Dak's not on the same Tier as Troy Aikman. I don't think Jimmy would've payed a Good Player like a Great Player. And all this talk about MVP, I feel the fan boys are over inflating again how good Dak is.Jimmy would have supported paying Dak because he placed great value on a QB. He proved that in 1989 when he took Troy Aikman with the number one overall pick and used a first round pick the following year on Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft. Jerry wants to sign Dak but not for the kind of money he’s looking for based on the type of season we had last year. Kansas City wasted no time re-signing Mahomes after their Super Bowl win because they know they have a great player. Dak has yet to prove he’s a “great” player. The numbers he had last season didn’t equate to team success. It’s made it more difficult to re-sign him.

Dak’s stats weren’t actually that that big in 2 of those first 3 games because the team ran the ball heavily in the 2nd half after building a big lead. But sure, competition level plays a part.. I don’t think that was all of it though. He put up big stats against Minnesota and Buffalo for example, but it didn’t seem as much of a part of a consistent and coordinated game plan.His first 3 games... on fire
Then he came down to earth. Coincidence that the competition got tougher?

While that can be said for any qb . It’s more about jerry pinned himself in the corner with the cap space. The DLaw,zeke and other contract made it more difficultHad Dak had the type of season Mahomes had last year and it led to a championship for the Cowboys he would have a new contract right now. His demands exceed what he’s accomplished.
Dak struggled against playoff caliber teams and did not lead the offense well against good teams when we needed wins.
NO, NE, @Phi were just brutal. @Chi and Buff were sloppy and the offense simply was unable to function effectively the majority of the game. Plagued by slow starts and stubbornness (not all of that is on Dak obviously)— the league’s “top ranked offense” failed to deliver when we needed it to most.
Some will say Dak was hurt. Fine. If he was hurt that badly— and his performance vs NE and Phi were due to the shoulder— then he should have done what was best for the team and sat out. He certainly is tough, but he was definitely bad in those games.
Bottom line: you want to be paid as the best, you better deliver the goods against the best competition. Dak did not do that nearly enough last year IMO
I didn’t say his season was consistent, and in fact was saying it was not. What I said was there was a circumstance that may have played a part in the failure to be as consistent as needed.
I think that’s a bit of a stretch, but it does make paying him more palatable. If he wins a super bowl are you goi g to give Dak half the cap? Probably not.
Sweet music to my ears!People should probably get used to Dalton. Chances of Dak staying is small at this point.
With the OL, WR's and RB's, he should win the MVP.
Cowboys Fans would still be wondering why we didn't sign Dak last season for a cheaper deal.....kinda like every season
I think if that happened he'd price himself off of the team. It makes no sense to pay the QB and lose the rest of the players that got you there.
