Carson Wentz Take Note: Dak Calls Out Teammates

Like I said, this team is more obsessed with the name, fame, and power of the Cowboys rather than playing real football for them, hence why we are losing (along with our bad coaching and lack of passion, respect, and inspiration in the locker room, in which this article shows on full display the lack of respect for each other and leadership).

How does it show lack of respect for eachother? Dak is calling out who needs to work harder.

You are going to keep pushing that narrative, aren't you? I didn't say that. I said that Dak has the tangibles and qualities of a leader, and I also said that there are some people (like you said, Witten) in the locker room that like him. But many of the players don't respect him. Like I said, where is the WR support? Shouldn't QB's and WR's get along? What about any of our defensive players? They don't talk to or respect Dak's leadership. It seems that this article may be a possible retaliation against the defense. They don't respect his leadership, so he throws them under the bus and says "They need to try harder, like me? They need to prepare more?, etc".

'Im still trying to figure out this article; If he said this to his teammates in private locker room setting but it was leaked I have no problem with it. But if Dakota made these comments directly to the media, his teammates should have a major issue with it

No need to call people out unless you want this team to turn into the Eagles. What happened the last time an Eagles player called out their starting QB? Oh yeah, they built a shrine of their backup, aka, Nick Foles. This is the same situation except the positions are turned. QB threw the shots this time. If you're calling someone out, you clearly don't respect them or their work ethic. If I complain about my co-worker not doing what they should, I'm showing a lack of respect at that co-worker because they aren't doing what they are supposed to do. Understand? Okay good.

Some of the Dakota apologists have resorted to making this personal concerning ones opinion of Dakota performance. This three game slide has them in meltdown mode and they are lashing out

Exactly what I said. I'm not sure if its satirical or not, but with the way this team and locker room has been acting lately, It's believable. At first I thought it was a mere comparison of Wentz and Dak's leadership skills. Wentz is infamous for not being a locker room favorite, so I thought this article took a shot at making a joke out of that. However, "Wentz take Notes" and the other parts of the article seem to dispute that. Witten and Garrett in the article calling him a "leader" don't seem like they'd belong in a satirical article. It is confusing.

Also, regardless if he said it in a private locker room setting or not, his teammates should still have a problem with their QB possibly calling them out.

it's easier to be a leader during good times than bad times. being a leader isn't a popularity contest. Richard Sherman called out players his last years with the seahawks. wasn't popular, but he was right. he even called out his coach for the pass that was intercepted by the patriots in the superbowl costing the seahawks the game. we have orators on both sides of the ball. but no leaders.

You don't do that to the media. Not even vaguely. A leader takes the responsibility himself to the media and does what needs to be done behind closed doors. Leadership 101

As he should. Run game has been trash. WRs dropping balls consistently. Dumb penalties. None of those things Dak can control. Dak has been the best and most consistent player on the team thru 6 games.

On this team, there are plenty of blame to go around.

shabazz · Oct 18, 2019

Sunday will be a Great Shut up or Put up Day. Dak does have offensive line issues, (like other teams in the league), however hes facing the Eagle 26th ranked pass defense. Should be like playing the Commanders and Dolphins defense again and we can get the sculptors working on that HOF bust again for Canton

you know well and good there are 4-5 Zone members here that Troll or htae on Zeke, Dak, and a few others regularly and relentless in their steadfast arguments..

so why bother trying to convince those they are wrong.. they wont stop its obvious who they are..they wont stop you are feeding the fire.. lol

but i agree Daks simply trying to lead , hype up his players and soemhow its fake lol if he doesnt do it, players have no passion or fire, they gave up..

you cant win...

I think it's a good thing.

So now Ws are a QB stat. When people point out that Dak has a good won-loss record overall or that he is 3-1 in the last 4 games against the Eagles, his detractors say wins are a team stat, not a QB stat. How convenient.

From the article: "Wentz has outplayed Prescott in their four relevant head-to-head meetings -- Wentz’s passer rating is 101.9, Prescott’s is 81.2 -- but Prescott leads the series between them, 3-1."

Prescott has benefited from some solid games from the defense but you'd never know it as folks deflect any blame from Prescott.

Like I've said before: I don't hate Dak, and I think he's a leader. I liked this quote here: "I definitely do it verbally. It’s something I’m always doing at practice. Pushing the tempo. Talking to guys." I just don't think he's properly respected, but here's lies the possible reason why--

Title of the article is "Dak calls out teammates", meaning he is throwing shots at his teammates.

“I always practice hard. More individuals need to do that,” Prescott said. “Just from the outlook of it, just from my eye, I think they do.”
“I think it’s a mental thing. I think it’s some ways guys are preparing. Maybe they need to prepare a little bit more, here and there,” Prescott said.

He's clearly calling someone out, we just don't know who. Also, the only people in the article that "respected" him are Jason Garrett and Jason Witten. I have yet to see the other 51 members of that roster say something about him. This article proves nothing.

Edit: Did you also see this part here? Where he says: "Work harder. Like me." Why would you add in the "Like me" part? How does he know if these people are trying their hardest rather it be barring injury or emotional problems? It kinda makes you look egotistical when you say something like that. Maybe the journalist wrote that in because that doesn't seem like a Dak-Like comment, but whatever.

It looks like Dak has learned a lot from the Red Dolt. He can last a while in Dallas and become very rich if he just continues to follow the HC's lead and blame everyone else.

That's rather unfortunate because I liked Dak a lot. His leadership tangibles were some of the best qualities about him, and he's throwing them away to take shots at his teammates smh.

Vtwin · Oct 18, 2019

Since the dropped pass thing has come up in this thread here's a question relating that to leadership.

Whether classified as catchable or not it really can't be denied that very often the catch is made more difficult by a high or behind ball.

For the sake of team unity with the goal of keeping everybody focused shouldn't the leader take that pressure off the receivers by taking responsibility, deserved or not, through the media? Has Dak done this?

Letting the receivers take all the heat is a surefire way to create division. Taking the heat for them is a surefire way to create unity.

Responsibility always starts and ends at the top as far as what is said to those outside the organization.

Maybe, and this just my opinion, just maybe Ezee and Dak aren't gazing into each others eyes anymore.

And I don't think it has anything to do with Ezee's contract.........

Guess what? If Dak loses on Sunday, all this rah-rah crap means nothing. If Wentz wins on Sunday, his teammates will suddenly think he's the greatest leader they've ever had.

Ws matter more than anything. All this stuff is tabloid BS if you can't execute on Sundays. They have Pederson, we have Garrett - they have the better true leader on their team. Doesn't matter how crappy Wentz is at it.

Guess what? You're misguided and on the Dak hate train! All the rah-rah crap you speak of is a great leader speaking his mind and that is what great leaders do... The question is will the coach put us in a better position to win by not only putting together a great gameplan but motivating the players in believing they're still a great team that can win.

I find it funny that you say "If Wentz wins on Sunday".. Wentz or Dak could win by playing horribly if the rest of the team plays great! It's kind of like saying if Zeke wins which sounds ridiculous.. It's a team game! Dak is speaking his truth and works hard for his team while he continually sees them sleepwalking..
