Our starting QB is the reason he put up the numbers that earned him that contract.
Please. He would have gotten solid numbers with any remotely competent QB. He's a good receiver. Dak elevates nobody. Never has and never will. He's a good regular season QB, but he doesn't elevate anyone.

His receiving numbers have been a lot better than solid which is why he was made the second highest paid WR in the league. CeeDee would have never gotten that contract playing with a lesser QB. Get real!

You’re the one who’s delusional thinking CeeDee is producing more with Rush and that he’s a better QB than Dak. You’re calling Dak the most expensive bust in NFL history and you’re calling me delusional? :laugh:
So you believe Dak is 58 million dollars better than rush ??
Cowboys renewing Dak for 50 or 60 million was better than signing more affordable and more effective such as Stafford 28 mil mil ( super bowl) , Mayfield for 11 million and then 33 million. ,and many others playing better for far less .?

The guy for the last several week is battling with an injury in his shoulder, yet he continues to put himself out there in harms way, and plays. He easily could have given up and sat out, but he continues to play. We know him to be a highly paid, but are we giving him enough respect for putting it all on the line in the season that we're in. Please give your thoughts
I thought football players equate the money they are paid with “respect”

In that case CD has received enough “respect”

But how many "lesser" QBs are there in the league?

You don't know that. You can only speculate on how things would have worked out for CeeDee if Dak wasn't present. However, my stance was born from years of evidence.

In fact, look at his 2024 stats with Dak vs with Rush. See a dropoff? I don't. Rush isn't as good as Dak, but clearly Lamb is still producing AND he's playing injured. There goes your argument. As far as getting real, you should probably think about doing that yourself. Dak doesn't elevate. He's pretty good, don't get me wrong (at least in the regular season), but he doesn't elevate or all of you Dak fans wouldn't be crying about Dak not having the weapons he needs.

I don’t respect Lamb for playing hurt. But I’d say it’s rare nowadays. He’s doing what he’s supposed to do. I have a bad knee but I still get up every morning and do home improvements.

I don’t have to speculate. All you have to do is look as his yards, catches and TDs during his 12 starts with Rush at QB since 2021. No way does he earn the huge contract he did with an average QB. You’re kidding yourself if you believe he would have.

No QB outside Mahomes is worth the money they’re being paid. Is Trevor Lawrence worth that much more than his backup? Is Justin Herbert worth the money he’s being paid? He’s one game over 500 as a starting QB. Trevor Lawrence has a losing QB record. You have to pay what the market says you have to pay if you want to keep a quality starting QB. The Cowboys would go nowhere over the long haul with Cooper Rush.

If he had left, i would have given him more respect.

he stays and wants to help a team that doesnt want a SB, thats ok too, but its just talent wasted. he can be a big fish in a small pond.

its great to watch him play but it wont add up to anything. he ll notice that too and we ll see what happens next.

Ceedee has definitely earned my respect. I had a bad a/c injury and it hurts like hell. He’s tough as nails and wants to win

I think we're giving him plenty of respect he didn't come to training camp
He and Dak weren't on the same page in the beginning of the season because of it
His pouting on the sideline when things are less than perfect makes me absolutely want to puke
He drops the ball an awful lot.

He maybe giving a good effort at the moment but we really could have used it in the Green Bay playoff game when it mattered instead of now when it just secures us a worse draft pick.

Okay he is playing hurt I did my landscaping work with four broken ribs and a broken collarbone in three places got surgery and continued working
Only missed the day I had surgery and worked with no pain medicine whatsoever for peanuts compared to what he's making.

For 30 million you better be able to tolerate some pain.

no ... dak is the reason the team loses all big games. dak is a grossly overpaid average game manager. Want proof? Cee Dee numbers jumped when Dak is away . Rush is paid 2 million a year , dak is paid 60 .!!!
Huh? I thought this was about Cee Dee? I see why SAS and others laugh at our fanbase.

We have the funniest fanbase in the league, hands down.
