Lee, IMO the Cowboys have many more roster holes than QB. They could bring in several QBs next year who wouldn‘t fare much better than Dak. I wouldn’t mind moving on from Dak at all if the next QB was either better or had a strong chance of being that but with all the other roster holes this team has makes one QB move less than enough.
The reason all NFL starting QBs are so grossly overpaid is finding even a decent starter is extremely difficult. Again, we all want better QB play in the playoffs where Dak has not played well at all in 5 of his 7 playoff games. But in the regular season he has been better than most. I would be ok moving on if we had a better scenario but as of right now we don’t.
I agree with most. But he wasn’t as bad in all of his playoff losses. In 2016 he played well enough to win that game . Our defense gave up a ridiculous 3rd and 20 to Rodgers which set up their upset win.
And in 2018 the Rams were decidedly a better team who went to SB . They gashed our defense for over 200 yards rushing. Dak wasn’t horrible and reason we lost.
And both SF losses they were arguably the better team. Yea, we had a shot to win both and Dak came up short. But I wouldn’t say a choke job. Frustrating of course .
This Packers loss was really only one where he totally crapped the bed . And we were prohibited favorites . Horrible loss and performance . Total choke job.
I’m not a Dakky and I’m fine with moving on as well. I was for moving on 5 years ago . But Dak hasn’t played this poorly in all of our playoff losses. As matter of fact I’d argue with the type of teams he had those seasons I doubt we would have been in the games without him.
Now could someone else of greater talent taken us further , sure but until we have that person on our roster not much we can do as fans . Last time we had someone I’d bench Dak for was Romo. Maybe Wilson would be an upgrade , but it’s probably marginal at best this late in his career. There are some teams out there he would be an upgrade.
I know you know but this is for everyone else to see as well who blame Dak for every playoff loss. Sure we’d all like more but until Jethro drafts and begins developing higher drafted QB’s we are going to be in this predicament. And then he over hypes his decision . It’s a vicious cycle .
But without Romo and Dak this era regardless if they weren’t Elite we’d of had a much more bottom feeder era waiting on us to find the next great QB. Remember everyone the top Qb we drafted this era in Quincy Jones and two others we considered in Manziel and Lynch.
We don’t have to be Dak supporters to shoot down or at least challenge this ridiculous posture by a segment of fans who have always opposed or bashed Dak mainly cause our team hasn’t had more success in the playoffs.
