It’s now a passing league, high flying league. It’s not “sexy” to run the ball. Smash mouth football is dying and the NFL set-up the game with new rules for Fantasy Footballers / Fan Duelers to make it exciting to throw for 500 yards a game and end up with a final score of 54-51.
The new generation of football fans don’t understand the advantage of a power run offense and controlling the clock. So, Dak isn’t popular because he’s not a gunslinger. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, fans these days just want to see long bomb throws all day and don’t care if they go 0-16 while doing it.
No, people just love to be ***** and moan if the Cowboys are not dominating all opponents.
Even if the team is winning, they'll find players to hate (Jeff Heath, etc..).
It's their (easy) way of injecting themselves into the game/team.
They don't feel self-important by just watching the games but complaining makes them feel like their opinion is important.
They complained about Romo for several years.
They complained during Aikman's first couple of years and fans even wanted Steve Walsh to replace him.
Fans hated Danny White with a passion.
During the bleak Quincy/Hutch years they took sides on which guy to hate.
