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

[TheMarathonContinues]

Trading Parsons is a franchise changing opportunity but he generates the clicks for Jerry and that is what really matters.

Its franchise changing until the Cowboys get a trash pick and now everyone is upset.

 

[MyFairLady]

It'll be franchise changing for the team that gets Parsons.

Yeah you are right it probably will be. He would be going to a team on the verge of winning. He would be going to a team that will demand effort and preparation from him. He will be going to a team that will have leadership in place that will hold him accountable. He would be spectacular and would probably win a super bowl.

That is not happening here. Open your eyes. Perhaps it would be exactly what both teams need.

Dak wants to get paid without having to actually earn it. I would have no problem paying him if he had more playoff success, but he's a proven choker and playoff loser.

He’s had more playoff success than three of the QBs that just got paid a lot more money. There’s several QBs making more than him that haven’t had playoff success. Tua and Kyler Murray are making more than him and both are 0-1 in the playoffs. What’s been proven is the Cowboys and their defense choke in the playoffs.

 

[JBS]

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.

Never said pay him. That isn’t the argument. I said let him go.

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.

MM's clock issues go way beyond one instance or one game this is a general issue with the guy since he's been here. Yes Micah is paid to and asked to do just what you mention, but there is more to Micah to how he has been used and there is a damn good reason why he wears down as the season goes on don't ya think? This is not a knock on Micah it's an indictment on his usage as I stated and yes he deserves the payday he will get from us. If I need to explain what Dadk is good at and what he is not good at, we are in trouble. You do not make a QB with his track record the highest paid player in NFL history, no matter what the stats show. You can side with the Dak lovers, or side with the Dallas Cowboy lovers who have suffered the last 3 decades

Has Dak's playoff failures been proven??? Pretty sure it has.

Dak wants to get paid without having to actually earn it. I would have no problem paying him if he had more playoff success, but he's a proven choker and playoff loser. Worst of all he's a me first type of person who doesn't give 2 spits about how an obnoxious contract will cause problems with the construction of the team. Jerry really needs to let him go in free agency next off season, but I have a bad feeling he will cave.

Parsons - he wants paid, plain and simple, and he is showing all the signs that he will become a ghost before the ink dries on his contract. The smart move would be to trade him for high picks, but Jerry approaches roster construction with his emotions rather than a business mindset.

Dak Prescott knows he will be paid no more than one of the 32 franchise owners is willing to pay him. Quarterbacks do not decide how much they’re worth. He’ll sign the offer he likes the most. If it is “market setting” it will be some team the sets it, not Dak. This idea that Dak should do Jerry Jones a solid and accept less than other quarterbacks are signing for is asinine. When Jerry was paying him $40 million per year he didn’t aggressively go out and sign players in an effort to make the team better. He unloaded a good receiver over money. High performing players like Elliott and Martin had to force Jerry Jones to pay them. If the Cowboys desire to retain Dak’s services they’re going to have to pay more than other teams will have to pay him because Dak can’t count on Jerry any more than Jerry can count on Dak. Unlike Jerry Jones, Dak is willing to leave the Cowboys. For that he’s going to get paid. If he leaves over Jerry’s unwillingness to pay him CeeDee‘s and Micah’s agents, already familiar with what it’s like dealing with Jerry Jones, will be asking even more for their clients. This is when a professional General Manager, accountable and unemotional, is important to have. The Cowboys don’t have one.

 

[Rockport]

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.

If you don’t know why, then there’s no hope for you.

 

[KJJ]

Has Dak's playoff failures been proven??? Pretty sure it has.

What’s been proven is our defense sucks in the playoffs. Dak has given us more playoff opportunities than the QBs that just got paid. Jacksonville missed the playoffs for the second time in three years under Trevor Lawrence and he was made the highest paid QB in the entire league along with Joe Burrow.

Whats proven is that Dak is the oldest out of all that just got paid.

Every team that just paid their QB is forecasting improvement with a young QB.

Dak is better than all those QBs that just got paid and he still has several good years. We don’t have to forecast with him, he’s at the top of his game and his numbers and winning percentage back it up. Those teams that just paid their QBs had no one else to turn to. It’s not like there’s a better option available out there. If you have a good QB you have to pay them or you’ll have nothing.

Dak: If you read my posts you know my stance. Yes Dak was runner up MVP, yes Dak is likely a top 12 QB...yes Dak goes down in the history books as an all time Cowboys stats leader...Yes, Dak has been gifted offensive weapons his entire career here in Dallas...Yes, Dak was in dire need of a HC who could have helped him solve his jitters in big games...Yes, Dak deserves a big contract based on all this...NO, Dak in no way deserves to be paid as the top QB in the NFL

Micah: Yes, he disappears in big games....Yes, is a DPOY candidate every year....Yes, he is a beast when on his game and not being double/triple teamed....Yes, Micah as well could have benefited from a DC who knows how to utilize his talents better....Yes, Micah deserves the contract he wants as the lineup to grab him will far out number the one that will lineup for our QB if he walks

The common denominator in my post is as much as I want to blame these two for their performances in big games, coaching has a much bigger role in their failures than we want to admit

And the biggest factor is the GM and that won’t be fixed anytime soon ( if ever).

 

[acr731]

People in here legit don’t understand how market value of contracts work

Please... no need to insult people, everyone understands the market value bull poop. It doesn't mean dak deserves it, though. A qb like mahomes has earned it. Dak hasn't.

 

[TexasBacon]

Go back and watch Martin our hall of famer who had to hold out for more money. First of all dude is playing guard. Give me a break. Second of all he basically looks like a serviceable journeyman. Anyone who defends him and his contract and his actions and his play is simply not being honest with themselves.

Martin has more pro-bowls than holding penalites in his career, has been among the elite of the elite his entire career, and had one "down" stretch and playoff game by his standards. You win games in the trenches which is why a guard is worth money.

It amazes me the confidence some of these posters have making the most ridiculous assertions ever. Either you don't know football at all or are trolling. You can't be that dumb. Martin was one of the very few players that could absolutely justify holding out based on a significant body of work. Your whole tough guy "everyone sucks" schtick is lazy and tired. Direct that anger at the front office where it belongs.

 

[Rockport]

Yeah, I heard that same thing about Dez and Zeke too....

And they got paid.

 

[Rockport]

So trade a sure thing for an opportunity? The Walker trade makes a lot of people thinks it's easy.

It’s hilarious!

[bandfan]

So, let me get this straight, the opinion overall here is that if the Cowboys were offered a 29 year old Dan Marino we should turn it down without even a thought? Is that it?

 

[Rockport]

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.

Why weren’t they ready to play?

 

[Rockport]

Yeah you are right it probably will be. He would be going to a team on the verge of winning. He would be going to a team that will demand effort and preparation from him. He will be going to a team that will have leadership in place that will hold him accountable. He would be spectacular and would probably win a super bowl.

That is not happening here. Open your eyes. Perhaps it would be exactly what both teams need.

Another “fan” blinded by her hate. There’s a new sheriff in town on the defensive side who WILL hold players accountable. For some reason, you’re unable to see it.
