You may not be considering the fact that unlike every other QB, Dak wasn't resigned with years left on his deal.
Those discounted years do matter to players. They would to you if you were Dak.
Who decided not to sign him with years left on his deal? Jerry Jones. Go back and read my post. I'm not mad at Dak as much as I am mad at Jerry. I'll say it again. I'm not mad at Dak for getting what he wanted. If you can get, get it. I'm mad that Jerry caved, AGAIN, just like Jerry caved in with Elliot, DLaw, and the rest of the bad contracts he has given. He caves all the time to his players and enables them and that's why we have sucked for 25 years, and we will continue to suck for the next 4 years with Jerry running the show.
It doesn't matter if Dak is talented or not. Aikman was talented, Romo was talented, Dak is talented. And Dak's talent will be wasted here, as usual. Jerry has put together below average teams the last 25 years and Jerry will surround Dak with below average talent and we will suck. Elliott and DLaw and now Dak, the player completely took it to Jerry on the contract issue when I don't see how we are better or worse with them.
I'm all for Dak getting his money, I thought I made that part clear, I'm concerned that Jerry can not grow a spine and make the hard decisions it takes to run a successful franchise. And I'm basing that off of 25 years of Jerry doing it his way.
