Has Dak alienated much of the Fanbase

[FanofJerry]

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.

The broke leg happened early in the year, contributing most of those missed games.

The calf and this hammy...I need do see what was going on as far as throwaway years.

Gotta look at it individually and not as a whole. This weird hammy combined with the broke leg accounts for most of those missed games.

Imagine being mad at a player and his agent for doing exactly what they should be doing and what the NFLPA want them to do, which is maximizing their earnings. Y'all are directing your energy to the wrong person. Dak is just another cog in the 30 year junk direction from the Jones family. No different than Romo getting a huge extension in 2007 before he accomplished one single thing. And another extension later with still no real accomplishments.

Lmao. Romo played in the same era as Dak. You act like one played 20 years earlier.

No one says Dak is a juggernaut. No one. Quit making up junk to support some made up argument.

There's still a big difference between when they both played. Quarterbacks were still getting drilled without a 15 yard penalty being imposed when Romo was playing.

The point being if you are a player watching guys like Mayfield and Darnold light it up on other teams whilst earning pretty much half of what Dak does then it's not exactly going to make the players evening a modest salary in comparison feel like a million bucks.

It will be interesting how it plays out with Purdy at the 49ers. He will arguably either retain or lose the locker room based on how much he demands/accepts.

Romo came into the league 13 years prior to Prescott.

That’s like saying Aikman played in the same era as Staubach.

We are blaming him, not for being paid the money, but for sucking whilst taking it. Never think we arent blaming Jerry first, but if his captain isnt playing up to a contract.....he's also on the list.

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.

I agree, Prescott's contract is a huge weight around this organization's neck and he's NEVER, EVER going SNIFF a SB! I'm hoping Parsons is traded for a couple of decent 2026 draft picks, I'm also hoping that the Cowboys do a lot worse than last season. If this happens the Boys could possibly be in the running for Arch Manning in the 2026 draft. If the top pick in the 2026 draft already has their QB for the future, Jerry should pull a Mike Ditka and trade every pick they have in the 2026 NFL Draft to move up into the No.1 pick to get Arch Manning who could be relevant for the next 10 - 15 yrs if he stays healthy. The Boys could easily repeat the early 90s with a great young QB...................

I've been a staunch defender of Dak's, but it's pretty impossible to defend his play at this point. Furthermore, with players like Burrow, Mahomes, and now Allen taking team-friendly deals to help the team, it's becoming harder and harder to defend Dak's character when he says he doesn't play for money and then doesn't do anything financially to help the team. I'd never go into another man's wallet, and I know he's only getting a little more than half of that after taxes, but it's enough money (especially factoring in his endorsements and other revenue streams) that I'd certainly go to Jerry and take $35m a year so he could sign another WR1 and a perennial DT if I were him. He doesn't seem like a bad person or anything, but he doesn't seem to care as much about winning as he claims.

Dak talks out of both sides of his mouth.
