As soon as he got the job he should have been on the phone with key players. Especially the ones with no contract. A phone call takes 5 minutes.
He probably was offended that Dak was not at his press conference, or Dak wants too much $ for his skill set, or he is considering Brady, Brees, or Rivers on a 2 year deal + drafting a QB.

From his QB schools, he seems to like QBs with good footwork. Dak’s footwork gets bad when he is pressured or in a rush.

What did we say about name calling? Imbecile because I share a different opinion than you on Dak? C’mon dude. Why do people get so defensive over Dak? If I don’t like his play style/play level, I can say whatever opinion I want on him. The only fact we have on Dak is that he’s inconsistent.


Dak has had 4 years in the NFL. Why we he suddenly break out in year 5? I get McCarthy has a QB school and all, but we all highly regarded Kitna and though he did change Dak for the first half of the season, he soon regressed back to early 2018 Dak in the latter half of the season. What am I supposed to make of McCarthy being able to change him? Cowboys Break made a good point. Even though McCarthy changed Aaron Rodgers, who many teams passed on, Rodgers was predicted to even be the 1st pick in some drafts at the time, so it’s not like he didn’t have the tools to work with. Dak at his highest was predicted to go 2nd or 3rd. McCarthy has a lot more to work with and change in Dak. Footwork, accuracy, arm, leading receivers, reading defenses, throwing in stride, etc. some of these things will take A LOT of time to change. Not just a year. Unfortunately, with Dak, we don’t have more than a year. You can Franchise a player up to 3 Times, but I doubt Dak would allow that. If he can’t play like he did in the Vikes game consistently for the most this coming season, he needs to hit the road.


Also, you are taking my words out of context again. Again, this is the problem I’m talking about. I’m not saying we’ll draft the next Mahomes, but we can draft someone better than Dak. Everyone here is so afraid of drafting a bust that they actually list that as one of the reasons why to keep Dak. Not because he’s good, not because he consistently plays well, but because we might draft a bust and have no other options. C’mon man.
Dak stopped performing well the latter half of the season? You mean when the team knew their coach wouldn’t be back? Seemed to me a lot of players stopped playing after that. Only ones who seemed to care were Zeke and Dak and lawerence surprisingly. Let’s not forget. Dak is also not paid. So that factored in as well.

If I’m Dak I’d lobby for Kitna to be back. McCarthy May want to have answers as to who the QB coach would be and not risk upsetting Dak by not taking his suggestion. I’m sure once his staffs in place he and Dak will talk.
Well Kitna wasn’t retained, does that mean anything about the future QB or the HC flexing

It’s a well over 90% probability that Dak comes back but anybody that thinks there aren’t internal discussions about moving on and signing one of those veterans is fooling themselves. You have to at least consider that possibility.

Someone is fooling himself alright. We spend time in this little echo chamber and convince ourselves of false realities.

Anyone who thinks the Cowboys are going to let Dak walk in favor of an over-the-hill 40 year old veteran is not based in reality.

The man has assembled a pretty stellar coaching staff this week - he's been busy **, why would he need to call Dak? Has he called Zeke, Tyron, Martin, FredBeard, etc?

No. This is a non-story unless he can call him and get him to sign a f ing contract so we can franchise Amari... If not, he's gone.

I think the real question is, what are you giving up in this “go up and get them” scheme? Also if you say gave up a first or a second to “go up and get them” and the QB turns out to be a mediocre QB or worse a bust, what have you achieved other than drafting a busy and paying through your nose to get that person?
There is always a risk in the draft and the best you can do is use your research and make an educated guess. There are no guarantees on anything.

Dak was consistent with losing, bad mechanics, and not helping to generate TDs for the Cowboys. And he needs to be replaced if he is asking for more than $30M a year. He should get paid $25M a year based on his skill set.

Lol yeh ok. With a receiving core has close to the most drops in the league. Average running game at best. Bad defense that created no takeaways. Worst special teams unit in the league. O and the worst average starting field position of any offense. One drive all season that started in opponent's territory. O yeh and an awful coaching staff. Go watch other qbs and come talk to me. And zero of those things have to do with the QB lol

If Dak wants $40M a year; he needs to create fear in the opposing defenders. He needs to be the focal point of the offense that defenders want to stop or slow down for the opponents can hope to win.

No one fears Dak and thus, they focus on stopping Zeke and the run game and allow Dak to throw the ball between the 20s.

Dak is not good enough to take advantage of mismatches including man to man coverage and against defensive backs off the practice squads or streets.

I know McCarthy is super busy right now but just a quick call to Dak saying as soon as it calms down a bit he and Dak would have a sit down get to know each other meeting would be cordial.
