If Dak doesn't win the superbowl this year, why should we continue to support a perpetual choker?

[diamonddelts]

Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, John Elway, Jim Kelly and a host of other quarterbacks haven't won Superbowls after their first full 6 seasons..... im not say Dak is better than any of these quarterbacks, but did you have the same bar set for those quarterbacks that you have for Dak???


Or is this another one of those "only apply to no other quarterbacks in history but Dak" threads?

Should those teams have gotten rid of those other quarterbacks that didn't win a Superbowl after 6 full seasons as well???

Oh yeah, and were these same quarterbacks I've named considered perpetual chokers for failing to win Superbowls in their first 6 and 7 fulls seasons as well. Im just trying to make sure this isn't one of them goal post moving, hypocritical, posts that we see on a daily basis.

Game,set, and match.

Because you cant find a better QB for us to support

 

[noshame]

Well 1st you're assuming Dak is going to lead us to the playoffs, I'm not so sure.
Fortunately for us the NFC is weak

 

[ESisback]

Another ‘Dak sucks’ thread! How refreshingly novel!

One faction wants to blame one guy—the GM/owner. Another faction wants to blame one guy—the QB1. A third faction wants to blame more than one guy. Wild guess who’s right?

 

[FanofJerry]

Hope you profited off my trigger

He's had enough time to win us the big one. No more excuses. He has that elite defense.

Tell me Cowboy Nation. Why should we support Dak if he goes 1 and done again in the playoffs? If he can't win with this defense quite frankly he never will!! I'm tired and I want superbowls. We all do. Dak isn't Aikman nor is he even Joe Flacco. He's a perpetual choker that never seems to show results come playoffs!!

Have you ever had reconstructive surgery on anything requiring pins and a plate. I will tell you it is not an easy fun rehab. In this case, the throwing hand of an NFL QB. Hopefully he proves your doom and gloom wrong, but seriously, with a rebuilt hand and it is Super Bowl or bust?

I don't know how long Dallas is going to maintain this defense. Maybe a year or two more. But this is our window to win with Dak. So if we don't win one with this defense in the next few years, I'm all for not extending Dak further.

Problem is other teams want to win too. That guy in Buffalo wants to win too. And he doesn't care how good anyone else is.

No one can deny that the level of stupidity has risen steadily on this site in the last few years. The idiots have found each other and they are in a moron filled self-fulfilling virtual circle jerk.

Whether we support him is irrelevant. His cap hit is $49 million next season and projected to be higher in 2024. He's not going anywhere.

They'll end up extending him, with a signing bonus, to lessen the cap hit. The Jones boys made their commitment. He's our Kirk Cousins.

This is the truth, whether you view it as fortunate or unfortunate we're saddled with Dak for the foreseeable future. So when I think about this season unemotionally I feel if we don't advance in the playoffs then I'm looking at coaching first. I'm stuck on the 4 game win streak with Rush. Not that I feel Rush is better, he's not, but I would argue we played better as a team. Less penalties, more execution and most importantly a gameplan that covered up Rush's deficiencies. So let's say Dak gets us to the playoffs, which will happen and we lay an egg and Dak plays terrible. As a fan I want to know why Moore and McCarthy was able to "coach up " Rush but not Dak. Let's say Dak sucjs when he comes back, again I want to know why the coaching staff is not coaching in a manner that takes advantage of Dak's skill set.

The Eagles game was an eye opener for me. I don't feel Hurts is a great QB, or even a good QB. But his coaches are doing a good job of using his athletic ability to win games. I feel Dak is better than Hurts and I'm not a Dak backer. So why can't Moore get the best out of Dak and gameplan to hide is deficiencies? He did it with Rush. If Dak sucks when he comes back or lays an egg in the playoffs my first hope is Moore is replaced by a better OC. I got a feeling Moore and Dak are not on the same page. Just my opinion. I think if Dak sucks it's too black and white to put it all on him. Again I'm not a huge Dak fan but I am a huge Cowboys fan and IMO we may have a QB OC problem.

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

If not Dak, then who? And I don't mean that sarcastically. It's an honest question. Do you draft a QB? Do you even trade up to draft the best prospect we can get? Do you trade for a QB? Try to find a small-school sleeper QB? Maybe your #1 pick is used on a QB two years in a row and let them compete? If Dak is shown his walking papers, there must be a legitimate plan to find someone better.

Cooper Rush has performed admirably in Dak's absence, but he's not starting material. He's someone we were able to win with as a game manager with excellent defensive play. I'm not knocking him. He did his job well, but Philly exposed why he's not who you win a championship with. He's a guy who can do a good job filling in while your starter's out.

Maybe Amber Heard could step in?

Oh, sorry, wrong zone.

How'd you feel about Romo?

What year did Romo ever have this level of talent around him?

Jerry Jones overpays for average to below average talent

Anybody who is under 40 doesn't understand. I'm getting old!!! I want another ring!! We had it too if we weren't cheated!!

I'm going to be 30 in late December. I understand that we all want a ring, and so do I. That said, it's not up to us with Dak, number one. That's up to Jerry, and, I don't know about you, but I'm staying with the Cowboys. Especially with the fact that I put Cowboys stars on my fursuit. Secondly, he's been injured for the last 4 weeks. Thirdly, nobody was expecting a Super Bowl this year. Especially with the lack of moves this offseason. Fourthly, let's be a bit more patient. I don't know if Dak will get us there this year, but, if we can settle into a bit more of a run first team and pick up a NT, I think we can win it all next season.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Sorry to say that 2016 team wasn't winning a superbowl. They couldn't stop the Packers and they were missing one of their best receivers. You think they Stop Brady with a much better defense?

Not only that, but we had Jason Garrett at the time. We were eventually going to be humiliated that season. At least with Mike, he's been a much better coach than Garrett. Look what he did with a backup QB. Garrett would've had us winless, and Jerry would've said no worries with the fact we had a backup QB. Furthermore, the improvement of Rush with Mike having been a Garrett QB is remarkable.

Drew Brees - made it to a Conference Championship in his sixth season.
Peyton Manning - made it to a Conference Championship in his sixth season.
Dan Marino - NFL MVP, won a Conference Championship, & played in a Super Bowl in his second season.
John Elway - won 2 Conference Championships & made it to 2 Super Bowls in his first 5 seasons.
Jim Kelly - made it to Conference Championship in his fifth season (3rd NFL season).

Non of our post-Aikman QBs should be compared to the guys you listed. They actually did get results that showed their potential. Non of our post-Aikman QBs have gotten anywhere even close to the guys on your list in first 6 seasons comparisons. I like Dak, and he is the guy for now, but he, like Romo, did not get results that compare favorably with your list.

You mean the choke defense that gives up 100 + yards rushing every playoff game.

 

[Zman5]

Oh he's not that serious. As long as the Cowboys makes him money, he's fine.

FIFY.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

I gave up on him in year 2. No one should support him anymore. He's 6 years in and has had very little success for what he is costing us. Total dud.

Do you even know how many rushing yards the defense gave up in the playoffs?

 

[USArmyVet]

Fantasyland.

Dak put up 31 points against Green Bay. The defense gave up four TD drives of 75 yards or more, and couldn't hold for 30 seconds to force OT.

The Cowboys have never won a playoff game when the opponent scored 30+ points. They weren't winning a SB with that defense, Romo or not.

Sadly Dallas only has 3 playoff wins since their Super Bowl days of the mid-1990's......let that sink in for everyone.
