Something isn't right

[SoupcanSam]

I have been a fan for a really really REALLY long time. I have seen some of the best and worse come and go.

I have also been on many forums going as far back as the old ESPN forums of the late 90's early 2000's.

I have never, and I mean never witnessed the trashing of any terrible players I can remember years back the way Dak has received as of late.

And we are talking about not only a guy who had a great 1st season but a guy that TECHNICALLY still had a second winning season(9 wins) despite zekes suspension, bad coaching and getting killed because of oline injuries.

I believe most made Romo the exception and fans turned the other cheek on romos flaws for so many years, and the man is damn near a home town hero without having contributed to a single piece of hardware.

We now dak can throw the ball, we seen amazing accuracy and down field passing in 16. We know he can win without a star wideout, he did it without an injured Dez. And we know he can hold his own without an oline and decent RB, he scrapped together 9 wins last year, cassell and weeden would have never even made it close to 9 in the same situation.

The guy took an *** whipping last year and the coaches refused to help him or make adjustments and a lot of you leaned on the "exposed" instead of seeing the real problem or the WHOLE picture.

This fan base is turning weird. It seems more like a lot of fans are looking forward to failure just to have an I told you moment then actually being excited about football.

I believe Dak will have his fair share of 3-4 td passing with a couple rushing td games, and will still have those fans waiting up till the 2min warning of the 4th QTR, for dak to throw that INT just to get their fix.

So I want to know right now. What makes Dak(who has 2 winning seasons under his belt, no matter how you want to spin that 2nd season) any different from the other slew of crappy *** players who have received nothing but slaps in the wrist from fans over the years?

I can go back to the end of the aikman era for a proper begining and don't remember one player that got this kind of treatment.

I for one won't accept the Dak got exposed excuse any longer. And the he isn't Romo excuse is damn near laughable because we all know how that goes.

 

[The Natural]

Plenty of guys got it worse than Dak on this forum alone.

 

[MarcusRock]

I think it's indigestion, personally. A few teaspoons of Pepto and Kool-Aid and all will be golden again.

 

[Jipper]

It's social media....people are frustrated and try to find an outlet....its either dak or Garrett bashing....thats typically the way of it...

I think both dak and Garrett are going to have the last laugh

 

[ScipioCowboy]

It’s not that many people. They’re just very vocal. I can understand being reticent with your emotions and a young quarterback, but he’s had a pretty phenomenal start to his career.

 

[viman96]

Romo received x100000000 more crap than Dak

 

[acr731]

The bashing needs to be directed at the coaching. Better coaching should, at the very least, put the players in a better position to succeed. Garrett and his staff fail at this at every turn.

Bellycheat hasn't always had the best roster or talent, but he knows how get the most out of what he is given. Thats the biggest difference between him and Garrett. One is a coach while the other is a cheerleader.

The Romonians will keep sniping, don't you worry. They are like imbedded communists, going on do-nothing raids, PR rants and constant drive-bys.
The Romonians wont be happy till Dak is on IR or having a bad stretch.
We're ready for you, Romonians. Now go back to your fond memories of 2-4 in the playoffs!

There's a name for this phenomenon. It's called "summer".

[Tangle_Foot]

It doesn't bother me, it doesn't effect my fandom one bit. From Zone posters to ESPN Talking Heads, there is no opinion that can take away from my Cowboys experience

 

[acr731]

Romo received x100000000 more crap than Dak

I wonder sometimes what a healthy Romo could have accomplished with Dak's 2016 o'line and Zeke at RB. Romo caught a ton of crap, and some of it was deserved, but Jerry failed to build a competent team around him for his entire career.

 

[Fontaine]

Hating on the cowboys is easy likes on social media, I don’t get phased by it.

Romo had it just as bad on here.

 

[Hardline]

Unfortunately we are taking out our frustrations from 22 years without a championship.
I am guilty of this.

 

[Vtwin]

I don't hate Dak. I also am not convinced he is the future, yet. I don't pile on him in the endless threads about him so I'm not one of the members you're referring to.

I do read all the threads. My take is that the "hate" is magnified by the admirers of Dak who seem to take any negative comment personally and react with a furious defense usually including a personal attack, however subtle (or not) it may be. At that point the gloves come off and is hate vs love to the death.

 

[Vtwin]

The Romonians will keep sniping, don't you worry. They are like imbedded communists, going on do-nothing raids, PR rants and constant drive-bys.

We're ready for you, Romonians. Now go back to your fond memories of 2-4 in the playoffs!

I completely agree.


There are a couple problems though.

Problem 1. He’s following Romo and people thought Romo wasn’t good so they sure as heck aren’t all going to think Dak is good.


Problem 2. Dak is limited as a passer. He’s never going to be an elite artist with the football so he will always catch a lot of criticism. He’s going to be a lot like Alex Smith.

That is so true, caffeinated lad!
