Dak is better than his 8 and 8 record says he is

Quit saying Dak did this or Dak did that... Bottom line, just because Dak doesn't throw a completion doesn't make it all his fault. Sometimes a QB's vision is compromised, sometimes the receivers are lazy and not getting open. Sometimes the online sucks.. Dak is not a problem, he is an asset..

He was an asset. Now that asset is asking for money and it no longer makes him an asset unless you’re interested in marketing and jersey sells and not winning a Lombardi.

Please offer a lost of those games and reasons you think Dak lost them, if you'd be so kind. Then juxtapose those to games lost when Romo was under center and the entire Cowboy nation here blamed it on the defense.

I'd very much be delighted to read this treatise by you.
Who had this one on their Dak slobberer bingo card to somehow magically try to inject a QB who hasn’t taken a meaningful snap in five years into this? The anger and frustration of Dak slobberers is very real.

The Cowboys had the worst starting field position in the NFL. Dead last. The QB has no control over that. It just makes his job harder.

"Look what Mahomes did in the 4th quarter of the SB!"

He doesn't lead that comeback without his defense getting him the ball back three times. If the Niners grind 6 minutes off the clock or score another TD there's nothing he can do but watch.

Wins and losses aren't just about the QB.

^^^^^ this x 1000

At a 2.1 cap hit in 2019 he was a value and an asset.

At a projected 33 in 2020 that's 3 bodies that could help sure up the defense.

For that cost he's got to be a LOT better than he's EVER shown.

Like tons better.

I don't think he can sustain being "a lot better" over the course of a 5-6 year deal.

Along with coaching, special teams, and offensive drops, this is why Dallas under-performed.

The difference is Romo was trying to go win games and Dak is trying not to lose them.

Still though... Romo getting paid like he had won a Super Bowl pretty much ruined any chance we had at winning a Super Bowl because our only way to acquire good players was in the draft and the team suffered.

It was more than that........Romo was the team. He held it together and made average players look a lot better. And we saw that going from 13-3 in 2014 to 4-12 in 2015 when Romo went down. Romo literally played on teams with 4-12 talent and he was the difference.

So apparently you're not a business man I would assume... Do you realize we got an incredible value for 4 years on a cheap rookie later round contract? Could you imagine working for a company on a deal for 4 years and being one of the most high profiled worker only to not get valued for what you were contributing?

Dak has every right to go out and get what the market value is for his services. If you look at what Wentz and Cousins got and where things are going I think he is deserving of some very nice money. As soon as you said you can't win a super bowl with Dak let me know just how biased on unrealistic you really are. In real life, face to face I would absolutely abolish you in a debate.

Last year Dak was 8 and 8 as the starter. Special teams and kicker cost us a game or two. Coaching cost us a game or two.

Zeke’s fumble/nonfumble cost us a game. Amari’s deflected pass cost us a game. The two phantom tripping calls on Tyron cost us a game.

Dak is an 11/12 win QB a year with a decent supporting cast. That’s top shelf year in and year out and he has upside.
We are also in the worst division in football. So that doesn't help his case.

You also can't say all those things cost us games. They may have ultimately decided them in some instances, but if they don't happen, there's no guarantee the end result would have been different.

My biggest problem is he no longer elevates his play in crunch time. His rookie year, he was clutch. This past year, he and the team seemed to always come up short in the key moments. Not all on him, but I would take Wilson all day over dak. That's the type of money dak is wanting.

The thing is, he gambled on himself and lost. Now deal with it and take the $33mil/year.

Spare us this Internet "toxic" overused bs. When you people go I to a Dak praise thread with this same bs I'll believe y'all truly are about this "team" concept junk but until heck outta here.
Lol are you following me around now kiddo? Why so angry?

Somebody give this guy a hug...he's so upset that he has become irrational! C'mere buddy, arms open for an internet hug.

I would love for him to go out there and get his market value.. Let's see what the market is willing to pay him.

Following you around? The heck are you talking about? Where is the proof of anger? I know y’all learned these junk tactics from watching too much tv but you can’t claim something and have no proof to back it up. Posted words don’t convey anger they are just words typed down. Make sense when you post.

We weren’t satisfied without more success with Romo. Not sure why we are with Dak?

The greatest statement with the Chiefs is they had a decent QB in Smith that Reid traded for when he took over and was enough to turn the franchise around to win the division. But after a few years Reid wanted more. At what point will Cowboy fans want more?

We’re about to lose one of the better corners in football because we value mediocre QB play, the RB position, and WR.

We need a lot of luck in the draft to get the defense we need.

Quality QB play for cheap, Quality coaching, and Elite defense are what win Superbowls and you need at least 2 of the 3.
They don’t value mediocre QB play. They value great QB play.
