Dak is not the guy

Rinse and repeat thread. Might as well bark at the Moon. Either action gets no reaction that matters.

Do you still support Jerry because he is the owner and GM of your favorite team?

We probably don't all agree with the moves he makes or doesn't, but doesn't mean I stop rooting for the team. You can certainly criticize decisions players, coaches, and owners make, but at the end of the day I still support them and truly hope what Jerry does is with good intentions to benefit the team.

I'm appreciative of the 3 Super Bowls Jerry brought with the decision to hire Jimmy Johnson and thats more Super Bowls than what many fans will see in their lifetime, but like every Cowboys fan it's been a frustrating couple decades.

You know what the worst thing about this contract was? It wasn't 60M a year. But everybody keeps pointing to the 60M. Because that's what his extension averaged. But no one considers an extra 90-100M of leftover money had to be averaged in as well. That's what happens with 3rd contracts. Dak's contract average was closer to 70M a year than 60M.

people just make up stuff. not saying he deserves the 60M. but stories keep getting exagerated. the cap hit for 2025 is 45M. we have about 40M in cap space. where is all the FAs we were supposed to be able to sign when we have cap room? btw, before saying Parsons is going to average 40M. its average not cap hit. hope you understand the difference.

cap hit next year is 75 M but cap gets reworked all the time, although with the contract Jerry handed Dak, its challenging for him to work around it much....the idiot in the room is Jerry. .

for comparison, here is Josh Allen who will have an 86M cap hit.

I am not defending dak, commenting on his performance. or making comparisons of playability, but just looking at the cap. Jerry is a moron, we know that. but the contract is not an issue in being able to sign anyone or not sign anyone. lets say he took 55M instead of 60M, just like the other 10 in the list. is 5M the difference between a superbowl or no superbowl. is %M allow us to sign top DTs or draft better. this team is got issues all over, starting with Dak and just go down the list of positions and players and contracts on the team.

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!

I support him as well because he is our QB. What else can I do? But it's not up to him to get it done. He has to have support. QBs don't do it on their own. Rodgers won 1 SB and never seen one again. He never had the support. The 49ers got to three SBs with Kaepernick, Garoppolo, and Purdy. None of them go to SBs with the Cowboys. They got there because the 49ers put stacked teams around them, and had great coaching. Something our GM never does.
 
no QB will be the guy with an offensive line that cant rush and a defensive line that can't stop the run. Achieving both is a recipe for success, not being able to do either is a recipe for a bad QB.

The contract IS THE issue. It's a progress stopper. Also, NFL teams operate on a budget - a salary cap budget and a guaranteed money budget...and those two should not be conflated. Dak's guaranteed money severely compromises the team's ability to respond to the market and to move on.

I was sky high before the game...I knew what was coming. It was almost worse than I thought...almost.

The same fans who complain about not winning are the same clueless fans who support Dak ……..

Facts are facts. Dak blows. Anyone at this point making excuses for the loser doesn’t know football

I'm not sure what you're arguing here. I don't disagree with you. Everything you said is pretty sound.

Why do people feel the need to police other people's fandom and the fandom writ large? Like seriously...these self-appointed gate-keepers are part of the problem too. They are the soft pillow Jerry rests his head on at night.

Show me one playoff game where the team played well enough to win, where the OL held up, where the receivers were open and Dak choked. Show me a playoff game where the defense played well enough to win.

If you mean Dak wasn’t super man and didn’t take the team on his shoulders and single-handedly win the game, okay…that’s true for sure. In my opinion, the only team we’ve had even close to being championship quality was 2014 - offense -
Demarco Murray 1800 rushing yards
Romo
Witten
Dez, Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley
T Smith
Leary
Fredrick
Martin
Free

Mostly in their prime. Yet that team also crapped the bed. It’s not the QB.

Show me one playoff game where Dak rose above the team and earned his paycheck. ONE.

And don't tell me 2016, because that team was STACKED...at least on offense.
 
We haven’t even played our first regular season game this season and we already have our first “Dak is not the guy” thread. :rolleyes:

then its progress stopper for every team. there is a cap. there is a cap floor. every team spends within that based on cap hit for every player. no more. no less. gauranteed money or no gauranteed money, when you get to a year, you manage the cap. Philly has committed over 240M, which was about 3x more than any other team. and non gauranteed money becomes gauranteed when they decide to keep a player and rework the contract. Dak has a 129M guarantee. Josh Allen 147M. but its about the years in the contract. Jerry for whatever reason put in a couple of years in the backend of the previous contract that were voidable and thus gave him flexibility. for whatever reason he didn't do that this time. stupid of Jerry.

and tell me how its stopping progress.
40M on the cap. who should we have gotten and couldn't?
and they had a chance to move on, but chose not to. Jerry the moron had ZERO QBs under contract for 2025 and gave all the leverage to Dak and his agent.

the fact of the matter is that Jerry doesn't go after FA. we don't spend on FAs. we tend to keep players to the end of their contract, despite performance, so to avoid dead cap as much as possible and not have to pay for a position twice.

the idiot in the room is Jerry. but the anger and hate goes towards Dak. because its possible to get rid of Dak. not possible to get rid of Jerry.

I am not defending Dak, his play or anything else. not comparing. but just on the contract side and personnel management, Jerry is at fault. 100%. when the guy outright, unprovoked says, I want drama, I create drama if there isn't any, then you know where we are.
