Interesting take on the Dak situation

[Cowboys1966]

She has a lot of good points, BUT Dak has played, so bad in his last 2 playoff games, and the playoffs in general, many Cowboys fans want to move on from him. Cowboys fans are also sick of his lame comments after the playoff losses. Also, against the best teams we played in the regular season, the Whiners and Buffalo, Dak played bad!

I will say though, in these big games Dak IS NOT getting much help from the coaching staff or his teammates.

As bad as Dak was vs GB, the defense was WAY worse. Dak never quit. He kept playing. Micah and his D quit!! I am so glad Quinn is gone!!!!

we should of shoved or gone into tank mode…

He does not realize he is getting very close to being a twin for Al Davis in his last few pathetic years

He's already there. At least Al was a football man in his prime. The only good football move Jerry ever did was hire Jimmy.

I really don't understand the idea from some posters on this forum that a player isn't talented enough to play for you at one price but you have no problem playing him if he settles for half price. Half price makes them a better player?

You can afford to put more/better pieces around him if you lower his price, so there is that argument but that's with a normal FO. We have the Joneses.

Hopefully Jerry learned from Zeke and Dez, overpaying doesn't bring you anything but more drama...

What I find funny is the people that think moving on from Dak will allow the Cowboys to suddenly add all these free agents and return to the Super Bowl.

They forget two things.

1. This team did not spend on free agents even when Dak was here cheap on his rookie deal from 2016-19.

2. They act like moving on from Dak will return the Cowboys to the glory days. Okay, count up the playoff wins and Super Bowls from 1996-2015 before Dak got here.

Listen, I am not absolving Dak of all the blame, but this team's issues run far deeper than just one player.

I don't think it is one player but the QB is the key cog. The team reached a zenith with him at QB. 12-5 and not too far in the playoffs. That's not a standard we should want to be OK with. It's really no different than being 8-9 or 9-8. We are pretty handicapped with our FO and the nepotism that exists but to sit there and keep doing the same thing over and over is a nightmare. Dak is going to ask to be paid like a great player and he's just good/average. We'll never win if we pay a guy like that a second bag. Yep - its scary to go in a different direction but what's the point of staying on the current one? They aren't winning the SB with Dak. He can't do it. He's had every chance to change the narrative AND he's extremely expensive.

What is interesting here? This is just old opinions being rehashed over and over I the media cycle that makes a living off of the Cowboys.

 

[DanTanna]

The only way I want Dak on the team is if he reverts back to his rookie contract. We do not want a non-playoff QB getting paid like a playoff winning QB. End of story.

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

Boy is she a annoying witch.

Agreed. But she is also correct in what she is saying.

 

[Montanalo]

Maybe I am grumpy because it is in the 20's with a prospect of snow BUT, I don't find her take particularly interesting or unique. Many on this site, as well as a bevy (yes, I used "bevy" in a sentence) of sports reporters and journalists have postulated nearly identical takes.

Regardless, the only thing that will truly be interesting is if the Cowboys don't extend Dak.

 

[JBS]

Yeah bro. In the 8 hundred 78 billion posts on Dak Prescott this take has never come up

This is very interesting

 

[Coogiguy03]

If they extend him now, what and who will they spend the cap savings on?
Then they will be stuck with him for 4 or 5 more years then be in the same dilemma and can't move on after this year, or 2 or 3 more. Depending how the contract is structured. Plus need not to have a no trade clause.

Just eat the cost this year, and see what happens. He will not cost that much more later on than he does now.

They can create space other ways to bring in some low level depth type FA's plus the draft class.

No because we have to pay him WHO WILL WE REPLACE HIM WITH, there is nobody else ever on earth that has had poor QB play, Dak holds the leverage and we're hopeless if we don't extend! We must

 

[Coogiguy03]

So are you agreeing with the OP? Lindsay appears to be saying 'Jerry, just do it....regardless of cost and terms'.

No no THE OP didn't make the video

 

[Coogiguy03]

If we were not going for it then we should have traded him. This rudderless ship is now drifting into the rocks.

Getting too late better do it before the draft

We're going to watch film and get better

I don’t think she’s correct it’s just a spin of it’s not Daks fault all those QBs mentioned I would swap Dak in a heartbeat for. She is missing the big picture of 8 years and haven’t sniffed a CCG. Lot media wants to cripple the Cowboys with an extension for Dak.

I find it funny how all the women who cover the NFL seem to have this take. They know ball.

 

[Creeper]

On the contrary, the only card Jerry has left to play is the threat of not re-signing Dak and making him go the free agent route next year. In fact, Jerry's only card is to threaten to move on from Dak this year - sitting him on teh bench the entire season unless he signs or authorizes a trade.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Not at any cost. Jerry is playing hardball, and he needs to get Dak to give the team some help or else.

Or else what? Or else he has to be paid over $50 million per season to play quarterback for some other team? That’s the “or else”? More likely Jerry has been informed there will be no talk of a contract until after Dak is a free agent. That puts Dak in the best possible negotiating position with the Cowboys and every other team. Jerry is not playing hardball. France is.
