Has Dak alienated much of the Fanbase

[FVSTONE]

Any star player taking a discount for the Cowboys is a complete fool.

Daks comment was spot on...and why players don't let contracts ruin locker rooms.

Lebron James was the first athlete I saw using that excuse and he had a good reason...he took a discount in Miami and they didn't use the money properly.

Essentially team owners or Managers can lie. They aren't guaranteed to use the money you discounted them on to make the team better.

This boards go to for controversy is Dak Prescott or lack of Free Agent signings.


I got you. If Jerry and Stephen aren't paying free agents and over paying too many guys they drafted....why would anyone take a discount for them?

The concept is based on not trusting anyone. This board is reinforcing Lebron and Daks position.

I suspect you won't respond or will use childish misdirection or attacks

Oh, I'll respond to your nonsense. Prescott is a legend in his own mind, but in the real world he's not worth 45 million a year, let alone the 60 plus he's pulling down now. He's already stated that he's not a team guy when he put current and future QBs needs a head of his own teammates. I'll bet there are quite a few players on the Cowboy roster that feel the same way D-Law feels when he said he had a better chance winning a ring in Seattle than he did when he played for the Cowboys. Well, actually he said there was no chance he was going to win a ring here, so he left for more money and a possible shot at a ring. Prescott got paid already and couldn't get past a 1st rd playoff game. Prescott is an insanely greedy player who took the money and said the hell with his mates, because he has never said it's about making the Cowboys better and winning championships! Seriously, haven't you noticed that when he's in a game players seem to play down for him, but when Rush was called in to manage the game, his mates got a second wind, and they played like they had something to prove. The O-line protected RUSH a hell of a lot better than they did for Prescott and that says a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! Prescott is nothing more than a money grub, he's insanely overpaid, over hyped and IS a less than mediocre bum of a QB!!!

I don't hate Dak. Just my 2 cents, but I think he's pretty much "all hat and no cattle". He plays for an owner/management group that clearly needs psychotherapy for personality disorders.... and an accountant to monitor the organization checkbook.

Funniest thing about DLaw leaving is the short social media beef he had with Micah about not being serious, as if he wasn’t part of the “HotBoyz”

 

[Verdict]

The Dak contract was horrendous when signed but as time goes on, it just gets worse.
The fact that Dak had to hold out for the Maximum amount feasible rubs me, and others I'm sure, just for the fact that he came across as more greedy than committed to winning.
Watching all the FA activity for all the other teams and how so many don't sign to the maximum but for amounts they seem respectable.
But not Dak. He didn't seem to give a squat about helping the team. He signed the most crippling contract he could for the teams sake.
Not only will his contract hinder us presently, with the restructures where they convert his salary to a bonus, he will be causing us cap problems well after he is gone for two to three years afterwards.
While his restructuring helps us short term, it will limit us for many years.

I wouldn’t have paid Dak, if I was GM. Since I’m not I had no say in the matter. I think it was most likely a mistake and I think over time that perspective will more than likely be proven right.

I become more sour on Dak over time. It’s also the Cowboys’ fault for agreeing to pay him that much money with a no trade clause etc, no tag clause etc. I don’t think Dak is that good myself. He wilts under pressure.

I would love to see him light it up and a win a SB I just don’t see that ever happening.

After this contract debacle I would draft a QB high, let him compete with Dak and then let Dak demand a trade. Thats about the only way I see this contract situation playing out well.

 

[Verdict]

The only thing he continues to do is live rent free in haters heads. SMH. He only alienates people who never liked him anyway.

I think the anti Dak bandwagon is growing over time. Maybe I’m wrong about that, but my magic 8 ball says that I’m right on that.

I’m glad to see DLaw shipped out. He was far too much mouth and far too little substance. Much like Dak he wilts in the big games and stat pads against little sisters of the poor and chickiepengap university.

I stopped liking him when he talked trash to the little kid that wanted his jersey signed, just because he was a Giants fan, that was also a fan of him.

this isnt the year for drafting a QB high.Even the ones that are going to go early are probably going to need alot around them. Id draft a QB around round 5 though we got 10 picks and if we get lucky and trade down we could get 11.

Its ok to sour on dak but souring on Dak should have some perspective and understanding that he isnt the only problem and hasnt been the only reason for lack of success. My concerns with him are his health now and the ?? that come with it

The 2 people I have a hard time getting past is in front office as this is a problem that dates back to when the salary cap era began. Thank God for the Hershel trade and Jimmy johnson or wed be pushing 50 years of failed campaigns

Dak is in QB prime age according to this site...30 to 34 years old when game slows down for a qb.

Dak got his leg snapped. I forget his other injury....broken hand?

He's a big boy. What health issues are there? Health seems like a flimsy excuse...nothing against you.

What is Burrow to you then? He has to be a risk too then.

its not an excuse its a fact. He was never fleet of foot but he was at his best when he was more mobile.His lower extremity injuries should concern all fans of the team. injuries to lower body beside his leg being snapped was his calf and now his hammy that was torn. I believe hes had multiple hand injuries that hes played through as well. As injuries mount they can have an impact on his ability to slide in the pocket and escape and couple that with his mental shortcomings of getting happy feet and the need to have pinpoint accurate throws because of lack of separation well you get the picture or you should.

when you have a turnstyle at RT and a LT that is OJT and a receiving corps that's bottom half of the league along with a average at best running game it impacts the team. I felt similarly when when romo's back injuries mounted

its time to keep an eye out for the next DC QB you never know the last 2 was UDFA and 4th round. And I believe that with the right group dfak can be succesful but i also dont think oujr front office is capable of providing that

 

[FanofJerry]

You could show me a picture of his scar where the hammy was worked...i still think it was a fake injury.

Every sports team mysteriously has its stars get hurt with injuries in throwaway seasons. Every sports team. It's been repeated so many times I couldn't take you seriously if you tried to claim it doesn't happen or doesn't happen frequently.

Its like when Zeke fumbled 4 times in one game that one season...the one game everyone started giving up.

That happened this year too. I forget which week it was...but the towel was waived mid game and players started getting injured. Diggs was acting hurt to try and exit the game but kept going back in because I guess coaches weren't buying it. He eventually left the game and is injured now. It all looked so fake.

I understand that thus most likely isn't real, but I refuse to believe Dak is injury prone based on a leg injury or two. Snapped leg, calf and a hammy in a throwaway year.

Not really buying it

Wow. Dude literally could barely walk.

Put some dirt on it

Dak’s problem has always been his slow processing time and lack of anticipation. That’s never going to change, even if his leg heals.

9 seasons in since becoming the starters and Dak has missed 8 games more than Romo due to injury. 23 games compared with 15 games. Romo didn't start 6 games but still even proportionality taking the % of games played Dak has played less which is hilarious given Romo is pretty much defined as being made of glass on here by many whilst Dak is viewed as some sort of juggernaut. Dak also plays in an era when defenders can't even touch the QB.

And he also didn’t have Garrett as a play caller and no running game, until Callahan came here…. Romo was running around for his life, extending plays to buy time for Garrett’s mediocre play calling…

 

[Swagger]

Is it any wonder countless players leave Dallas and pipe up about the team having no shot at winning the Superbowl when Dak is earning $60 million a year and Mayfield (just had a better season than Dak has ever had) and Darnold (only season he played for a fairly good team he just had a classic Dak Prescott type season) are earning pretty much half that amount around the $30 million a year mark?
