Stephen: We can win this thing with Dak

[MountaineerCowboy]

Yep, you've said that already.

It can't be said enough.

 

[big dog cowboy]

"Other than he hadn't won some key playoff games

Good grief.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

How does it feel to wake up every morning and the 1st thing you can think of is ...how to I diss on Dak today and all day long ....

You never really run out of material, so there's no need to think about it.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

“Other than he hadn't won some key playoff games, he's everything you want in a quarterback.”

Yes, other than the most important aspect of sports, he's everything you'd want.

 

[Stash]

Yes, other than the most important aspect of sports, he's everything you'd want.

That’s definitely a huge qualifier there.

But I’m pretty sure it never occurred to Little Enos when he said it.

It must be great to screw up everything you touch and still have a job for life.

 

[Bobhaze]

Wait…no mention of having the “secret sauce”?

Take all of Stephen’s long ramblings about this team and the simple translation is:
”I’m on a billionaire gravy train- and this fan base will line up and buy into whatever we sell. So what do I have to worry about?”

 

[noshame]

Gawd almighty.

Sometimes few words sum it up best

Cowboys committed to Dak Prescott long term, want plan to extend QB: 'We can win this thing with Dak'​

Prescott has two years remaining on his extension, which he signed in 2021​

The Dallas Cowboys haven't reached the NFC Championship Game in any of Dak Prescott's seven seasons as the starting quarterback, but that doesn't mean the franchise isn't committed to him for the long haul.
Two years after signing a four-year, $160 million extension with Prescott, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones would like to extend the quarterback again.
"We've got to have a plan to ultimately extend Dak," Jones said, via ESPN. "I've got all the faith in the world we can win this thing with Dak. Because we know him. We know what he's about. His leadership skills are undeniable. Impeccable work ethic. Other than he hadn't won some key playoff games, he's everything you want in a quarterback. From the day he walked in the door, he's won a lot of games. We just got to get over the hump."
Prescott is tied with Matthew Stafford for the seventh-highest average quarterback salary in the NFL at $40 million per season, signing his massive extension in 2021. Only Patrick Mahomes had a higher contract than Prescott at the time he signed his extension ($45 million per season), and Prescott will be outside the top 10 in quarterback average annual salaries once Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson ultimately sign their contract extensions -- all certainly to be higher than $40 million per season.

Should the Cowboys be in a rush to sign Prescott? Not only does Prescott have two seasons remaining on his contract, but he is 30 years old and coming off arguably the worst season of his career. How significant of a pay raise should Prescott receive after a season which he was tied for the league lead with 15 interceptions despite missing five games.

Prescott completed 66.2% of his passes for 2,860 yards with 23 touchdowns to 15 interceptions on the year (91.1 rating). The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback has led the Cowboys to a 61-36 record in the games he's started with four playoff appearances (three NFC East titles) in seven seasons. In the postseason, Prescott has completed 63.4% of his passes with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions (92.3 rating), but has just a 2-4 postseason record and hasn't advanced past the divisional round of the playoffs.

The Cowboys appear comfortable extending Prescott with the quarterback contracts -- and salary cap -- going up. Perhaps they want to get a jump on a pay raise before the market inflates.

You can win with Dak

our fans just hate Dak and its on a personal level to where if he does win theyll say its inspite of him

However if he doesnt win in the next 2 years maybe even next year its time to look at other qbs

So you'll become a "hater" in a year or two?

 

[Stash]

It looks like all of my worst fears are coming to pass.

They’re going to extend Dak.

They’re going to franchise tag an injured running back.

They’ll probably end up overpaying OBJ.

Well that is true.

 

[JayFord]

ive never been a "hater" but when its time to bid farewell its time just like I still like Zeke but its time to let him go

The Jones family may be the Milky Way galaxy version of the Palpatine clan. Jerry and Stephen Jones. One master. One apprentice. The Rule of Two.

They’ll always be these two for me.

 

[ChuckA1]

Then Dak has to find a way to play big in big games

 

[zack]

I feel like they have a template they follow and just change the names. It’s the same ole BS every year.

 

[Rockport]

We get it. You hate our front office.

I like the scouting department.

 

[Hawkeye19]

So— pay MORE money to a guy who hasn’t demonstrated or proven he can win big games.

Brilliant. And we wonder why we have not won anything in nearly 30 years.

Incompetence doesn’t even come close to describing the situation we find ourselves in with this FO
