No he didn't. He took advantage of being injured and having Ezekiel Elliott and the rest of the Cowboys cover for him vs weak teams, and the media and his Agent and friends made excuses for his choking and deceived the Cowboys management into thinking he was better than he was. He got grossly overpaid and the Cowboys and their true fans have paid for Jerry's ignorance in keeping him and Jason Garrett.
Now the jig is up.
He got a massive contract after the Cowboys franchising him and he played so well. He did it yet again this year being the 2nd Most Valuable Player in the NFL. His agent is screwing up the negotiations and Dak doesn’t seem to be helping.

He hasn't played well. He is the reason the Cowboys go home early every season and without help from the referees they would be home sooner.

No, the reason the Cowboys have failed in the playoffs is because they can’t run the ball and they can’t stop the run. They are WEAK up the middle. You can’t win in the playoffs being weak up the middle. I’m not surprised you don’t know that.

You can't win big games when your quarterback shuts down, either. You can't win big games when your quarterback gives the defense 14 points early.

Losing to GB sucked all the wind out of my sails, I'm not getting excited about this team again till they get it done on divisional Sunday.
LOL, you will be right there with the rest of us happy at the first win of the season. Unfortunately, we can't quit this habit. LOL

His agent wants him to be a free agent. Jerry Jones cannot speak directly to Dak about a contract. Todd France believes he can get Dak a record breaking deal that will pay Dak a lot of money and enhance his reputation as a player agent. Jerry not only has no leverage, he is helpless. Dak’s agent is doing exactly what Dak pays him to do.

Lot’s of turmoil going on with the Cowboys right now with Dak’s and Cee Dee’s contract negotiations. The Jones keep daring Dak to prove his worth and Dak continually delivers coming in 2nd in NFL MVP voting with MM’s QB guruness. He’ll do the same this year and it will be interesting to see how the Jones screw that up.

But for this year, Dak’s here so the passing game will be as elite as it was last year and I predict better. That’s because of the road graders the Cowboys drafted along the offensive line. Tyler Smith, Guyton, Beebe and Thomas. With Martin on the right along with an excellent run blocker in Steele and the offensive running game should be decent. The RB room is not complete as of today as I fully expect a trade before the season starts for a more established RB. Being able to run the ball will go a long way in playoff games.

As for stopping the run, well they have a lot to prove. Kneeland will be a help as he’s solid against the run but Hankins is gone and the only draftee was a 7th rounder in Rogers. Mazi’s still a question mark and hoping for the best there but again, it’s only May and I expect an upgrade with the DT’s before the season starts. Being able to stop the run game goes a long way in playoff games.

IF they can do those 2 things, then this team is more than capable of going far into the playoffs haters be damned!
2 weeks ago I was about as down on the Cowboys since 88 and 89. These last 2 weeks have been good for us. I feel we had a solid draft that provides a good foundation. Also with Dak being cleared of criminal charges is a plus. I’m not the biggest Dak fan on the field but I am really happy with that mess being cleared up. I’m glad this organization doesn’t have to deal with that type of drama again, especially in this offseason that has already sucked.

I think I’ll get more excited as the season gets closer but things I’m going to watch for is running the ball, defending the run and QB play. This season I’m not going to get sucked into false hope like I did last year. I’m looking for solid QB play, running game and run defense against good teams. When I see that I think I’ll get more excited.

Now we’ve had a good two weeks so maybe I’m being optimistic but I think the run game and pass game will improve with the offensive line improving. That’s football 101. And maybe Zimmer will figure out how to stop the run. We’ll see but my excitement has been rekindled the last 2 weeks.

Not a phrase I ever expected to make, but that's a interesting take. The problem is that France is probably using the same tagline that you are.....2nd in MVP Votes. Dont worry, Jerry will capitulate in the end.....Dak and Jerry were made for one another.

Oh 2024 will definitely be interesting and will further divide the Pro-Dak v Anti-Dak debate.

The only turmoil is amongst the fans. The two people who should care more than anyone care less than the fans. That's why we are assembling the bare minimum of a team and asking them to "do more with less".
