I don't believe he'll get hurt. But it happens. Guys get hurt every season. Just say you're scared lol. This is what you do. You come up with these insane bets where you have all the leverage. How is that even fair? How are of them fair? I gave you a fair one where the worst case scenario is you "draw". That's a great bet for you that I shouldn't even take.

But your "out" is oh I'm a mans man and I need to either win or lose a bet. No participation trophies here...unebelievable lol. Nobody is buying this act btw lol. I'm sure even fellow Dak haters are cringing I've had two already contact me in DM about it lol.

I'll ask anyone other Dak hater anyone want to take this bet?
The person that doesn't want an "out" is the scared one?

What kind of logic is that?

I'm not in this to "draw". Either I win or I lose.

Daniel Jones:

1/4 years where he surpassed 15 touchdown passes.

Career mid 80s passer rating.

6.7 avg career passing

This honestly shouldn't even be a discussion.
Him and Dak are identical passers though now let me warn you the person that said that also said Micah Parson is the next Jaylon Smith so take his opinion however you need to lol.

^ This. The term is almost always misused. The belief that some players are susceptible to injury and other players are not is patently false.
You know hearing that term I always thought it was meant for guys who either get hurt in training camp every year or someone who simply has the same injury over and over again. To me Matt Johnson is who that term was made for. Sean Lee.

Wh is it about thens this not about? Is this not about you being right that Dak sucks?
Showing that you Dak fans really don't believe in him like you pretend.

You have no intentions of that deal you offered. Because you knew the injury thing would happen and you can say "void".

So then offer something fair then. What’s fair where one of us loses guaranteed?

I offer you the same thing I offer the other Dak fans.

Dak leads us to the Super Bowl or finishes top 3 in MVP voting. Either one has to happen.

That gives you the stat based achievement OR the "leader" of the team one.

Or you could do the easy thing and admit that you don't really think Dak is good enough to do either of those 2 things.

Skeletal and muscular structure is the same for every athlete, unless the athlete has some form of preexisting anatomical abnormality prior to sustaining an injury. Excluding those conditions, all injuries are the result of force exceeding bone, muscle, etc., tolerance.

Stating <insert any athlete's name> is injury prone is almost certainly not true in most instances. Any person's bone will break if the same exact circumstances exist. Any muscle or ligament will tear also. It would be accurate of anyone to describe some athletes as more lucky than their peers. Some athletics are accepted by some as being superhuman simply because they have not experienced identical collisions, etc., in similar scenarios.

Every injury almost always boils down to simple physics. Unfortunately, every tackle, impact, etc., looks the same to some people.

Emmitt Smith is the perfect example of this. You would think the amount of carries and the position he played he would have been more hurt over his career. If you actually watch him play though. He was amazing at avoiding big hits. He almost never got his bell rung. He just got tackled harmlessly. For the most part.

This isnt really a fair bet though and you know it. This is simply a Dak vs the field bet. Very Stephen A Smith like. If that bet he proposed earlier didnt have the injury out would you take it? Honest question. As someone who gambles I know exactly what you are trying to pull here and its pretty silly.

I told him the reason I won't take it is because of the injury out. That's literally the reason I asked about the injury out. Because I knew that the plan all along was to have an out.

I fully expect Dak to miss time because he has for the past 3 years and he's not gotten stronger and healthier.

If you believe then you believe. If you don't then you don't.

No. That isnt true. You can believe and not be an idiot when it comes to betting. I am known by my group of friends to take really long shot bets that have little to no chance of paying out just to make the weekend more interesting. And I wouldnt take the bet you put forth because the odds are basically Dak and the Cowboys vs the entirety of the NFL. Its not a fair bet. The odds arent in his favour at all to make that bet.

That would be like me saying if you believe in Parsons put money on him winning DPOY. I would. But then you have him going up against a lot of other great defensive players that will be rushing the QB full time. Do you see what I am saying?

You "feel he can make more difficult throws but he surely hasn't. You guys use the "no offensive line" excuse to justify why Daniel Jones passing stats suck....they suck for him but for some reason he and Barkley put up rushing stats. Very odd. I guess they can only run block but suck at pass blocking.

Guys produce with bad offensive lines. I can justify having a bad offensive line and not winning a SB. Its not possible. But if you want me to think a bad offensive line stops you from producing? We've seen time and time again that not being the case.

There is nothing factual about them being "equal" as passers. There's no stat to back this claim up, there's no eye test....there's nothing.

Daniel Jones is currently a bust until proven otherwise.

Jones got that sorry team to the playoffs.

Dak and Jones are nearly equal.

The fact you think he’s a bust while the Giants just gave him that contract kinda speaks to how clueless you are on this topic.

If you think Dak is better then fine. I can totally buy that. But it’s very close and me personally I think they’re so equal as throwers of the football that Jones’s legs give him the edge.
