Dak is still my guy; stop blaming everything on him

This current operating procedure has only been going on since 2012. Before that Jerry has made very bad decisions in trades and FA. This is probably the reason they use this method today. They make trades, fail. They trade up, fail. Now they just ignore it altogether.
Since 2012? Why not 2008? 2007? What’s the difference between 2012 and 2007?

Let's observe what occurred in 2022 vs San Fran.

Yes, Dak threw a costly 2nd interception and that sucked (and I was even about to give up on him at that moment) but then so did Mahomes in the Super Bowl. And got stopped on 4th and inches from his own 10.

On those 2 drives almost looking surely like SF could've blew the game open....KC defense allows 0 points.

Cowboys defense played well overall vs SF but Mahomes and Dak had basically the same game against SF outside of the final OT drive. It was against the same team too. This should tell you everyone struggles against SAN Francisco at this critical moment of the season.

The issue was more on SFs only TD drive, things fell apart on that drive. Defense overall played well, but we had ultimate selfish me-me Diggs letting that INT fall right thru his breadbasket - and his nonchalant, non self chastising attitude afterwards like he doesnt care as long as hes paid. He could've knocked the Kittle catch loose, but he didn't even try. Why not get a McDuffie or Snead who are cheaper, better coached, and make critical plays at critical times? If you let SF have 2 extra opportunities, you get exactly what you deserved.

Fastforward 2023. Vs Green Bay at 14-0 fine. But the 3rd TD should've been stopped. Gilmore looked like he didn't know who he was supposed to cover on that 3rd TD given up. That should've been 3 instead of 7...you don't give up plays that easily. Bland gave up some dumb routes. Bell hasnt looked the same since the Buffalo game, like the wind got knocked out of his sails. Clark is just an average LB and you can't roll into the playoffs with such paltry linebackers. I get it Overshown and Vander Esch were injured, but where was the healthy Parsons? A step short and a 2nd late. Would anyone still take Parsons over Chris Jones? Everytime I open a Parsons thread here before January, people say Parsons is better. You watched the 2 Super Bowls vs San Fran and the Championship game against the Bengals.....and you'd still take Parsons??? Lol.

The defense did not improve in the 2nd half. So yes, I blame very little of Green Bay on Dak. The defense was never gonna stop sucking in order for an comeback to materialize.

In '22 you can blame a lot of it on Dak and I agree he needed one more drive and that didnt happen, but overall hes still a Top 3 QB in the league. I'm taking him over everyone except Mahomes and Burrow. Lots of sites have him in the Top 3. Certainly Top 5 based on last year. Why should I not believe what I see? Why should I not trust official publications? Why should I listen to loudmouth fans instead?
Worst post of the year, and we're only in April

I like Dak, you can certainly do worse. However he can’t be a big reason why you lose tin the playoffs which he has been the last 2 years. You pay a QB that much money than he needs to not be an issue in the playoffs.

Yes. He needs to talk to cooper. Dak doesnt have to be the avenging angel. Just dont be such a big contributor in a loss.
Even a "noodle arm" can do it.

How do you plug the defensive holes and pay Dak? Mahommes time and time again has proven he has what it takes to win it all. Dak has proven nothing. Mahommes also signed a team friendly deal to allow for more talent across the roster. Dak has not. Even if you could make an argument that Dak's individual performance is enough, you have to account for the talent deficit that his contract creates, and the fact that he has shown to be unable to overcome it.

You seriously don't know? They only started with this build through the draft from 2012 on up. We had T.O. back in 2007. They don't get a guy like that now. It's out of the question.
But the front office was incompetent in 2007 as well….

I'm just a guy with my own points of view, man. Dont make a big deal out of it.

This board seems to be a clique of all band around and knock the QB but reality doesnt follow this board. Irl there are still tons of Dak fans left. Altho they've been lessening more and more after the last 2 playoff games. But still, even if they're not Dak fans, they nowhere near come up with the kinda crap i read here. or they're just lazy internet comments most of which are just stupid.
Your just a guy with your own points of view with an avatar that says, "This girl loves Dak Prescott"? lmao
