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

[TheSport78]

I think it's pretty telling that the defense got a 3 and out on the 2nd series, and then Rayne Whack Prescott decides to throw a pick inside of the 15. After that, the game was over.

 

[MyFairLady]

Why weren’t they ready to play?

Maybe you should ask them. Should mommy and daddy make sure they go to bed early and get up to have a healthy breakfast? As if the coaches are responsible. They make a fraction of what the players make. Might as well blame the nutritionist and the training staff.

 

[The Quest for Six]

And they got paid.

everyone was saying 31 teams would line up to sign them after the Cowboys cut them....didn't happen...

But everyone keeps claiming that every time the Def was on the field it was a TD for gb.....

Can’t make this stuff up. Coaches are responsible for getting the team ready to play. Not sure how you don’t know that but you apparently don’t. It was a total organization failure from Jerry down to the water boys.

Yeah, the defense was absolutely dominating. Both physically and mentally they just destroyed GB.

 

[Mikexike]

not a single soul said they were dominating, they did enough the first half to keep it a respectable game. But guess what offense showed up? The same one we been watching the past few playoff losses...

But go ahead and keep telling yourself that dak had little to do with it.

 

[dckid]

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.

I have been saying it for years, I said not to pay him in 2020.
The issue is Jerry does not have the foresight, fortitude to make a bold move. I was ng for us to trade for Fields, or also looking back sign Darnold. Jerry puts himself in a corner and then expects the player to take less money.
Would Jerry take less than market value in a business deal?

Respectable? Only here can you see stuff like this!

please prove me wrong.

only someone that is blind wouldn't be able to see what happened in the 1st half.

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.

This narrative is extremely old. Newsflash, players aren't GM's. It's not their job to worry about contracts and team construction. Their job along with their agent is to maximize their earning potential in a very short window of their life. Players and coaches do not get involved in teammate's contract talks or holdouts. Fans are the ones who expect professional athletes to take less money for the team, not the players. Not sure why you think players should bow down to the owners and allow them to make their jobs easier.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Dak is a top ten qb. That and that alone makes him in demand by a lot of teams.

Jordan love wasn't and got the deal of a century

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Didn't have the personel or personality from the coaching staff to the players to do what that game called for. Can we run we want to and /or should? No! Can we stop the run against teams that want to run? No! And we are relying on unproven rookies and 2nd tier free agents to change that!

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.

 

[SultanOfSix]

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.

“No one does this.”

Yeah…except the people who make the classifications.

 

[SultanOfSix]

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.

Dak already received his first high paid contract based on the same lack of playoff success but potential. He’s followed it up with the same lack of playoff success. That’s why there is a dubiousness to his future contract.

 

[Rockport]

I’m not arguing with someone who truly believes the Cowboys defense was respectable in the first half of the GB game. Not wasting my time.

Dak received his first big payday because he was winning consistently. He had two division titles and a playoff win before he got his first big payday. We tied a franchise record with 13 wins his rookie season. We also set a franchise record with 11 straight wins that season under Dak. He was on pace for over 6000 passing yards in 2020 when he was injured. We overcame a 20 point deficit against Atlanta prior to his injury which was arguably the greatest comeback in Cowboys history. He was far better than any of those other QBs that just got paid. You guys that keep pinning our playoff losses entirely on him have an agenda against him. Don’t waste your time digging in with a long reply, I’m not going much further with this.

 

[Creeper]

Dak already got his big payday when he was given $160 million 3 years ago. The question now is does he deserve another even bigger payday? When you look at inflations, and the CAP increases over 4 years you could argue giving Dak $56 million a year now is basically keeping him even. Giving him $60 million is giving him a raise and I think there you may have a question.

Parsons if going into his 4th year and he is one of the top LB/Edge rushers in the league. Teams have to account for him on every play. If you scrutinize any player the way Micah is scrutinized, no one would stand up to that. I would argue the Cowboys defense, which was horrible before Parsons was draft, got better only because of Micah, not because of Quinn. Take Micah off the field and this defense would be horrible again. That doesn't mean he can beat teams all by himself. No one can do that. Green Bays gave up close to the fewest sacks in the league last year. They give Love a lot of protection. When you couple that with numerous blown coverages, you get a blowout. Micah should get paid - and he will.

That's what I thought, Because you probably went back and saw what they actually did and can't prove me wrong... Go figure.

Contracts are typically based on the regular season. Individuals don't translate to wins in the playoffs.

We like to have individual Super Stars vs building a complementary team. Then we get mad when our Super Stars can't carry the entire team.
