It was Bob Sturm's prediction by yesterday at 8:48 pm, which was seven days after he posted the tweet. Of course, Sturm could have meant a week equals eight days but I would think he should have said 'By next weekend...' instead if he wanted to include Saturday or even Sunday.
Exactly.
As far as motivation is concerned, it's the same. At the amateur level they play their best to get noticed. Then after they're drafted, they play their best to get paid the most. A championship is the last thing on their minds up until that point. We have to count on their competitive nature to actually win a championship.
Not holding out likely shows other more things than it ever shows leadership. For example, he doesn't want to be fined and lose money everyday because he knows an extension here or elsewhere could be pushed into doubt and he knows losing hundreds of thousands of dollars will diminish his capability to live really comfortably. It could also be a sign that he's just greedy. It could also be due to fear because there's a young QB on the roster that was a former 3rd pick in the draft that is waiting in the wings that could gain more repetitions in his absence and possibly prove quicker that this player is worthy to be the next starting QB on the team and take his place.
Like Dak gives a rat's behind what any of us think? Lol...that's part of the problem...Many think Dak and Jerry hear them whining or praising them, so this forumjas become 90% aboit them....In the meantime we have many other players busting their butts to earn a job and no one seems to care.
A couple of million is way more than enough, and you can kick rocks with your labeling people "disgusting" for it.
Good for him.
Not what Cowboys fans were hoping to hear. Sounds like Dak is looking for $60 million or more in which case I say, have a nice career Dak, somewhere other than Dallas.
well said,,, and throw in your team mates too Dak, they should be more "brothers" to you than unnamed QBs in the future. I don't begrudge anybody any amount of money or put limits on how much an individual can have, but if you're a leader and you're about leading your team to a championship then how much of the pie you're eating is an issue. If we're building a race car to win we can't be spending half the budget on a loose steering wheel.
He is definitely standing up and taking command.Yep, so Dak's playing hard ball an altruistic act for his family and fellow players.....I've got no problem him saying I want most/more money, but then deflecting his reasoning onto other's is just another instance of him not standing up and taking command.....similar to the play-off Dak.
The question back to Dak is .......how many years are they offering you, or is your intention to hit free agency again (on your terms) in say 3 years time?
At least someone is holding him accountable….
Post of the year. Short, succinct, to the point, accurate.
Excellent....we'll see Dak Haters hopefully after the 2024 regular Season for your annual Hate Convention
Agreed
Dak, that is the polar opposite of the way you handled your last contract. Quit spewing nonsense. If you're going to be excessively greedy, own it. At least then I can respect you.
