I'm not saying Dak is better than Mahomes

very true. the extremes always tend to dominate and they ruin it for anyone not living in those extremes they like to be at.

and sad thing, its the exact same thing they rehash over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again
"They" rehash over and over?

LOL. This is what makes you so special.

"They" he says.... lololol.

It's FOR the trees not through the trees.
Well thanks for looking it up. But if you were half as smart as you think you are...you would have referenced the original material quote.
“from him who sees no wood for trees/ And yet is busie as the bees/ From him that’s settled on his lees/ And speaketh not without his fees”.

I didn't look it up, it's a common phrase you STILL misquoted. But yeah, half as smart. Troll someone else.
"huh"? indeed.

What is it you object to? Why are we even here? Do you remember? What hast thou said haters spoketh which fills thee with rage?
Because.

Seems like a waste of time, but if those participating are getting something out of it, good for them.
I frankly just don't get it.
its the slow time of year. us cowboys fan always have somebody on the team to argue about and take sides. we don't get to argue about our score in the superbowl, or it was oh so close in CFG. we have our own players to bash and cry in our drinks over the misery of being a cowboys fan for the past 25 years. before Dak it was Romo, before Romo it was Parcells, etc. there is always something.

oh, we haven't hit July yet, where is zero football of any kind and this forum will go nuts.

This is just one of the many earlier in the thread. Mahomes is a "choke artist" because of the 2nd half of the Super Bowl. Yes, the Super Bowl.
Can't agree, I would take several other QB's over Dak including Mahomes.
Wait !, you got me sucked into this thread!
It's like the Hotel California you can check out anytime you want, you just cant never leave!

You originally said THROUGH the trees, not FOR the trees. But yeah, go on & on spewing lectures. I'm out, you win! If you continue to quote me with nonsense I'll just block you, it's annoying **. MUCH to do about nothing.

Dak has played with an O-line that had three 1st team all-pro's on it and did nothing with it.

Just to clarify, what year was that? 2016?

Oh I get it, a 4th round rookie qb that got essentially zero time with the first team receivers until the season started should have won the SB! Of course no rookie NFL quarterback has ever done that, Dak should have?

And did "nothing" with it? 13-3 record, best in the NFC by two games is nothing, right, again, I get it.

Dak is far from perfect, he has his faults, but anybody can just blithely ignore common sense and bash a player for not winning a SB. Talk about nothing, that is truly nothing...

Smith, Fredrick, and Martin was also on the 2017 and 2019 teams together.

13-3 means squat when it ends with zero playoff wins.

Miss me with the participation trophy stuff.

Frederick, Smith and Martin played together in 2016, 2017 and 2019 did they not? Most quarterbacks won't get to play with an o line like that for their entire career let alone three of their first four seasons.

In reality, Prescott wasn't exposed to an expansive playbook for the reasons you stated. He was very efficient and did a sterling job but let's not make out he joined the Jets or Lions. He joined the best offense a rookie QB could have dreamed of.

it does. a year later and he is top 6, not top 2....that's the complexity of it all. and its supply and demand. if Rodgers, mahomes, Stafford, Dak were available at the same time. I gaurantee you that Dak wouldn't be in top 2 in contracts. he would be 4th in that group (Disclaimer: just to make sure a few don't go crazy, I don't mean he is top 4....just for this example for clarification.

All I was talking about was market value. Did Dak receive market value for a top QB at the time of signing? Within a few million? The answer is yes. Kyler Murray is going to want what Burrow and Herbert get, within a few million. Or lets say, over 40M a year.
