Video: Dak's uncle discusses family, frustration with media

[Corso]

Jackson Mahomes is probably better than Dak.

You think he's more accurate?
lol
Dude's tweet game is strong I guess!

 

[Cboyfan4ever]

Dak has that star on his helmet put any other symbol on there and hes considered one of the best QBs in the nfl

No he’s not.

 

[DandyDon52]

I didnt see anything wrong with the uncle or what he said.
He has the right to speak his mind, just like we do.

He has a relationship with this guy who does the show, he said he calls him during games sometimes, and this guy may have
invited him to be on his show.

nothing wrong with this at all, just imo.

 

[Zman5]

Meh. If Dak's family didn't defend him, same people complaining about them now will be complaining Dak's such a loser even his family don't defend him.

 

[RS12]

40 mill should wipe away all his tears, or he could try hitting a receiver in stride. Just a thought.

 

[Dre11]

I think it's really tacky that his family feels the need to come to his defense like this on public platforms.

Play better, and people will shut up.

No they won't, they'll still complain, the proof is right here on this board.

Make $150k and live your life in peace, make $40+ million and you are going to have to take the good with the bad most likely publicly. His family members are not really helping his situation imo.

 

[Zekeats]

I have a crazy drunk uncle too

 

[J_Allen]

Stop losing in the first round and I bet all the criticism will end.

Don't sign a contract for 40 million a season and then stop doing your job.

Dak crying to his family...

what people don't understand is that just because you become a millionaire overnight doesn't mean you automatically can ignore negative feedback. Theres people on here who hate when only ONE poster disagrees with them, so imagine thousands/millions of people doing the same.

*Super run-off sentence coming but stay with me

I assume many of us are employed, so imagine you're mostly humble, don't bother anybody, you work hard, harder than everyone else you know, and you become one of the top people at your job, you get a mega pay raise, and then suddenly whenever you make a mistake (at max 15-20 a year), you have to hear a bunch of people talk about how you suck even though 99% of them couldn't do any of the stuff you're capable of doing. Then when you say "whoa why are y'all doing this to me?" they say, "that comes with the job, deal with it. If you didn't want to deal with this, you shouldn't have worked as hard as you did to be in this position".

 

[elcowboi]

People in general love to be mad about something including a lot on this site...

 

[Runwildboys]

Did Troy Aikman's Family come out to be "apologists" for him in the 90s? I Cant remember I was too young lol

To be fair, there wasn't an internet presence like there is now, even if they would have.

If I was making $40 mil, they could say whatever they want and I'd be laughing all the way to the bank.

Even if your a dak fan which I’m closer to a fan than a hater based on the definitions here you have to be getting annoyed with his family always publicly bashing fans and or the fan base.

daks a big boy, he gets paid a ton of money to perform every Sunday. When he plays great he’s praised when he plays bad he gets killed it’s the life of a pro player and even more so a Dallas cowboy.

I agree, I really want Dak's family to not call out or use other QBs as examples in defending Dak. Nor do I want his family to call out Dallas Cowboys teammates in defense of Dak. I support them with wanting to support Dak but please stop crossing those 2 boundaries. It makes Dak look weak minded and if you're not a fan of Dak it's fuel to the fire and you're a fan of Dak it's offputting.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

The media pressures Dak too much .

 

[bigE79]

They only get more and more pathetic.

Hey Unc, my opinion is your nephew's a fraud. Before and after the injury.

Risen,you called this years ago when he was given the job,same with jaylon...I need lottery numbers..lol

 

[Cowpolk]

I want to know what his uncles third cousin 4 times removed has to say

 

[America's Cowboy]

I mean what does he want? That fans and media just fawn all over him, even when he plays poorly?

There is a growing sense of entitlement in sports with these guys. Where they think that because they put on the uniform they should be given whatever they want, treated however they want, be largely free of criticism, etc. The extreme example right now is Ben Simmons in the NBA.

Hey Dak, you are the QB of the Dallas Cowboys. It's one of the most visible positions in all of sports. You had a choice a year ago where you could have just opted to not resign in Dallas and go to another team, maybe a place like Jacksonville where there would be less pressure to win, less media and fan focus, etc.

But you didn't do that. You chose to take the money and play in Dallas. With that comes certain things, one being you are going to get scrutinized and yes, criticized, when you don't play well. Whining about it now, or worse having your family whine about it for you, is just lame.

It just is.

And you know for certain Dak is behind having his family fight for him on social media???

 

[Cowpolk]

No he’s not.

He is actually one of the best QB's on the planet
