I’m not saying you’re wrong but I’m going to go back to my first thought. I wish our team competed on the field as much as they compete off the field with their salaries. Or I wish Jerry would stop rewarding players that play with little urgency. Either way I’d be happy. As a fan I want my players to care about winning.
As a fan it’s very discouraging and disappointing that Dak said he owes it to his QB brothers to get as much money as he can. If I was CD or any other Cowboy I’d be furious if anyone on my team put their position as a higher priority than the team. Dak needs to stop saying the soft part loud. There’s some things he needs to keep to himself. He’s not had a good week with this issue. He started the week by saying “be a fan or don’t be a fan “ and he’s ending the week with this.
I don't think they see it the same way that you, or that fans do. They put in a lot of hard work, believe they are giving it all they've got and their results individually put them among the top players at their position. They are not going to see a team failure as reflective of what they should get from their bosses.
I do agree that he could keep some of that to himself, though. Sometimes players when asked questions don't answer the best way that they can. We need to understand that they have to attend these interviews. They could say, "No comment," or "I'm not going to discuss that," but I don't know if fans would perceive that any better. I'm sure there are plenty of times where they see their comments and the reaction to them and think they could have said that better.
