Question for the pro-Dak fans on here?

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Dak ended the season with 5 INTs in his last 5 games. He got curb stomped by the Bills, was lucky against the Lions and was doo doo against the Packers.

He wasn’t MVP in the last quarter of the season, nor the first, He saved his worst game for last and should have had 3 picks going into the half, not 2.

He stink it up until they made changes during the bye. He only beat bums and still sucked against teams playing quarter coverages.

Lol, one of the Horsemen is back.

1993 Super Bowl Aikman threw for 4 td's, and 270 yards. Emmit ran for 108...ie. balanced attack, and if Troy didn't have the success he did nor would Emmmit. 1996 Super Bowl Emmit ran for 49 yards, Troy threw for 209 and 1 TD. Not sure what your point is?

His point is he doesn't know football. I'm sure he thinks Daks stats wouldn't suck compared to other Quarterbacks of that era if he was the quarterback of the Cowboys back then with Emmitt in the backfield.

honestly, the stupidest comment I have read on this board is that Aikman wouldn't be in the Hall of Fame if he hadn't won 3 Super Bowls...you can't make that up, we can't pretend it wasn't said

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Better teams in the SB guarantee wins.

Look at all playoff stats.

You want to compare Kelly against our D and Troy against their D, like somehow that is a fair comparison.

That's why John Madden used to love to praise Aikman, because he knew less about football than you Thats why Brees chose Aikman to model his game after, beacuse Aikman was average and Brees knows less about football than a Dakstan...

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Tom Brady has more rings than any franchise. I think you can safely say that the GOAT did some carrying.

The bad part was we had 5 before he even got one. Till he got Randy Moss, his best WR was Welker, who was a slot receiver. So he did a lot of carrying and without a star back.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

It reeks of desperation...and frankly some insanity. Can't just address Dak...they have to muddy up one of our legendary players with their filth.

We've seen everyone of the Triplets trashed by Dak Fans, either because they were a Quarterback, or they said something about Dak, or they made a comment about the quality of play the cowboys have put up. How can anyone be a Cowboys fan and put down the Triplets. I mean at that point, like some Daksters like to say, you may as well find another team to follow. Difference is I believe that for dissing the legends that made the Cowboys a legendary team, not for a player who hasn't even proven himself yet to be able to go deep into the playoffs...

There's anti Dak, pro Dak and then there's the reasonable fans who are in the middle that objectively look at the situation.

Dak is off to the worst start of his career, but that could also be said about a number of guys on this roster. There are many problems on this team and Dak hasn't lived up to even a fraction of his pay this year to pull them out. However, just because one defends a play by Dak, or points to the poor play of the oline, rb room, or defense giving up 40 points doesn't make them a biased Dak fan. They're just pointing out what should be obvious and that's there is a lot more wrong with this team than Dak alone.

The problem is, we realize there is a lot more wrong with this team than Dak alone. We realize we have a horrid defense. With his contract though, not much chance of fixing everything else. Daksters like to say this is a myth, that you just magically have to shift things around and things will magically work out and you can get any player and load the roster. This goes against what all the experts have been saying for years, and sure teams can offset some problems and shift money, mortgage so to speak the future, but you can only do so much of it. Then in the same breath, they start to whine, that Dak doesn't have recievers, a defense, a running game, offensive line etc, completely contradicting their fantasy notion that you can just magically shift monies around and get the players you want. Then it is Billionaire Jerrah is just being cheap, that *******!

QB is not responsible when the team gets blown out. It's a continued trend dating back to Week 5 49ers. Offense had been decent until the Lions game. No indication it's a continued issue. But the defense looks like it's definitely a continued issue unless something changes.

Define "decent", please.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Come on fellows, some used that Troy had the best back and OL and one of the greatest WR. We had the same in 2016 and unlike Troy and the crew, we couldn’t get it done with home field advantage.

I was just arguing with someone saying Troy at one point only had Irving as a WR and then some none real #2's on the other side, after the 1996 superbowl, and irvin still had 1000+ yard seasons. They counter arguments always is with them shifting the year back to either 1992 or 1993. Aikman could hit Irvin even though the guy was double covered because we had no real number 2. Then they like to compare Aikman numbers to now, even though he was on a run heavy offense in the 90's and people used to unload on receivers if you went across the middle for instance. The defense can't hardly touch the receivers anymore in the current game.

Just think what the living 70’s players think of today’s game.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Dak has had plenty of good rosters and blocking and running games.. yet he sucked.. now the roster has finally caught up to the QB in training project and he looks even worse than ever before..

I wasn't surprised at all by the last two games. I knew Dak was going to look bad this year, because this is the first year he doesn't have a good line. It was hard having to hear the stans complain about the line when he was hardly being pressured. It still isn't an absolutely horrible line though. Things could be and eventually will be a lot worse in that regard.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Did they not buy Deion and Charles Haley to get us over the top???

I forgot it was all Troy Aikman.

Who said it was all Aikman. There were two super teams back then which John Madden said was like two all star teams facing each other. We got players to put us over the top because the 49ers were an elite team. I suppose Dak would've won against those teams if you switch Aikman out with him. Madden was a fool for praising Aikman saying he did some things that Joe never did during the playoffs broadcast. He would've said that about Dak too.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Exactly. He may not have necessarily carried all the time but he 100% elevated everyone around him.

Dak doesn’t even come close to bringing out the best out of his teammates. He folds like a cheap tent. 60 mil well spent! /s

I always find it comical when a dakster has to say that Dak Carried the team, mainly because people used to say Romo sometimes would carry the team in a game.

[Blue64]

Does Dak run the ball?

Does he play defense?

Dak should only have to throw 1 TD and 1 pick per game for 220 yards. Just like Troy Aikman.

Yeah except he won Superbowls and Dak looks like a deer in the headlights when the playoffs come around

 

[Typhus]

Help me understand. If Boy wonder average 1 TD and .8 picks per game why is it a problem when Dak is doing better than that???

Is it because Emmitt carried the team with 74 100+ yard games and we currently average 50 when we lose.

How come Troy could only win 40% of the time when Emmitt did not play or did not get 100 yards.

Please help me understand???

I get it when Troy lost, it most have been Emmitt's fault.

Your comparing apples to oranges when you are comparing different eras.

 

[JeffInDC]

This entire post is built on OP’s continued belief that Dak isn’t just getting blamed for losses, but that he should be getting ALL OF THE BLAME. Been that way for years. I’m reading all these responses and have yet to really find anyone that hasn’t put some of the blame on Dak’s shoulders. But, this obsession by some to place ALL OF the blame squarely on #4’s play has become nauseating. It’s as if the Dak haters don t even watch the rest of team anymore during these games. And, when other people that actually played the game chime in with their opinion, if it doesn’t match their feelings, then the tweets can’t be trusted (according to them). This post reeks of my opinion and ONLY my opinion is the right one. I even see people on here spewing that many times debunked BS about Dak’s $$$ is killing the team (while the Lions just ONCE AGAIN paid one of their premier players a TON of $$$ while their QB and Star WR are both among the highest paid at their position). When Dak has been the SOLE reason for any loss, I think the majority of us have no problem agreeing with that. But to continue to act is if he’s the SOLE reason and needing to make post after post about it has become…wait, is that you Jerry?

They also didn’t have the rules protecting the QB, including not falling on the QB. These guys today are being gifted 15 yard penalties over and over again.

 

[khiladi]

Where was Jerry playing GM at during that time???

Jerry clearly wasn’t on the field while Dak looked like a deer in headlights and playing like a turd…

Serious Question

Why is Dak always absolved of any blame when it comes to his poor play. After every INT, its either the receiver ran the wrong route or didnt do enough to break the pass up (see both ints when targeting ceedee in the endzone). After every fumble in the pocket (Sacks are a qb stat). And the most frequent excuse is scheme and lack of weapons. Was this not the same scheme when he was 2nd in mvp voting last season?

Don't you know man... Every other QB has a collection of Jerry Rices and Randy Mosses at WR, every WR turns into Deion on off-target passes, and their coaching and OL is always legendarily great.

Dak alone is forced to suffer through these imperfect conditions.

And as for the Twitterati... Most of these guys are relatively young guys who built their following in the last 10 years or so when twitter really took off. All they know is the time since Dak took over, so they have little to no true perspective. They're fans first who have spent so much time defending their man, they can't admit they might have been wrong. Many if not most of them are absolute clowns.
