Dak is not the guy

[plasticman]

Why do people keep having to deflect back to Jerrah, when it comes to saying whether Dak is the guy or isn't? We know Jerry is an idiot and one of the worst GM's in NFL history. But that has nothing to do about at this current time if Dak is the Cowboys future. That he can still win in the playoffs and turn that 2-5 into a positive figure. We keep hearing things like well he is here for 3 more years, might as well enjoy it and don't diss him, support him, praise him! Why should people be happy about someone who is not the guy being the QB of their favorite team? That has nothing to do with who the owner is.

You are correct. This has nothing to do with who the owner is.

This has everything to do with who the GM is.

I completely understand if you have difficulty differentiating between the two different roles. Typically they are titles given to two different people.

That's because most, well, all but one, owners are smart businessmen who are intelligent enough to understand that this job requires a professional expert in football operations.

This would be a person with decades of experience in scouting, coaching, or playing NFL football. These owners are smart enough to realize that they do not possess these credentials and would be the worst possible choice.

Furthermore, they want to fulfill their obligation to their community, for which the team is named after. The team's name has two words, and the first word is the name of that community.

Their obligation is to represent that community by trying their very best to be the very best. They want to inspire their community with a championship.

It is the GM who is responsible for building that team and hiring the coaches that will give them the best opportunity for a championship.

The job of GM is not a part time job. It is a 24/7 kind of job. A GM is the top guy in everything involving football for the franchise, He is not involved in marketing, tickets, or scheduling the stadium as a venue for entertainment like concerts.

The GM job depends on achieving the goal within a set time frame. If he does not succeed, then he is fired and replaced.

The one and only criteria for evaluating the performance of a GM is winning championships. There is little job security.

it is not the Dallas Cowboys owner who is responsible for the decisions leading up to Dak's contract. That responsibility is delegated to the Dallas Cowboys GM just as such issues are delegated to any GM within an NFL franchise.

This is the kind of goofy stuff the dumbest fans say.
Zero QBs would elevate this Dallas roster to be number 1. ZERO.

I get that Dallas paying Dak 60 million was absurd but its' not like they had much choice. It was pay him that insane rate or tank for 3 years.
Since Jerry may not last 3 years Dak had 110% of the leverage.

Every day the dumbest people alive complain about the silliest stuff.

Dak isn't why the drafts have fallen off the face of the earth or why they can't understand who to pay and when.

Dak simply isn't the isn't the issue. Not when you have drafted Tyler Guyton and Mazi Smith in round 1 and are starting both in NFL games.
We've seen enoug non-Dak Cowboys football to know they don't even go .500 without him.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

San folks. You. Can we get a vote on that? San folks who will still be undecided by year 15 if Dak is the guy or not. In Texas, we say that makes you slow.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for proving my point. If I dont dump on Dak 100% of the time you Cult folks go on a rant...

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

There, there, lad. Take a deep breath. A fave chant is ahbah hahba hwan habba ahbfa.
Feel better?
Some cinnamon in tea soothes your surging emotions.
Try being more accepting of others' opinions, Dak boy.You can go back to fortnight.
Btw, you hurt me feelings.

You ok? Brain aneurism?

Where do cult members.meet daily? Is there a ritual you all go through? Like throw darts at his picture or burn a jersey or chant of some kind?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Welp...you keep clinging to a non-award that is not recognized anyplace but your imagination.

Linus with his blanket...in Antarctica!

See this is where you peed your pants before pulling it down. You cult folks tend to do that. Nowhere in my comment did I defen, just corrected the dates, but I get it i say Dak and you all are so triggered and jump at anything in your haste to out do each other.

Next time it's pants down then pee. You are welcome

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

We all know Dak isn't elite.

But please explain to us all how a below average quarterback can play himself into the top 10 out of 64+ NFL quarterbacks when healthy, become an All-Pro and MVP candidate?

What other below average quarterbacks have been top 10 their whole careers, became an All-Pro and MVP candidate? What are their names?

Either Dak is the first below average quarterback in a 100 year NFL history to have done these things or maybe he's not below average.

If a top 10 quarterback is below average, then what does that make the other 54+ quarterbacks who weren't top ten? Does that mean 54+ other quarterbacks are junior college level?

Yeah but please list the names of other below average quarterbacks who were or are perennial top 10, then became an All-Pro and MVP candidate. I'll respectfully wait for the names.

His agent pays them to vote for him. He has 60M to spend and it will help his next contract

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Hate Dak, Like Dak it doesnt matter... again for the Hearing impaired..EVERY PLAYER in this organization the last 30 years has sucked in the playoffs... all of them, dont you wonder why that is..every coach even HOF coaches have Failed in the playoffs while this GM tells everyone "I built a good team and they let me down".. surley we are past thinking then next Johnny Money will save this franchise...we are the Jets, Browns, whatever Franchise you have said can not win..thats Jerry Jones Cowboys now..30 years man we are past that one player you dont like. We ruin "The Next LT" before he can get a second contract you know like the Browns...

I don't think most people whether the like the quarterback or not, would argue that Jerry isn't the biggest problem.

When you get paid like the number one guy and by a large margin, you better play like the number one guy! An 86 qb rating last year is about 7 points below average.

Dak won like 3 games last year and even more losses..86 qb rating (To be fair, I did enjoy the Pittsburgh win).

Cooper Rush went basically 5 (I am giving him the Cincinnati win because of that Penn State cornerback, who let the ball hit him on the kick off and the turnover) and 6 last year…83 qb rating

Anyway, not much difference. Basically the same performance… a mid 80’s qb rating number is the baseline for being a career back up.

For 60 million a year, shouldn’t that gap be significantly and I mean SIGNIFICANTLY wider? Thinking 101 qb rating along with 12 wins a year vs an 86.

Dak is taking up 20% of the cap while dude taking up .4% is playing about the same.

If you get paid like the man, you better be the man!!!

What point have you thought Dak could win 3-4 games in a row in the playoffs? He can barely win one.

It is not luck. You need dominant qb play in this league and the playoffs. He is NOT the guy. The Dak experiment needs to end. We need a new QB ASAP.

Go Cowboys!

9 and 4 lifetime against the Eagles.

Yeah sure, you really think people have problems differentiating from Jerry the owner and Jerry the GM. We all think he is horrible as GM. That still doesn't make a difference on whether Dak is the Guy or not. I mean during the seasons people hype him up with their propaganda all the time, which just makes reality crash down that much harder when he doesn't live up to their hype.

So on year 15 you still will think he is the guy. Okay...

Go Cowboys!

First of all, the contract extension you are complaining about wasn't in effect during the performances you are complaining about so there is a disconnect in your logic. Dak's $240 million extension isn't in effect until this year. Granted he hasn't played up to expectation, but you can't hold it against a guy for getting injured. He didn't get hurt on purpose. So far Dak has not been the guy but that doesn't mean he won't be.

Tell him, not me, I already know. He don't.

A person very close to me died of an aneurism.

Been saying this for 5 years now......Definitely not what you want as the face of the franchise.

 

[KJJ]

Those of you who bash Dak on a daily basis, may realize one day when he’s gone that he wasn’t as bad as you thought he was if the Cowboys end up playing musical chairs for a number of years trying to replace him. He may not be great, but he’s pretty darn good when he’s on and he’s certainly better than a lot of the starting QBs out there. There’s a number of them I wouldn’t want to be stuck with.

 

[grgnfg420]

When you bash Dak and prop up Rush, you show your true colors.

when you prop up Dak when he’s done nothing for this franchise your showing your true colors

Well does his agent add yards and touchdowns to his statistics? The reason why I ask..... last I checked, his numbers placed him in the top 10 and made him an All-Pro and MVP candidate.

Money can't buy statistics kept by NFL staticians and money can't manufacture numbers that were actually produced on live film. For some reason, the numbers the staticians recorded line up with the production on video.

Its the production by each player that is counted to place them in the top 5, top 10, top 20, etc. So what exactly is his agent paying for? According to film, no numbers were added.
