Dak's season ending injury was the most cupcake injury I've ever seen

[Runwildboys]

You saw Dak's X-rays? You know how to read imaging? You consulted with Dak, his trainers and his doctors?
How do you know he tore tissue from the bone? Who told you? Dak?
The upshot is you do not know, correct?
Neither do I. Neither does the critic.
@TheCritic, from what I read of his post, he implied Dak's injury was dubious to him. Or that Dak opted to make a fuss over something relatively minor.
So why even weigh in on his injury to which medical records we are not privvy or can not decipher?
To me, the injury comes at a convenient time for Dak, the $60 mil man who could not bear the humiliation of going 8-9.
So let's enjoy Dak's absence while we look at the talented Lance and Rush and anybody Yoda brings in from the sticks.

I was going to post an article for you, but I'm not sure if it's a source we're allowed to post, so just Google it.

Dak's season ending injury was the most cupcake injury I've ever seen! Not even touched, just some random fluke injury that only a 60 million a year QB that doesn't want to deal with the inconvenience of having some rookie OLs blocking for him. Poor baby...

this is not defending him. but have you seen runner do the same? its usually when you are not overly flexible and have tight tendons and it rips. remember Tyron Smith had a similar injury a couple of years back in practice, stepped back into a stance and he went down...

I think people need to just get a hold of themselves on all this conspiracy theories.

you should aim all your anger at one Jerry Jones the root cause of all the issue.

If we were a playoff team, rest assured he would be back and try to let it heal on its own. Dak is a lot of things, but a quitter he is not. This is likely similar to a pitcher who has shoulder inflammation in September, and either plays/rests based on his teams postseason chances

I think everyone will try to avoid surgery if possible. It could heal on his own but in this case there's a risk of it taking longer, not healing properly and them needing surgery later or dealing with future limitations.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

He was playing like crap. The team was 3-5 and just getting worse.

I never said he was looking for an injury.

I just said I believe that given the options he was always going to opt for the one that kept him out the longest.

hmmm, how do you opt for an injury that keeps you out? perhaps he took a knife to his hammy prior to the game, just to loosen things a bit. right?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

So many season ending injuries are non-contact, not sure what this is about?

pure unadultrated unreasonable idiotic hatred.

 

[IceStar-D7]

The whole team have cupcake injuries...Why just single out, Dak???...Asking for a friend......

 

[75boyz]

Well, that's why I've had many threads about various plans centered around the fact we can be out of his contract in 2026 or 2027 with June 1 cuts. If we are smart, we can use this time to prep the team for a new QB, get the new QB in the building this year or next year, and then let them sit a year behind Dak like Mahomes did Alex Smith. That way, we have a QB in position to succeed if we play it smartly.

"Play it smartly".
I just don't think so bro but your optimistic opinion is respected.

You keep getting "opinions" until you find one that suits you best.

Well, I appreciate it haha. Hopefully they'll at least use some of my ideas haha.

so get a "surgery" to fake that you are injured, perhaps make sure you pay the doctor, hospital, nurses and everybody to keep it quiet.

...me 2. It's a copout reason to finish the Bleak season of 24'. Half season barely over.

Its gonna be long, fellas.

Not to mention that he got a second opinion to try to see if there was a way to get back sooner.

You play football with a hamstring torn off the bone. Let me know how that works out for you.

Surgery was not required.

You buying that?

He got an out and he took it.

3-5 while having his worst season of his career.

Based on everything I've heard about his character, yes I do. I have many critiques of Dak, but his character isn't one of them.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Insurance only pays out with a season ending injury. There’s significant financial incentive to keep him out.

 

[DallasInDC]

It happens, but I'd like to see him actually play in preseason. But I will say this, calling the injury "cupcake" is ridiculous. Non contact injuries are among the worst, and they happen. He's one of many players that have had it this season and will have it this season.

Get well soon Dak!

Exactly loy of ACL injuries have happened without a player ever being touched.

Yup, and, especially with the injuries I've had in my life, I won't doubt the possibility of Dak tearing his hamstring the way it's reported with the way he reacted. He looked to be in immense pain.
