No matter what, I’m a big fan of this forum and the great fans who post here. So this isn’t a huge deal for me but I am a bit mystified...A few weeks ago I proposed we add a Dak Prescott forum to house the seemingly endless number of Dak threads, similar to the one created for Tony Romo on the old Cowboys team site forum. There were so many Romo threads, it was just overwhelming, and fans were getting vicious to each other. So a Romo sub-forum was created.
One of the most common responses to that proposal I made was “It won’t be needed. It will all be over after the July 15 deadline”. Well that deadline has passed nearly two weeks ago and as I write this, there are are at least 16 Dak threads on the front page this forum this evening.
But it’s not just the Dak threads. Even threads that aren’t intended to be about Dak seem to often veer off into the dreaded “us vs them” camps that have started dividing us as fans. It’s ok to love or hate Dak. This is an opinion forum and a variety of opinions are what makes this place fun. But the vitriol for fellow Cowboys fans I’ve seen lately is just crazy. We’re Cowboys fans for god’s sake, not e-girls fans.
I’m hoping we all choose one of these two options to make this place better as we near the season to help us avoid the cut throat attitudes we have been getting so often:

- We stop waging war on each other based on a fan’s opinion about Dak. It’s ok to love him, hate him and everything in between. But the constant drum beat to ostracize each other based on that opinion is getting over the top. Can we save the venom for Filly fans? Or Daniel Snyder? Instead of each other?
- If not, let’s create a Dak Prescott forum to keep the front page from becoming all we talk about.
