Have fans completely lost it?

[Clove]

I may have to start bringing out the ignore button again for my own personal sanity. Sucks that I can't go back and re-read the Game-day thread because of all the revulsion and detestation from QB1 on the team. We get it, you hate the guy, but don't constantly repeat the same thing over and over and over like a petulant child, it's completely annoying. We get it, you don't like him. Now shut up and go away or post something new, otherwise, you're trolling.

I really have to ask. Have fans completely lost it or is this board being taken over by trolls?

Dak broke his thumb. Couldn't throw a football for many weeks. Missed 5 weeks of the season. Was still wearing a brace on his thumb. Comes back and, while rusty, plays a very " Cooper Rush" esque game and gets a win against a team coming off a bye.
Most people on this forum and in the media said... learn from Cooper. Keep this game plan when Dak comes back. Etc. Etc.
They do and all the haters come out.

Tyler Smith is balling out. He is a rookie starting at LT in the NFL. NOT AN EASY TASK. PFF (for what they're worth) has him ranked as the 6th best tackle in the league. IN THE LEAGUE!! I saw a post debating if he could play the position!!!!!!

These are just two examples. But, have "fans" lost it?

Fans never had it.
But we have so many trolls with bad takes that our less aware fans then buy into as if true.

Football IQ is significantly down from when sports radio guys talked actual football and experts on to discuss versus the shannon and skip nonsense.
Support anyone in media taking this job seriously versus just being sensational.

Have fans lost it? Yes. Some of them have. Some fans run here after a win just to scream I TOLD YOU DAK WAS GREAT!!!!! after a win, while fans are already celebrating. They accuse "Dak-haters" of wanting to lose just so they can prove a point that Dak is overrated, while proving that they wanted Rush to lose so they could prove that Dak is better than your average backup. Heck, I remember sticking up for Bledsoe back in the day when fans tore him up, but I didn't bawl all over my keyboard after a win, lashing out at people.

 

[foofighters]

I have noticed an influx of new members who sound exactly like current members who are well known Dak haters and have only 1 agenda here. Makes you wonder if these are the same people with burner accounts. Either way they are having a negative affect on this board.

I agree but the other side can also have a negative effect on this board as well. Diversity of thought solves problems but when neither side will talk to each other and each hates equally, nothing is solved.

 

[shabazz]

In reality your last sentence is the only scenerio in which Dak Prescott could win a Superbowl. It's not hating. It's simply watching games.

agree. The entire sports media is talking about this game because it took till the 4th quarter to finally do away with the worst defense in Football…..and they were put way because of the defenses turnovers and getting the offense a short field to make it even easier.

the sports media isn’t talking about it because they all “ hate Dak”……it’s because of the mediocre offenses performance against the Lions.

a good point was brought up today that the only thing that should stop the cowboys from reaching the super bowl is Dak Prescotts play. He merely has to outplay Cousins and Hurts who’s teams are the only ones as good as or better that the Cowboys (throw the injury plagued Niners in there too).

With this elite defense and the Pack and Bucs being so awful it’s a beautiful opportunity to win…..but Dak will have to outplay or match Hurts,Cousins and Garappalo on the biggest stages.

 

[shabazz]

There's a handful of trolls who keep posting the same negative narrative about Prescott. They're overzealous
jealously of the man is absurd.

yes,…..they are insanely jealous of his 1-3 playoff record and 7 years of failure.

I would think people would be jealous of Patrick Mahomes instead…..he’s got better hair than Dak

 

[Kevinicus]

Whether you like it or not that was a gruesome injury. And my point is get what you can young man , it has to last you and your family the rest of your life

Sorry that that is so hard for you to grasp. And Please little guy Get some new material. You ignorance is showing . Dak didn't play any better than RUSH AGAINST THE WORSE DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE.

I can't even take your little rant seriously. Tell you what I give you a mulligan on that first one now go study the game and get back to me OK buh bye

Moving goal posts, strawman arguments, bearing false witness. You're on a roll.

Who cares about Dak's injury from TWO years ago? What does that have to do with anything? I don't fault Dak for trying to get money. Never suggested it. Straw man arguments are the worst.

What I said about Dak's play against Detroit was accurate. What's your issue with it? Do you think he played well, or measurably better than Rush has this year? Is Detroit not the worst defense in the league?

Rant? What rant? Are you responding to yourself here?

This board became troll dominant around 2012.

This board was taken over by trolls. It is a strange phenomena. There are a few obsessed and with mental health issues and some ignorant as well.

 

[gimmesix]

I am not just speaking about Dak. I'm speaking about the entire team.

Maybe people only read what they want.

Your post included two examples. It was three-fourths about Dak and one-fourth about Tyler Smith.

But it doesn't really matter who it is. It almost seems like there's more complaining on here about people complaining than there is actual complaining. Look, I'm doing it too right now, so I'm going to stop. I'd rather focus my energy on discussing the team. If people who have "lost it" don't want to do that, then I'll just move on to those who do.

Yes, they have.

My one wish for Dak coming back was for Dak to be more like Cooper Rush. He accomplished that, and we dominated, in the end, where it matters. People don't consider the end results of the Giatns games, because their games go back and forth and they trail at times. But what matters, is the end result. And the Giants are doing that by design. Just like Dak carried his team yesterday, the way it was designed.

He's doing fine. And I refuse to fuel the fire of the illogical Dak hatred.

 

[Dre11]

Lions have easily the worst defense in the league.

Before the bye yes. Doesn't mean they'll be the worse all year, it was mentioned on the broadcast they changed their gap scheme during the bye. It also was mentioned by Zack that they did things on defense they hadn't seen from them on tape. They adjusted to it in the second half.

 

[GINeric]

Lions have easily the worst defense in the league.

But the Panthers defense is worse and held Brady to 3 points with an interim head coach.

What your goal post moving, spin job reasoning for this happening??

 

[diamonddelts]

"I don't want stats, I want wins."

Cowboys beat Detroit, 24-6.

"But look at those awful stats!"

Stop making sense!

 

[Beaker42]

Oh really? Coulda fooled me by their performance yesterday. They were ready and yet again - UNDER DAK AS STARTER - we come out flatter than a manhole cover.

Just because posters have concerns doesn't mean they've lost it.

I understood Dak being rusty for a quarter. The fact we looked like hot Florida garbage on O the entire first half was alarming. If Detroit doesn't fumble going in for the TD we probably lose that game. Dak needs to be ready from the opening kick and he wasn't.

Tyler Smith is just like Zack Martin and La'el Collins (when he was with us). Yeah, they can play OT but that's not where you want them ultimately. They're ALL OG's. For a kid who played OT for 3 years in college his feet just aren't very good. He's a mauling G being forced to play T because we have no other options.

 

[ShortRound]

I’ve seen the same threads here for 12 years. I’ve just stopped reading them. Helps your sanity.

 

[john van brocklin]

I'm convinced that if Dallas wins the Super Bowl this year, Dak will get no credit. His critics (haters, as they say) will claim that the defense really did all of the lifting and he was just a wildly overpaid Trent Dilfer.

I don't care what they say if we get the Lombardi, baby!!!!

 

[kskboys]

People are incapable of being happy anymore. It is a tragic feature of our day and age it seems.



How is it even possible to avoid them? They make up probably 60% of all new threads started and of the remaining 40%, more than half get turned into a carousel of the same worn out, unintelligible, braindead Dak bashing that we get 365 days a year from these clowns.

That leaves us with approximately 1 out of 5 threads (give or take) that are spared of the trolls. I thought last season would be the high water mark for troll activity on this site, but we are starting to reach biblical levels. It's no longer just a small sideshow here. It is the whole circus.

I know, I know. It's absolutely disgusting.

 

[kskboys]

Impossible. 95% of threads become Dak threads.

I wish it wasn't so.
