Twitter: Dak's Efficiency Is Trending The Wrong Way

[Ken]

I'm not proud to be right about Dak.

I wish I was wrong.

Yes, you are right bc Chris "Mad Dog" Russo says he stinks. You are right because of a chart that shows a negative trending line. You are right bc our team crumbled around him in the playoffs.

Yup...take the victory lap...lol

I take no pride in being right about Dak being a bum that is trending the wrong way, I assure you.

For me it's quite simple. Dak is an above average QB that can be on a SB winning team i.e. Brad Johnson, Mark Rypien and/or Trent Dilfer. I'd go so far as to say I believe him to better than those I listed. BUT, top 10 means little if you CAN'T win the big games when the lights are brightest IMO. His track record against above .500 teams and perennial playoff contenders leaves a lot to be desired. Kudos for stats and personal accolades, but eventually if you don't win the big games it's a hard case to prove elite status. I'll pull for him while he wears the star, but I won't be too shocked or disheartened to see him go in the next year or two if what he's done to date is his ceiling

And top 10 paid like top 2 is a huge drag on the team.

actually now he is no longer top 2.....

and still not sure what the contract value has to do with anything. you sound jealous more than anything else

Maybe in the future but his cap hit in 2021 might not have even been top 15. You guys making this argument about his salary being a "drag on the team" are projecting. It has yet to happen. Maybe it will in the future.. and then you can get mad about it.. But it didn't happen in 2021 and since they are likely restructuring 2022 it won't happen this year either.. You guys are going to have to wait until at lest 2023 to make the "he's costing too much money against the cap" argument. Well people who hate Dak want him making no more than 5 mil a year.. but there is nothing to gained from talking to those idiots.

Don't know that you can say that, Ron. Need disruptors at DT and better OL's in a bad way. His drag on the team may be already happening.

Jealous? You sound not too bright more than anything else.

Do you seriously not understand the implications to the cap of large contracts? I mean, this is ABC stuff.

 

[lonestar2288]

I'm so over the whole salary thing at this point. That's more on the Jones' Boys then Dak himself. Won't fault a person for seeking his maximum value. Personally, as a GM I would have either pulled the trigger much earlier or made the unpopular decision to move on. Moving forward though it's totally on Dak to live up to the salary. Not to say he can't or won't have the bad game. Just that he needs better performances when the lights are brightest to say he's earned it

Sure you don't.

It's ok, enjoy your offseason of bashing the QB who just came back from a horrific career-threatening injury, you are amazing!

How? The only way the argument can be made is if he is eating up too much of the cap. To date other than the franchise tag year he has not topped 10-12%. This year he would jump to closer to 15-18% if they don't restructure.. but by all accounts that's a done deal the instant the league year kicks off. So he's going to stay in the 10-12% range for at least this year... and there are reportedly provisions for them to do the same thing in 2023 in anticipation of the new TV deal adding 100 million a year to the cap in 2024. Well not 100 million all at once but 100 million over where it sits now. Dak's contract is not impeding the Cowboys' ability to get play makers one iota. Again.. not yet anyway. I am also not willing to blame Dak for the Joneses stalling and letting his market value get to where it did. They could have extended him at the end of 2018 for 20-25 million a year and avoided all of this. And that contract would likely be in its final year this year so that if they concluded he wasn't "the guy" they could walk away gratis. Anger over his price tag is misdirected if it is directed at him.

I'm amazing?

Well, thank you!

please explain the ABC stuff. what implications...the anger and hatred is blinding you.

FYI, Dak's cap hit in 2021 was 17M....go figure the ABC stuff.

what an amateur!!!

 

[lonestar2288]

If you're having to go to a player to restructure their contract, you are in fact saying they are taking up to much of the salary cap IMO

He doesn't care about the cap implications as long as he gets to watch Dak play.

These guys act like Dak being rich somehow benefits them personally. It's weird and strange behavior to say the least.

Cowboys fans care about cap implications. Dak fans only care about watching Dak.

I have no idea what your agenda is w/ this jealously drivel. It shows that you appear to have no comprehension. There is definitely something blinding you, no idea what it is. Might want to reword to avoid this obvious problem you have.

lol

Or it was planned to free up cap, like they do every year with the best players.

I would care if he wasn't performing among his peers as the best in the NFL.

Until that happens...no concern here. I am more concerned with the handicapped RB we are paying $18 mill to that we can't cut or it will be $30 mill. That is the main area of concern for me.

But if you restructure the contract and they never actually take up the projected cut of the cap, then did they ever actually take up too much of the salary cap? Mind you restructuring is about the cap.. the player still gets the same amount of money.. in fact because the restructures typically convert into bonuses.. they actually get MORE money up front. So it's not about their worth.. it's just bookkeeping.. Making it into some sort of indictment of the player's value is misguided at best.

The op got 3 thread on the first page. They all are on the qb....lol

Rent free! Prescott must have really hit a nerve!

Actually, that's all he ever comments on. That's it.
