Not Wilson. He has been part of the problem.
Lewis is one of the few veterans still doing his job and playing well.

Let's see what is a fan and a nonfan...
Definitions of sports fan. noun. an enthusiastic devotee of sports. synonyms: fan, rooter.
https://www.vocabulary.com › ...
Sports fan - Definition, Meaning & Synonyms - Vocabulary.com
On the contrary, ......
Some words that might be used to describe someone who is not a sports fan include:
nonfan, detractor, critic, carper, belittler, and nonadmirer.
A sports fan is someone who is an enthusiastic devotee of sports. A fan is different from a spectator (who watches sports but does not have the same level of affiliation with the sport).
Sounds like Dak is right.

No 60 million qb should of missed as many throws as he has this year. I'm not a Dak hater, but he hasn't even played like a top 15 qb this year (it's early).

You understand the definition of a 'bandwagon fan', right? Dak clearly has no idea what a bandwagon fan is - the Dallas Cowboys don't have any.
Like I just said a few pages back, I don't need you or Dak telling me how I'm supposed to 'fan'. After following this team for 49 years I think I've earned the right to be a fan in any way I choose, and neither you or Dak gets to tell me otherwise.

One of the jabs people take at Marines like me and Rocky is that we enjoy eating crayons. There's even a Wiki page talking about it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayon-eating_Marine_trope).
It suggests that Marines lack intelligence, and judging by the misspelling in the thread title there might be something to that.

"Bandwagon fan" can easily pertain to anyone who either wasn't alive or who became a fan after our last Super Bowl championship 30 years ago...but now refuses to support this team. That's the perfect definition of a "bandwagon fan".

When was the last time Dak tucked it and ran for a key first down when it was not there. The guy lays down now. He is not good enough to just lay down.

This is all Dak can give? What?
I think Dak can be much better, and I think he will be. When did you start to be a Dak basher?

I am not going to criticize effort by anyone because you can't really tell what level of effort anyone is giving from watching them on TV. But I will say the defense does not play like a team. They play as individuals and no matter the effort they are going to fail.
Whether they are seeking QB sacks or INTs, they are not doing what they are supposed to be doing and they are giving up plays as a result. What they need to do is what they are supposed to do.

Not only is that definition not perfect, it's not even remotely plausible.
That someone who "wasn't alive" the last time the Cowboys won a Lombardi could be accused of being a bandwagon fan literally makes absolutely zero logical sense.
We've got plenty that we can agree to disagree about but this is basic comprehension of the English language at a 3rd or 4th grade level.
Choose another hill to die on pard. This one isn't it.

lol.
No one has the power to enforce 'YOU LEAVE!' commands. This is the internet. It is not anyone's front yard.

Per Merriam-Webster.com:
_______________
It would be nice if people stopped changing the meanings of words to fit their understanding. It is okay when individuals cannot agree about their favorite team. That is a disagreement.
It is not logical to label someone else a bandwagon fan if that other person continues having a conversation about their favorite team. By definition, a bandwagoner would stop talking and move on to something else that interested them more. It is possible they might re-claim fanship for a team they stopped following at a later time but that action would further validate the term's actual definition.
bandwagoner noun (link)
: a person who takes part in or becomes enthusiastic about something only when it is popular or fashionable_______________
