Dak had one of the best, if not the best, rookie QB seasons in NFL history. He’s made numerous comebacks and he’s taken the team to the playoffs as division winners in two of his first three seasons. It could’ve been all three if Zeke hadn’t been suspended (probably not but we’ll never know). How does that not merit any respect?
The respect is about 30-35 million a year, if he is disrespected because some do not think he is worth that amount I do not think they are wrong and this is long and short of it. I have said pay him as a average to good QB no problem but elite money, not yet he hasn't earned it and respect (money value in this case)is earned.

My comment had nothing to do with money, but thanks for injecting it into the conversation.

The OP video was about money in my opinion and hence the respect aspect of it as it relates to Dak at this time. The respect for Dak is only about contract money in this post. I didn't introduce money it was the underlining reason of the post.

I'm not even going to give Nick Foles credit for that Super Bowl. He always played with a short field if it wasn't for Eagles special teams and running game. Nick Foles I followed his entire career Cowboys have owned him. He's not going to do very well on his own just wait and see. He's an interception machine waiting to happen. He can't take the team on an 80-yard consistent Drive

MVP of the Super Bowl, do you even watch football?

Why do the Dak obsessors not understand the team game? It's almost universal (there are a few exceptions I am aware of).

By and large they hold to the idiotic notion of QBs winning and not teams.

I recall how many games this team won in 2015 w/o a good QB on the field - wins matter for QBs

but to eval a QB's value - forget the scheme and who else was on the field - check their 2 minute stats

by that measure there are few better, it shows you will and ability to win

I remember a lot of things wrong with 2015, besides just the bad QBs.

And I wholeheartedly disagree about using 2 min. stats to judge a QB. Just as winning and losing is a team effort, the first 58 minutes of a game are each equally as important as the last 2. If anything, the final two minutes are often inflated stats as the game has already been decided.

3 times SB champ and MVP was never going to be held out of the HOF. Aikman is trashed weekly during the season and called a bus driver... So that’s not disrespect?

And you’re changing it to people who live in Dallas? I’m pretty sure McFarland wasn’t referring to people living in Dallas.
I followed all of Aikmans career and don’t remember anyone anywhere calling him a bus driver.

Yes because of fans like you.


Are you in your feelings over it? I have been very complimentary about his progress since around the middle of last year. If you look just today before you posted this little whiny post you will see what I said about him. Also, I was defending him saying who cares doesn't matter if he is disrespected it just comes with the territory, sorry champ life ain't all sunshine and roses, and being a fan means being critical at times...

2 minutes stats include 2 min drills at the end of the 1st half when the game is still up for grabs, actually most of the stats are 1st half as there's a 50/50 chance at the end of the game that you're running out the clock, not playing catch up.

What other things were wrong in 2015 outside of QB?

For starters:

Dez was hurt, and wasn't right after his return.
The LG position was not held down by Leary
RB was not as good.

On Defense:

Terrell Mclain got hurt
Scandrick missed the season
Greg Hardy drama

There is also a propensity for large yardage plays, that are meaningless, at the end of the first half as well.
The entire game is a reflection of play making ability. There is a tendency of people to place an undue overabundance of value on later parts of the game (or half). The rest of the game is just as important.

Offense:
So four extra games of Dez
LG being Leary instead of La'el, but every other member of the Oline was still the same.
McFadden averaged 86.7 rushing yards per game after he took over as the full time back. Our rushing game was really good, had the 9th most yards in the league despite having only the 18th most attempts.

Defense:
McClain got hurt at a position that was manned by Nick Hayden the year before.
Had both Rolando and Lee that year
Greg Hardy played really well for us
Scandrick was replaced by Byron, who was the 2nd highest rated 1st round rookie that year

We were 3-1 with out starting QB, and 1-11 without him.

So tell me. The 9 game upswing from 2015 to 2016, who made the most difference?

Was it Collins to Leary?
Was it 1,000 yard rusher in 10 starts McFadden to Zeke?
Was it getting old Scandrick?
Four more games of Dez?
Getting McClain back?
Losing Hardy's 7 sacks?

Or going from the worst passing DVOA collection of three QBs to a good QB?

You won’t give any credit to the Super Bowl MVP that’s the definition of clueless.
I followed Nick Foles career he's a lollipop put the ball up for grabs work with half a field quarterback. Yeah so obviously you don't get it. They had to give somebody that award LOL they all stunk up the field that day obviously you have no idea. Cowboys have on him his entire career. Nick Foles LMAO

There's only one reason why the Eagles were in that Super Bowl special teams. They had a short field constantly. Nick Foles LMAO

I am a huge fan of Prescott. I've only seen two games where they have turned him loose the entire game. That was Baltimore and Giants. I truly believe in team truth one man does not make a football team Elliott or Prescott there a complement of each other . As far as I am concerned the word elite no longer exist in a backfield. Quarterback is not going to take over the entire team any longer. When I love about Prescott is how we produces when the game is on the line the fourth quarter when it's really in his hands his decision-making that counts most. Make no mistake about it he's not perfect but I'll take him over anyone else in the entire draft class. Go Cowboys . Elliott running the offense without him we don't win. That's a game plan. That's not necessarily a true evaluation of how we would be without him. When we were without him it wasn't because we missed him it was because we couldn't come up with a solid game plan because we didn't know if he was going to be there or not.
