I am weary of people continuing to go after Dak even after two brilliant games. Let it rest. Your true colors are showing. You are a non fan. Please stay off the bandwagon. The Cowboys are awfully good. And are going to win a lot of games. You don't get to nonsensically attack someone and then start liking them.

Please clarify some things for me...

1. Two games is the standard of whether a player is good now?
2. You get to decide who gets to like a player and when?
3. You get to decide who is or who isn't a fan, and of course, they must agree with you?
4. You are the arbiter of what is or is not a "nonsensical attack?"
5. You don't want people to be critical of Dak, but then you also don't want them to be change their minds and praise him?
6. This all makes sense to you?
7. Who is going after Dak, right now?

I blame people like the person you quoted being in too much online them vs us madness. That’s all I can come up with that has fans every good Dak has throwing mainly echo chamber parties like they are Dak fans instead of fans of the Cowboys. If Dak played this good most of the games he wouldn’t be this polarizing period. If he keeps this up for some time it will be like after his rookie year when it wasn’t much complaining. Sad thing is too many people can only function with nothing but echo chamber talk and it’s quite sad.

One thing you guys have to learn about hate. You can't change a persons mind, so ignore them. My life has been enriched by this ignore feature.

Its been impressive. I was ready to move along after those 1st 7 games last year. He's seeing the whole field and the game has slowed down for him. Think the only thing he missed was Witten wide open in the end zone and he went underneath. With Zeke getting in sync with the ol and them scoring on 5 straight drives 2 weeks in a row this team is going to be hard to beat!

By the time Witten was open he was already pressured and letting the ball loose...No QBs making that throw to Witten expecting his old slow butt to be so wide open.

You need to re read my post. You missed the whole point. Plenty were going after him today. I have already explained above.

I think that if you are able to look at this game, if you get an opportunity to review the all 22, you will see that Dak made some mistakes in this game. It was not a terrible game by any means but there are certainly things to work on in this game. Dak came down to earth a little bit but that's not a bad thing IMO.

True, but that is the case with most of the QBs in the league. Wentz made a ton of mistakes tonight and last week, and Goff although they got the win, missed a few throws and players for big gains.

He's definitely improved.

I get to nonsensically attack someone and then start liking them cause I'm bipolar. So I like/hate your post cause it was brilliant/ignorant.

As do all QBs... Even the elite ones... Yet we are hypersensitive about the mistakes are QB makes while making excuses for other teams QBs (cough, cough. Wentz).

For normies it is. But for people like this, if you ever make a mistake, you are married to it forever. Sad but many people won't allow others to grow. Heck I was wrong about Dak and I converted. Dak has proven he is good. It would be ignorant to keep thinking he wasn't. So for all that is good, allow people to come around in their time. When they do, give them a attaboy.

Problem is there is a handful so overly invested in the negative they will never come around and have made it there lifes mission to stay within the rules but poison the forum with there negativity no matter how good Dak performs They have made too many negative predictions and are following it through to the bitter end .

With no help from the MODS in sight looks like what could be a really bright entertaining season will be continually tainted by this rogue group

Personally I don't expect perfection, what I expect is Dak leading this team and making plays to help his team win. Dak looks very comfortable running this offense and has been putting up the points. Dallas did not just beat NY and Wash, they dominated them and I have not seen them executing like this in a while. Cowboys in past season have shot themselves in the foot and games like these went down to the wire

We have looked very much prepared in these last 2 games very refreshing

I wonder how many fans have to get their eyes checked and need glasses. You know, after saying their eye test says he sucks.

Dak sux. Only 2 games in and he has already thrown 11 passes that weren't completed. We've punted 6 times in 2 games. Drive after drive stalls once we get into the endzone.

Watched Elite Matt Ryan overthrow 2 TDs in a row last night

Dak is the only QB that has to throw every pass on a rope.

Now I am beginning to understand how we are losing our free speech in this country. People like this poster actually believe this. Wow. But just for giggles, people can "supposedly" say whatever they want whether we like it or not.

Wrong. Everyone has a right to say anything they want(besides yelling fire...) no matter how stupid or nonsensical it sounds.

And those that think it is stupid have the right to ridicule that speech and or the person that said it.

Take a look at the internet and I’m sure you’ll see evidence of more free speech than at any other time in history.

are you kidding us? the new threads like yours here where you are attacking people who have said anything you deem negative about Dak outnumber the actual threads putting him down about 10 to 1
YOU PEOPLE need to give it the rest, you are polluting this group. If you see someone being a so-called "hater" respond to their comment then and there. Stop with the new threads like this.

mods should do something

Are you asking for a safe space to be created?

Interesting.

you could start by answering the questions, have you reread your OP, if not you should.

Yes "not a terrible game" is one way to describe it. Another more accurate way would be to say he was fantastic, but suit yourself.

You can say that but if you break it down, I think you would see that it was not one of his best games. I don't hate on Dak but I also don't puff the goods. I try to be as honest as I can. I'll leave it to everybody to come to their own conclusions.
