Also, the more I think about it--I'm not buying this "realist" angle.
I remember a post you made midseason when the team was rolling (I think it got deleted because it came off the rails fast) but you posted the question "Who deserves the credit for this Cowboys dominant stretch" and I don't remember you talking team game then. We had the 5th ranked defense this year in yards allowed, don't recall you mentioning that. Don't remember you mentioning Daron Bland setting a single season record for pick 6's. Or talking about Cee Dee Lamb having one of the greatest years in Cowboy receiver history. Or McCarthy making the offense more comfortable for Dak to run.
Nope, I remember clear as day your answer on who deserves the credit: "Dak Mother ****** Prescott, that's who!"
I remember a lot of emoji laden posts telling "haters" to eat it and reminding them (with glee) that Dak was about to be the highest paid player in NFL history.
I remember a lot of "durrr, durr, durrrr" type nonsense which had nothing to do with legit discussion.
It wasn't "realism". It was a blatant attempt to flame, and fine, that's your right. It's a free country. There are guys on both sides of this debate that do this.
But you know what I Think? I think you didn't see any of what happened Sunday coming, despite that fact that many of us tried to tell you. You were genuinely shocked because you really thought this year was going to end up different and you doubled down on that all year.
You were not sure what to do. And so now--you can't deny the obvious--you're retreating to some "realist" safe space that you are trying to create, while spreading around as much blame as possible away from Dak in the process.
Sorry, not buying it. Dak will get his extension (unfortunately), and by next season we'll have 8 months of Jerry telling us how this year is going to be different. Dak will tell us too. Coaches will get fired, players will get let go, maybe a FA or two is added, lather, rinse, repeat. And by August, it's going to be time for Dak to finally show us how incredible he is.
And you'll be here, come week 1, with the same old schtick acting like anything but a "realist". Until (apologies to Jake Ferguson) the "wheels fall off" again.
Nobody is buying your realist trope, friend. At this point, just like Dak after 8 years, you are who you are. Embrace it.
