I have no issues with a skeptical view of i'll believe it when I see it. But not fair to say that it'll never work with Dak with McCarthy as playcaller. More run plays, upgraded skill positions. Dak is bound to have a better overall season as long as he stays healthy. Of course if it doesn't work out this season, then all the haters can have full Internet Tough Guy bragging rights.

That was friendly for a very different reason that had nothing to do with working closely with the coach on installing an offense.
Really? Must've forgot about all the taking the ball out of Romos hands topics. Both stupid talking points.

You're right, the Colts should never have given Peyton Manning year 9. Drew Brees, definitely should have been cut halfway through his contract with the Saints.

It's not a strawman, it is the exact logic you're using. You want to draw hard lines, then fine, but that's why they are ridiculous.

So, do you want to compare Dak to those guys? Not sure where either were drafted or what the team was like when they did get drafted because that is years and years ago. Dak was a 4th rounder and went to a stacked team, not a rebuild like those other guys. The year Dak had his best games was his first year, then after some star players left he cannot compensate because he is a mental midget when big boy light come on.

Are you one of them fans that really don't care about a SB, you just want to watch him stink up the place? Yeah, Dak can beat up the little kids on the block, but once he gets hit in the mouth by the big kids, well, you saw it just like the rest of us and if that is OK with you, well, that is a loser mentality. Are you a loser? You want to be right or you want to be happy?

Show me where Dak has performed like either of them then you have an arguement. Actually with Peyton, Dak is a little closer since he stank in the playoffs as well

Cherry pick much?

Peyton Manning made the Championship Game in year 6. Dak’s already overdue.

Brees in just his second year with the Saints. Dak is waaaay overdue then!

Back to the drawing board for you.

It’s exactly a Strawman, whether you think so or not. You’re unable to deal with what I do say, so you’re forced to resort to making outlandish claims about things I haven’t.

The point is that, until they won a Super Bowl, you could say the exact same thing you're saying about Dak - prolific in the regular season, falls short in the playoffs.

And if you're going to take hard lines about having to win to justify being there, the regular season numbers don't matter. You're already undermining your own argument by making exceptions.

It was after the release of TO that Jerry coined the phrase. Very different from what's happening with Dak today. Plus on top of that way back in 2009 Jerry was making one ridiculous move after another. The team sucked and went on to crash and burn for the next 5 years. Nothing on that team was Romo friendly.

Going to a NFCCG isn't any sort of reasonable barometer. It's an arbitrary distinction you're using just because he hasn't done it. Dak could have gone to 5 NCCCGs in a row and you'd just say "well he hasn't won a Super Bowl" and just move the goal posts. If the goal is the SB then the NFCCG is a pointless distinction.

It is not a strawman, it is a direct response to your argument. Your argument is that if he does not go to a NFCCG, he does not deserve a new contract. Period. This distinction does not allow room for things like how well the quarterback performs in a loss.

The second you add exceptions is the second you are contradicting yourself.

I could say the same thing about them, but don't try that crap, they have won a SB. I now see those paper tigers you like to roam around with. Get real for minute. Just how much longer as a fan of the Cowboys are you willing to give Dak to try and win something meaningful besides leading in Ints missing 5 games or 4 or whatever is was. That is not a quality QB that can win the prize. I'm not happy with that, yet you must be. Sad to be a fan like that.

This is nonsensical. They won a SB AFTER the point Dak is currently at in his career.

Dak gives you the best chance to win out of anyone you'd get except for him right now, and I invest in him and the talent around him to try to win a Super Bowl. You want to get rid of him and just pray you find a good QB, but I'm the one who doesn't want to win? Illogical and wrong.

See? Yet another attempt to put words in someone else’s mouth. You may as well be off to see the Wizard!

Actually it’s the second I’m clarifying my position. Not that it does any good with you because you just resort to making things up. It’s clearly your M.O.

I’ll stop wasting my time debating someone who’s clearly not up to the task.

So the offense will be dumbed down and simple for Dak to grasp.....
Nothing new.......happens all the time. Remember a few years before Romo retired Jerry and Garrett announced our offense would be more "Romo friendly" going forward.

So, you OK if the extend him for 4 or 5 more years? Is that what I'm getting from your nonsense? Oh, another thing, Dak is nowhere the QB those two guys you brought up are. How about the salary he will get, you fine with that even thought it is a detriment to the overall team?

By your logic, those two quarterbacks weren't near that level UNTIL they won the Super Bowl. That is the point.

Yes give him 5x$260 or whatever and be done with it. It's not detrimental. This is basically the "roll with Andy Dalton and use the QB money on defense" argument all over again. You can't win like that.

The definition of a Dak friendly offense is one where the QB isn’t Dak Prescott. There, I said what everyone was thinking. You’re welcome!
Not everyone
Just a vocal group
Dak’s not going anywhere soon so eventually some will catch on to that

You haven't clarified anything. All you've said is that if he gets to the NFCCG he earned it

What is your definition of earning an extension?

lol...are you punking us? Are you sure you are not a fan of another team in the NFC-E because I guarantee you that the eagles the red things and the giants are glad Dak is here, well, maybe not all of them but I'm sure the whole NFL is glad Dak is the QB of the Cowboys because, well, you know why, just don't want to admit it. Anyway, carry on because I'm tired of arguing with a Dak over Cowboys fan. Have a good day...if you can.

Dak kills the Giants and Eagles every time he plays them.

I literally just explained how I think Dak gives them the best chance to win. If you have a reasonable alternative, I'm open to it.
