Better To Bite The Bullet Than Extend Dak

[Romo_To_Dez]

Maybe some fans just want the first overall pick. That is a strategy, right? Cut Dak and start Lance next season. We probably get a top 3 pick. Just hope we do better than the Jets or Arizona with those picks.

So some fans wants the Cowboys to intentionally tank in hopes that they luck out and hit on a elite level QB in the draft. What happens if this strategy doesn't work out and the Cowboys get someone closer to Zach Wilson rather than Mahomes. Do they keep on trying this strategy every few seasons until they hope that they hit on a QB in the draft? Hasn't worked out for the Jets yet which is why they went after Rodgers hoping he has a few prime years left to get them into the playoffs/Super Bowl.

We need a special QB. How do we make that happen?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Well, one of those guys has won a Super Bowl. The other two are either already out of the playoffs or hoping for a wild card chance.

And I could provide a list of a dozen QBs taken with picks in the 3-10 spot that haven’t done anything at all. Many of them out of the league.

Speaking of Herbert, Some don't seem to mind him getting paid a big contract despite him only having one playoff appearance so far in his career and no playoff wins. And before some might excuse it on Herbert not having a good of a team has Dak has. Don't forget about all of the takes of how Kellen Moore would do since he was no longer being "held back" by Dak. And a lot said this meant the Chargers were going to be one of the best AFC teams this season.

So the Chargers have drafted Herbert just to miss the postseason for the majority of his career so far. And were below .500 with him as the QB. Should they eventually draft another QB if a certain amount of seasons passes by without them having much postseason success with Harbert?

Herbert is sacred. Don’t dare take his name in vain.

Yes, that’s exactly what they would do.

Also have to understand they would continue turning over the entire roster every 3-4 years, not just the QB. To keep getting shots at top ten picks you have to suck year after year. It’s not so simple as tank one year, get a guaranteed HOF QB the first one you draft, and then win a Super Bowl while they are on their rookie deal.

Most of that crowd would never extend a QB to a second contract unless he had already gotten to the NFCCG or SuperBowl in year 1-3.

 

[OGSixshooter]

That's kind of a lie... Are you forgetting all the post Aikman years? Jerry lucked into Romo and Dak. There's NO WAY anyone is talking about this franchise if not for Romo or Dak. The Cowboy way is LONG GONE. Only reason the team is relevant is because of Romo and Dak. Otherwise 5-12 every year. Don't be dumb.

Until they lucked into Romo it was futility.

I mean it is NOT perfect but at least we got playoff games to Beeotch about.

All of what you say is fair and true.

And yet...a better coach gets us over the top. A better QB also does. Why wouldn't we be putting ACTIVE effort into securing both. The team drafts really well. The facilities and football operation is top notch. But we settle at the 2 most important positions. McCarthy has no clue how to motivate or push a button with this team...that much is obvious. When the team gets hammered in a big game he looks as dumbfounded as any fan. And Dak...you're right other NFC east teams fear Dak. They really do. But that's been true of Danny White (to a degree) and even Romo later in his career.

Danny White went to 3 straight NFC Championship games and - in my best Hyman Roth voice - 'there's not a plague or a sign for him near the stadium'.

Dak is about to get bounced in 3 straight divisional rounds and some folks want him ensconced at QB. NOT ME.

 

[rambo2]

It’s going to be difficult to win with the money he makes now.

Gallup needs to go too. Not worth the money.

They are contending now and should be good again next year.

Absolutely CANNOT argue. It's a real conundrum. Our team is relevant but many of us KNOW there is little to no hope to get to the promised land. For me I worry about the worst of the worst (dark times, the Campo times). I guess I have PTSD and am worried about letting go of GOOD. That's what it is I guess...? At the same time, letting go puts all your chips in to Big Enos and especially Little Enos going forward. Not exactly a good vegas bet IMO

 

[Pass2Run]

Just to keep it real. This is the same guy with a YouTube channel that covers how much he hates the Cowboys....

Nothing to see here.

With quarterback salaries expected to reach $60 million, the Cowboys are in no real rush to extend Dak.
He's never won anything, and hasn't proven that he can show up in big games. Instead, he has struggled every time the Cowboys needed him to be the reason they were able to get to the next level.
With a $59 million cap hit coming, the Cowboys will be better off to ride it out and demand that Dak earn his next extension.
He hasn't yet.

Dak has thrown the most TDs in the league and is 0.02 pts away from leading the league in QBR. What do people want from a QB? Tyron goes out, Steele isn’t playing well, but somehow Dak is supposed to overcome everything. Same for Parsons.

stop expecting a HOFer at every position. The roster construction is the problem. Overpaid staters who too often aren’t on the field leaving subpar backups behind them. If no one got injured or misbehaved in football we’d be world beaters, but Jones has never accepted that you can’t win the same way we did before the salary cap, or he doesn’t care because this is the way to make the most money.

but Dak and Parsons are not the reason we have problems.

Says the troll with Sirianni as his avatar picture. ^^^

He's taken his gimmick to new heights, eh?

Hilarious. Kind of.

 

[Pass2Run]

I wish they could just sign him for a decent salary but Dak tries to drain every dollar he can.


Hes playing phenomenal ball this year and it’s still not enough and paying him all the money in the world doesn’t help the TEAMS cause.

You have got to get him to not get every last dime he can or it’s just going to be more of this.

We need a new left tackle too. Maybe a right one as well.

I’m not getting rid of Tyron either. I’d love to keep him if he wants to play but the cowboys Tackles are trash.

Steele is a shell and the Left side is pro bowl level one week and turnstile the next.

Don’t even get me started on run blocking.

Or, there are a few good teams and Dallas happens to be one of them?

Excuse me. I'm gonna go watch Grumpy Old Men for the 71st time.

 

[triplets_93]

I dunno.

I’d really kinda like to see the mental gymnastics Jerry pulls trying to justify a Dak extension after a Wild Card loss.

Businessman Jerry is just the person to do the gymnastics!!!

 

[LonnieElam]

Rooting for the Cowboys to lose and being fine with a Dak extension is the same thing.

No, it's not, but Happy New Year.

Dak Haters have Zero voice at the table!!

Dak Haters Predict: 8-9 Wins

Herbert gets a pass. He's saddled with Kellen Moore as an OC. Which, as we've been told for the past few years, is an obstacle no QB should be expected to overcome.

Or is that only a valid excuse to provide cover for Dak? I'm never sure how this works.

 

[nobody]

Unless he offers a huge discount, I don't think he should be extended or resigned. We know what we have in him and he's clearly an above average regular season QB. He's just not what is needed come playoffs time. However, if he offers a huge discount, then it would be wise to look at extending him. Either way, the Cowboys should be churning the backup QB roster constantly looking for a future QB1 as a lot of good teams do.

 

[BoysForLife]

Imagine posting the opposing coach giving bland and generic compliments about this weeks opposition in his weekly press conference ("he's calm and composed, and knows where to go with the ball") , and thinking that's somehow proving anything.

As if Campbell is going to come out and just eviscerate Dak and the Cowboys in his weekly presser .

This is beyond asinine. No matter how many emojis you slap on top of it

 

[GiddyD]

He’s a top QB and will be paid as such… They don’t grow on trees and most clubs would be crawling over each other to sign him… Like it or not, that’s how it works

 

[CWR]

I would love for Jerry to give these Dak haters exactly what they want and not resign Dak. I guarantee you after 2-3 years of Trey Lance or whichever other QB, they will be wishing we had Dak back.

Good thing Jerry and Company are not as ignorant. Just hope Dak is willing to give the Cowboys a little discount on his next upcoming extension.

Dak took a 4 year deal for a reason. He's planning on getting paid again. I wish that wasnt the case, but it looks like that's how it will go. There will be no discount.
