That post again shows your leaning to support Dak....you think by saying 'DAK IS LIMITED' is you being fair and impartial, but you have to go on and on in a pseudo support or criticism of the alternatives.
WHEN HAVE I EVER SAID DRAFTING A QB IN 2025? I haven't, but here's the plan....
1) Dak is under center in 2025.
2) This is a 'show me' year FOR EVERYONE, it's going to be a young team, with a new coach.
3) We need to realistically STOP with this idea of Restructering 100m... when that's a short term plaster. Don't waste CAP on 2/3 year contracts, as that's our window to compete.
4) Free Agency -look to elite LT. Poss. Robinson or Stanley,
5) Draft DT, running game. I'd even seriously considering drafting out of the 1st Rd for 2026 draft capital (especially if we can get another 1st RD).
6) Evaluate Dak on the season. Can he work with less....to be fair with his contract, CD, Micah (extension), Tyler (extension) and a LT (see pt 4) and a 2nd/3Rd RB ....he's not going to get a massive influx of talent....so the next improvement has to come from him.
7) If we fail again, then cutting Dak as a Post June cut is a very serious consideration....rather than add the $140m extra via the addition Base Salary.
8) if we've gone and drafted out of this 1st draft pick, it'll give us two 1st Rd picks in 2026....that's when we see us drafting a QB.
9) the alternative is that Dak can manage this younger roster and we proceed as normal.
again, you are fishing. thanks for once again proving my point. I didn't just dump on Dak, and you say I am supporting him. the 1% extremist Dak haters are so predictable. like you just confirmed, I called him limited and you took issue with that, because you want me to just dump dump dump. If I don't say, he sucks, aboslutely horrible, piss of crap QB to the Nth degree, then I am a supporter or as you tried to invent a new category, called Pseudo supporter (what in the hell does that even mean!!!). that's pretty stupid.
btw, I didn't say draft is the only option, perhaps my assumption because what other alternatives are there?, given the one precenters want to draft draft draft as I have heard mentioned often.... you mention Daniels and fawn & drool over him, look at what he did for washington, then should I assume you are not talking draft? ok, lets go other alternatives. what do you got!? I mean I asked for a plan. given nothing is really out in FA, then what other options are there? UDFA perhaps.
and why why why why even have 2025 as "show me" year. you dump on him, accuse me of being a supporter because I am not incessantly dumping on him, yet you still want a "show me year"? what is there to show? what else you want to see given you are 130% convinced he is not it. and why do you need to prove to anybody else anything? are you looking to win an argument for those who support him (or the ones that don't dump on him 1000% of the time)? is that your ultimate goal? ...given you want a "show me" year for EVERYONE as you highlighted. you want to evaluate Dak with less talent around him!!!! why? how the heck does that make sense....if you think he had talent around him and couldn't, now you want less talent to evaluate what!!!? that made zero sense coming from you as a one percenter....., when everyone including myself says, he needs a good supporting cast.
what you said there is "lets set him up to fail", then "I showed you he can't"...."so now I proved you wrong"..........which is again, not benefiting cowboys but your point of argument and winning an argument being your ultimate goal. you want to prove to EVERYONE you are right.
I am on record this past summer advocating not to resign Dak. get through the contract in 24, and then move on. if there is a big market for him, then great, let him walk. if you, we, others are convinced he is not the guy, then why waste a "show me year" or resign him. I said, its beneficial for both. Dak is not going to win in dallas. for that matter, I don't think anyone is going to win in dallas as long as jerry is in charge.
the rest of what you said is hypothetical, trade out of 1st, not add talent, and then lets see what happens, now draft a QB in the first in 26 because we have two firsts....
and all of this is moot, why? because Jerry is not doing any of that. Jerry is making money off of Dak and that's Jerry's ultimate goal. when you see it from Jerry's eyes, Dak makes a lot of sense for him.
