lol. So after Jimmy Johnson left it took them 20 years to learn how to build a roster? Building a roster that can make the playoffs by beating up on a bunch of bad teams only to bow out in round one is one thing. We need to build a roster along with a coaching staff that can get wins against the elite teams in the NFL and go further than the first round of the playoffs. That GB game was an eye opener. The entire coaching staff and the entire team was outplayed and outcoached. GB was smart. They watched what the 49ers, Bills, and Cardinals did to us earlier in the year and just exposed every weakness we had. That loss wasn't just on Dak. That loss was on the coaches and Jerry Jones too. Most ill prepared I have ever seen from a home playoff favorite. First #2 seed to ever get beat by a #7 seed.
Some have given their opinion that Jerry has done enough to win the Cowboys a Super Bowl and has been putting rosters capable enough to win the Super Bowl on the field throughout Dak's whole career. And that the reason why the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl lies completely on the shoulders of Dak and Dak only. In order for this theory that some are giving to be true, the Cowboys under Jerry and Stephen's control would have to start regularly appearing in NFCCG after Dak is gone and start winning Super Bowls no longer than 5 years after Dak is gone.
If we are more than 5+ years into the post Dak era and we are still seeing the Cowboys struggle to advance to the NFCCG or win their 6th Super Bowl, then it's still will be a sign of how the front office is still a major obstacle standing in the way of this franchise. Even though some currently wish to give them the benefit of the doubt due to placing this team's playoff failures 100 percent on Dak's shoulders.
I have been a supporter of Dak's throughout most of his time as a Cowboy. But also think he can play better in the postseason at times. Especially during the last 2 to 3 playoff games. And while I'm open to moving on from him, I probably wouldn't be as upset as others would be if he is resigned. Also even though I have gotten frustrated with Dak, I'll never be at the point in which I give Jerry a complete free pass for this team's postseason failures.
