Someone called me an up and down hater or something. I can HONESTLY see Dak having record numbers this year. Why? It seems like he has up and down seasons. Didn't play well last year, he'll come back and will be 2nd in MVP votes, in 2026, he'll be a turnover machine again!
You'd have to ask Dak, but I assume he got a record contract and heard some noise. Then he tried to play up to his contract. He put that pressure on himself. This is just my theory. I have no idea why he looked terrible last season.
..yep, thats pretty much it. Gotta get over Post season blues.
He looks terrible the season before too. He starts seasons off slow. If he feels pressure it would be I imagine in the playoffs when it comes around.
Dak has already cemented his legacy.... and oddly enough, it is kind of in line with Jerrys:
His legacy isn’t cemented unless he retire this year.
What he's 'owed'? Hell, he's in the 10th year of his career and we're still waiting for him to start earning what he's already been paid.
No. It goes back to you asking why a ten year vet would still feel pressure after ten years of feeling pressure. I quoted the post it went back to. Don't rabbit hole it.
When Dak got his 45 mil a season back in 2020 or 2021 he said that now was the time to go for a super bowl. He failed to fulfill that promise. September 2024 he got a 60 mil a season extension, and then played horribly for 8 games before limping off the field. Now he claims he's playing for the championship in an attempt to cement his legacy.
The real question here is if any lesson will be learned by Jerry and Spalding?
He got what he was owed. You see his salary. Just because other people took less doesn't mean the universe didn't give him what he was owed.
What is the lesson? Don't sign your All Pro? Stupid lesson to learn lol.
You can't jump into a conversation/debate that mean and Creeper have and when you miss out on everything that happened prior you claim to be getting caught in the "rabbit hole".
Was he an all pro-riding the bench in street cloths? Oh wait, about the only thing he looked competent at.
I agree. Dak has always had that company man, platitudinal air about him when he speaks. He's smart enough to know what he should say, and he says it. A salesman selling hope.
I highly doubt he cares. But his fan club takes everything he says as gospel and are convinced he actually means all the things he says.
Exceeded expectations? Whose expectations and what were they? If raping Jerry for every penny he could get was his goal, he was overwhelmingly successful. Otherwise, he has failed miserably at fulfilling the expectations of fans and media who crave playoff success and super bowls.
