Is Dak the only super greedy QB in Cowboys history?

[Beast_from_East]

Surprise...

What exactly is the definition of “super greedy”?

Is Dak super greedy signing for $60 million a yr?

Is Taylor Swift super greedy charging over $500 a ticket to see her live, especially considering the number one demographic that buys her music is young girls between the ages of 8-16, who have little to no income of their own? (Parents buy everything).

Is the Rock super greedy for demanding $40 million to star in the next Fast and Furious, especially considering this is more than any other actor or actress has ever been paid in the history of the franchise, including Vin Diesel?

Does being “super greedy” even exist in a capitalistic society where the value of an asset is solely determined by what somebody is willing to pay for that said asset, be it a good or a service?

Does the concept of greed even exist in a free market capitalist society where buyers and sellers are matched based on supply and demand constraints?

Serious question.

Dak got shut out 49-0
your god is not great

Unless Dak is a boxer or golfer.... Dak didn't get shut out of anything. Now he definitely was part of a TEAM that got shut out. Dak doesn't play defense and special teams, but he played a part of the TEAM getting shut out.

Again... Dak was part of the bad play that got the TEAM shut out. I had to repeat that because there are some who are too dumb to comprehend simple text and would spin it and lie to say I excluded Dak from any blame.

I clearly put that false narrative to bed.

Dak needs restructure and take Less. Do the right thing man.

So we can what? Give money to Rico Dowdle?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Wrong. Romo was never the highest paid player in the NFL.

why would he be? He was suppose to get more than Brady?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Wrong:
In 2023 Slak was 3rd runner-up in MVP (1 1st place vote) voting behind Lamar and Josh Allen.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...-2023-win-mvp-lamar-jackson-brock-purdy-stats

In 2014 Romo was 4th runner-up in MVP (2 1st place vote)

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/awards/awards_2014.htm

So actually in the 2 years Cowboys QBs were in the MVP race, 2014 and 2023 Romo actually got more 1st place MVP votes (2) than Slak at (1).

Are you guys high? Dallas made a whole thread explaining this to you guys and you guys still just don’t get it. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult? It’s in black and white Dak was runner up. Josh Allen was not runner up for the 100th time. He wasn’t even in 3rd or 4th place.

Well guess who the owner who made the decision to even hire Jimmy was.... thats right, Jerry!!

And from where I sit, it appears that Jerry AND Jimmy were responsible for those Superbowl wins. People like to give Jimmy ALL the credit. Thats not the case.

Jimmy definitely was one of the best to do it, but he didn't win anything else (in Miami) without Jerry and vice versa.

I said Jethro was the owner. Yes, he gets credit for hiring Jimmy providing him full football control. Something he wasn’t provided in Miami.

 

[Diehardblues]

Romo was never the highest paid ever. And was 10x the QB Dak will ever be.

Fact check.
In 2013 Romo’s contract surpassed Flacco’s becoming highest in NFL at that time

[Blue64]

Romo aint better than Dak. Just stop. Dak has more win and similar or better stats than Romo. And Dak was runner up in MVP voting something Romo wasn’t even close to doing.

Wow runner up in MVP voting… like that is some badge of honor…

If Romo had the same lineup as Dak in 2016 he would’ve taken this team farther.
Yes Dak’s stats are better than most… but it means nothing in the end

I’m not a Dak Homer but MVP runner up helps define he was a big part of the success reaching the playoffs. Remember MVP voting is taken before the playoffs begin.

Offenses are supposed to score points and Dak is part of the offense, or are you going to argue he isn't? Dak and the offense got shut out - you can't blame that on the defense and special teams. Their job isn't to put points on the board.

I clearly listed that Dak was PART of our problem. I specifically said that. With that said, our offensive line once again was tops in penalties. It's not just Dak who's the problem. Receivers not named Lamb can't get open.... offensive line can't open rushing lanes....

For the 3rd time yes Dak was PART of the problem.

Yes sign some free agents. Keep Rico. Keep Lewis. Keep osa etc

I did create a thread explaining the MVP voting process and can say you have only partially addressed what @Jarv posted. You are correct Dak Prescott was runner up in the current MVP process that assigns a point system per AP vote.

An ESPN article was used in that post. The article outlines how the ESPN staff conducted an unofficial NFL MVP vote. It is where the one 2023 Prescott's first-ballot MVP vote that never existed came from.

The rest of the post was correct--although the year Prescott received a first-ballot vote was not:

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/awards/awards_2016.htm

His comment that Tony Romo has received two first-ballot MVP votes versus the one first-ballot vote for Prescott has gotten was correct. The Associated Press (the actual voting agency for the NFL award) gave Prescott his single first-ballot vote for the 2016 season, not the 2023 season.

What is more interesting (to me at least) is that both Romo and Prescott are looking UP to Ezekiel Elliott in terms of all-time first-ballot MVP votes. Elliott received six first-ballot MVP votes for the 2016 season.

Here's more trivia for the eternal 'Mortal Kombat/Romo vs Prescott/FIGHT!' discussion. Since Romo became the starter midway during the 2006 season, there have been four Dallas Cowboys who have received NFL MVP first-ballot votes:

6 - Elliott (2016)
2 - (tie) Romo, Demarco Murray (2014)
1 - Prescott (2016)

Keep the same guys we went 7-1 with….great.

https://www.nfl.com/news/tony-romo-signs-108m-contract-with-dallas-cowboys-0ap1000000155364

6 year 120.5mil extension for Flacco
Or 6 year 108 mil for Romo, or 7 year 119.5 deal since he was still under contract?

120/6= 20mil AAV
108/6= 18mil AAV
119.5/7 = 17.1mil AAV


The only thing Romo was paid higher in was total guarantees, of 55 mil vs 52 mil.
He got a smaller signing bonus of 25mil vs 29mil


The same year Matt Ryan got a higher AAV contract at 103mil over 5 years.
Rodgers also was re-signed in 2013 at a 22mil AAV.

 

[Flamma]

Surprise...

When you consider the Cowboys standard operating procedure with team building, A QB has absolutely no reason to take a penny less. If you do, it won't be spent to better the team.

Reading is fundamental. My links I shared, (ESPN and Pro Football reference) only count 1st place votes. The rest is fluff.

Yes, Romo’s contract just a couple days after Flacco was short lived as highest guaranteed contract that offseason.

No sensible person thinks Cabo made any difference

It's just an excuse to cover the hate.
