I suggest you do the same because no one's reading any of this but us and I'm telling you what I know from watching the Cowboys since 2009 when they moved in there and it has had not an effect on any big game and any big moment just because there was a handful of plays just like anything else that people can pick out and complain and whine about and use excuses about that don't make it right that doesn't make you right I already listed they people are gonna complain about the wind the rain the snow there's been some epic and I mean epically bad games played because of weather especially in Buffalo in northern States and do they make them get closed in stadiums no they make the teams who are visiting deal with it some of them can't even throw a 5 yard pass in some of those games then there was all those games we had to play against the 49ers that were full of mud pits and holes literally worst field conditions I've ever seen did people make excuses for that did they make them change things about that stadium because of one or two plays no they said it's just part of the game it's part of that atmosphere for that stadium until you get that we are done talking the weather has always been part of football and just because they moved indoors doesn't mean that there aren't gonna be unique things about a stadium that may or may not affect a few plays a year a year per year we're not talking about games being lost because of a few glares this only happens in like 2 games a year and only three total plays because that's when the angle of the sun is that it's worse like we saw last week but that game was over... That play meant nothing in the grand scheme of things just something to whine and complain about like you all like to do and I'm telling you it's a non story instead one thing that I agree with Jerry on people know it going in just like they knew the scoreboard when you punted you might have to put a little different it's no different than any of the other stadiums that may have weird turf weird humps like old Texas stadium I already brought this up people just adjusted and dealt with it they're not little Sissy babies whiny prima donnas the fan base has become the new soft NFL you all are soft you're soft you're buying into this height the dead player really truly effects outcomes and games and it doesn't it's no different than anything else I've seen baseball games where guys have lost the ball in either the sun or the lights on the indoor stadium and do they complain and it needs to be changed no this is be....d it's a dumb story it's a non factor..

Of course the players are gonna complain about it because they're already playing bad this year they're running bad routes they're dropping passes they're complaining and waiting on the sidelines because it's a bad year typically it's just sweeping under the rug and you move on but of course the media is hyping it up because it's scary in the Cowboys making this a story as if it's something it's nothing I'm telling you it's less than nothing so how about that why don't you bring that somewhere while you're eating this morning and you can well I'm not gonna get bits for you but you know what you can do with it it's a non factor a non story and it's dumb talking about it bye bye.
Well done blueblood70....you have a book ready for publishing......"How to get a new Stadium". Well done.....forget the poor play, get a new stadium.

In the 2022 playoff loss against the 49ers, Cedrick Wilson didn’t even attempt to catch one Dak Prescott pass, ducking out of the way because he simply couldn’t see anything. There’s more but you write a novel obviously not knowing what you’re talking about.
The sun doesn’t affect anything. Jerry the idiot, did it his way he deserves all the pain

I don’t hate Dak for seeking to maximize his compensation; there is not one of us here who wouldn’t attempt to do the same in our respective occupations. Do I think his play justifies his contract? I don’t, but that is not the issue.
I blame Jerry for signing Dak to a $60 MM per year contract without making him try to earn it; Dak couldn’t get it done at $40 MM per year and add to that his horrid play in the GB playoff loss. Moreover, Jerry had 8 years to develop an exit strategy in the event the organization wanted to move on from Dak…but Jerry’s ego, arrogance, ignorance or whatever you want to call it prohibited him from doing so.

I think Jerry needs a defense too, since the reference to GB. We need work all around. No need to simply blame one or two (Cee Dee too). It's Jerry that appears to be fooling a lot of people. Now if you want marked down prices......we have Cooper showing you what it means. Poor Cooper.

I wonder , Who wrote Daks contract ?

there is no way they had the teams best interest when they wrote that . i guess dak's agent wrote it himself.

its so one sided , its insane .

People can criticize Dak for his play and they can judge him for his salary demands, but there is only one person that screwed the Cowboys with that contract and he's not a player or a coach.

Dak did not force the team to offer him that contract. The team chose to do that. The decision was theirs to make and live with, and now they are.
He literally took them to the cleaners twice and the clauses in the first deal Stephen agreed to doomed them for the second one.

Jerry is Jerry. He listens to his "trusted" people, often people who are out of touch with modern NFL business, but he is who he is. Stephen handling contracts is the true culprit for the Cowboys current troubles.

' the cowboys cannot trade prescott to another team without his consent . and the no-franchise tag clause means dak cannot be franchise tagged


one side pile of garbage , its awful .

Dak is now the first player in NFL history to have an average salary of $60 million and Graziano determined that $231 million, or 96 percent of the contract's total value, is fully guaranteed.


insane .

Paying Dak that kind of money AND giving Dak a no trade clause was monumentally stupid. Teams will eventually figure out that you can’t just pay the next man up a record setting deal if that player isn’t a world beater. And even then it’s a huge albatross to overcome.
Exactly. Qb pay has got to be addressed in the next CBA. There are 52 other guys on the roster that need to get paid. It's unfair for Qbs to suck down so much cap in a team sport.
