Tyron Smith thanks Dak Prescott for being his QB1 and a friend

[MarcusRock]

That's not even close to what he said or what he meant. At no point did he belittle any of those professions you named. He simply said to all of those making fun of Tyron's statements, or making light of his accomplishments, let's see how you've done or what you've achieved in your chosen profession. But, by all means, take it and spin it anyway you like. It seems to be what many posters here do best.

Ain't no spin like virtue signaling spin. Some of these folks have an untapped career in the media they imitate.

I just...
so many of you, who have won nothing of any significance on this level, holler so loudly over a man who has had an outstanding career at the pinnacle of what he does.

I don't get it.
I just don't get it.

Let's see your rings.
Let's see what you have done.

Maybe we can weigh that. Maybe we can see how far you've gone in respect to him and what he's done.

Its funny.

You can see the people on this board who have never competed in a team sport at a high level and the ones that have. Its blatantly obvious.

No respect to the player who is retiring, just hurling insults and making light of it.

What a joke this fanbase can be.

Now the players wasted their own talent the coaches are to blame the players are to blame you can't blame the owner and the GM when he put these players in positions to at least be good enough to win a division get in the playoffs be a number two seed at home and then get dominated..

Over the years we're talking about a lot of Hall of Fame players a lot of Pro Bowlers a lot of all pros on this team and they didn't get it done and you're blaming the GM and owner he could take some of the blame but I'm tired of this narrative jerry did not waste their careers they starting the contracts they stayed they knew what was coming and there are hundreds if not very high hundreds of players all around sports that don't win rings please shoot.

They literally don't all play for the Dallas Cowboys under Jerry Jones... I want to know how players mindset is look at what happened with Miles Garrett claiming he didn't want to be on a losing team anymore he wanted to be traded but they offered him $40 million he took it. HE chose to STAY.

I admire your dedication and loyalty to the team, but (brace yourself for another one of those narratives) it's been almost 30 years since the Cowboys have sniffed an NFC Championship Game. It's a very weak argument to say that the thousands of players that have walked through the door are losers and are just here for the money. Moreover it was the FO's decision to sign and draft them, therefore a weak argument on both fronts if you're trying to protect Jerry Jones and the FO team.

Don't get me wrong, I still support the team and always will, but apathy has set in. I welcome a return to glory, but I'm certainly not expecting it.

I don’t even know if that’s an excuse. You see someone retire in any field there typically a different energy but these people are different. They are anonymous on this site. If imagine in person they’d have less vigor.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Good teammate, stinks on the field. He should be blaming Dak (and Jerry) for never reaching a super bowl.

LOL.......your negativity has no boundaries, which is interesting with a military background.

 

[Proof]

Sad a player of his caliber never got a SB ring.

right. one of the greatest at his position, awesome human being, just a good guy, and so easy to root for. bummer.

people here are pretty insufferable. as a fan it's been rough, and i'm disappointed of course, but there's plenty of opportunity to complain.

i mean that's blatantly obvious. it's quite a few folks here that are waaaaaaay too comfortable behind a keyboard

 

[Proof]

that's the obvious..I am not talking $$$$

right. but it's pretty important context. i'd love to have seen Tyron win a ring. As much as anybody. But my heart can only weep so much lol.

 

[The Natural]

It's sad to see these all-timers hang it up with no hardware

 

[Proof]

Really thought we had the making of an offensive juggernaught with Tyron, Zack, TFred, and Zeke and Dak that first year. If you had told me then the team would never sniff an NFC Championship I would have said you’re crazy. Everyone hopefully appreciated Tyron a lot more after watching last season. Dominant LTs don’t grow on trees. True physical freak and monster of a man.

losing T Fred was a much bigger domino than I'd have imagined in the moment. Really sucks. What a special unit

 

[Proof]

Did Dak help him get some lucrative ad deals or why is he praising him so much?

I mean its your presser. I know how this works. But come on. You dont need to exaggregate that way. We all know who Dak is. And for sure he is not what you are trying to tell us.

This is not even a nice try anymore. Thats too much of an obvious lie it will fire back.

true, the player retiring, with no incentive, no longer even on the team, and who played with multiple qb's, took the opportunity to lie for the sake of it for one specific player. sounds likely

Its the way it works.

 

[Proof]

Interesting.

Why would you be "shocked"? Are selflessness and courage such foreign concepts to you that you can't possibly understand how anyone else could possess those characteristics?

can't answer for him, but for me a gut feeling based on the perception of a lot of bozo's here. they either don't carry themselves the way i'd expect noble professions to, or don't loudly proclaim it like a certain former soldier who couldn't help but interject it into every conversation.

 

[Vtwin]

No what I’m saying is I highly doubt someone who thinks suicide is funny and hatred are acts of people in those fields. Though it may be. I’m just willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’ve seen Pappys twitter…..he doesn’t strike me as a serviceman with something to lose.

What on earth are you talking about? Suicide? Pappy?

Shabazz made a general reference comparing the way people idolize a professional athlete while not giving the same respect to the regular folk who perform much more important functions on a day to day basis over a lifetime for far less compensation in a far more selfless and courageous fashion.

You dumb that down to a single dubious claim about laughing at suicide, and one single person who hasn't even been around.

Here, have a carrot.

 

[TwentyOne]

What’s his incentive to lie for though? I didn’t think he said anything most guys wouldn’t say for their friend. I would think he has an idea of what type of friend Dak is as oppose to any of us.

I just dont believe that a guy like tyron would have dak as a friend.

His incentive? Thats the way people behave in the media. They lie. Thats whats expected. They actually have lessons to learn how to do it the right way.

Thats the way the system works.

It is. It’s what comes with the internet. Not shocked.

Why don’t you believe he would lol? I’m so confused even as fans his biggest detractors don’t like him because he “sucks”. It’s never been because he’s a scum bag or anything.

So what exactly do you think the lie is? Tyron doesn’t speak much.

that's a really weird and kinda said position to hold.

Maybe you forgot what you asked me….

You asked me why would I be shocked and I answered you. If you didn’t like the answer I don’t know what to tell you. You seem to be confused somehow.
