Is Dak Disrespecting the Cowboys?

[waving monkey]

All of the pundits and former players on the NFL shows say that the Cowboys are disrespecting Dak by not caving into his demands. Well, it can just as easy to say that Dak is disrespecting the Cowboys by holding out for a contract that will put him in the top tear of QB's pay wise while not achieving Top Tear success on the field. Along with not seeming to care that meeting his demands will hinder the teams ability to field a team necessary to help them achieve post season success.

We can conjure all manner of what ifs but a business deal [partnership] is being negotiated, that is all. Nobody is showing their *** as much as is speculated. Seriously.

I disrespect the Cowboys daily. No Cap.

Dak is putting his pockets before winning.

He's convinced himself, like some of you on here, that the money he makes doesn't matter and he can have his cake and eat it too.

We might open a 1 year window in 3 or 4 years if we're lucky.

Your position is if Dak takes less, then the team can rebuild the defense and everything will be in position to challenge for an NFC Championship game.

What season has followed this theory and worked out for the franchise since 1995?

Your thesis presupposes this management can intelligently spend the savings and make the right selections, thus assembling a team who can win it all. What it seems to ignore is the 2014 cap which had Romo at an equivalent cap percentage because the ceiling was 133 million then.

They scrambled to get under the cap by restructuring players. They still posted a 12-4 record.

What this really says about your premise is your assessment of Dak and his value as a player. You mask this in the money issue, which seems to be the link between you and the other people who fight so vehemently about the cap. A clever stratagem to sound unbiased, just possessing the most compassion for the team and their future.

Brady and Mahomes. There are two of those guys in the NFL and they have jobs. Everyone wants one. But they are taken. So your advice is to bet on the come with a rookie and HOPE you get lucky and find a diamond in the trash. You've used the word HOPE in regard to the draft and taking a quarterback more than a couple of times over the last week or so in your posts about Dak, money, and the draft. Your idea is to get lucky. Yet we have seen a player selected first over all in a draft where all the quarterbacks have failed, and been ushered out. Except Wentz, and he is benched. And Dak, who was tagged last year by the team he who selected him in the draft, (a sign of confidence else he would have been jettisoned.) The problem with this idea is the number 1 pick from Dak's draft class just got traded by the team he was drafted by for a 32 year-old quarterback, who the last time he showed he was special was at Highland Park, his high school team in Park Cities in Dallas.

So even the first over-all drafted QB brings no guarantees.

McVay created an offensive scheme for Goff. Divide the field down the middle from end zone to end zone. Goff moves to see the three layered attack by the receivers. Short, medium and deep. This essentially has a flaw in if the defense can stack their DB's and LBs in the correct fashion, Goff cannot be successful. His limitation thwarts the entire field option and shrinks the area where the defense has to cover.

But, the advantage Goff had was Arnold and a meat eating defense that gets the ball back for this quarterback who is confined to half a field of operation. Stafford may open up the field for McVay. But while Stafford throws a nice ball, he has limitations as well. His decision making is not as pristine as the pundits and mediots will have you believe. It's not like he was hamstrung with Calvin Johnson as a receiver. And Johnson was not the only receiver he had.

And when you add it up, the price the Rams paid in draft stock was ridiculous. Yet you have made the claim you would have taken that deal because Stafford is cheaper. Which disregards the price you would have paid for a quarterback on the back side of his career, and handcuffed the draft for more than one season. So the potential of getting high quality drafted defensive players you covet with this savings will not come before Stafford is 35 years-old.

Dak does not have that problem. Especially with the trio of receivers, two TE's and a pair of running backs who can move the chains.

Build a pass rush that actually can also stop the run. That includes a LB who can man the center of the field. Draft a LT that can move inside until Tyron is done.

Then lets tee it up. But this nonsense of money is simply a ruse to disguise your loathing of Dak. Your words invariably throw the shade of "hate" you have for this player for all to see once they dissect your body of work complaining about the money.

[blueblood70]

no not disrespect but i put the blame squarely on him for not signing that last poffer..it was big fair and for sure in his market..top 5 money should not have been an issue no matter the years..you want that tore up in 3 years get us to a SB..Jerry will back the truck up for sure,..jerry not cheap, hes using logic in this and always expect team friendly structure, its not about money for either side , egos have them stalled out over the structure..

jerry wants dak to be here, paid well but in return wants team friendly structure in years etc..its tiot for tat and dak has not gave jerry anything and hes not used to that..every big contract jerry has inked has team friendly language..all of them excepts daks and well he was offended by that and here we are..
I dont agree with a lot of Jerrys warts in the past but im with him on this..dak take the offer, come back AFTER you lead us to a SB..jerry wont say no..

most of the high paid top 5-6 QBs on the AAV list have at least been in a SB, period..

No.
Neither are disrespecting each other.

it’s business.

the only people who feel disrespected are overly emotional fans.

Facts, business professionals understand such.

 

[GuitarBytes]

absolutely, if we take the argument that the problem of why Dak didn't sign is because Dak wants 4 years and the cowboys want 5 or more on the contract, ok, if Dak signed a 4-year contract this year, It would be the same as having signed for 5 years last year, and if Dak were to play under franchise this year, and signed a 4-year contract next year it would be the same as having signed a 6-year contract last year or 5 This year, it's stupid, it's not about the years in the contract, it's about Dak's ego, who thinks he's worth more than Brady or Mahomes. Get it, he doesn't love the shirt, he just wants to take advantage.

Well, I think we've seen examples of players sometimes feeling that way too. And of course, that's silly, but it happens.

Romo got paid elite $$$ while not achieving top tier success on field..

You always bring up Romo when talking about Dak.

Hopefully someone in the organization learned that paying players above their pay grade or accomplishments doesn't translate to team success.

It's not disrespect. He's trying to be a smart business man. Athletes aren't just athletes. They're also businessmen.

Dak certainly has no fondness for dallas or Jerry and is taking this process purely on a business basis . Which is his right . But he is not showing any special affection to the team or the franchise or community. The negotiations saga is almost 2 years old while he is reaping the benefits and promotions. He has also hurt the team cap by forcing the tag last year .

Continuing to think a QB should be able to overcome bad management, garbage defense, and weak coaching shouldn't be something Cowboys fans still believe, yet here we are.
