You seem to have selective memory if you don't remember the beating Romo took on this board and also by most media outlets. People were relentless in their criticisms of Tony, just like they are with Dak now. The whole "choker" tag was a false narrative as at one point he was the all-time leader in the 4th quarter passing ratings.
At one point Tony and Dak were neck to neck in getting blasted on here, but now in my opinion the Dak blasting is much worse. Some on here cannot even admit when he has a great game. I've always been a fence sitter on Dak, and I"m still not sure what he is capable of. But I do think if he plays within himself we have a chance to win a Super Bowl with him.
As far as the money goes, it's odd to me how much it bothers people. I think the players should try to make as much as possible, just like us regular folks in the real world. You don't get too many Tyron's or Lee's who take team-friendly deals and I don't blame the players. They can only play a finite time before they're done. And good teams know how to manipulate the cap.
By the way, I didn't watch the video. I cannot watch any of the talking heads looking for ratings.
Good read Fastpitch Dad....... but I don't have selective memory. While some of us have ripped TRomo.....it is masked by the overwhelming love he gets on this Board too, even today such as the HOF expectations or favorable prediction that I personally don't think exists or the excuse he was playing with poor teams. Dak doesn't come close to any love, in comparison. Fact. Not sure why the "choker" tag was a false narrative......TRomo did make some bonehead plays at the wrong times, in "big" games. His career is just like BFavre, excluding the longevity and the one Super Bowl. Riverboat Gambler.
It's all good. I'm just always wondering why the "go to" blame move on this board is at the player that makes money......deserved at the time, due to market value, at minimum. And yet some get immunity becasue the pay is team friendly and yields the very results that warrant such.
That's on the franchise.
I also marvel at the enabled selfishness the franchise afforded JWitt returning after retirement, in a role he should have been granted like the Raiders did a year later......spot duty or just say no.
That's on the franchise.
My 2 cents. I critique play, not pay.....in the Man Cave. Dak and Zeke (since the topic is deserved or earned) have the same number of rings.....right now as the above mentioned players....outside of wedding bands. Let's go Cowboys.
That's on me.
