I’m going to make a bold prediction, Dak will improve this year
It would be difficult for him to perform even worse than last season given the elite looking D and quality around him on offense coupled with the schedule.

I suppose it comes down to our perception and perspective. All I can do is provide mine.I appreciate you providing yours.
Jerry Jones has not been influenced by public outcry. That is not perception. That is not perspective. That is fact that can only be disproven logically. Keep hope alive, my friend.

That’s your opinion in which I disagree with. Jethro has always been influenced by public outcry. Sometimes not as much. And it usually doesn’t make enough difference or does he respond to more critical concerns we have. But his actions are certainly often in response IMO.

if it’s true that the Cowboys are in NFC Championship game or bust we know damn well that the Eagles and Niners are in Super Bowl or bust mode.

I hope that with a QB near the end of his career and a defense that is top 5 that we would be in SB or bust mode as well

Okay, so Championship game or ... try again next year. No bust. lol
That’s not the kind of bust I’m referring to.

What I’m saying is that just making it to the playoffs will not be considered success until we finally knock down the championship game door. However long that takes.

If you don’t believe Jethro is ever influenced, regardless if we agree or support his reactions, from public outcry then that’s a view you’re certainly entitled to.

But most of his critics believe his actions are occasionally influenced. To what extent is obviously arguable.

Apparently my Championship game or bust has been misconstrued. I wasn’t referring to this year alone.

I’m referring until we finally knock that door down since we now hold the longest streak in NFL history of futility in the playoffs.

Name a critic and one example of 'public outcry' they believed influenced Jones into doing one action directly relatable to his general managership.

I don't believe it. Until Jones is gone, it's business as usual.

There is no championship ultimatum when it comes to the team. Maybe it's one for Mike, win or ride out your contract but is that really an ultimatum? Dude wouldn't even get fired just no new contract from the cowboys. And whats the downside for the cowboys organization if they dont make it far? If winning was a pre-requisite for our fandom we wouldn't be here for the last 27 years with barely a wildcard playoff win to speak of.

Bob Costas initially exposed it. Jethro in so many words even admitted how he reacts. But most of the local beat writers and critics have stated as such over the years.

There’s so many examples over the years. I’m not interested in arguing each one. But wanting to hang on to Garrett is an obvious one he finally had to give in to public outcry. There’s so many others.

This off season is a perfect example unless you actually believe he never reacts to public outcry. I guess you believe he just responds on his own . He has made these off season moves all without any influence from criticism. Believe what you will my friend .

Right . No championship mantra for the team. Just the fans.

Bob Costas? Thanks. That gives me something to work with.

If you don’t believe public outcry and criticism from the media and local beat writers , fans, etc has never influenced a decision that’s fine.

I’m not here to convince everyone . You’re more than welcome to present your narrative or oppose mine .

But my narrative is one I’ve seen from many fans and personalities I’d align with . I think it’s fairly obvious.

Shoot, I’ve even seen instances where I think he had responded to discussions on this forum and social media.
