because the standard is for the team, coaches, and FO together. Its not on the qb alone and its ignorant for a fanbase to blame 1 player or one side of the ball for team loss over 3 decades.. was dak born in 1996?? that why tell your wife or whomever you are backing, im with Mike ...

don't be Myopic , Dak cant run the ball, open holes, control the game without help, the OL been the biggest issue in many of our recent losses, defense before that, and run Romos rein was it on him Murray fumbled? Baily missed 32 fgs and the ref blew the dez catchy. No we can go back to every loss and find the iSSUES with t eh team not rthe QB.. where was the fanbase when Dak played his rookie yar at 13-3 ROTY and had 300 yards and what 3tds in loss the defense couldn't stop rogers?? Dak and zeke did play well and they lost.. TEAM game defense got ran over agnt rams in 18 no run game suspect OL..sure lets blame the QB, 2021 dak goes 12-5 37tds 10INT and has his OL have 11penatys in the playoffs ruined the offensive flow , again no run game..whwee was the run game last year before pollards inury and after,,OL got manhnadled..

anything else, next time HMU I'll give you my cell to call during this show and ill blast anyone claiming this standard should be on our QB

TROY never once carried this team with ES22 and the OL, defense, and coaches many of which were HOFers. same with Roger, Landrys OL and run game were well known that that what makes the offense go,

anything else i can help you with??
yes, when shall be a Proper time to ask these questions of a team reporter? Does it all not start with the QB? Afterall, its the most important spot on any team. BTW...I am not anti-Dak. I luv the kid, I like him...but what my wife was saying was simply asking, whats the team goal for Dallas/Dak? If its not lofty, why play the games?What are we doing?Make sense? YW.

Fans will interpret what is said most of them according to their agenda.
A fan calls in that does not like Dak, and ask a question. The answer is Dak is very good, top 10, and the answer is not what they wanted, so the media person is a hack.
A fan calls in that likes Dak, and the media person says no, Dak needs a lot of help, he is not top 10, so they feel that media person is a hack.
A fan calls in and says Dark is top 10, and they agree, so that media person is great.
We all seen it on here way to often as well.

Norm Hitzges was horrible at taking criticism or certain ideas from the fans. Or if you disagreed with him on the air. And would go on a 5 minute rant.
It all comes down to if people agree or not and most the time people will not change their stance.
my wife and I luv Dak. Just 2 clarify. Tell us why its wrong to ask questions of a team reporter? Fans pay the bills btw..

I never got why fans said Jimmy wasn't pleased with Aikman therefore also took Walsh.
Jimmy said when they seen Troy throwing ropes in 30 plus MPH wind, they knew he was their guy.

So if Jimmy was not pleased why did he select Troy, and also Walsh.
Or was it that Jerry selected Troy and told Jimmy that was the pick. Therefore Jerry should get more credit. :popcorn:

I thought it was stupid at the time for them to waste a 1st round pick on Walsh which turned out to be the #1 overall. Jimmy got lucky NO was dumb enough to trade for him.
hmm Fisher himself stated that.

winning the Super Bowl should actually be the standard not getting there. That was the mentality through the years so spare me conference championship and getting to Super Bowl standard. How many teams have won a Super Bowl in the last 20 years. Anyone outside that number is considered a failed franchise if you really want a true standard. Does the wife think that Dak is not trying to win Super Bowls? Does the wife have an alternative at QB that can win a SuperBowl since she believes it’s only the QB that does the winning according to her question? Would love to hear the names available that we can get that person that she thinks can win that game

Depends on who you are, I guess.

For the Coaches, It's probably competing at the highest level possible and getting better as the season goes on, in hopes to compete for a championship.
For most of the players is probably very similar while I'm sure some are more vested in their personal goals and finances, than the teams goals.
For the Owners, I'm sure it's scaled towards different levels year in and year out. They have the luxury of being long term place holders. They can afford to look at seasons as "this isn't going to be our year, so lets be smart in spending and come out in better shape, financially, for next season."
For the fans, It's typically super bowl or bust.........
as it ought to be.

...this morning on his YT channel live. My wife subs to his channel and she simply stated, why isnt the SB the standard and he was triggered in his answers. He lit her up just for stating it. She just wanted to know why the SB isnt the standard for Dak. He obviously didnt like her question. He said basically its asinine and too lofty a standard. I was spittin my coffee out as he went on his rant. It was a bit funny and typical of him I guess. But it goes to show us all what we already knew, Mike is a go along to get along Jerryite. She did mention it had been like 27 years since we been in a SB and he didn't like that very much either. He said so have a bunch of teams. Called her spoiled. Thats all he had was that. My oh my how the bar has been lowered thanks to Jerry and his minions like Mike Fisher. God Bless our team and may we win despite all this. Just wanted to share this with u all.
How do you listen to that spew? And why?

Team goal is improve the team

OL first, run game second then see how dak performs when hes not asked to do something Troy and Roger NEVER had to do pay one dimensional ball with suspect play calling.. sorry that's the response.

not talking RS either, we need to carry a run game into the playoffs and an OL that can provide push and hold their own against the better DL and front 7s they have NOT done this in the last 3 playoff losses.

the best question is ,

"what's the TEAM doing to help Dak, not the other way around. this is not about the 17 games its about get one game 3 straight playoff games that we cant handle the better defenses starting with the OL..

well she isnt here so I cant ask. But If I may...what about drafting a guy in the middle rds like a Jake Hainer? Jaren Hall? A little competition cant hurt. Thats my 2 cents. That said, I think Dak is plenty good enuff. But when she asked Fish abut why the SB isnt the standard basically, he was lit. God forbid.

It’s like when someone calls you a front runner for being a Cowboys fan like that still applies…


You think being a Cowboys fan is fun? Absolutely not. It’s miserable out here.
exactly..at times it can be. We are becoming a running joke.
Really?
All the places I go to, have my Cowboys hat or jacket or shirt on. I get...Go Cowboys ... or hey we going to get it done this year....
I don't get the Cowboys suck....unless it is from a rival teams fan....and most of the time they don't even say that, or anything at all.
All fans seem to be pretty much looking at the bright side with some constructive criticism. Such as OL needs to improve, Dak needs surrounding help, get a DT.

I have one friend, that hates Jerry, hates the Cowboys as of now. But he talks as if he was a fan from the Landry years and of Jimmy. But then again he is pretty stupid about a lot of stuff.
Stopped liking the Rangers because Nolan Ryan left the FO. But if they start winning, he may like them again. Though this year he says they are winning because they have not played any good teams...sound familiar?

Only talks good about the Stars and Mavericks if they are winning.
I swear sometimes it is like dealing with some fans on here. :lmao:
Actually not sure why we are friends. :muttley: Known him way too long I guess.

So it really is not miserable, yeah, the 28 years, blah, but I don't get that from fans around here. I live 6 miles from the stadium as well, so many fans around.

We are like 1 of 3 teams who hasn’t been to a conference championship game in 20+ years.

Yeah we’re so spoiled lol.




Not to mention a decade+ of sitting through Garrett when it was obvious that he wasn’t NFL quality.
Garrett should have been fired IMMEDIATELY after that 2013 loss to the Matt Flynn-led Packers when we were up by 25 points at halftime. I don't know how I didn't get kicked out of that game for yelling obscenities.

Most people either like the Cowboys or laugh at how delusional the fan base is.


We could go 10-0 to start a season and everyone still feels confident that the rug is going to get pulled out from under us.

I mean Strathan said our 2007 Cowboys were the best team they played all year including the undefeated Patriots and we were 1 and done.

It’s just kind of our thing.

The Superbowl isn't the standard for Dak because it's not the standard for the front office. We've been mediocre for 2 decades prior to Dak so the problem existed before then. We've seen that no matter how many pieces they switch around, they can't overcome the FO. The FO is the most important position in football.

thats not really what she was sayin. She was saying what are the standards HERE in Dallas really? Is it getting to and winning a SB with Dak? Maybe she didnt word it right. But he knew. I think we all respect Dan Marino and Kelly. But in the end, winning the SB matters or at least, it should. Her point that he glossed over was Jimmy J actually drafted Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft to compete with and maybe replace Aikman in 1990. Jimmy wasnt very pleased with Aikman early. Its a great thing, having competition. God Forbid Dak has competition. Cant have that. The point was, she was saying, Troy wasnt the man til HE WAS. He had to prove it by getting to the SB. After that he was cemented. Until Dak does that, he isnt the man. Just the way it is.
You're wife is not wrong,fish is just a Jerry puppet along the line of spags..and dak couldn't even outplay some dude named purdy.Until dack actually wins something,he will be labeled a loser,just like elway was until TD showed up and finally got over the hump.

Nothing wrong with it. We need those type of questions. I wish the media would ask the FO those questions. But they are afraid.
I was responding that some reporters will go off on a caller if they don't like the question.
And some callers don't like the media person that don't get the answer they want.

That was not intended at you or your wife, I should have made that clear. It was more an answer from other posts as well.

Yeah, I love it when people say "bandwagon Cowboys fan". Well, first that word gets thrown around way too much, and used incorrectly, but it hasn't been popular to root for the Cowboys since Clinton was in office.

The TRUE Cowboy fans have only 1 standard — winning the SB. The other fans are trying to justify why we suck when it really matters. While JJ says his goal is to win the SB, his real goal is to get all the credit by calling the shots (and even doubling down when critics attach him about his decisions). I think JJ would rather have the Cowboys be good and he get all the credit rather than win the SB and he get no credit. Because of the atmosphere created by JJ, the Cowboy players think it’s all about them individually (and the team comes second), and unfortunately, most of the Cowboy fans only add to this situation.
