No, Rucky, there's a subtly that you continually miss. You see THERE ARE MANY FAULTS WITHIN THE ROSTER, as was highlighted in the GB game. Indeed, ive mentioned in a number of threads that I think Jerry's intention was to extend, however, the capitulation has made him anxious about paying a player that's NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM, BUT HE ISNT THE SOLUTION EITHER.......ESPECIALLY AT $60M.
When I say he isnt the solution, it's based on 3 of the last 4 of his play-off games. SF (X2) Yep there were: the penalties, lack of run defense and running game.....but despite that he still had 4 drives late in the 4th Q to win/tie both games.....but could execute. GB game - yes the Defense all but gave up, but Dak's pick 6 and inability to play in a shoot out (but started playing well, as soon as the game was lost and pressure off ) highlights another limitation. Yes it can be overcome, but if we look at those three games it just confirms he needs : a good O-Line, receiving corp, Running game, Defense.....whilst receiving 20%+ of the CAP. That's just not happening.
For the record I have said that if Dak were to accept a long term contract i'd grin and bear it, go ALL-IN building that Defense, but i'm not sure that Dak could stand the added pressure that would put on him.
