Agree with trenches problem but if you think Dak doesn't have any accountability in the losses you are not being honest.
Dak did not quit. Defense quit or actually never showed up.
That is a strawman argument because it is not what I said. I am just not going to hold Dak to a higher standard than every other QB in the playoffs and every other QB in the playoffs had at least 1 bad half. What is unique in that game is that defense put up a performance (6 TDs allowed in the first 7 drives) that no team in the history of the NFL playoffs has won from. That means when assigning blame the overwhelming majority has to go to the unit that was playing so badly no one has ever won from that position meaning the offense could have been playing poorly or great but you still lose.
The Ravens back up quarterback made the pro bowl two seasons ago. Brees was not as highly touted as he was when Sean Payton got his hands on him.
Definitely. There’s no question about that. Dak will make any fringe team a playoff team. The question is can Dak be the catalyst for a team to be successful in the playoffs.
Pretty sure our defense was also 2-5 during the same time frame.
Is that really saying much? The steelers would probably be a playoff team with Baker Mayfield too. But both need a much better team around them to go further.
Every QB needs a better team around them to go forward. When are people going to wake up.
I agree. My point is anyone who says Dak “sucks” is wrong. That’s too simple and lazy. If he sucked he couldn’t lead the league in TD passes. If anyone says the Cowboys playoff performances are completely on the defense then that is wrong. Again simple and lazy.
He didn’t really make the pro bowl. He was the 6th alternate and the others all passed. Drew Brees ACTUALLY made the pro bowl. So yes Brees was an actual pro bowl level QB who had the Chargers in an awkward position of unable to actually play Philip Rivers because of how good he became suddenly year 4.
“set him up to fail”…why should this season be any different? Jerry Jones sets the Cowboys up to fail every season. He can do it with any quarterback.
What entity would insure a Cowboys quarterback for $200 million? Dak will play like a guy employed by Jerry Jones. Because he is. So will CeeDee. So will Micah. Like everyone else in this world, Jerry is going to get what he pays for.
Not he doesn't, not even close. You want him too, that's different. We don't have higher pedigree at the those positions, not even close. Trey is a top 3 pick, he's 23 and raw. We don't have a top WR or LB early draft pick in the shadows.
Trey is not a QB. He is an athlete. Dude has 400 passing attempts including college. Give me a break.
saying no is not having leverage. What many on here refuse to understand is how the word leverage is used. If Jerry really really badly wants Dak, and if Dak knows this, Dak has all the leverage in the world to hold out for what he wants. It is becoming clear that Jerry may not want Dak, and is willing to eat what is left of his albatross contract. This may not mean the Cowboys have leverage over him, but they sure can let him stew over not getting extended. Really, if they want to put the screws to him they can sit him and see what Trey has, if anything. This would devalue any future contract Dak would get on the open market in 2025
You state very well the obvious that many cannot comprehend. Whether or not Trey can play is not the issue, Jerry sent a message when he traded for him and we can argue till the cows come home if this is a message or a grasp at straws.
