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

[KJJ]

You totally avoided the point. But you know that.

Dak already got his first big bag based on potential, just like the other guys just did.

He hasn’t got his second bag because of his playoff failures. Whether that’s his fault or the team’s fault or somewhere in between was never discussed, only that it’s been a significant part of the reason as to why the second bag hasn’t come easy and why comparing him to these other guys is irrelevant.

I didn’t avoid anything you’re just looking for a lengthy argument. Dak played over four seasons before he was extended and was injured during his fifth season. He was a proven commodity who won a lot of games. Jordan Love only played one full season before he got even more money. If the Packers didn’t pay him, he would be holding out. Trevor Lawrence has played only three seasons and has a losing QB record and still got paid $55 million per. Dak earned his first extension because he was a fourth round pick and had to earn it. Unlike those other QBs that were handed extensions because they drafted in the first round. Dak hasn’t seen his second extension because he’s looking to be the highest paid QB in the league and the Cowboys still have to re-sign CeeDee who’s holding out and Parsons next season. The Cowboys are cap strapped. What’s happened in the playoffs has absolutely nothing to do with why he hasn’t yet been extended. This is why it’s a waste of time arguing with fans like you.

Maybe you should clarify your posts or do purposely post that way so you can argue that you didn’t say that even though you implied it. So what was the point of your post if it wasn’t what I responded

Bold> He only does that to dog Lance, otherwise it is nothing but hogwash 49'er fan talk.

No it wasn’t but it set the tone. And our offense couldn’t respond giving up turnovers which ultimately killed us.

But our defense didn’t help us either. Our defense was over rated . Played great if we had the lead with pressure.

It was a total team failure. 27-0 game over.

Here's how I know 27-0 isn't game over: I watched a team in the playoffs go down 27-0 literally 1 year prior and win, or to make it more obvious the last time a team was up 27-0 they lost. The big difference is that in that game the defense stopped giving up points at that point. The game was over when the defense gave up 6 TDs in 7 possessions. The best way to describe that game is one unit was awful for most of a half and the other was awful the entire game. The bulk of the blame goes to the unit that was awful the entire game.

You are correct

Dak's pick 6's were the dagger....... everything else is window dressing.

Hell, if dak just goes 3 and out on those crucial picks we probably go into the half in great position to steal the game in the second.

But, but, but the defense! It was the defense that lost the game. And those picks were the receivers fault because they ran the wrong route, I guess because that is what I hear all the time.

13 - 7 but the dam D craps the bed. How MM still has a job with the team effort and preparation is a total mystery. MM complaining he doesn’t like being on the last year of contract, remember he knows how to win SBs only problem is he doesn’t have a AR who could only get one to cover his butt.

Do you think a defense with a coordinator with his foot half way out the door could over come being on the field so long in the first half cause the O didn't do squat to help anything? They all get the blame but lots on here want to solely blame everyone but the O for what happened... the O does not get a pass even if they had a decent second half...and this pattern has shown up every lost we have had in the playoffs regardless of that the D has done....

So I think we need a smarter QB that makes better decisions in do or die games.

Ah, so it's Dak who wins a lot of games, but it's not his fault that they've lost in the playoffs and hasn't been extended.

Again, you're the one who's arguing and creating a strawman. You're trying to make some kind of point that these other guys aren't as worthy as Dak of their first extensions which does not matter to the original point. These other guys are on their first big bag. Get that through your head because it's now been said three times.

I don't care what the real reason for why Dak hasn't been granted his second big bag. It's the fact that it's the latter that it makes comparison to the others irrelevant. If neither Lawrence nor Love do anything in the playoffs during their extension, they likely will have trouble getting their second big bag and not get it either.

You’re taking it too literally. Of course it wasn’t over officially.

I told you not to dig in. We’ve had more than enough Dak debates. I’m done wasting time with you on Dak.

You are on a road that will go nowhere, good luck.

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

It would be franchise changing but that doesn’t mean for the better. Elite pass rusher are hard to find

If your standard is that they cant have a bad half then all 12 playoff QBs are not good enough in your eyes. Allen is not good enough. Mahomes is not good enough. Obviously Goff and Purdy are not good enough. If that is your standard then there is not a single QB from the playoffs who meets that standard. The game was lost because the defense played historically bad. The offense was not good but they were not historically bad. That is the difference.

It is a team sport. Defense never should up. Dak had a bad start to the game, just like the Defense. The offense kept fighting. Defense was a no show. I hope they enjoyed their after party.

Whatever floats your boat.

Glad GB didn't pull their defensive starters the second half...

 

[DoctorChicken]

Dak because he’s a good but not great QB, and those guys still get lots of money.

Micah because he’s one of the three best guys in the NFL at pressuring the other team’s QB, and that is incredibly valuable.

It isn’t rocket science.

 

[SultanOfSix]

You are on a road that will go nowhere, good luck.

Well, “Road to Nowhere” is a great song by Ozzy.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

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

But for you, hope springs eternal with Dakchoka?

 

[Streifenkarl]

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.

Plus we have changed personell in all positions but the QB. Dak has different coaches, OCs, o lines, receivers, game plans... what more does he need? Oh yes, he always had bad defenses lol. No he hadn't, they held the fort quite well in 22 and 23. He just couldn't deliver.

[TheMarathonContinues]

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.

Nothing respectable about the defense letting receivers and tight ends run wide open.
