I haven’t said anything to suggest he’s a choker. You think he’s a choker and would be easily replaceable. According to you all we have to do is just draft a QB. Plus you want to trade CeeDee and leave us with nothing. Glad you don’t run the team.
You kind of did. You brought up what he did when the game was over. All the pressure was off. Prior to that he absolutely sucked. Along with most of our team.

Those trades were four and five years ago. They do not happen anymore because high draft picks become more valuable as the salary cap increases. Unprecedented salaries for top players are such those high draft choices provide necessary cost control to be able to retain your stars and still field a team that can compete in the playoffs. Parsons will not be traded because he is more productive than anything the Cowboys could get for him in trade. Note—-if those teams in your four examples that gave up the draft capital had it to do over, with the possible exception of the Rams, they wouldn’t do it. No team is going to make stupid trades like that anymore.
That's not a long time ago. We're going to have to see a larger sample size for you to be right. I'm not going to assume a trend changes until that trend changes.

Not venting. Stating facts. I hope you don't drive because you're blind as a bat.
People don't see it. They see when the Cowboys start dominating and give him the game, he does well. No pressure. Come from behind? Nope. Not going to happen. The only team he plays well against consistently are the Eagles. If you don't count 2017. And you don't count that choke last year.

He didn’t play well early, but had our defense stepped up and kept the Packers out of the endzone we would’ve been in that game the entire 4 quarters. The Packers had a 14 play drive on their first possession that led to a TD. It was obvious we weren’t going to be able to stop them the entire game. After Dak threw his first INT it only took the Packers three plays to get into the endzone. There was no resistance by our defense. Holding them to a field goal would’ve been a victory. In the second quarter the Packers went on a ten play 93 yard drive for a TD. Our defense had no answers for them. It was total dominance by the Packers offense. Dak could have played the game of his career and we would’ve lost. The Packers were unstoppable and nothing we did on offense would’ve changed that. Go back to the Seattle game a few weeks earlier at home. They would have blown us away had Dak and our offense not been firing on all cylinders. Our defense was getting manhandled in that game.

Only the unhinged people don't see it.
Those who chime in to disagree and then tell you to
go somewhere else. Oh and they get offended so
easily.

Which player is capable of being replaced with the least drop off in talent?

Who replaces Dak, Trey Lance? Who is the Cowboys next best WR?

Parsons isn't just an EDGE, he influences every aspect of the defense, particularly their ability to produce turnovers. At least half their INT's were the result of his presence in the opponent's offensive backfield. He can be a pure playmaker, directly and indirectly.

So, which of the three is the easiest to replace with their present roster?

That's the problem. They knew this time would come.

Doesn’t take much to get some to act like 12-year-olds. They get frustrated and start with the junior high name-calling. :laugh:

It's a false scenario. Parsons doesn't have to be paid this year. CeeDee isn't missing game checks so I would call his bluff. He can miss training camp. So if I had to pay just one, it would be Dak, but I'm not paying him either until he punches our ticket to the Super Bowl. Short of that, Dak can walk and Trey Lance will resign at a much cheaper price.

I doubt that coz he would now be going into the 3rd year of that deal which likely means an extension or new deal after this season ( this is based on most standard big-money contracts are 5 years, 3 years guaranteed)
Maybe. Guys tend to hold out whenever, though.

He just didnt show up until mid 3rd Qtr...
Then feasted on G.Bay 2nd, 3rd stringers
He might have shown up earlier had our defense showed up. If you look at our games last season every time the opponent scored a TD on their first possession it led to a blowout. Once our defense got off to a bad start, it was over. By the way, Green Bay didn’t start pulling their starters until the 4th quarter. They ended up having to put them back in after they started getting toasted.

Cowboys fans understandably think in terms of decades as a long time. Fair enough. How many years since any team has traded a first round pick to Dallas?
