After reviewing this fiasco, can anyone tell me why Dak and Micah expect big paydays?

A sure thing? Did you watch the game above? The only thing that I am sure of is that this guy is not getting any better once he signs his next contract. At least a trade gives us a chance.
Don't under estimate what a new coaching staff can do....Quinn didn't coach him. He just used his athleticism to send him and pad stats for his new job. I'd rather see his growth before I give up on him

Just another excuse IMHO. This is the kind of thing you keep telling yourself over and over because facing the truth is just too painful. All the coaching in the world doesn't fix what was broken in that game.
I did not in any fashion state that this is the reason for the failures, I said it plays a bigger factor than we want to admit or talk about. Look no further than the below examples of coaches who hinder their teams development:

Andy Reid- Does NOT have the bodies on his team that MM and mannnnny others do, yet here we are. Sure he has Patty, but the man is a hall of fame coach that every team would love to have

Nick S- Do you think the iggles wouldn't benefit from having this clown troll the sidelines of another NFL team? He ha set back that franchise for years

Tomlin- Keeping the Steelers competitive as much as he can with little help from ownership

Riverboat Ron- Any team he has coached has suffered from his inability to coach

Chargers- Brandon S? Really? Harbaugh has lost players at every position, has his QB hurt again yet we all know what the end result will be with the Chargers in the next couple of years

I can go on all day about the importance of coaching in any Sport, and although this Cowboys team cannot fully blame JG/KM/MM, do not tell me they have not played major factors in our failures

I guess I just don't believe this to be the case. Quinn tried to coach him up. All his coaches his entire career have tried. There is no coaching him. There is only what you said above. Send him out there and let his ungodly athleticism take over. This will carry you a long way but eventually a team will match that and he will crumble. He is the DE version of Dez Bryant.

We had a good enough coaching staff to succeed last year. Those players completely failed in that game and gave up. It was 100% a failure to perform.

Doesn’t matter. All pro means you are playing at the best of the best. Top 2 at your position…..
Top 2 at their position under a very strict set of conditions. Parsons was probably the 3rd best DE on the team against Green Bay and the 5th best DE on the field that day. Absolute no show. All pro SHH.

I had a school Superintendent tell me once, You can't save them all, Coach. I told him, that doesn't mean I can't try. Just the old caoch in me, I guess

All Pro isn’t based on one playoff game unfortunately.

I hear you and heck maybe I am gonna be proven wrong. Maybe he and Zimmer mind meld like Ray Lewis and Marvin Lewis. I just don't think so. Time goes by very quickly and IMHO Parsons is moving farther away from where you would hope he would be not moving closer to it. I have seen enough and I would move to change but I know that will never happen. He will be extended. He will be made the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. He will not have to answer to the coaching staff. He will wear the Jerry Jones special cloak of protection. Will this end well in terms of playoff success? I sincerely doubt it. Will it sell tickets? Heck yes.

People in here legit don’t understand how market value of contracts work
People in here also don't understand how worthless it is to pay top 3 contracts to a bunch of players who can't deliver playoff success. You shouldn't have to pay a guy $4 million a game just because he's been here a long time.

Yes it does matter. That’s why they’re classified as 2nd team all pros not 1st team. It’s an accomplishment but not at the same level, so it’s disingenuous to remove the label because it takes away necessary information.

BTW, CeeDee was 1st team all pro.

Prescott had 0 passing yards in the 1st. Should have been picked THREE times.

Pathetic for a so called franchise quarterback.

Quinn coached an awful game. The defense couldn’t stop a college team.

God I miss the Cowboys teams I revered.
yet everyone that claims DAK is that guy will use every excuse possible and never speak of that GB first half because its a team game...can't win and lose off 1 player, especially the one that has his hand on the ball every offensive play.

Yes, Micah was double-teamed. Yes, he stood around for much of the game.
Dak, when not throwing picks, was losing yardage near the sidelines. Never learned to quick-release the ball.

It’s not results that counts, it’s marketing that drives it, better to have a relevant product even though it’s inferior, thus all Jerry’s guys will get paid again and it’s the the way it is

I disagree. MM still cannot manage a clock and timeouts, and DQ showed an inability to make adjustments in his scheme when necessary. He hasn't utilized Micah to his skill set, and on and on. Has MM done enough with Dak to correct his deficiencies? Of course blame goes all around, but there is a reason MM will be gone after this year, and a good reason why KM can't stick at a job ie. this entire franchise is a mess as I have been stating daily

Disengous to those who don’t like Dak. Because no one else does this. If Dak gets MVP votes let’s see how many first place votes he got…..he’s a all pro let’s dissect and differentiate between first and second place all pro.

When I say it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter in the context of being an all pro. Second team means you were the second best player at qb last year.

The point was all pros get paid. You don’t have to like it but it’s what happens.

Clock management and time outs? Get outta here with that. Green bay had to pull the starters before half time.

Hasn't utilized Micah to his fullest???? The entire game plan is to allow him to accumulate sack and pressures. He leads the league in this. What more do you want?

Correct Daks deficiencies? Dude is 31 years old and is about to be the highest paid player in NFL history.

I am sorry but for me you gotta do better than this.
