I have heard for 4 years about him growing up wanting to play for the Cowboys.

And how he points to the sky to his mom supposedly after each score.

It's all good and makes for great sound bites.

But it is now time for Dak to stop that and step in and agree on his contract and get back to football. Take some more time if you have to, but set a deadline and get it done.

Show the leadership you are going to be paid for soon.

Let's review how you got to this point..

Frankly, if Romo had not gone down..Dak would have been riding the bench the last 4 years as a 4th rd. pick..

He was exceedingly lucky to be a Cowboy.

And doubly luck to be starting. Tripley lucky to have Zeke and the OL he fell into and now the team traded for Amari to help him and getting ready to sign him for mega bucks.

This is all for Dak. Major major commitments being made here with even more coming.

Now a whole staff change has been made to help him win going forward.

And he has not signed yet?

Still we wait on him to show this leadership and wrap it up.

For me, I am not trusting this situation with Dak. Its beginning to have a smell to it.

Not only is he not the player we had hoped for after going on 5 years with him..

but he has more pressure on him now and I have some doubt that he can get the Franchise to the next level and keep us there.

I just have not seen it yet from him.

Maybe he does need to go around and interview with other teams. He needs to know how good Dallas has been to him and still is prepared to step up more.

And while all this plays out for Dak, Dallas has to account to themselves the mistakes of the past when they signed Romo's last contract without the championship wins being delivered by Romo first. Romo never delivered it even though I enjoyed watching.

But the fact is..it never happened.

Dak can not repeat this. But he is close to it already and the team must be wise. Dak really has not stepped up yet like he must.

I have tired of the lack of real effort of Dak's side working towards a conclusion of his contract so he and the team can move on and play ball.

Again, this is bad business to be doing this now after the firing of Garrett. Dak had something to do with Garrett's firing, too.

I know everybody wants to reject that statement.

"No..its was all Garrett's fault".

No. It was not. Dak had some sucky games against the Packers and Rams in the playoffs. He had a poor 2019 and we missed the playoffs. Dak, eat some humble pie, sir.

So while Dak wants money, I want a QB who puts the team first and understands his security comes from winning and building his legend.

Not his bank account.

He is not having any fingers pointed at him now. But if it gets tense after he signs either of the tag designations and the team still underachieves in 2020..

Katie bar the door.

They are not going to be firing more coaches.

Dak will be looking for a new team.

I say give him the Nonexclusive Tag and let's give him his final exam about is he deserving of his big deal after we have it all nailed down.

I am neither a Dak hater or Dak lover. I love the team and its place in sports.

That's it. My only agenda.

So shoot me.

:angry:

Ok.fire away.

It's comical how this fan base spends over 90% of their time obsessing over offense then wonders why the team doesn't win.

It takes more than just offense. The 21st century Cowboys are still figuring that out, and apparently so is the fan base.

Nothing against him or his mom.

Where do you dream that stuff up.?

I was merely pointing out the tendency for players to sometimes confuse what is they are wanting people to know about themselves.

We know he loves his deceased mom.

I love mine, too.

It would also be nice of he would love his team who are making him rich for life..

and appreciate the fans who buy the jerseys and tickets and lead like we need him too.

Aikman appreciates how he QB'd the team.

So did Tony Romo.

I ask for Dak to respect us as he wants us to respect his mom..

with all the loyalty due both.

Sign the contract, Dak.

Stop fooling around.

That's my point.

So, you want Dak to love the Cowboys as he loved his mother.

And show loyalty, based on your definition.

And, without any knowledge of the negotiations between his agent and the team, Dak needs to sign a contract that would make you happy, based on your timetable.

You do realize you lost this argument the moment you felt the need to criticize him for the way he tributes his mom, don’t you?

Dak values himself at 35 mil.
Jerry probably values Dak at 28 mil but offers him 30 mil.
Daks true value is somewhere between 20 and 23 mil.


This deal is never gonna get done. They need to franchise Dak and draft a QB.

mid say the rubber net the road after the eagles loss this past year. If he can’t beat that team while not making any money, especially since he was pretty much playing their B team and the cows were pretty healthy, I’m not sure why anybody would think him getting a pay raise would make our team any better in any way shape or form.

lots of better options out there via the draft or free agency. We could sign a vet for a year and draft one next year. This team is set up pretty well to have cheap qb play for at least 4 years and prob 5, if they don’t Piss is away on dak

JG lost his job on his own. They had this O-Line and drafted Elliot before Dak was drafted. The team needed a #1 WR is why they got Cooper. His mom passed so when he scores he points to the sky. And likely is thanking God. The way he was playing coming in even in preseason before Romo went down he wouldnt have been riding the pine long, either here or on another team.

I do think he is listening and going along with his agent for to long and should have signed by now and maybe getting greedy but this maybe his shot at making his money. We don’t actually know what the offer was from JJ. If the going rate for being a franchise QB is 34-35 then that’s what I would want.

It seems everyone has let Elliot and D-Law off the hook, after they got paid we look to the next to save us money. Those were bad contracts for the team but JJ caved. Maybe that’s why he is supposedly lowballing Dak.

Lots of better options? Nope. People unhappy with Dak think there's some magical fix that awaits. Not true. If we find a better QB, I say sign him today. But I don't see this mythical guy ready to jump in and save the day. Dak is not the worst QB to ever live like some think (not you). We are already competitive with Dak. The offense showed flashes of greatness last year. With improved special teams, defense, coaching and culture, the Cowboys can take that next step, yes, with Dak at the helm.

Yep. I want another Chad Hutchinson / Drew Henson camp comedy battle. Dak haters need that to make them happy.

Why imply a false narrative that any replacement of Dakota has to be another Chad Hutchinson / Drew Henson battle? I suppose an upgrade is out of the realm of possibility for some here.

How does Dak "supposedly" pointing to the sky after each TD to give recognition to his mom have anything to do with he having to get serious about getting this contract deal done?

We get it. You don't like Dak, but why bring his TD recognition for his mom up?

:huh:

He shouldn't be pointing up because Chris Collingsworth told a national audience this year, that Dakota bought his mom a house.

Yeah there's a lot to say to this guy and most of it would get me banned. Something's wrong with him upstairs.

Huh? That makes absolutely no sense. Dak's mom died years ago when he was in college, bro.

Hey Reds I love ya but your obsessing over Dak and his contract like your Jerrys accountant and its going to bankrupt him or ruin the team .

Just chill have some patients and see how this plays out before you cast aspersions ,may surprise you .

We can bench race it to death and the outcome will still be what it is . We have no control , Jerry is the business man with no equal . I leaving it in his deep pockets and capable hands .

Im feeling like its easier to focus on the positives right now , The biggest being Jerry giving our new coach control to build the team as he sees fit and not forcing the friends and family plan on him .

Winning is what you want and what we all want this is the first and most important step to that goal .

It dosent matter what QB we had or at what price a championship was proven impossible to attain with the friends and family plan.

Now we have a chance with a guy who has proven he could do it before and has been given the power to orchestrate his plan not Jerrys

So lets be patient and see just how Dak fits into all this

They may make a pill for that. But I see what your saying. Everyone is pro Dak or totally against him. No in between. If there is blue chip ringer out there then go get him.
