Has Dak alienated much of the Fanbase

[KingCorcoran]

Ya, not for me. I started a company and gave my key managers ownership. When I sold out we all shared in the purchase price. I made plenty of money and didn't need all of it.

And yes it is on par with what we are talking about here. I didn't have to take less, but cared about my teammates.

Dak could easily take 40 or 45 million per year and his grandkids would not have to work.

Jerry could easily have offered $45 million…if he thought that was an appropriate amount. Look at all the teams that recently have scrambled for starting quarterbacks. Some still are. Happens every year. So what? Jerry didn’t want to do that so he offered Dak the contract Dak agreed to.

Owners are never going to turn over the decision on what player compensation should be to the players. That includes Dak Prescott. Dak indicated what he thought was fair. Jerry responded with an offer. That also happens every year.

Fans complain about these absurd contracts but fans are also at the root of the problem. Paying a regular guy more than a neurosurgeon to catch, throw, or shoot a ball in a children's game is outright stupid.

But the fans continue to attend the games, buy merch, and blow up TV ratings. If people really demanded change they would stop partaking in any of the aforementioned activities until the owners bottom line was in question.

Instead fans do not want to change any of their viewing and spending habits while at the same time demanding a change with league market value, contracts, etc.

Owners like Jerry can continue to do whatever they would like in perpetuity. They have a captive audience which does not have the gonads or the stomach to temporarily withhold their viewership and stop giving the league revenue in order to enact real change.

No one is complaining about player salaries in general.

its Jerrys way of trolling some fans.

Wow some of the posters around here.

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.

Our team has led the NFL in penalties for many of the years Dak has been here. While we all understand Dak isn't elite, how has leading the NFL in penalties has he been responsible for? I'll patiently wait.....

While we think on a response for that, let me know how many quarterbacks or head coaches have had success being part of a team who leads the league in penalties multiple seasons.....

Dak wouldn't have been taking a pay cut. The question is why push for the absolute max $60 million over 4 years when say $45-$50 million a year over 5-6 years would have still been a pay rise and easier to build around.

Of course Jerry offered him $45m.

......and im sure France advised Dak to accept.

There is, just like the last contract, a form of hubris, especially from QB's about being the top, be it AAV or Guaranteed Money or length of contract.

There is nothing in that contract that indicates there were any negotiations, if that were the case that imbecile of an owner would of got something from him.

The problem for Dak that his performance and health has brought him into the Problem Category, which previously was the sole domain of Jezzah.

Jerry Jones agreed to the contract. He did not want to see Dak Prescott sign with another team. Blaming Dak for Jerry’s decision is nonsense.

Again, we're blaming Jerry for giving it.....but Dak for sucking on it.

It's not an either/or.
