I dislike all but the Members Zone and the Offense Topic Zone these days.

I can't remember the last time I saw someone say something positive about a player, without other people completely ragging on both the player and the poster.

This sucks.

I agree, it really does. This is what happens when a team with high expectations turns out to be 3-5. Fans are angry and frustrated so they lash out at each other.

I think it would help everyone here to remember every single one of us (unless there is an active player or coach in our ranks) have ZERO impact on what happens on the field.

If we are a Dak fan or a Dak hater? That changes nothing. If we think CeeDee is a dog or a diva? Changes nothing. Only Jerry and Stephen have the power to change things, and their track record the past 29 years speaks for itself.

Personal attacks and name calling just because someone has a different opinion is petty.. And I admit I have had several instances here where I have had a disagreement with someone. At that point, I think it would serve all of us well to step back, stop typing, even look away from the forum.

Being "right" in front of strangers on the internet is so important to some people it's ridiculous. Having healthy debates about something is one thing. Directing specific comments at others, going so far as to dig up years old posts in their chat history....I mean is it really worth it?

Remember that we are all human beings here, with opinions and emotions. Okay I am done being philosophical.

Yeah but it was stupid. He should NOT have been in the game at that point. Also, by the same token, I know a lot of you all would have called him soft for sitting the rest of the game out.
Damned if he did damned if he didn't. You are right, same people upset that he gutted it out would have been screeching about his contract and him sitting on the bench if he didn't play.

Who had high expectations?

Well, that wasn't high?

Yeah. They suck. We know that. But kudos to CDL for gutting it out and fighting through a tough and painful injury today.

Way to show true leadership by putting your body on the line and even coming back in the game in what was all but a lost cause at that point.

At least someone wants to live up to their contract.
It was stupid and lamb, mccarthy and the trainer were idiots for letting it go on as long as he did.

Coming back in injured when the game was over was such a CeeDee thing to do. Some weeks he checks out because he’s mad and then yesterday he can’t be held back?

This entire team is a walking head case

You guys all claim they need more "dawgs" out there and one one steps up to be one you want to knock him down..why? (Rhetorical)

So what he dropped a TD pass in a lost cause game in a lost cause season? He was gutting it out and was still the best option on the field by far.
Because it was dumb.

The “just bleed” mentality we expect from sports heroes is outdated. Injuries to star players who are taking up enormous chunks of your salary cap can’t be left to the whim of emotion or pride. The consequences are too great.

He’s going to have an MRI today. He says he’s fine, but what if he’s not?

Patting him (and ourselves) on the back saying “you’ve got that dawg in you”, won’t help now or later.

weak. You can't even post on the regular anymore...relegated to throwing rocks and hiding your hands. It's hard to support a guy as "near MVP" one year and then "Actual Trash Heap" the next.

"I'm about to turn a corner...I can feel it..." - Dak 3 week ago.

LOL...he certainly has made me a believer...

Oh I'm not mad you responded...all's fair...I'm just saying you are dissing CeeDee BUT hiding the fact that are really defending Dak. You just know that's a laughable position these days so you choose to nibble at the edges instead of manning up and admitting Dak is playing like hot garbage, he can't carry a team without superstars or at least 10 pro bowlers AND he's overpaid. WAAAAAAAY overpaid.

You've made an assumption that CeeDee was the issue. Dak's play has been bad...McCarthy all but said it. Dak choked in the playoff games. Could CeeDee be NICER about it? more PROFESSIONAL? Sure...but the "problem" is not CeeDee or his sideline pouting. That's just getting him to be a BETTER player. Dak sucks...can we get to play competent football instead of picking at everyone else?

Dak took most of the money but you don't want him to get GREATER accountability...just more money. That's not how this works.

Are you slow? I verbatim said Lamb wasn’t an issue what are you doing? I’m the one defending Lamb genius. You can’t be for real right now.

I tend to favor not playing anyone with any significant injury. If he had caught that td he would have gotten popped hard instead of tapped. Then what?
