I fear Dak is a Jerry Jones puppet

Miguelitomama · Jan 27, 2022

I think we all wish that Jerry Jones would had the reigns to someone who actually knows how to build a football team. A lot of pieces are there but we have enormous holes in the linebacking corps and the offensive line. We also need a coach who knows to use Tony Pollard and can come up with some more creative run plays than cramming Zeke into a stacked box.

Personally, I believe his leadership is very overrated.

His true colors showed through a lot this year. A leader doesn't blame others (the refs) for their horrible play.

Or sit on the sideline and sulk when the chips are down.

So frustration got the better of him in the playoff game against the 9rs regarding the refs and that underrates his leadership status? He also publically apologized for his comment about the refs.
Can you name other incidents where he did something similar that conclusively diminishes Dak as a solid leader? How is that his true colors showing through a lot this year? Personally,
I think Dak is a very good quarterback but not an elite quarterback. His character is just fine.

Sure.

He got hissy and called people "band wagon fans" at the start of his bad play this year also. Which was called out:

The Cowboys did not hold back about their feelings on the officiating, but not everybody believes the team is handling the loss the right way. Sports Illustrated’s Mike Fisher noted that it is a “bad look” for Prescott to be discussing “bandwagon junk.”

“Dak and many other Cowboys players pulling that ‘bandwagon’ junk regarding fan criticism,” Fisher tweeted on November 25. “Fellas: It’s a bad look. It’s a bottom-line business. You lost. Fans have EVERY RIGHT to feel disappointed, excited, pissed … whatever they want to feel. Deal with it.”

I know you'll say "It's Fisher", but he's right on this on. It's a bad look anytime you call out fans for being frustrated with your play.

He also said “I feel like I’m seeing it fine,” Prescott replied. “I don’t know if y’all differ. It doesn’t really matter to me" toward the end of the season like an arrogant brat when he clearly was playing bad football.

It seems he can't handle the criticism for his bad play so he lashes out like a teenager.

As a poster above said, usually if you're called a "great leader" its to take attention away from your other flaws. It's like being called a "hard worker" or a "gym rat".

Dak is a good standard QB that’s paid like he’s Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes.

Great leader. Solid QB. Terrible value. That’s Dak.

Perfect summary.

To the OP:
No, Dak isn’t a “Jerry puppet”. I don’t think players can be considered puppets since their performance on the field is their own. Jason Garrett was a puppet, for example. He was directly influenced or managed by Jerry.

I understand why those comments, if accurate are not ideal. But the fans aren't suiting up to play football each week in and out, and it's the players that vigorously support Dak and that's on offensive and defense. So perhaps Dak is not the best public or media relations spokesperson but I bet that if you excerpted all the Dak level headed, positive comments that are on record they would far outnumber the critical Dak outtakes you posted.

I just think your comments are a bit harsh and misapplied calling him an underrated leader and that his true colors are showing. Just my opinion and I have no issue with you posting yours. We all have our points of view.

Hater.

Dak has a Master's degree on Workplace leadership.

Why do you think he's such a great leader?

He's more than qualified to lead this organization

He’s not a great leader.He’s personable and says all the right things like a salesman(Jerruh).No wonder why Jerruh loves him.A great leader goes out and leads by example which Dak has certainly not done.

Just out of Jest . "Do the Puppet!"

It's kind of pathetic this 'dance' will in all seriousness be Dak's greatest legacy once he's out of football.

tyke1doe · Jan 27, 2022

I don't even understand what being Jerry's puppet means for a player.
All players serve at the will of the owner. If an owner wants to get rid of a player, he can.
In that sense, every player is an owner's puppet. But most owners know their place.
Jerry doesn't.

This isnt actually a hate on dak thread. This is a different line of thinking. Do you think dak is a puppet of jerry jones? I just wish we could have a QB without jerry putting his hands all over it.

The team is always so entitled and i despise it.

BS.
This is exactly what you intended it to be…another Dak hate thread.

Brady and Mahomes do

No they don't, at least Brady doesn't. He always says they could have done better and has never blames refs for a loss. He might yell at refs during the game but after the game he is respectful and a true leader. Unlike Dak.

cowboyec · Jan 27, 2022

he's not.

Really

The one thing you did say that makes sense is the fact Jerry babies the whole team. Not just Dak. So we are right back where we always are. Jerry is the problem. Not Dak.

In the game or outside of the game. Big difference. Dak whines and complains outside of the game. True beta loser mentality.

If you keep insisting Brady does it outside of the game please find me a clip, post, or sound byte. That was not taught in New England and he spent 20 years there.

I fear Dak is a Jerry Jones puppet
