Cowboys optimistic on signing Dak

[JoeKing]

....along with the same player's agent....

That was the incompetence I was referring to.

 

[Typhus]

They want what they want. If the Cowboys won't give it in 2021, someone else will give it in 2022. Now, this depends on how bad Dak wants to remain a Cowboy. If he wants it bad enough, he could relent on the 5-year term. I just don't see it.

Oh I understand, but Dak knows that if Jerrys is willing to pay him, he will be on a Romo type term, we know how that story always plays out,,, so I could see Daks camp definitely getting a deal done quicker than most are expecting.

They have Super Bowl trophies and they consistently make the playoffs.. I’m not sure what your point is.

Dak doesn’t consistently make the playoffs or have a Super Bowl trophy.

Dak has more playoff appearances and the same number of championships in his first 5 seasons, then either Brees or Rodgers did.........

 

[john van brocklin]

I get the feeling Dallas will sign on Dak’s terms.

Jones’s always stretch out these negotiations only to take a huge L in the end.. It’s what they do.

Like with Zeke?

Why are you making me look this up, putting a double check down on you,, if you are correct you are correct, but I need to take a look at that so give me a moment ...thank you.

Keep an eye on me.

The Texans are better off trading him and starting over.. They suck with him.

Elite QBs consistently get to the playoffs even when their team sucks.

What do you think is consistent getting to the playoffs?

Drew Brees was considered elite years before and went 3 straight years of 7-9 with no playoffs. Not sure if that's considered consistent in your opinion

Yes. And Dak has been to the playoffs 50% of the seasons he finished.

He has not just made the playoffs but reached the divisional round 50% of the seasons he has finished

let’s be real. If he doesn’t get hurt this year. He would have made the playoffs 3 out of 5 years.

all of this on a team where about 95% of the posters here would say has had poor coaching and a bad front office.

but yes. Let’s run him out of town.

Would love to see some examples here. I’ve got one, Tom Brady. Now your turn. Name an elite QB with this poor of a defense, average OL, underperforming RB, great receivers, and shoddy special teams play.

Rodgers? If you’re ok with playoff contention and that’s it.

Big Ben? Always had a stellar defense when they were perennial contenders.

Mahomes? He’s elite obviously but is Dak asking for a $100M?

Wilson? Always had a stellar defense when they were contenders.

Maybe I’m missing something and I’m not trying to be argumentative but when you say elite QBs carry their teams to the playoffs, I don’t see many sterling examples that are available to replace Dak.

Seriously,,
I just want to see some contracts, decisions resolved, once we see what the numbers are, we can try and devise some sort of hope.

 

[HungryLion]

I am not arguing Dak is as good as Rodgers or Brees in their primes. Brees is one of my favorite non cowboys players ever. I watched him play at Perdue as a kid, being that I grew up in Big 10 territory and have always followed the Big 10.

but if we are defining elite QB’s as QB’s who won championships and consistently made the playoffs their first 5 years in the league. Then neither Brees nor Rodgers are/were elite.

****NOT-AN-OFFICIAL-SOURCE*** got word three hours ago, Dallas will not franchise Dak and a deal will be made by 03/09/21.

 

[Typhus]

Apart from his receivers, Dak gets no help at all.

Brady gets GOAT tier help and wins his last 2 Super Bowls with his defense giving up 0 TDs in 8 quarters.

Not saying he's Brady, but it's a lot easier when you have to only score 10 and 4 points to win a game.

Proper build model.

Tampa pulled off the greatest trick ever,,, what a concept to just build your base fundamentals first as priorities and plug in the GOAT.
Dont hate me because I come off as a sarcastic bastid,, cause I am...lol
What a nice play from the Bucs,,, thats all Im saying.
You play the cards your dealt, and Tampa Bays entire FO stepped up, and made one hell of a right decision or two.
They had the build model down and now you watch how many cattle in the herd follow.

Dak doesn’t consistently make the playoffs or have a Super Bowl trophy.

Drew Brees played 20 NFL seasons and made the playoffs 10 times.

So no, he didn’t “consistently” make the playoffs. He missed the playoffs just as “consistently.”

Don’t hurt yourself trying to understand this sport.

hmmmm, is ****NOT-AN-OFFICIAL-SOURCE*** Jerry Jones/Stephen Jones ...? Because that's probably the only people who know.

 

[Loso86]

Then why did Dak stay with France?

Loyalty matters to some. Heard rumors he convinced all 3 of his big names players to play on tags until he was setup with his new company. Dak, justin Simmons and another all tagged. France has a base reputation of being a jerk of an agent who doesnt budge much

 

[Loso86]

The agent is still there. Expect more of the same.

Definitely, hope dak steps up more this time around

 

[CowboyRoy]

Don’t complain when we fail to put enough around him then.. You don’t get to celebrate signing Dak to all that money and then complain about defense and everything else..

He’ll be paid to have an elite QB impact..

We will celebrate and you will cry. And I will enjoy it.
