Dak complaint thread

[GINeric]

Darnold played good this season
moronic to call it great
25 tds vs 14 picks is NOT great
he actually played better in 2024
now he did step it up some in the playoffs up to the SB where he was meh at best and quite lucky

Nah, I gotta give Darnold credit where its due. He had some great moments in the playoffs.

Darnold went 3-0 in the playoffs this year.

In those 3 games he completed 62% of his passes for 670 yards. 5 TDs to 0 INTs.

You can give all credit to the defense you want, but the offense still put up 41, 31, and 29 points.

Offense only scored 22 points in the super bowl.

You guys keep saying trade down for extra picks! We need immediate starters can’t do that with trading down! Quality over quantity is way better!

Have you seen our defense? You know the Cowboys do not own a pick in round 2 or 3?

The Cowboys don't have to trade down. They need to. More picks needed!

After pick 20, they don't pick again until the 4th round pick 112 overall.

Does Dak want a SB like a teammate got? Ask him to drop the "no trade" clause and trade him to a team the is serious in the running but need a QB. More picks and then find a young guy in the draft at QB and start over.

But, Dak don't want no SB, he just wants cash, even thought he says he plays the game for free, it he could. Sure. Leader.

My prediction:
Jerry will blow all available free agency cap money on Pickens.
He will use the draft on defense.
Maybe a few bargin bin defensive free agents as well.

I agree with you, but I'll add, Jerry will tag Pickens and not sign him long term.
This will have 2 effects. First, Pickens will be a bit miffed all year, and second, he will eat up 28 mil in cap space. If you signed him to a long term deal (and I'm not saying we should as much as I like the player), you could keep his cap number pretty low next season, freeing up cap for other places.
Jerry will do the worst option.

Either sign him long term, and add void years to keep his cap # low this year so you can address other positions in FA, or tag and trade him.
I bet Jerry does neither.

You watch the Super Bowl old man? Can you get through your thick skull that spending all your money and resources on offense might be good for entertainment and fantasy football but not for winning football.

Sign and trade Pickens for defense. You can’t pay two wide receivers over 30 million. A QB 60 million. Over pay an injury prone running back who finally had one good season ect.

If someone, anyone can get through to Jerrah, let him know this defense has a long way to go and you won’t be able to get there if every resource is on the offense.

Dak is better than Darnold but will never sniff a Super Bowl with the makeup of this team.

Defense matters, and a good defense is magnified in the playoffs.

Jerry has done little to give me confidence in his GM prowess, or lack thereof.

Darnold played great this year, no question.... but to say Dak has yet to show that he do what Darnold did "regardless of the team around him" shows that your knowledge for football is alarmingly low.

Darnold played great this year and had the league's best defense to compliment him. Dak played great this year and had the worse defense in the NFL to compliment him.

I know you won't answer this question because it will dilute your narrative, but do you believe the Cowboys go through the playoffs 3-0 this year with Darnold under center and this worst ranked defense in the NFL?

Common sense and basic intelligence say it wouldn't be possible.

Now if you believe Darnold is really that great, why didn't he help lead the Jets, Panthers, 49ers, and Vikings to the Superbowl the way he did with Seattle?

I remember you giving Matthew Stafford excuses for failing to win a playoff game until his 12th season in the league. Why didn't Stafford do anything of significance with Detroit "regardless of the team around him"?

See im confused now.... because you give excuses for other quarterbacks, but then say what our quarterback need to do "regardless of the team around him" the year he has the worst defense in the NFL. Hypocrisy much?

That guy posts are absolutely hilarious, one of the biggest clowns on this forum

My thread was about defense not complaining about Dak. What mod moved this to Dak complaint thread??? Lame.

 

[zrinkill]

I am bored with the Dak talks .......

He has been a good regular season QB for most of his career.

He 2-5 in the playoffs with really bad showings against the 49'sx2 and Packers.

Hopefully he takes the next step in year 10 .......

 

[Nexx]

my complaint... he had several super bowl worthy rosters and he was a major reason why couldnt even make it into the NFC championship game in any of them. the cowboys are constantly spending precious resources to surround him with an all star cast to make up for his deficiencies, leaving little left to invest on the other side of the ball.

 

[Captain-Crash]

The defense we want can’t happen with the bloated offensive contracts we currently have.

And some of y’all want to add another to the books with Pickens.

If we don't, dak won't have anyone to throw to.

A good defense or Daks getting his stats.

I’m torn.

These days, stats are like playoff wins. If he gets enough, it's better than the Super Bowl.
