Dak hasn't delivered. Why pay him another dime?

[leeblair]

When Dak got his last ridiculous contract, Cowboys fans were assured that he was going to deliver "rings".
Last year Tad Prescott stated that "Dak wants to bring them rings."
How long is the wait, and how many hundreds of millions of dollars should Dak be given for "rings", especially considering that in the last two seasons he has shut down in the playoffs like he did before his last huge payday!
So why should Jerry believe that giving Dak another dime will help the team?
How many hundreds of millions of dollars is it worth to see him choke every time the game gets too big?

Agreed. If Dak hasn't done it by now, then he is 99% likely to never get it done no matter how much he gets paid.

Time to move on.

I give you haters credit. You’re persistent and focused albeit not objective.

Objective are the statistics. 2-5 in the playoffs and zero rings.

Apparently because he has leverage is what Dak fans say.

When in reality Dak has as much leverage as the town drunk that is bumming money from the rich folk.

If they want to throw him a dime or two they will, but they are not required to give him anything.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Show me a current Cowboys player that has consistently shown up in the playoffs and why pay any of them another dime?

There's an organizational problem here. Some of y'all won't realize it until Dak is gone and the same problems remain. Just as they have since Jan. 28, 1996.

Same reason
Watson, Cousins, Lawrence and many others that haven't won got paid. QB don't grow on trees.

Dak doesn't deserve to be paid like a marquee player. He has hurt the team when it mattered.
You don't build a team with guys who choke when it's their turn to lead.

I would say give him a 5 year $305M contract with option for him to add two years to the contract for average of $75 each year.
you have a problem with that?

Accuse others what you yourself are guilty of. That’s called projection I believe.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

I'm a Dak fan. But he has shown in 8 years he needs a deep roster to help him win. We can't give him that roster if hes taking a huge chunk of the cap. If he doesn't see the value in being the Cowboys starting QB (look at the cushy jobs Aikman and Romo, our last two franchise QBs have in the booth, let alone all the ads Dak is in, does he think he'd get those if he was the Bucs QB?), then he can go elsewhere and good luck to him. We aren't winning with him anyway, so why keep dragging it for another 5 years where we have to lose player to accommodate his demands.

 

[DoctorChicken]

The same reason guys like Kirk Cousins are still getting paid.

It is not rocket science to figure out how the QB position and its contracts work. It is not very hard at all.

Dumb teams do though....
