longs. That’s why those state we always hover at the bottom of the league.

People acting like Moore is Garrett have zero clue what they are talking about. Dak is basically managing a Dallas offense that had talent at every position and whose WRs can beat any Db in man coverage, with adequate blocking up front.
