Better To Bite The Bullet Than Extend Dak

Maybe if we had more money to pay free agent tackles that would help. So Dak’s contract is up at the end of the year…are you going to advocate he be paid top-dollar or are you going to keep your same energy about the inadequate tackles that hurt Dak? Because if you’re saying Dak needs all-pro tackles to be good…then…why pay him top dollar? Can’t have it both ways.

There is a big gap between all-pro tackles and a guys who continually lets his gut go completely unblocked. There are many adequate tackles out there. Instead of overpaying paying guys like Zeke, Gallup, and Pollard we should be spending that money on depth.

Dak IS NOT a good quarterback.
He's been coddled more than any player in the NFL despite his repeated choking in big games.
He's been surrounded by talent and has been the reason that talent didn't succeed every year.
Stop ignoring the facts and his history.
He doesn't deserve an extension.

Go back to last year's playoff loss to the 49ers. Dak had a sub-par game for sure. But outside of CeeDee Lamb, name me one player that had a good game. One.

The other receivers? Did the offensive line protect well? Did they run block well? Did the running backs excel? Did the defense get a ton of pressure? Stop the run? Get some turnovers that could have helped? Did the coaches come up with a spectacular game plan only to have Dak muddle it up?

I hear all the time that conditions "have to be perfect" for Dak to win. But how many QB's don't need a strong team around them? Look at Mahomes this year with bad receivers. NOT comparing Dak to Mahomes, but if a "generational" talent like him can't be expected to overcome lousy support, why expect Dak to do the same?

Once you find a franchise quarterback you keep him. Then you find a way to put him in position to succeed. To that end the Cowboys (especially under Garrett) have failed Dak; just as they failed Tony Romo before him.

Garrett failed Dak by coddling him and teaching him to work the media and let them make excuses for him. Garrett failed Dak by not making Dak earn his position the second year.
Garrett failed Dakand the fans by not making Dak mature by playing behind the second string line in preseason.
Garrett failed Dak by treating him like he was a phenom, because Garrett was desperate to believe that Dak would finally justify him and make him look like a real head coach.
Garrett let Dak believe that if the Cowboys struggled it was always somebody else at fault.
And Dak ate it up, and had no idea what to do when the Cowboys needed him to lead.
if Dak had been drafted by any other team he'd already be out of the NFL by now.
McCarthy has seemed to help him this year, but how many years do we give a guy who has cost the Cowboys every year?

Whatever makes you feel better.

Dak has won over 70 games by accident. He's clearly a blindfolded Josh Rosen out there. :lmao:

Dak has been the benefactor of a very weak NFC East and soft schedules, but when he's faced real teams with the season on the line he has choked every time.
He has cost the Cowboys at least two division titles and at least three chances to go to the Super Bowl- including last year, in which the Cowboys were the best team in the NFC at the end of the season but went home because Dak choked vs San Francisco for the second straight year.
So the Eagles, who were not the same team that played earlier in the season because Hurts was a gimp, won the conference by default because Purdy was hurt.
How can you justify paying Dak top money with that kind of established history?

Russell Wilson should be available, and he's ACTUALLY showed that he's a top quarterback by winning a Superbowl and going to another one, plus big games every year.
Dak can't hold a candle to him or a few others.
Dak would be EASILY replaced by someone much BETTER.
 
I kinda wish the cowboys would have a long stretch of not even being competitive like the bears or panthers have just so some idiots realize how good we have it as fans

So you want to trade Dak for Wilson?

Get rid of Dak for a guy who just got benched. Brilliant.

He didn't get benched for his play. Don't you check things out before you post? Of course not; you need it to look different from the truth.
Wilson has actually produced in his career; Dak hasn't.

Dak has earned an extension. Just not 60 million.

Where are you guys getting $60M from?????? Right now, Burrow is the highest-paid QB at $55M. Do you think the next team to sign a starting franchise QB is will pay him $4M more than he highest paid? Hell no, it doesn't work that way. I don't care if Dak wins the Super Bowl he isn't getting leak-frogging from $40M to 60M. $56-57M will likely be the sealing IMO.

I dunno man, maybe you should pick another sport that’s easier for you to understand?

You need to come to the realization that real football and fantasy football are two completely different things, and that real football produces wins/losses; fantasy football is for losers who like stats.
