That has been a weak argument since they re-signed him and it was laughable that Booger actually brought up Prescott should work with them so they can sign other players. Sign what players? Gregory to a 70M deal?

Even the Joneses fans, scary as they are, should be looking at this creating cap space and what's not being done with it.

Do people really see the enigma of these people? They want this big shot image as players with the stadium, Star, boat and Booger Bus but they are really bottom feeders, they are pretending to be players.

I don't understand why... nowadays.... with most everyone having a high quality camera on them most of the time..... nobody can get a good picture of one of these Joneses fans.

I'll remain skeptical.

Well in all fairness they already have the legion of boom defense...just ask some of the guys in this thread...what more do they need?
Don’t care if I get suspended for this.1st off you’re a ****** bag. Let’s get that out of the way.Didn’t say Dallas D was Legion of Boom as I said not quite. What I said is the total talent between both teams was pretty
close and it is.Good riddance.

No point raising any issues with that individual - it's probably Tad Prescott.

Think about all that we’ve given up for this teams buy in with him

-cap hell for the next decade

-losing out on good players and free agents

-he’s about to get his second coach fired next year

-the 2016 decision to go with him over Romo leading to a first round exit

-squandering the best cowboys team in 20 years with another first round exit due to poor qb play

-cutting or trading players who don’t get along with Dak or we just can’t simply afford them anymore


Think about the following qb option we had the last 2 years

1. Tom Brady
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. Russell Wilson
4. Dashaun Watson
5. Matt Stafford


And Dak makes more money than all of them. I know this isn’t all predicated on Dak but it’s kind of hard not to feel that we’ve been cheated out of something since we signed him to this ridiculous deal

Lmao. Do you even watch what is happening around the league? Or do you just parrot junk for likes on here?

Stafford just signed a deal that matches Dak and they still have room to do whatever they want. Cap hell for a decade? No such thing as cap hell. This was created by fans and fans only.

We had zero shot at those guys you listed as QB. No one wants to come play for this front office. Quit throwing out names that were free agents and acting like Dallas was going to ever sign anyone. What is the last big name we have signed? I'll wait.

Yeah, because this front office was all about free agents and good players before Dak arrived....Riight...

Awwww still hurt about 2016?? Romo was an injured loser at that point. Dak went toe to toe with Rodgers in his rookie year and matched him. Dallas defense was trash. Stop this narrative that Romo was some god who was going to lead us anywhere. He had plenty of opportunities with zero to show.

Now tell me all the good players and signings we did when Dak was making 4th round money...Oh that's right, they got no one. In fact, in 2018, they rolled out Cole Beasley as their #1 WR and thought that would work.

Again, this is some moronic post to gather up likes because you know there are tons of simpletons in this fanbase who eat up posts like these. We have tons of low hanging fruit so kudos.

Are you sure you want to use this game as an example to back your point?

Dak threw 4 passes, all of them incomplete on this mythical clutch comeback 4th qtr drive.

He wasn't even behind. They had a lead from a TD scored with 12+ minutes left in the game.

After that go ahead score with 12 and half minutes left, the defense got Dak the ball right back with a 3 and out. A 51 yard punt return set Dak up inside the Hawks 40. Dak then threw a pick giving the Hawks the ball back down by three with 9 and half minutes left. The defense bailed him out with a 4 and out.

It was then that Dak led one of his legendary comebacks by going 0 for 4 but doing a great job of handing the ball off. He did contribute a couple nice runs. Don't want to take that away from him.

Haha. Touche. Now lets looks at the most recent history. Dak had the ball with 3 minutes and 3 timeouts against the 49ers, with a full healthy offense and all of his weapons. After his defense once again bailed him out after a terrible interception. He proceeded to make it 40 yards to mid field. Dak is what he's always been, an average QB that has to have a very good team around him to be good. It's why he's been so inconsistent his entire career. If you trade him places with Drew Lock, Drew has the big contract right now and Dak just got traded to the Seahawks. Professionally the guy has been given a huge amount of slack and every possible oppourtiiny to succeed and then a contract he's not deserving of in the slightest.

I felt he should have at least been allowed to compete for the starting job. That's what he asked for and was denied.

I think that was the rupture in his relationship with Garrett. He knew Garrett didn't make that call but he should have fought for him. But then, Garrett wouldn't have made Booger comfortable.
It just wouldn't have made sense. No one in their right mind would change back to Romo after the history he had and the success the team was having when he was out. There's nothing to suggest this was just simply a choice made by Jones. It's the same unrealistic notion that teams tank. From a players perspective, that is insane.

Soured me on Garrett, too. Everything being the same, I think it's the closest they've had to a SB team since the '90's (with Romo playing). After what Romo did handing off to Murray and killing stacked boxes in '14, he would've been unstoppable with rookie Zeke.

I was one of only a very few on the old board saying as much Dak's rookie year. Everyone rode the, "don't mess with the chemistry," nonsense. Meanwhile Romo was tearing up our starting defense in practice with a Baylor basketball player. Some people were convinced he would be our next TE because of what Romo was doing with him.
It's not nonsense unless your a fan.

In the 49ers play off game any QB with a brain and reasonable football IQ would have been able to slide and hand the ball to the referee within the allotted time yet people somehow give Prescott a pass. Hilarious the love and willingness to throw themselves under the bus for the Cowboys' version of Blake Bortles!

We had a Superbowl calibre roster last season yet came up short. Whatever had gone before, the Cowboys QB had the ball in his hands on the final possession to win the game vs the 49ers...yet he wasn't able to execute. People claim he's better than Stafford who was able to complete final drive after final drive in the play offs on his way to winning the Superbowl. What do people actually watch. You have to also question if the penalties on the o-line are always due to coaching, the o-lineman or is it occasionally the QB...do they all know the snap count, do they understand his cadence...or is it always the coaching (including all the different coaches over the past 6 years)...o_O

Given the lack of football IQ Prescott showed towards the backend of last season...I think we all know the problem with the offense.

let the finger pointing begin. he is the head coach. change the play. disagree with it. going with it, is you giving up control as the head coach and your years of experience in being in similar situations. but in the article you also notice that he said it was the right call and Prescott did the right thing by handing the ball to the center...

its a desparate call. 99.9% of the time the play fails. even if it was hail mary it had a 99% chance of failure. at that point its them looking for a miracle, when they had ample opportunities to win this game prior. I am not blaming that play for our loss.

Extending Zeke and Jaylon Smith instead of Dak was the real problem. They could've just matched Wentz's contract for Dak's extension and trade Zeke.
the problem is Jerry plays fantasy football. in 2018 he thought he had a superbowl roster and needed zeke so he caved in. he should have said we will play without you, play one more year and we give you a new contract.

that play didn't cause the cowboys to lose. it was a desparate play in a desparate moment. I could tell you that we screwed up similarly in earlier games in the year and it wasn't Dak. the team, the cowboys teams is stupid in general. they made stupid plays all year long, its just that this one was the last one of the year and it stands out. do you seriously think even if they pulled it off, snapped the ball that we would have scored a TD? that's a fantasy

Dak still had a chance in the end despite all that, but in typical Dak fashion couldn’t even come close when it really mattered.
if you think we had a chance, then you are living in fantasy. that was a desparate play. desparate and chaotic. I doubt if we would have scored a TD if we ran a play. this was a stupid team with dumb players making dumb plays all year long including the first game of the season.

They did make an offer to Dak very comparable to both Wentz's and Goff's contracts, in 2019, as soon as it was possible to do so by league rules..

Dak refused it, choosing to "bet on himself".

The myth that the Cowboy's could have signed Dak earlier and cheaper just will not die.

I do agree with you the Zeke and Smith deals.
well, he refused it because Jerry wanted a longer contract and Dak wanted a shorter contract. imagine if Jerry would have agreed and signed the shorter contract and then next year we could get of his deal.

and Jones didn't have to franchise him next year.

Jones didn't have to give him his 160M contract.

Right, 1 of 53 screwed it up all day...if only he had opened better running lanes, if only he had not commited 6 pre snape penalties..if only he had stopped the niners from eating clock with 200 rushing yards... if only he had not had multiple defensive holding calls..if only he had not allowed 5 sacks (great wall of china) ...if he couldve sacked the opposing QB just once (legion of boom in action here)...again Dak should've played better you sound like it was your first football game to watch thinking it was just the QB..Legion of boom...lol
we had many issues. Dak was just one of them.

Nailed it.

We could look at the next game after the legendary comeback against the Seahawks when, while his defense was getting destroyed by the run, Dak engineered 4 straight punts. Three of those drives were 4 plays or less. Two of them gave the defense less than a minute of clock time to try and regroup.

Somehow Dak stills gets credit for his clutch performance because of the too little too late effort at the end.

I know Dak has had some significant personal hurdles to overcome in life but strictly speaking of his professional life... he is one damn lucky fella.
