There is one thing I hope Jerry and Stephen understand

[ArtClink]

And it's that if Dak goes unsigned, there will be no revolt by the blind sheep that file into AT&T in lockstep. However, there are many of us that have been apathetic for 10 + years who ARE JUST WAITING FOR AN EXCUSE to pursue other interests and finally put this three decade S show in our rear view mirrors. Go ahead and sign him, and see what happens. I just found out over the weekend that we play Cleveland....there was a day when I'd already have the first six games on our schedule memorized.....home and away.

A three decade s show tends to have an affect on a loyal fanbase. Some love to call it “haters” when it is simply Jones fatigue of the highest order. Lather, rinse, repeat with no end in sight.

After three decades of this same old crap if you haven’t found an excuse to jump ship, I got bad news for you . You are hooked and addicted.

This dude (OP) posts 3-4 threads a season saying he's fed up with the team and leaving but as can see, he ALWAYS comes back.......odd behavior.

We're already getting a taste of it by the tiny audience at TC.

You’re a casual. Who cares? You not knowing who we play says enough to the fans around here who eat and sleep Cowboys football. Jerry doesn’t make his money off people like you. You have the games memorized, what’s that mean? Were you going to games or just looking at schedules? Why are you waiting? What’s stopping you? You think signing Dak or it signing Dak means anything is going to change?

30 years and you call him a casual? Are you mad?

Not sure if apathy is the correct word here. I'd say I am more just jaded and bored. and also a glutton for punishment because I continue to hang around here. If I ever move to warmer state, that may change because then I can ride my Harley all year round. for now, I have nothing going on but projects on my bike and my honey do list so I'll have the games in the background at a minimum. I love the wins but I have to expect the collapse at some point during the season. Oh well...

This is the last chance for the Cowboys for me, and I'm not even sure it will matter if they do well this season.
Thirteen years of watching Jason Garrett be coddled by Jerry and then keeping Prescott (Garrett 2.0) for eight seasons has about finished me off as a fan.
Not to mention certain obvious things going on in the NFL that makes it look more like the WWF than a sports league. Watching Darrick Barnes whiff on purpose last season when he had Dak for a safety- instead the play turned into a 92 yard touchdown pass - that kept the crowd happy on Jimmy Johnson's Ring of Honor induction makes it look all too much like a rigged league.
So I am barely hanging to the hope that the Cowboys could return to being the franchise I once loved. But, just barely.

I second this

Yep, I am not sacrificing time with my family and making other concessions with my schedule to make watching the Cowboys a priority anymore.
Jerry has finally broken me.

You're not apathetic.

You can still care, I do.
I am just not nearly as enthusiastic as I have been in the past.

Go away. You've said this 5000 times

Try and follow me here.

If they don't re-sign Dak,
It maybe a sign Jerry has turned the page on old Jerry.

It is a reason for hope, IMO
If this were old Jerry, he'd have tripled down and extended Dak a year ago, dooming the franchise for another 5 years. He'd be still trying to find that ultimate weapon/offense for Dak to achieve playoff success.

Right now I see a new HC, and high pick QB coming, and I'd trade Parsons to make that happen.

Finally a brighter future than the past 20 years.
Somebody got into Jerry's ear last year and made a impression.
Thank God!

We hope, what we know about this team, anything can happen in Jerry's emotional feelings

very very true

Whoever the QB of the Cowboys is. After 9 years the only ones who do not already own a Dak Jersey are the Migrants flooding the borders. I believe after they pay tour rent, food, and cash stipend they throw in a Cowboys Jersey

what!?

You can live with @Rockport in Hawaii so long as you can put up with his moodiness and keyboard banging when he gets upset with what he reads on these boards.

That's where I'm at. This has been the worst year I've ever had as a fan, and for the first time, I'm just feeling 'meh' about the upcoming season. That Green Bay game drained the last bit of enthusiasm I had, and the off-season changes weren't enough to get me excited again.
