To be clear, it is a team sport. It takes more than a Bob Lilly or Randy White to get to a Super Bowl. Let's not forget those players co-existed with Staubach and Hayes.
Dak is not asking for too much money. Look at what other QBs are making with a similar career passer rating. $35-38M is the going rate. It's the cost of business that the team must absorb to progress. There is no reason that cost should prevent the Cowboys from getting their next great defensive player. That is an irrational fear that happens when you do not understand how good our cap space situation is. The answer to your original question is not relevant to the Cowboys. It suggests paying Dak is crossing the Rubicon, the point of no return.
I didnt say Dak was asking for too much all QBs ask for what the market will tolerate and they all get paid what I have noticed is after that happens those teams have a difficult time winning a SB so my question
What is irrational is spending top money on the Oline and doing a great job assembling it only to completely drop the ball when assembling the Dline Dope Heads , Mentally weak guys and a washed up Dline coach that makes us squander a top pick .
Lets be clear Im not saying what ever they pay Dak is going to stop us from getting our next great defensive player anymore than the fact we have not been able to draft great players . I am saying a guy that costs 650k to play QB is an incredible bargain that should afford you the luxury to stack your roster with talent and IF COACHED PROPERLY contend and win a SB If suddenly the price goes to even 30 mil can you still fill your roster with the same amount of talent to make you competitive or dose it change things .
Yes they co- existed and complimented each other, Troy had Charles Haley on the other side of the ball to help his cause . What have we given Dak The freakin Hot Boyz please they might as well be the piss boys compared to Doomsday .
Since you understand the cap can we pay Zeke ,Dak , Amari, Byron, and all the rest while adding some FAs like we did Haley and Sanders to get us over the top .
While you at it do we have enough to fix special teams . Do we depend on Kai Forbath and blow another season with the most missed FGs
