We are 12-18-1 since Dak got that contract extension

[WillieBeamen]

Its now clear as day that it was a bad decision to not move on from him after 2024. The cascading events that occurred have set this franchise back at least 5 years.

9/8/24: Dak signs 4 year contract extension through 2029

1/24/25: Cowboys hire Brian Schottenheimer mostly because the QB campaigned for it and the reluctance to change systems for a 9 year vet

1/28/25: Cowboys hire Matt Eberflus to be DC which lead to one of the worst defenses to ever play for this franchise

7-9-1 season

1/22/2026: Schottenheimer hand picks Christian Parker. A 34 year old passing game coordinator that never called a defense on any level and was tasked with transforming the worst D in franchise history.

We were better off letting Dak play out the 2024 season and letting him go (or trade) and start a true rebuild. These losses and performances would be a lot more palatable if there wasnt this fantasy that this was a team in win-now mode.

One of the Woat decisions in the jerry jones era

Tagging Dak was an epically bad decision. We said it back in the day and it's still true today.

 

[stilltheguru]

He said he alone guarantees playoff appearances though. This will be back to back years of that being a lie

 

[Zordon]

His best chance at a title was 2016.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Jerry couldn't be more proud of the decision we made to lock up such a special QB!!! Yeah right, we act like there's no other QB on earth to come in here and throw balls, admit you made a mistake and it's time to start grooming someone else

 

[MikeT22]

Dak has never been the answer.

This is why I was against the extension. The cowboys weren’t in win now mode when they signed him. They were soft tanking. Extending him made zero sense. They should have done a full tank and rebuilt the entire thing from the ground up.

3 seasons wasted and they have minimal assets in the draft next year. It’s ugly as hell.

 

[shabazz]

Eberflus has to take some of the blame here.....

 

[nate dizzle]

If you’re gonna pay your QB elite money, you better make sure they're elite so they can make up for the other corners you need to cut.

 

[visionary]

Been saying it for years

Dak cant get it done without a top 5 run game and a top 10 defense and you cant build this paying 120 million to 3 offensive players

The worst decision in the NFL is paying an average QB elite money

And to do it twice? LOL

Yup, and now he's regressed. He looks BAD this season. He's missing wide open WRs. He's not taking shots down field. And you watch that Pickens doesn't start turning on Dak. He's on a tag year. Imo, we need to trade Pickens and get as many picks as we can.

 

[leeblair]

If you put pressure on Dak he will fold.
If the referees hadn't carried him he would have one more interception tonight and one less touchdown pass.
Dak's career has been saved multiple times with bogus roughing the passer penalties that kept the Cowboys in games.
But now the teams know; if they put pressure on Dak he can't function.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

My ONLY concern is that I think Jerry's going to draft Archie and market him as the replacement.

 

[RS12]

Cee Dee fell down on the second pick but his first one was like most of the ones he throws. Late across the middle and where the defense has numbers. The inevitable happens and he always looks shocked, Its as predictable as the tides and an incredibly tired act.

 

[StylisticS]

Year 3

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Missing Mike McCarthy

Any real organization would have moved on after 2023. But Jerry was all in.

Technically he also said that we will see the Rams at the NFCC game. That was partially true.

 

[Playmaker3128]

He's taking up 1/4 of your cap. You need him to be elite every week. he isn't. Draft a qb next year. Give dak one more go at it. But to extend him beyond that would be dumb by this organization
