Fan Team Dak musings

[Blitzen]

1. Who cares if another fan loves or dislikes Dak (or another player) as QB (or other position) of the Cowboys? Every fan wants ultimate success for the team-SB win.

2. There is no profession in fandom. Quit taking your fandom and anyone else’s so seriously. It’s pretentious and absurd.

3. Don’t get too emotionally attached to players for the team. It’s a rugged sport and careers can be fleeting.

4. Other people will continue to hold an opinion no matter how well you argue your case. It could be pride, ignorance, or spite. Accept that reality and realize repetitive posts to the same individuals will yield the exact same results.

5. Some fans are results oriented. Some fans are emotionally needy oriented. Some fans are more excited by bigger games with higher stakes. Some fans are just as excited by the fact that there continue to be seasons featuring their favorite team-no matter the game or stakes.

I view the upcoming season with very mild interest because of the current trajectory of the current starting QB and head coach-when looking at the macro-view of the past seasons, the current surrounding cast-and off-season moves. Lots of core players on expiring contracts and contracts that can be dropped easily after the season. Lots of coaching changes and one year contracts. Not much spending on outside or inside free agents. Any upcoming extensions will not help land outside free agents for this season-though they could potentially trade for someone.

The upcoming season seems like “Groundhog Day,” with a slightly downward trend. I’m more interested in games versus Baltimore and San Francisco than other games because of the tier of those teams-and what the matchup might signal with regards to potential playoff exploits. I’ve been wasting time trying to go back to sleep-g’nite y’all.

Dallas fans love the time honored Okie Dokie. They will be back for more pain shortly.

I’d throw Cleveland into that group as well. I am excited to see this young, rebuilt offensive line going against good defensive lines. That will help give a trajectory of the future. I’m also kind of excited about the youth movement on both sides of the ball and it looks like we may have some decent LBer play with O coming back.

This season will be interesting because it’s almost like a 17 game preseason the way the FO is approaching it. So we’ll see what happens. My hope for this season is we have a solid clear cut answer at QB going into 2025. Whether it’s Dak, Trey, Rush or whoever I hope the play of the QB room leaves no doubt what should be done. Either positive or negative. IMO 2024 will be success if we get young guys experience and end the season having a QB we can believe in, regardless who that is. And obviously if we can’t believe in someone on this roster we know what to draft. No more of this riding the fence with the QB, that’s driving everyone crazy.
