Has Dak alienated much of the Fanbase

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.

Not just that, insisted on a short term deal, which screws us royally. Dak is anti-team.

I guess if we can't blame him that he's naive? He sucks, so I can blame him for alienating everyone on principles alone

He did what every player in the NFL would do in that situation.

And don't give me Brady, who was married to a supermodel who made more money than any player in the league.

Dak alienated me as a fan by his terrible play of the QB position. i cannot blame him for taking Jerry's money though, I would have as well

Jethro makes the same repeated mistakes over and over, but it is Dak's fault.

Zach Martin rapped Jerry Jones last year, but no one is made at Zach Martin. No one will be made at Micah either.

Dont blame Dak for signing a ridiculous contract, blame our idiot GM that agreed to it.

If a player demands to be the highest paid in the league and the GM of the team he currently plays for says, "sure, sounds fair".

Why you going to be pissed at the player?

If I knew I wasn't good at my job and some idiot wanted to pay me like I was the best ever at it, hell, I too would take the money and run.

All Dak's contract proved to me is that he is an individual who focuses only on himself. Selfish is the word some would use. Dak could have vetoed the deal out of sheer desire to play for a winner but he didn't, and in the process revealed his true, greedy colors.

Some call it greed, others call it free market capitalism.

"the value of an asset is soley determined by what somebody is willing to pay for said asset"........foundation of free market capitalism.

If Jerry is willing to pay $60 million a year for the services of his QB, then that is the value of said QB.............greed has nothing to do with it.

Dak has alienated the fan base because he has aligned himself with Jerry and Steven Jones.
 
He hasnt alienated me because of his contract. Players take whats been given to them and if their agent knows his stuff, then they get more. I mean we're doing the same thing (on a different level of course), I fought hard for all my raises and I think I now earn quite a bite more than other people in my position.

He alienated me because of his absolutely horrendous inconsistency and unreliability. Whenever it mattered this guy couldnt deliver. And yes, the Daksters will immediately come to his aid and give you crap about team and stuff. Well in football it all begins and ends with the QB. This last season has proven, that the team is going where it goes, with or without Dak. He provides absolutely nothing. The only thing he can do is beat up backliners even harder than the backup QB. But he wins the games a backup QB wins and loses the ones a backup QB would lose. And this is not what a QB1 should be. He should take a team one step further, push it over the hill so to speak.

And all this nonsense about weak o lines... he had years with pretty good o lines actually. AND good receivers. In those last 8 years everything and everyone around him has been replaced and he could never get it done. Everyone else is the reason why this team cant deliver, never him of course. And thats the way it will be until his tenure with the Cowboys ends some day.

**** Dak and everything he represents.

With that being said the true culprit here is still Jerry. Shouldnt have resigned him.

I agree completely with you however back to last season. Had the Jones’ signed both CD and Dak, who were never offered in August what they should have done in March the Boys would have cleared up 20 million in CAP space! But Jerry likes to say there were “outside circumstances “ that prohibited them to doing so! That is total B.S. and Jerry knows it! He does not really care about winning, he is at the bottom intelligence wise of GM’s in the league but his over bloated ego thinks he’s smarter than everyone and he can win cheaper than anyone else!
And unfortunately, his son Stephan is worse which is hard to fathom!

No bigger Dak supporter over the years here than me, but Dak lied to all of Cowboys Nation. He said last summer that he was not looking for the highest paid contract and that he planned on working with Jerry & Stephen. Well, Dak did the complete opposite. He held out from signing the contract until the morning of Week 1's game day, plus not only was it a franchise record high, it was the highest paid contract per AAV in the history of the NFL which still stands today a whole season later.

:mad: :banghead: :angry:
 
I don't ever blame the player for contracts
Blame the idiot whose been in charge of everything since Jimmy left.
 
Jerry is responsible for the team's demise more than any singular person associated with the Cowboys. That's a fact that can't be wisely ignored. It's up to the individual fan to decide if they want to retain their fandom or not. I think most of us are clinging to a long love of this team and wondering why. It's, now, just a bad habit that many of us haven't yet been able to shake. At least, that's my lame excuse.
