Not bookmarked but I found it. Also a bit of that in the in game thread, if I remember correctly. Like I said, I wouldn't want any NFL player to get the Full Metal Jacket treatment, and I find it amusing that a fan club could accept someone back with open arms after that. Kind of reminds me of an In Living Color skit from back in the 90's

I mean that’s not nearly as bad as I thought but aye it shows AC is fair and balanced when it comes to Dak lol.

I laugh because these guys every season keep holding out hope. I call it Pickens hope but we've already seen this story before. Dak had Amari and Lamb. Still couldn't beat the 49ers in game where the defense held up pretty good. All the moving pieces are changing except for the QB and the results are the same. This going to be a fun season because the schedule is harder and the division is better.

Yet you’re still here. And from your past posts, we all understand why.

 

[Rockport]

Also, I find it kind of hypocritical, considering that some people on here have been labeled haters for saying less extreme things of Dak, even when they were Dak fans.

Well, you’re certainly a hater. A well earned one at that. Congrats.

I've given every quarterback we've had a fair chance, even Quincy Carter. Embarrassingly enough, I probably overrated Dak more than most homers on this board have. Back in 2016, I thought he had the potential to be the next Big Ben in the league. Some of you guys just don't know when to let go, still thinking somebody is going to get rejuvenated and is somehow going to become the next John Elway, when we saw what his current ceiling is given ware and tear and age, last year, before this injury. Somehow, an injury that should make him slower, is going to be an non factor, when his big problem last year was that he just stood there in the pocket, taking sacks. Somehow the probability that he is going to get injured again, is a non-factor, when people were thinking Romo fans were dumb for their wishful thinking when his non-fans were saying he was too injury prone. I remember several people saying that availability is a factor on who should be a quarterback, and I am sure now that is a non-concern when others are saying that Dak is Injury prone at this point.

That's not on the level of an Eagles Fan, to wish that kind of abuse on a player, the kind that drove the character in the movie to go insane an kill his Sargent? Like I said, people on here have been called haters for a lot less, even those who were Dak fan for giving any kind of criticism.

I’m not a fan of wishing violence on players. But that type of talk has been established here. I’ve seen guys wish death on Dak, hurt, laughed at his brother dying…..I mean I’ve seen it all so when you show me that while I disagree with it it’s certainly not the worst thing I’ve seen. Eagles fans are a different type of trash they booed Irvin after injury so I don’t hold that scum in high regard either.

It’s not about letting go or looking right. The guy is here. Do I wish we had Mahomes? Sure. But some of us are going to root for who wears that star. There are some exceptions like scum like Greg Hardy but ultimately you wear that star I want you to do well.

Just because you wear the star doesn’t mean you have to root or like for them. But that’s what this about right? Being right? What other reason would one have to dedicate 100 percent of their time to negativity?

If that is true, why is it okay to throw other people under the bus, to prop up one guy who others don't believe in? That got Dak more flak from people than he would've otherwise, when a fan of one player sees that player thrown under the bus in an attempt by other to deflect blame off their player.

Give me an example….what player gets thrown under the bus? Because seems like the consensus is Dak on the playoffs is our biggest problem.

That would span Dak Career from at least 2018 when people first started having concerns with him in general, to now. I mean I could say Zeke in his prime, The entire offensive line at various points, CeeDee, The point is someone could be a bigger fan of the another player and when you have a group of people on the zone berate their guy to prop up their guy and deflect, then the negative feedback the guy they are trying to prop up is obviously going to be bigger than it would've been otherwise. there is nothing wrong with criticism but when a half the fan base sees it is disingenuous, and sees it as a cult following of one player trying to deflect, then that causes those fans to sour more on that player than they would've otherwise, the exact opposite reaction of what the other group was originally trying to achieve.

You're letting one or two people define a whole group of people lol. You're also not being truthful in "oh a guy is being berated because he dislikes Dak"......that's not the complete narrative. To be truthful, you have to acknowledge the basis of these arguments and why they are occurring, and why both sides share the blame in them. Supporting Dak or any player doesn't mean it's a cult. Most of the people on this site who do it are balanced. Sure, you can list a few that aren't just like you, can list a few that are anti. But the loudest in the room doesn't represent the whole bunch.

The most i've seen is people will say the rush defense sucks or say EVERYONE sucks. But it seems that gets taken as Dak's defense. Anyone who blames Lamb for Dak's woes in the playoffs, I don't even know why you'd take their opinion seriously anyway. As far as the offensive line goes, if they are bad, they should be called out for it.

 

[HonoluluCowboy]

So now we want to blame Dak, because he can't avoid a pass rush from a poor OLine last seaosn.

Let's add it to the list.

1. Dak's fault we have no run game.
2. Dak's fault we can't stop the run.
3. Dak's fault because he can not avoid the pass rush, with poor OLine.
4. Dak's fault he can't throw deep because the ball has to come out quick or he will be sacked.
5. Dak's fault he can't score 40+ to beat the good teams in the league.
6. Dak's fault he can't score 7 TD's in a row.
7. Dak's fault our GM, does not believe in FA.
8. Dak's fault our GM wants to wait and overpay players, so our GM can use it as an excuse to not participate in FA.

What am I missing.........

your Dak Binky ?

 

[Bullflop]

At this stage of Dak's career, he knows exactly what to do to recover from his physical problems. He's "been through the mill," so to speak, and knows enough to stick to his rehab for a successful recovery.
Here's wishing him all the luck necessary to finally have the kind of a year that every NFL QB desires.

He was NFL MVP runnerup a couple years ago so dude’s got some game. You’re blinded by your hate and therefore can’t think straight. All you see is red.

NFL does a lot of wear and tear to the body. So a couple of years ago, can be a lotta millage on the player. He was already having issues on his "runner up to MVP year" in waiting around too long in the pocket. You guys seem to believe there is some sort of mystic fountain of youth that he is going to take a dip in. Some of the people believing that, ironically, are the same ones who correctly used to say that Romo was one hit away from being carted out on a stretcher. Cowboys should've drafted an insurance policy.

 

[Wapp5200]

He's just not the guy to win us a championship. Definitely overpaid but I blame the ownership for that. I don't expect much this year. We never stop the run or a third and long it seems. I've been a fan since the seventies and will continue to be, I just don't think I'll ever see another superbowl in my lifetime. That's all I got.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Could we have built a superbowl team around Peak Dak. Sure if we were the Ravens and had the right culture here. Can we now? He's not at his peak anymore; he isn't even the 2023 version of himself. I could be wrong, but I think the current Dak is injury prone, slow and worn, and people should except that as they had accepted that Romo was one hit away from being done. I think people here are too hopeful to the point of delusion to think we will get a rejuvenated Dak that will be up to his 2023 level, when he was displaying problems even back then of staying too long in the backfield and getting sacked. Cowboys needed to draft both a quality backup as an insurance policy and more preferably an eventual replacement.

Hard to believe he isn’t 2023 when he didn’t even play in 2024. I’m gonna wait until he actually plays ti determine how bad or good he is.

He did play in 2024, before he got injured, and people were pointing out that he was just standing around in the backfield waiting to get sacked. It was just with Romo, he got injured because he wasn't the same guy anymore. He wasn't mobile; he took sacks and seemingly seems to be injury prone. I hope he proves me wrong, but I know I wasn't the only one who was thinking that he was going to get himself injured just standing around in the pocket like that waiting to get sacked. If he hasn't improved from that aspect of his game, this year, I don't see how he can last a whole season.

What people don't know about 2023 and 2024 is Dak's stats are nearly identical the first 6 games. People don't remember now because of the All Pro but Dak started 2023 off slow and people said he "fell off".....went from starting off slow to a MVP vote and All Pro...

I believe 2024 would've went similar. I don't know if the stats look the same but he would've improved on his stats.
