Always liked Rich. One of the better interviewers out there.

I am so impressed that Dak came forward and told us the calf injury did not linger. That some people were trying to make that an excuse but in truth, it did not linger and he just didn't play his best ball some of the games after that.

Man, that is impressive. Stand-up guy on that one.

dak could take a crap on the star at midfield and his lovers would say they don't blame him. blah, blah for some stupid made-up reason to justify it.
Dak could win two superbowls, win the MVP and break passing records and his haters would credit everybody else and find the same faults with him to justify their hate.

it truly does go both ways

I do not hate Dak. I liked him when the Cowboys drafted him in fact. However, years later, I want to see results no matter who the quarterback is.

Personally, i think he's a great guy, he's a good leader and a guy you would want to be your franchise quarterback .. that is, if he was winning post-season games.

However, getting paid $40 million a year to watch the playoffs and Super Bowl while working on your personal brand is not something you want to be known for.

As a Cowboys fan, I enjoy rooting for the young guys who are working hard for their second (and first real) contract. Once they get paid though for that effort, it's not about potential any more but about results.

When you take a realistic look at the Cowboys 2021 season, they could have played 17 of the 18 games they played with anyone playing quarterback. Dak got them one extra game that ended in a home loss.

Last season, the Cowboys could have played the 5 games Dak played in without him and still ended the season after 16 games.

Dak being the quarterback of the Cowboys has only added 4 extra games to their seasons since he joined the league in 2016.

In other words, if the Cowboys grabbed any quarterback off the street, even a really bad one, the Cowboys would have played in 97 of the 101 games (96%) the Cowboys have played in since 2016.

And before anyone chimes in bringing up Romo, it was no different with him either.

As I said, I do not hate Dak. But the moment he demanded and got a $40 million per year contract, my expectations are deep post-seasons, not watching the playoffs just like we did when he was getting paid a lot less.
It's kinda hard to believe it's been 6 years!

Zeke is already toast and Dak is halfway through. Good lord!

He certainly can’t afford to have an edge off the field playing QB for an NFL team especially the Cowboys. All players have to walk the straight and narrow off the field. He has an edge on the field you can see the intensity. He sacrifices his body to get a first down when he has to. The problems are with the team around him and the coaching. Our DL and OL need an edge so they can win some key battles in the trenches.

Go read the Chido interview of the difference between Dallas and Cincy. Chido said the Bengals are blue collar. Dallas white collar with glitz. What true Cowboy fan can counter this statement?

This exactly..players who leave here all say.."Its nice to just be in it for football here"...again we keep thinking how 26 years of players regressing and shrinking in big moments that we literally just have 26 years of "The wrong players"...we have 26 years of the wrong something and its not the players.
