Dak is trying to scam the Cowboys

[TheMarathonContinues]

Ironically Wentz would be the only one you could make an argument for. Cousins has done nothing in the NFL. Dudes one playoff season he lost to the Matt Cassel led Cowboys. Jimmy has played ten freaking games.

I mean I honestly don't think Wentz has done much but if anyone wants to lead with his season two years ago where he was one of the best qb's in the league.......I can understand it. But I must've missed the Jimmy G and cousins era's.

 

[Scotman]

Real fans don't need numbers to see he struggles with throwing a WR open ( if you have proof post a video of him doing it multiple times), throwing in tight windows, and deep/intermediate passes.

So, let me get this straight. Because I don't see things the same way you see things, I'm not a real fan. Is that accurate? Because it is exactly what you said. Some of my earliest memories in my life are watching the Cowboys with my dad. I was watching when Staubach replaced Morton. I haven't missed but a handful of games since then. But because I don't think Dak is running a scam, I'm not a real fan? And in return for being hopeful...I pick up a label..a "stan." What is that short for?

The team should wait to pay him. I would if there's no discount for paying him early. But I think he's a young QB who's done everything asked of him and is still getting better. I'm hopeful for this season and beyond and he's part of that hope.

The constant attacks from those that are already convinced he will fail, as well as those that attack any one who's afraid he can't get it done, completely undermine any real discussion here. It reduces any debate to name-calling and mudslinging. Instead of outlining your concerns and talking with other real fans about them, you discount and disparage any one who disagrees with you.

I am a REAL fan. I have been all of my life. I've always been a hopeful fan...but a fan just the same. And I don't have to call anyone names to try and get them to listen to my opinions.

Dak actually played his first three seasons in the league. Romo threw 0 touchdowns in his first three seasons because he wasn't good enough to start.
Now Dak is at the same point in his career that Romo was when he first threw a pass in the NFL, but with three years of experience already behind him.
I predict that in the next three seasons Dak will eclipse Romo's TD numbers, making your argument irrelevant.

Dak "wasn't good enough to start" either. He was actually third on the depth chart, but was thrust into the starting role because of injuries to QB1 and QB2.
If my argument will be irrelevant in three years does this mean your argument is irrelevant now?

 

[buybuydandavis]

As to your point about Dak not being able to "carry the team on his back"

I'll let the others chime in with their own responses regarding accuracy and whatnot.

Dak has issues, but he plays well in the 4th and his legs and throws on the move help put us over the top in ways other QBs can't. He executes and makes plays to win games for us.

People expecting one player to carry the team seem to have trouble counting. 11 players on the field at a time, forty something playing each game. Team game.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I don't think daks trying to scam the boys at all. The terrible market set by other teams being desperate for a qb is what's going to screw the boys!

Since the focus seems to be how far down the depth chart they were to start their careers this is rather easy. One took 3 years to get his shot and keep the job. One took 2 injured players to get his and keep it. If Dak wasn't deemed good enough to start he wouldn't have kept the job when Romo was cleared to play.

 

[Brooksey]

How many playoff games did Pony throw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns? Certainly not in his first or third season.

In Romo's first three seasons as a starter he threw for 300 yards 16 times vs Dak 2 times.

Dak was good enough to start, rookie of the year and cowboy record of 11 straight wins. Of course he was down the depth chart it was half way through preseason even Romo got hurt.

Different offense and Romo had T.O

That’s what people don’t understand. The offenses were much different.

 

[Blake]

In Romo's first three seasons as a starter he threw for 300 yards 16 times vs Dak 2 times.

And lots of bone headed interceptions. Don't forget the interceptions. In Dak's first three seasons in the league he was already starting and learning the ropes of becoming a competent starter while Romo was riding pine in his. In Dak's rookie year he went blow for blow and threw over 300 yards and 3 tds against Aaron Rogers's Packers in the playoffs while Romo in the same situation in his prime caved to the pressure as we knew he would; only throwing 191 yards to Roger's 316. Romo already had three seasons of experience in the league before he threw his first pass while Dak was thrust straight into the fire. Dak is finally at the same point Romo was when he first started. We'll see how the next three seasons play out.

Obviously he was because if he wasn't good enough to start Dak wouldn't of put Romo into retirement and kept the job.

 

[Bullflop]

Why do you think any of those three have "done something" that Dak has not?

I've been watching. I happen to believe they've been a little more accurate, is all.

Let's see if he's actually improved in the offseason, like his recent hype indicates.

Hey, I actually like the guy, although, sometimes that has nothing to do with it.

Do me a solid and don't bore me with the convoluted stats that say otherwise, ok?

 

[mcmvp]

So it was Dak that forced Romo to retire? That’s news to me. I thought it was his back issues.

But that's baseless. Hell Jimmy G has played 10 games. Cousins folds everytime. Dak has beat him 4 times in 4 games played.

Romo still insisted on having an open QB competition that was denied. When he saw the writing on the wall he retired. Second, the best ability is availability, and Romo couldn't be depended on.

Dak is the lucky recipient of better support than Jimmy G has had and you're right about Cousins folding. Yet, both are more accurate.

 

[blueblood70]

He wants to be highest paid, based off what? He has issues with accuracy, can't carry a team on his back, and only has a high percentage throwing the ball because most of his throws are short range

Real fans don't need numbers to see he struggles with throwing a WR open ( if you have proof post a video of him doing it multiple times), throwing in tight windows, and deep/intermediate passes.

He knows this, he knows he's not that good. He knows this is his only chance to cash out, because he knows he might get exposed as not to good(like flacco), especially if Zeke doesn't play.

He's trying to scam us and strong arm us because really and truly I do agree with him, right now we have no better option. Doesn't make him a great option, just a convenient option. He knows Jerry can get desperate.

Let the guy play and show the world who he really is. If he balls out, I'll for sure rue. But I doubt he can put together a great season, and wow most of us.

)wake up Jerry Dak is good for sure solid starter can be a Franchise QB BUT not worth over 30 no way no how flip the market, Say NO..

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Well no one is arguing that. If the team doesn’t want him then move on. But it’s not Dak or Zeke’s job to handle the cap. Their job is to get paid.

I don't blame him for that, but I'm realistic. If his going rate gets too high, the team would not be able to afford the players around him that we need to succeed. Dak could end up on another team in order to be paid as much as possible. If he does, I'm not going to hate his guts or anything. I didn't hate Demarco Murray. The team simply could not afford to pay him what another team could. It was that simple.

ok, great. awesome...can you get with other Dak Fanatics and make sure they understand there is 10 other players on the field. seemingly they credit dak with all the come back wins.... and keep throwing that stat around.
