[FVSTONE]

From Wiki:

Didn't know this...helluva way to go.

Wilson died due to complications from Type 1 Diabetes, a disease he had for almost 30 years, at his home in Coppell, Texas on his 60th birthday.

I'm trying to survive it myself.

When? Lynch was so bad the Broncos gave up on him after two years but that was the BRONCOS. Tell me if you truly believe Jerry would have done the same, admitted failure of a 1st round QB he selected within two years. Hell no.......at best Jerry would have kept him 4 years w/o 5th year option.
Also with a drafted Lynch, there's no Dak to save the 2016 season after Romo's injury. Meaning Romo's career likely continue for another year or two.

See what happens when we get into a bunch of what-if scenarios ..........boundaries are limitless on both sides.

If they drafted one of those bums and the team was losing bad they would have been picking high in the draft and they might have ended up with an elite QB. We know that Jerry got rid of Chad Hutchinson after 2 years. Instead we sound surround an average QB with a ton of talent and he just keeps preventing us every year from drafting QB in the top five picks.
To me Dak has been a curse more than a blessing.

You are saying Jerry would have gotten rid of Paxton Lynch after burning a 1st rounder, the same as he did Chad Hutchinson who signed as a free agent???? Apples and oranges...

Struggling after a stint in minor league baseball, Hutchinson decided to focus on professional football and held an open workout in 2002 that was attended by three teams (Dallas, Chicago and Kansas City). Expecting that he could regain his football form, the Dallas Cowboys won a bidding war for his services on January 26, signing him as an undrafted free agent to a contract that included a $3.1 million bonus, three years guaranteed at $5 million and a no-baseball clause.[5]

Your probably right! But losing would of made it easier.

stay strong brother.

It's amazing how Jason Garrett still has the ability to piss me off in 2025.

 

[mmohican29]

Look 2016 Dak Prescott was eye-popping, and he was exceptional up until his broken leg.

He came back a different player (still decent to good). The half-stepping with Dak's 1st contract was foreboding enough. The new contract?

It's a borderline total/nearly disaster.

 

[Corso]

stay strong brother.

Always. Thank you.

Look at what Connor Cook did on his rookie contract, and look what Dak did. How in the world could you say that Dak was a bad pick.

Dak's subsequent contracts are a different deck of cards, but a draft pick's got nothing to do with that. All a draft pick buys you is the exclusive right to negotiate a rookie deal.

Quite.

He will go down as a curse and someone who got in the way of any potential success.

People bang on about JJ but for all his faults he surrounded Dak with two loaded teams in those play off losses to the 49ers and another team that reaches the Superbowl in 2016 with an All Pro Vet QB and not relying on a rookie to overcome one of the worst pass defenses in the history of the play offs.

Every time I see Garrett’s face, I feel instant pain. A decade of that imbecile.

 

[plasticman]

That was an excellent post and then you spoilt it with that last sentence, especially the word ANY. Dak isnt absolved from everything in this contract.....Just because the contract is overwhelmingly Jerry's fault, Dak will be held up on his part of the agreement.... if he stinks, whilst accounting for 1/8 of the total CAP, he's a big contributory factor in our demise.

Dak is what he is, he can't change that. As far as his contract, his agent took advantage of the leverage that was created by Jerry's mismanagement. It is unforgivable that Jerry did this, not once, but twice. It never should have happened once.

Don't blame Dak for taking the money when he started every game during his bargain basement rookie contract.

Anyone that feels Dak should "step it up" due to his contract is using the same flawed logic that Jerry has always used and which has constantly destroyed the Cowboys ability to contend.

A bigger contract doesn't translate to a better player. It is supposed to be the other way around. The better player gets the bigger contract.

2016, sucked against the only 2 legitimate defenses we played. You just have missed 2017 and 2018 pre-Amari.. and even post Amari he was still horrible against zone, always has been..

 

[Captain-Crash]

What did Wade Phillips say about ginger thunder?

 

[VaqueroTD]

Tom Landry helped grow Roger Staubach.
Jimmy Johnson made Troy Aikman a man.
Romo had Bill Parcells on his butt.
Mike McCarthy tried to turn Dak into a stud, but the damage was already done from The Clapper.

 

[Miller]

Forget Dak. Garrett is the one who really sucks.

Even in this little clip you can tell how much he loves him some him.

This is where I was listening to that…first of all he talks too much. Dragged that out. Get to the point! Secondly he’s trying to prove how cool he is by his method and how they drilled him. If was a player hearing that ir be like “don’t draft me.”

 

[Creeper]

Don't blame Wade Wilson. Dak was a great pick at the point in the draft. He showed he had something his rookie year. The Cowboys ruined him. He showed he was capable or driving the bus, but the Cowboys made him into something much more. He was never the guy they paid him to be. He did not deserve $40 million in 2021, and he certainly does not deserve $60 million now.

What if the Cowboys said no to $40 million a few years ago? What is they said, we'll give you $33 million? Maybe Dak would have left. Maybe no. But I am pretty sure he would not be making $60 million today.

 

[atlantacowboy]

We had 2 picks in round 4 that year. We had the 3rd pick in the round and a supplemental pick. We used the 3rd pick on DE Charles Tapper. That is how highly this organization thought of Dak on draft day. They thought Tapper was the more valuable player.
