It must be very hard for you.Never hated Dak and still don’t.
Can’t stand the faction of fanboys that hero worship and incessantly run apologetic for him.

There's no scenario where any rational QB could complain about Dallas' oline in any of Dak's 4 seasons.In 2016, the Cowboys offensive line was much less injured that it is today.
This had to do with Romo was a great qb who deserved a real shot considering....I have to disagree. Some on here didn't like Dak from the beginning and got ultra salty even Romo was "healthy" and sat on the bench as a backup
Romo's heart didn't want to quit, but the rest of his body did. Too many broken backs, broken collar bones, broken fingers and cracked ribs.
It was time for Romo to quit.
This is exactly how I feel. I also think he's a fantastic leader and the perfect front man for the Cowboys, but the contract stuff has really dulled his luster for me.Dak isn’t Mahomes. He isn’t Russell Wilson. He is better than a lot of other QBs though. People need get over the fact that he isn’t perfect.
That said the contract negotiations are causing his supporters to question signing him long term. I have been a big Dak guy since the beginning. I don’t know what to believe on the contract but it is getting ridiculous.
All it took was 1 idiotic ESPN talking head to say something negative and the haters have been hating ever since. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the majority of the Dak haters hate on everything.Here is a thought, how many people were talking poorly of Dak in 2016 ?????
How many " haters" were posting here?? ( haters = anyone who wants another qb or thinks dak isnt good enough,
or thinks he is good but not worth the money he is demanding.)
None I would guess, this all took the last 3 years to develop and then add in the whole longest contract debate ever, and dak wanting
to be top salary at point of signing, and yeah we have some people that are saying dont sign him.
It is NOT like people have been against dak since day 1.
Same thing for elliot back in 16, but this is years later and both have been meh for last 3 years.
They have good stats, but that has not translated to much season wise or in playoffs the last 3 years.
There are valid reasons for people to think dak is not the right guy, especially now that his pay will
go up what 35 times what he was making?
Again my point is this didnt happen overnight, and didnt really start until late into 2017.
Some slid back in 2018, but then after a 8-8 season and the last phil game , the whole
not liking dak started up in earnest, and then this contract thing has made it snowball.
Same here, it’s very entertaining watching the haters make fools of themselves.Fans is short for fanatics. No one ever said fanatics made intelligent decisions.
Fans tend to be lazy and stupid, so everything boils down to the head coach and the QB. The head coach is gone, so all that is left is the QB.
It is funny watching these "fans" pretend to have a rational basis for their reactions. It's one of the reasons I come here.
Mahomes is the best QB in the league so no one should get paid like he will. And Dak won’t but I guarantee you’ll still be here crapping on him like you do everything else regardless. Triple platinum guarantee.No one 'hates' him now. What most dislike is the outright greed without earning it.
Sure, Dak had a great season in 2016, but lets not forget why the season went well. Romo was supposed to be the starter with Dak as the 3rd backup. The rest of the NFL had plenty of film on Romo, but nothing on #3, who unexpectedly got tossed into the mix when #1 and #2 went down. If you remember, Dak started going downhill later in the season as the film on him expanded and the rest of the NFL started catching on to his tendencies.
Dak is not a bad QB, but he hasn't come anywhere close to earning top tier money like Mahomes. If it makes some people trolls or haters for feeling that way then so be it.
I think given the amount of time he had to fully heal....he could have come back and made a big run into the playoffs. His experience and skills would have been the deal maker. And I stand on record that Zeke would have helped keep romo healthy with blocking and reliable dump offs.
In the end we'll never know...so we'll have to grip our opinions on the matter with white knuckles.

Well said!When you evaluate a player it takes time.
Dak played good in 2016. But for opposing DCs it takes usually 1 year to gameplan for a new QB. Thats why people talk about 2nd year slumps QBs can have.
DCs need video material and time to figure out what a player can do and what he is not able to. Then of course OCs try to hide and scheme around his weaknessess.
Another reason for Daks good 2016 season was that the team was loaded back then. Remember with Romo we all thought this team is lacking just a great RB to win it all.
So usually when a QB plays good or ok in his first year most of the viewer will give him the benefit of the doubt even if they saw him play in college and know about his talent level.
In Daks second year his weaknessess were explored and it sgowrd in his play. Now he had so so year in 2018 but did not show any advancements in his game. 2019 then to me was a bad year for him. He clearly improved his throwing technique. But could hold onto it only to around game 5. When the preassure against better teams got stronger he showed he is still the QB that came out of college in 2016. He is just not able to get better in the more important areas.
So to answer your post:
Nobody with any knowledge of this game would have criticized Prescott in 2016. QBs take time to show if they are able to be great players.
He also was on a cheap rookie contract. So even in 2017 and 2018 it was hard to argue against a very very medicore player.
But he proved again in 2019 that even with a loaded offense he is not able to beat good teams. And i dont even want to mention elite teams.
Last but not least: even if you try your own definition of "haters" so the word wont sound too pathetic it does not make it any better. Just because you define a new definition for "car" for instance doesnt make it a train. It will still be a car.
To seperate opinions or people into haters or lovers is an easy way for those people who arent able to habdle the complexity of things.
I have to disagree. Some on here didn't like Dak from the beginning and got ultra salty even Romo was "healthy" and sat on the bench as a backup
