The fan I responded to claimed Romo got some guys paid. He’s talking about receivers. CeeDee isn’t in line for a mega contract that could reset the WR market if he doesn’t put up the career numbers he did last season. Dak is a big reason he put up those numbers. It was Dak to CeeDee all season. He was our most targeted receiver. That should provide some clarification.
Whats clear is you hate romo as much as others hate dak.

There’s Hall of Fame QBs that couldn’t get over the hump because of the team around them. If you have a QB that’s playing the position at a high level and can make all the throws and can’t get over the hump, it’s the team around them that’s the problem.
If it's the Team around Dak that's the problem, it's pretty hard to cut the whole team and leave Dak playing with himself..

Notice how players play really good in a contract year, that's not hard to see...

If I was convinced this team would use that 60 million to build around a Lance or whoever I’d be perfectly fine with that. Problem is, I think if they had 60 million to play with they’d just give it to OSA, Bland and whatever other free agent they have. I’m also not entirely sure if I’d be overly upset if they let any of them go. My issue with the Cowboys is they are dragging their feet. You have to make the tough decisions and fast. It’s not too late to make one on Micah but it’s on Dak and Lamb. Just mismanaging your roster.
So, you'd rather lose and not try to win?

That’s how it’s always been with the Cowboys. After they get paid their numbers decline.

It’s not the entire team, there’s breakdowns. We have good players everywhere, but they’re either in the wrong position or they miss tackles. A lot of assignments are missed. We can’t seem to run the ball when we need to or make a critical stop. There’s been coaching issues.

Just remember that whoever our QB has been and whatever mediocrity we’ve been this era is on our ownership who also serve as our VP and GM.

They are the ones who are ultimately responsible for our mediocrity this era for almost 30 years.

No one is more content with what this franchise has become than they are.

Yes but there’s also weaknesses in those positions which are being impacted as such.

We do have some good players but not everywhere. Two of the critical areas of weakness was at RB and DT.

That’s why we often struggled stopping the run or running the ball in those critical situations.

Well 12 wins a season……
12 wins a season is quite an accomplishment if it culminated in more playoff success.

But after 3 consecutive 12 win seasons we have set historic futility marks in the playoffs and why it hasn’t left a better taste.

We’ll see if we can finally knock that door down but until we do the criticism will continue.

I mean did someone tell this exec that Dak is about to lead the Cowboys in all time passing yards?!

I think we forget we have over 20,000 anonymous fans on this site.

Many respected journalists often use “unnamed “ sources.

  • A majority of U.S. adults (82%) say that there are times when it is acceptable for journalists to use anonymous sources, with 67% saying it is acceptable only in special cases – a view which echoes the standards of professional journalism

Most Americans see a place for anonymous sources in news stories, but not all the time​

You don't really believe that, do you?
Take 20,000+/- and cut it in half... then cut it in half again.
I doubt there are much more than 5000 active accounts.
(Still very good, by the way...so everybody chill, lol)

With the said, if there are any 'respected journalists'
in this place reading this, you've really sucked at your job. Do better...lol/smh

Yeah, but "special cases" usually refers to issues of national security or whistleblowers where corruption is being exposed or where exposing somebody's identity could put them in harm's way.

The issue of if a professional football player elevates his team or not hardly qualifies as a special case where anonymity is needed to protect the individual from harm or retaliation.
