If they all had his approach they'd be even more annoying. The problem with the whole "no more talking" bs is that people fail to realize that the other teams get paid to play too. This belief that the Cowboys are just going to show & prove is not realistic, and I think they're going to fall hard in CHI this week which will pretty much seal Garrett's fate.

So what would be a satisfactory response from Dak when he's being asked about our current situation? How would you prefer he approach the game?

The use of the term bandwagon is a clue as to the mindset of these guys. It seems like they think any criticism are from bandwagon fans who jump ship at the slightest bump in the road rather than from fans who have seen this same lack of heart, coaching, and mistakes over and over for more than 20 years.

They seem to feel entitled to worship rather than having to earn it from actually accomplishing something other than winning the worst division in the League.

Dak was saying the right things up until that point. Regardless, I bet it changes nothing. There are too few players with the self-motivation and heart on the team to make the difference. This team will crash and burn fast in the playoffs. (Not from lack of effort on Dak's part, though. Dude is pouring his heart into this)

Don't see anything wrong with what Dak said. He's seemed to have broken the Garrett protocol and had actually pointed words for once. Maybe he senses the BS he's been fed by the unqualified coaching staff he's played under for 4 seasons?

"If you’re a young guy looking for somebody to figure it out how to do it, yeah, look at me and some of these other guys because that’s exactly what we’re doing,"...

So don't go to coaching , to figure it out ?

Wow .

I told you all, I reported the many incidents on Dak, he's losing it.

Here's the latest on Dak

Meanwhile......


In the parking lot of a petting zoo in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Dak sits in his Bugatti Veyron 16.4, taking a sip of alcohol after the loss, so potent that it could take down a full male grown T-Rex with just a few sips of the bottle

Right as he is about to take his third sip, he hears a knock at the window.

He is startled by the knock and drops his bottle in the center console of his car, breaking the bottle

Dak's eyes become bloodshot red with anger

He looks outside the window and sees a meter cop writing him a ticket

He exits the car angrily and says

"What the heck are you doing?"

The meter cop takes off his aviator sunglasses and says

"This car has been parked here illegally sir, im writing you a ticket and if the car is still here by tomorrow im going to have it towed"

The man throws the ticket in Dak's face and walks away.

Dak cannot believe the nerve of this man, how dare he come to his car and write him a ticket?

Dak takes a deep breath and waits for the man to walk back to the petting zoo.

He puts on a disguise, a fake beard, wig and trench coat and follows the man.

Inside the petting zoo, children are petting Llamas and having a good time smiling and laughing. Dak walks up, trying to be inconspicuous and says

"Hello children"

In a fake accent as he pets a Llama, keeping his eyes trained on the meter cop, who is standing next to the Emu exhibit. The children are worried and scared as they slowly back away from what appears to be Master Splinter wearing Groucho Marx mustache glasses

Suddenly, Dak's petting becomes more and more violent as he is on a very potent of alcohol and isnt paying attention.

The Llama bites Dak's hand.

"You stupid idiot!"

He says as he Slaps the Llama in the face.

The children begin crying and running for their lives.

The meter cop turns around to sees Dak standing over a cowering Llama

Dak's cover is blown( or so he thinks) and he runs toward the man, face red, eyes bloodshot.

The man runs for his life. Dak jumps on the back of an Emu and a high speed chase ensues.

Dak catches the man, shoves the ticket in his mouth and slaps him 3 times unconscious.

Dak reaches into the mans pockets to grab the ticket book, so he can burn it and destroy any evidence of the ticket. As he grabs the book, a piece of paper falls out. It says:

"Application For Cowboys Water Boy"

The mans cell phone begins to ring. Dak picks up the phone and a familiar voice begins to speak. Its his manager congratulating the man on getting the job.

Dak hangs up the phone, takes a sip of the bottle, jumps back on the emu and rides off into the sunset as police sirens are heard approaching the petting zoo.



Dak is so immature.

Listen to what you said! You said we've been listening to the same speech for 10 years. Did it occur to you that Garrett has been here that long basically? He is the common denominator and the issue not Dak..
Dak is a model citizen and very coachable. Always remember it takes a team and a complete effort to win! Chiefs were a high flying offense last year but that wasn't enough and why do you think that is? Yep, because it's a team game.
I wasn't assigning blame to anyone. Only that the speech has been around 10 years. Let's see the fire on the field and the sidelines. Not standing behind the podium.

I appreciate his fire. You can’t tell me you haven’t noticed he’s been improving...

I like his fire. I hope he lets his teammates have it when they screw up or just half-*** it. He's still making some mistakes he shouldn't (because he feels he has to do too much with this turkey crew). However, he shouldn't even be talking about the fans as if they are some enemy. He should be focusing all of that fire toward his slacking teammates and opponents.

Exactly. Like Aikman, I want this fire on the sidelines. With all that adrenaline rushing during the game, he should have plenty of fire to go off on his slacking teammates. I will be ever so grateful if he elevates to that level of leadership.

The irony.....


===

FRISCO -- The Cowboys have been open about their frustrations. The players have spoken about their need to perform better. Immediately.

Dak Prescott believes the time for talking is done.

“Talk is cheap, right," the quarterback said Monday afternoon. “We’ve talked a lot. We’ve talked a bunch and got ourselves right to where we are.

“In a moment like this I say, ‘hell with the talking. I’m going to do more. I’m going to work harder.’

“If you’re a young guy looking for somebody to figure it out, how to do it, yeah, look at me and some of these other guys because that’s exactly what we’re doing,"
he continued. “Putting our head down, focusing and doubling down on ourselves."


Prescott delivered a message similar to this during the team’s walk through. He doesn’t mind being vocal, but believes it’s more important to lead by example when a team is struggling.

What about a fiery speech, like the kind veteran defensive lineman Michael Bennett delivered in the wake of the team’s loss to Buffalo on Thanksgiving?

“They have their times," Prescott said. “But if you need to be fired up at 6-6, this isn’t the locker room for you."

The Cowboys lost two games in five days last week and watched their odds of winning the NFC East improve. Prescott understands the team is fortunate to be in this position heading into the final month of the regular season and understands the skepticism outside of The Star.

“All this does being in this position is add to the doubters," Prescott said. “That should allow the chip on the shoulder to grow.

“Get the people off the bandwagon and know it’s about us. The people in this locker room that have to go out there and execute. It just allows us, this locker room, to get tighter."
Let your playing do your talking

This criticism of Dak will never make sense to me. Every QB in the league except Mayfield talk to the media in cliches and give them decent sized answers, it’s just what’s expected from the QB1. If Dak’s HC was Jerry Glanville he’d still talk the same in his press conferences. Go back to his MSU post games he dresses and talks the exact same, it’s just Dak.

Hey ...

I know, Dak is super immature. His stories are weird. Especially his " I'm done talking" but he keeps talking.

He's losing it.

:lmao:

#DontpayDak

That mega-deal seems like a miracle scenario now for Dak.
By the time the Bears and Rams get done with him, he won't be worth a rookie deal dollars!
Beating up lousy defenses ain't even fooling the Jones boys and there about the worst FO in the NFL!
