Dak's No Trade Clause

[Nav22]

The solution is to draft a QB and stop overpaying for an average QB.

Okay, let's draft a QB and if he's better than Dak, we'll move on from Dak.

And if the QB is a scrub (which is MUCH more likely than him being better than Dak), Dak won't be going anywhere.

That's how football works.

Remember Stephen McGee? Only an idiot would've said "OKAY WE DRAFTED MCGEE, LET'S GET RID OF ROMO NOW!!!"

It's pretty inevitable that Jerry is going to extend Dak. Between his 2023 cap hit being untenable and being able to cite two playoff births and one win (I know it's not good enough for us but it is for Jerry) since signing the deal, it's going to happen.

Extending Dak has nothing to do with the 2 playoff births or winning a playoff game.

It's simple a matter of dollars and cents. His money has to be moved around as intended when the deal was written.

No matter the owner, GM, HC, playcaller or personnel support...This still does not excuse an elite paid QB of the team to make consistently poor decisions with the ball in his hands when different decisions in real time would have altered the outcome of the game.

The NFL power triangle to NFL success is outanding GM, HC and QB.

Just because Jerry hired the HC and drafted the QB does not give the HC and QB to be poor decision makers at their job.

Is Jerry "ultimately" responsible for the HC's hiring and the drafting of the QB?
YES.
Does that eliminate the HC and QB from team blame when they fail?
NO.

That's the "present" Cowboys reality.

But what if the QB isn’t elite as billed and is being hyped as such to support the owner over paying him?

And he’s also responsible for meddling with his HC’s which all creates this culture which isn’t conducive for a higher level of success.

We’ve seen similar results this era with different QB’s and HC’s throughout with one constant in place. The GM.

The solution is to draft a QB and stop overpaying for an average QB.

But what if the over paid QB generates enough interest and relative competitive nature for our owner to hype his product to keep the cash registers ringing.

That’s a security blanket for our owner. To him that’s a better scenario than risking taking a step back for the opportunity for more success.

 

[Diehardblues]

The Problem is, that we have a GM that is worse than 70% of the NFL.

Yea, but the thing is he’s built a good enough team to remain interesting and relative.

Jethro Jone$ can sell the hell out of a 13 win playoff team.

 

[raven55]

the jones clan doesn't have any football knowledge as was seen by all when they traded amari cooper for what they got when if there had been a real gm probadly would have gotten more but the clowns in charge thought that was a great deal. if they were gona give him away why even trade for him but that goes with there name dumb and dumber

Yep, well said.
But CATCH17 summed it up even better...
"We need to stop trying to figure out ways to win with Dak. We paid him to be the answer not the problem."

End of discussion.

i would say worse than that.

 

[Cmac]

The Salary Capologists on this board at it again. Micah, wait until you come off the rookie contract......you'll find out how much you are loved with your play (after pay) and twitter action...... soon enough.

Ignorant isn’t an insult McFly. We’re all ignorant about many things You included.

Even when there's a post above about attacking another members, you still do it. It absolutely is an insult. Your whole point for stating it to begin with was to create drama. And don't insult my intelligence by stating that you weren't. I facilitate a handful of leadership trainings every year in my company and I'd use your example as what not to say in trying to deal with other people. There's a much better way to get your point across. You just need to use your words. But I get it. Neither side wants be the first to step up. Pride has led to the fall of many nations in the past. Even your snarky comment back to me tells me as much. You just can't get out of your own way...

I’m not sure our ownership sees it as such. Dak is helping keep this franchise interesting and relative . That’s Jethro and Sons top priority.

These dimwits in our sky box can hype and promote the hell out of Dak and 13 win playoff seasons . He’s a very marketable guy. It’s actually quite amazing they’ve been able to build a team this competitive.

But we must steer our attention of criticism to the root of the problem . Because they are pleased with the results. It’s them who over paid and continue over hyping Prescott. They got us into this mess.

Dak appears to be doing all he can with the ability and talent level he has. If we are counting on him alone to carry us then we are misguided by the hype and hoopla.

The franchise is always relevant even when they are losing. As Kelce said, this team is benefiting from the pop culture perception because we haven't won crap in decades.

No doubt but Jethro would prefer not having to face the firing squad with 5-11 type seasons.

13 win playoff seasons is much more marketable and he takes on less criticism and ridicule to make wholesale changes.

You’re ignorant about what the word ignorant means.

”lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing”

That’s you.

Yup, you sorta nailed it Diehard, BUT neither the HC or QB ARE elite and like you said, are marketed as though they are.
My point was they(McCarthy and Dak) still share in their own individual portions of team failure as well.

Just not as large a share of the blame as Jerry.

Both Mac and Dak now OR whomever the next HC and QB are...They still have to perform as better decision makers.
As a HC.
And as the QB.

I think both of them are poor at their job at decision making.

Regardless of Jerry's meddling.

And I think poor decision making by this HC and "especially" this QB is at the foundation of team failure.

No matter IF Jerry is their GM or not.
Or personnel suppport.

Anti-Dak Cult Members:

Not too bright. Can't spell "Santa Claus."

Hmm... I saw it as a play on of words. Homophones are awesome.

 

[boysfanperiod]

Cut Dak, sign Jimmy g and backload his deal. Team has no balls though so expect an extension.

That's probably what Jerry should do if he's serious about winning one. Le sigh. I don't know if Jimmy is much of an upgrade.

 

[boysfanperiod]

Dak won't agree to remove the no trade clause because that's his assurance that he will remain a Cowboy and not get traded away to a basement dwelling team that is willing to give the Cowboys high draft picks.

Honestly, that would be a better deal for him since he is slightly above average. I kid.

Understood and agree to a point as there are several contributing factors. But if our QB and coaching isn’t Elite and we know our GM is even worse why would we expect them to have more success than they are having?

I understand the frustration but honestly I’m amazed with this core of GM, HC and QB we are having as much success as we are.

 

[triplets_93]

i would say worse than that.

I was being kind, but you are correct.
