Has Dak alienated much of the Fanbase

[Jkyle]

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.

LMAO What?

 

[erod]

How can anyone blame him for taking the money?

I hold nothing against him. He's just not that good. Not his fault, that's just the way it is

 

[roy31]

No…. Big and little Enis Burdett did that .

Does Jerry give a squat about the fans?

Imagine paying a middling QB 60 million per year….it’s actually hilarious and tragic.

Lmbao. Exactly. He should take less so that Jerry won't spend it. Brilliant move.

 

[Cydios]

yep

Such delicious carnage.

 

[HonoluluCowboy]

If he was decent , maybe you could turn your nose up . But the fact is Chokota Stinks , can't move and is a Sneeze away from missing 6 +games . Regardless we are stuck with a dim witted, mental midget who fears the limelight and Prefers to spend his time shopping for Man Purses

 

[BlindFaith]

I blame the incompetence of Jethro and son for offering it.

Hoping and wishing a player would take less isnt a strategy.

I do wish Dak would just shut up after a loss. He isnt getting better and wont. We are stuck with him for the 3 years.

Thats why FA doesnt matter. Draft doesnt matter. None of it matters. You cant have that much cap allocated to a bus driver at QB.

Forcing a trade may be our best chance. Get some draft picks and take the huge cap it.

 

[ArtClink]

Dak has not alienated the fanbase, Jerry has by signing him to a market setting deal.

 

[mfiggs18]

Doesn't matter what his salary is this team isn't going to be aggressive in free agency

 

[loublue22]

Second worst contract in sports after Embiid. Still, he didn't offer the money to himself.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Yes

We are in QB purgatory with horrible ownership. It doesnt get worse than that

 

[slick325]

Not me. The Jones boys have done that, though. The way they run the organization in particular the front office has led to the atrophy in the fan base.

 

[RS12]

Dak is a symptom. The alienation part of the equation decided to pay him and keep him around for years.

 

[diamonddelts]

I do wish Dak would just shut up after a loss.

How can Dak shut up after a loss? He is contractually obligated to talk to the wack arse, useless media after every game.

I agree i have a guy that i work with that is stupid as mud stuck to a bumper. but last year he left for 6 months and came back 50% pay raise. we needed the head count and Bean counters said he's been here knows stuff so lets bring him back. he asked for 50% more and they gave it to him. as a manager i just shook my head. manager above me said he's the guy even tho i apposed it.

its the same Jerry or Steven see something in dak we lower level people dont so does nto matter if we say NO they said yes and now he's paid. He got his coin so good for him sucks for the cap hell we are in. but really WOULD jerry and Steven really spend the coin if it was not on Dak but someone else.

Jerry has to spend it, there's a minimum teams have to pay out of the cap. Jerry can't save the money Dak wouldn't have gotten if he'd taken less.
