Dak has ruined this team

[Brax]

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.

HC is a joke and scapegoats is his MO just like the Jones. I was trying to provide a link to who decided to run the ball, bad call terrible execution. To me handing the ball to the center with so little time was wrong and that points to bad coaching even HS ball you are told hand the ball to the ref he spots it.

Not sure why you're being a dick, it has nothing to do with Jerry. It's about the players. I simply disagree. You think if he played with Elliott we're SB bound, but he played with a RB that had the best season in Dallas history and couldn't pull it off. My guess is when Prescott's career is over, he will clearly have a better career by his own merit. Just my opinion.

I think he was a better QB in 2016 when healthy. I could care less about when Dak's, "career is over." I'm talking about 2016, when no one in their right mind would think Dak was Romo's equal.

If pointing out your position is the one they took is being a dick, what do you call distorting what I've said into saying Romo was a hall of famer? Or saying they were Super Bowl bound?

Like YOUR Math works! Where’s the results chipper?

what does results have to do with making cap work? you are so utterly confused. you got caught trying to pass some bad math and now you are complaining.

how did the 40M work out for you last year? the cap hit was 17M. this year the cap hit is 19M. we have 38M in cap space. why aren't we signing anyone?

Rams just paid Stafford 40M and were able to sign Allen Robinson and have their stars under contract. dude you have so much to learn just to know how to complain

here is a link for you, let me know and I will buy and send it to you.

Some fans love a scapegoat, especially when they know the idiots making personnel decisions - the actual problem - aren't going anywhere.

This will eventually be the mother of all Overtime Zone threads.

Ol' Jerry loves it.

Keep blaming his employees for his bad decisions, and make sure to buy some merch and tickets next season.

What if the bad decision is the employee in question?

Things have changed as Dak is no longer the darling of these forums for obvious reasons!

 

[Hadenough]

This contract does 3 bad things for the cowboys
1 ) precludes the team from acquiring or looking at a top up and coming QB that can be a difference maker , which Dak as we have seen is NOT.
2) eats up the future cap
3) gives us 5-6 years of the same Dak play

Exactly! And that 5-6 years was 3years a month ago. It's just sickening to see what's happening. Parsons and Diggs careers will be wasted. They can go somewhere else and win a SB.

 

[Whirlwin]

what's the difference between watching dak waste years playing here and winning nothing and looking for another quarterback that might win?

nothing, there's the alternative.

hoping for dak to miraculously be carried to a super bowl or looking for a better quarterback. no difference.

You’re the one whining. He got what he wanted

 

[DeaconMoss]

All that matters is winning, which is why Romo didn't play again. No one was confident he could finish a season.
I'm not wondering, it was the logical thing to do, keep playing the guy producing and helping get wins. From a players POV, that's all that matters. Huge fan when he played, I supported him, but somehow he got propelled into the HOF. Time to let it go.

Romo's last drive is not in Daks arsenal. The playbook is well published for Dak now. Make him beat you with consistent accurate throws. Makes me sick there is no way out of this contract. We could have been in discussion for Brady, Wilson, Ryan, Rogers, Watson. But we were hung with Dakota's dead weight.

If it takes 144 that's good news. People are waking up. Dak sucks. The team sucks for giving him a contract that's deserving of only elite players.

"he got what he wanted" smh you're making comments, not sense.

So don't let the door hit you in the behind on the way out of Cowboys fandom.

If you are/ever were a fan of the Cowboys....

Damn

I thought this was a Dallas cowboys forum, not a Dak Prescott cult

I don’t need to show off my fandom to you. I don’t care if we have flacco, sanchez, baker, Dak as long as we are winning

Dak isn’t holding his end of that ridiculous bargain

They are the minority now and this has driven them to new levels of Dak crazy.
Unfortunately for them, Dak has made their mission here literally impossible to sell as he falls flat on his face against playoff-caliber teams!
They have my laughter and my sympathies!!!

you won't be laughing when he racks up some stats against the NFC east powerhouse teams and doesn't win the division.
he's got to be good because if not, I can't blame everything on romo.

Here we go again? In the same damn thread!? lol

This is some weird logic.

Your argument is that, Person A and Person B are negotiating a deal. Person A offers Person B a deal that essentially mirrors the deals which the peers of Person B have just received. Person B turns down this offer because he wants something that is unprecedented to date, in deals of this nature.

It is your position that the failure of the deal is entirely the responsibility of Person A for not giving in to the demands of person B? The unprecedented demands I might add, again.

Come on my friend. You yourself said in our previous exchange on this topic. "It takes two to tango".


I will add that I do not believe that the contract length issue was even a factor in the first round of negotiations in 2019. It did not come in to play until after Dak's rookie contract was off the books. A four year extension in 2019 was likely the offer he got, key word being extension. That was the precedent for all big QB deals. The 4 vs 5 only came into play after an extension was no longer possible.

If you have information to refute this please correct me. I would much rather get it right than to just try and be right.

Jerry franchising him and ultimately paying him has absolutely nothing to do with anything I said in the post you responded to so I have no idea why you are even bringing it up.

so what Person B asked for what his peers didn't because he, person B saw himself as better than them. He is entitled to that opinion. you premise that he should know himself and as a result align himself with his peers. that's not how negotiations work. Person A still went ahead and gave the deal. if Person A didn't feel like Person B is as good as he thinks, then why go along with it? at the point that Person A saw the contract demands, its all on Person A to decide what to do. 100% of it.

you want to blame Person B (Dak) for asking for too much. I said it before, Dak could have asked for 80M/year. doesn't mean Jerry should have caved in and hand the contract. He had the option to walk way. at that point its all on Jerry and jerry didn't assess Dak's capabilities properly and as the GM that's his main responsibility to know his players or players he is trying to sign. at the end of the day, Jerry had a very clear option. play with him under franchise tag a second year and then walk away and that would give him a year to figure out what to do.

yes, it takes two to tango and Jerry did the tango. at the end of the day, its on him to reject and walk away. Dak walk up and asked to tango with certain stipulation and if Jerry didn't agree to those stipulations, then Jerry should have said no. if Jerry doesn't pay, there is no money, there is no contract.
