Keep Dalton?

[Aviano90]

If you really believe that, why bother to watch the Cowboys? Why post here? If we’re so doomed, why bother with any of it? What’s the point?

Because my confidence level in the team (or lack thereof) doesn’t impact my ability to root for them.

No chance you keep him as a backup. We dont have the money for that and from what i read he also wants to start. Took the year only to prove he can be a starter in this league.

Think anyone is saying “We want Dalton to start for us!”

People aren’t usually too enthusiastic about things they don’t believe in. If there’s no faith or hope, what’s the point? Why root for failure?

I am not rooting for failure. I am just smart enough to know that is what is around the corner. I also know my son won’t be president. I am not rooting for his failure either. Get some perspective, man.

I don’t mean you’re sitting around chanting “I hope they lose!” I mean, if they won’t compete, what draws you? So anyone that thinks the Cowboys COULD be competitive is stupid? Yeah, I’m fairly certain that none of my kids will be president either, but doesn’t the Cowboys’ chance for success have at least a slightly better probability?

Yeah, we haven’t won anything in awhile, and the current team needs lots of stuff, but like fans of any team, it’s natural for fans to be hopeful. They’re smart enough to know that things are tenuous, constantly changing, and virtually anything can happen. If the book was already written, people would have gone somewhere else.

Before we go any further, can you explain what part of your reading comprehension skills led you to make statement?

I would love him to be our starter. I think we can have him for around 18 mils/anno.

But when you look in this forum and read thru all the posts, i figured the OP was about backup QB.

You said you were smart enough to see what’s coming. You seem so certain that Dallas has no hope of being competitive. That’s not reading comprehension problems, that’s simply connecting the dots.

No . 10-15 won’t make the difference. The sum overpaid players will . Paying dak 35-40 mil willl doom this team ability to compete for a Super bowl . If your target is 8-8 and occasional playoff appearances and a happy politically correct cowboys , then dak @35-40 mil is a good way to go .

Go do your Prescott hating with someone you actually have a chance of converting. You have less than zero chance of converting me. Don't bother replying because I'll just ignore it.

then let him walk. he is not worth a penny over that. perhaps if is willing to take the rest in incentives....

I don't like Dalton either but at least I'm honest enough with myself to know that 1.3 mil would get Dalton signed. He made 3 mil for this season as a backup so he's not going to take 1/3 of that for 2021. Like I said I'm not a Dalton fan but you have to be realistic.

That is a poor explanation. Just because I can connect the dots doesn’t mean I think anyone who believes the team has a chance is stupid.

Why is that a poor explanation? It couldn’t BE simpler! A person who can’t “connect the dots”, a person who DOESN’T think the team’s ability to compete is doomed is what, then?

Emotional. And you have been driven my emotions ever since the old forum. It overrides your ability to be objective.

Why is it emotional to ask for clarification? Or to disagree? Or to be steadfast in an opinion? Seriously, dude, I’m not trembling or yelling or vibrating or stroking out. I’m not crying, my blood pressure’s fine, I’m not mad, and I have the highest regard for you as a poster. I just wonder what inspires you to be a fan of the Cowboys if our ability to compete is doomed.

I answered your question already.

Do you need me to repeat it?

Yes. Please.

OK, cool. Personally, if I was convinced that our ability to compete was doomed, I probably wouldn’t be here. I don’t consider it emotional to get bored by certain futility. Most people expect some sort of “payoff” for their time and/or loyalty. It’s an investment for most people. I wouldn’t blow money on tickets for a movie I thought sucked. Get what I mean? Peace, bro!

Well, you must be depressed if you have been expecting a “payoff”.

Disappointed about my team, like any normal fan. Depressed? Naw, life is good!
