The issue I take with how the discussion culture has changed on this site is, a couple of years ago we also went at each other's throats, but it was always about the fact of the matter. Dak did this, some liked it, some hated it. But the basis was always the action on the pitch or in front of the mics. Now people start spinning their own stories, invent lies about what other people think, what their feelings are. Some homers absolutely want to believe that the critics have a bad or miserable life because they're pissing on the Cowboys parade (which is a pathetic clown show). Which simply isn't true. My life is not an iota worse with the Cowboys stinkin it up in the play offs. But I come here to talk about it, because this site is the platform to do it lol. I don't know any Cowboys fans here in Germany. There are no people here who would be interested to talk about this topic.
And until the 22 offseason I was an absolute supporter of the team, which includes Dak. Then I woke up. So maybe now there will be another 28 years of complaining after 28 years of supporting. I'm still a Cowboys fan though and always will be. And the homers just will have to accept, that I don't like what I'm seeing over at frisco. So what? It's my opinion, not yours.
My view of those 12 win regular seasons could be compared to a racing team, that makes it to every race. They are in it because they have been able to build a car that is legal. They got an engine, all the parts, tires and a crew. But once in the race, they always come in last or somewhere back. So what should people cheer about? Them making every race? Or will the focus shift to their race results? The Cowboys make it to the play offs. And I was happy about that. But at some point the development stopped. So now that's no achievement anymore. It's no progress. So we're in the race, cool. But then? And that's why I'd rather miss a couple of races, go back to the drawing board and design and build a totally new car. And then go back to the races.
Edit: IF Jerry thinks, he can still win with this car, then don't just sign the driver and the top mechanics. But fill all the other holes too. Go LA Rams style, truly all in. Drafting well alone will never get us to the finals. And I would support this idea and cheer the team.
