The Sound Of Silence

[Staubacher]

It's a reach to think that the organization has turned it's back on Dak. You don't know what is talked about internally. If you're expecting this mass of players to come out publicly and start throwing other players under the bus, you're going to be disappointed. There's not a player on this team that played well enough in the game to blame any other player.

I'm not making excuses for Dak, he did not play well in the playoff game. You know what? The entire team did not play well in the playoff game. You can go down the list of the entire team, Dak included, and find blame for that loss to the Packers. Did Dak choke? yep. Did the coaches choke? yep. Did the rest of the team choke? Yep

This notion that Dak is somehow on this isolated island within the organization is a total reach. Truth is, the guy was playing at an MVP level going into the playoffs.

For the umpteenth time. It's a culmination of Dak spitting the bit in multiple playoffs. This was just the latest example. You know that.

What you're saying is true, there's plenty of blame to go around, but again, that begs the question of where all these other people are that failed at their job and why are they not sticking up for the one guy that is taking all of the heat in their stead.

Where are the players and coaches coming out and saying stop putting it all on 1 person we all sucked? Unless, of course, they don't really feel that way. Feels to me like they are all just fine with one man taking all the blame.

You don't think that feels at all like an organization that doesn't support the player?

It is the players time off. Time to be with their families. Take trips, or do nothing. Why should they be talking to the media.
Dang, let them be. I am sure once FA rolls around, there will be some comments. Probably all the normal cliches'.

No one turned their back on anyone just becasue they have not said what you want them to say.
Just another bash Dak thread IMO.

Front 3 or 4 pages now loaded with this type of stuff.

And rightfully so, I hope more threads pop up bashing him

Oh they will.
mostly because some fans do nothing but talk about Dak. They are obsessed. I never see them discuss anything else about the team.

It's the most important position on the team, what you expect?

Since 2016 some of us have been bullied, verbally abused, and insulted constantly and they deserve every once of vindication when it pertains to the primary reason we have wasted not 1 but 2 talented rosters for the Love of Dak.
Would I prefer to have Dak have make me eat crow...........you bet..........he couldn't........THE END.
Next Please and ASAP!!!

How about some general football / team talk (positive and negative, though not a lot of positives right now) not constant Dak. There are 3 pages of it, and more started saying the exact same things. /as posters say the exact same thing ad nauseam.

Some variety would be nice, other than Dak and Jerry.
Where is the outrage that Rowdy is the real curse.

I made a thread a couple days ago about Mazi...I don't make a lot of threads here.

Patently false. If you don't wanna see Dak bashing don't go on Dak threads.

 

[Captain-Crash]

I support the crap out of that loser choker. I'd support getting a Uhaul to take his crap out of the locker room, I'd support him moving to another team. I'd support his stalker fans on their move to a new forum.

I'd support him.

It is not I don't want to see them, I just would like to see other topics as well.
Some fans have tunnel vision.

I'm looking at the top 20 threads right now - 6 are about Dak.

Isn't that roughly his cap hit %?

It has now been nearly 3 weeks since our implosion in the WC game. 3 weeks of Dak getting absolutely annihilated in the press and on social media by everyone and, literally, their mother.

There has been nothing but silence. For someone who is supposedly a great leader, the players who supposedly are the ones that follow this leader, have said nothing to support him. His offensive linemen, silence. WRs? Silence. Ferguson? Silence. Pollard? Silence. Defense? Silence. Coaches? Silence. Ownership? Not so thinly veiled shots across the bow, "we'll go as far as Dak takes us, and that's how far we went."

This entire organization has turned its back on Dak. Honestly, and this is coming from a Dak "hater," I feel kind of bad for the guy. It's not like he doesn't try hard or put in the work to be successful, he just isn't that guy and never will be. The choke glitch is mental and no amount of extra practice or film watching is going to fix that.

That said, he does work hard, but he has lost the locker room and organizational support. He should ask for a trade just based on what he should be viewing as the team sticking a knife in his back.

He literally just had his first kid or is about to have his first kid. I dont think he gives a rats behind, but I think they don't speak on him cause they have enough respect for him to address him directly.

We can only hope that the potential 59 Million next season will cheer him up.

I hope he can bear it

I agree, nobody is scared of dak on the team, they saw him throw hands in Panama and that was similar to his playoff performance.

 

[LonnieElam]

I'll never feel bad for anyone with the kind of money Dak has. I don't care what they've been through.

Personally I don't care if Dak got the money. Jerry was stupid enough to give it to him and give him whatever he wanted in that negotiation all based on "feels." And if Jerry was dumb enough to do that Dak was smart enough to pick and agent who bent Jerry over for it. Good for him.

Read through them, inevitably many comments about Dak in the others as well.
I don't get into the cap stuff, so I have no idea what % he takes up. All I know it is way too much. And unfortunate it will stay that way.

I get it but all the money in the world will never fix the fact that his legacy will be as a choker in his lifes work.

If it was me. I'd give half of all that money to have gotten a Lombardi and succeeded in my life's work.

Money wise, he was set for life 3 years ago.....the rest is just fluff

Yep can't hold it against Dak I mean it's like he won the Powerball lottery so good for him.
Now can he take all those riches have a great life and get the heck out of Dallas so maybe we can win SB # 6 with a really qualified non-choking QB!!!!
