Dak is a mental choker!

[RustyBourneHorse]

Once again don't curse Manning. Sending him to an 82 year old senile fake GM will only Bismarck his career. I pray he goes to a solid team with a real front office. Not Darth Leatherface and his nepo padawan.

I mean, either that, or we can fold the franchise...I'm just trying to figure out how to get the Cowboys in the SB lol, and I think I have a plan.

Hehe, well, yeah, I'd love for us to win it all, and getting a team built for Manning would be great.

When you write that thread pay close attention to the 3 people that will vehemently disagree with you in the name of Dak so you know who not to take seriously.

Why don't you have a look at the thread yourself?

AC,
I've seen this for a few years and that's why I really believe that a sports psychologist would be able to help him. How much we don't know but that is something he should of been doing for years. I just think this is it. It's not gonna get any better and that's who he is. I don't think Dak has the ability to throw to a spot on the field before the receiver makes his break. He has to see it and that gives good defenses time to make up. He lacks anticipation and timing.

I agree. A sports psychologist could definitely help Dak get his head straight. He should even see if someone like Kurt Warner could work with him when it comes to seeing, reading and anticipating making better/earlier throws. It could only help him. For being the highest paid athlete and wanting to help the team win, he should do anything extra to help himself get better immediately.

He would never damage his brand by admitting that he's a choker and needs psychological help. At this stage his body is as much of a problem as his head. There's no zip on his passes at all and he never had a cannon to begin with, he can no longer run/doesn't want to run/scared to run.

Great....but was he clutch or not?

Also...was the pass to Turpin that hit him in the face clutch or not?

What about the should have been pick a couple passes before? Honestly did not even deserve the opportunity to throw to Turpin. You cant talk about one outside of the other!

game was over when he threw that first ball, any play that happened after is window dressing.

like why not force it to cd of ferg at that point..... instead he goes to turpin and brooks...go figure.

Yep!! Alot of people suck but they get excuses. Truly hilarious to see kid!!

Or maybe, people here care more if the Cowboys suck, because that's our team?

I mean, not saying Dak's not at fault for his issues, but Jerry didn't exactly help him this offseason. Derrick Henry would've cost about $6 mil for us to sign. They could have made that work and still do all the signings they did. Both things can be true. Dak's not been good this season, but Jerry's been useless other than making money.

Jerry Jones is to blame for most of our woes. But it used to be that people would just accept that is the conditions that the QBs in Dallas have to play with, Jerrah boneheadedness. Now it seems to be used to deflect blame from the current QB. I just don't remember people playing the Jerry card when Romo threw a boneheaded interception...

I would usually support Romo to the hilt, and I try to do that for most QBs. Especially since it's usually more than one isolated issue.

I can agree that not getting the right running back during free agency was the opposite move of what you should do if you are going to extend the Veteran Quarterback here. That kind of contract, requires you go all in to win now. But am I surprised that Jerry does the opposite of what makes most sense? I kind of expect him to do that now, do the thing that makes the least sense to me. To me, we just signed a Quarterback to the big contract that looks like he is at the tail end of his career. I knew this season would show what he is made of, considering that this is the worst offensive line that lined up in front of him, and they have a horrible running game. This is the first time you can compare him to Romo as far as having to play with a less than stellar offensive line. He's looking a lot worst to me than expected, where he's not feasting on the bad teams anymore. I'm very pessimistic about the season. And I haven't even mentioned the Defense, but judging about the amount of points Dak has been putting up, even in his win against the stealers, the offense just isn't very good, and I don't see what the 60 million dollar per year man is doing that makes the investment in him worth it. We could have the same record with another quarterback for much less the price. We mortgaged away our future for someone who is immobile and isn't going to get better.

Well a few here said that Dak only became an All-Pro and MVP candidate last season due to the strength of the schedule last season.

So surely that guarantees every quarterback an All-Pro and MVP candidate season, correct?

You made that correlation. I never saw anyone say that was "the only reason", only that it was a reason. You then said any QB who was in that situation must have been an "all-pro and MVP candidate" with the insinuation that the majority are not. I politely asked if you knew this to be true and point me to some proof. Instead of proving your statement, you now take it one step further and say it "guarantees" it. So I will ask you, again. Do you know whether or not it is historically true? Are a majority of QBs that face the worst passing defenses that season MVP candidates and all-pros? Do we have a few years, or decades, to prove/disprove it or anything at all? Yes or no? It was a simple question. Can you prove your insinuation, or are you just blowing steam because Dak's best season was, in fact, up against the worst pass defenses in the NFL last year (and that was a reason contributing to his success and accolades) and that doesn't fit well within your Cowboys' worldview?

Oh, no doubt that Jerry doesn't do what's the most logical thing. That's why we are where we are for the last 29 years. My point is the best thing we can do now is try to build ourselves for the best future possible. There is a way to get the team competitive and in position to get a top QB in the 2026 draft. However, Jerry is going to need to negotiate really well and make some hard trades.
