again, context matters as I said.... Dalton beat 3 4 win teams, with their back up QBs and with the help of 9 turnovers, a defensive and special teams score...by contrast that same defense was giving up HISTORICALLY BAD numbers of 36+ points a game...Fine, so this explodes Dak's winning percentage to 40% for this season and Andy, GG and Nooch had a 36% winning percentage.with the same team.
It is splitting hairs because there is no tangible difference to our record with Dak starting in week 4 of 2019. This whole team has sucked in all areas, Dak included, since the 3-0 start of 2019.
Dak is a part of the Cowboys and the Cowboys have sucked the last two years. Dak has been average in most games with a couple great games and a couple bad games.
This team needs to be blown up and completely rebuilt for several reasons. Attitude, entitlement, talent, bad contracts and change of culture.
Dak is an above average franchise QB on a below average team and he makes the games a little more exciting but in the end it's the same results. We lose to good teams and we beat bad teams. If we sign Dak to a 42 million dollar deal for 3 years our cap will be killed and our below average roster will be worse.
It's not that I'm against Dak. I'm not, in fact I would love to keep Dak. I would be jumping for joy if Dak pulled a Tom Brady and played for 20-25 million. But he won't and if I was him I wouldn't either. I'd get every penny I can. I want to make this very, very clear. If we traded for Wilson I would feel the exact same way as I would if we sign Dak. This team sucks and if we have a 40 million dollar QB we will suck and be 8-8 at best. Patrick Mahomes and Brady in his prime could not save this roster.
So I'm not against Dak. I'm against a 40-45 million dollar salary killing the cap. If we have that, regardless who the QB is, we will be average.
Dak is clearly and obviously a top 10 QB, closer to a top 5, than to a #10....there is no argument there.
and I like the fact, you are blaming team short comings on Dak, and dismissing the defense, the coaches...Dak is supposed to overcome all of that dysfunction and getting to 8-8 was great onto itself because of that.
and if you don't believe in Dak, then why do you want to keep him. if you don't think he is going to get you there, why even pay 20-25M..... Brady took that money, because he is been in the league for 20+ years now. has a wife that makes and has made more money than him and he is on his 4 or 5th or is it 6th contract. he can pick and choose what he wants.....
and I agree with you, until we fix the defense, this team is as good as 8-8.....
