he got paid because we had no other option.
our gm has failed miserably in creating competition at the most important position...failed to build depth.
he doesn't know how.
at one time...coach landry's qb room had meredith...morton and staubach.
that doesn't just happen.
that was purposed.
competition breeds success.
our gm does not know how to do that.
or care.

Well you've never seen me "apportion" any blame away from Dak. What you HAVE seen me do, is blame Dak as well as the rest of the team.

Our team has led the league in penalties three straight years. How many of those penalties were on Dak? We can say he contributed to SOME penalties but definitely not all of them.

How many times did our defense make bone headed plays or get gashed on the ground for between 150 and 200 yards? Last time I checked, Dak doesn't play defense.

With all of that said, YES Dak does deserve his fair share of blame. But it you just started following football this season and came to this forum, you would believe all the team's failures are solely because of Dak, based on what is posted here.

That's not the truth at all.

Now as far as stats. We're them or not count them. All that cherry picking stats for this or that person is nonsense. Stats either matter or they don't. Last time I've checked, stats matter very much and I've posted many reasons why.

As per EVERY Dak First fan, mention how fair they are about apportioning blame on Dak (usually within a sentence) and then deflect to EVERYTHING ELSE.

Stats, OK, just go to his Regular vrs Post Season stats MVP votes mean nothing, if you go into the play-offs throw 2 Ints and go straight to Deer in Headlight mode (that stat is easy to calculate, pretty much ever time he's behind and clock ticking) ....and make sure you go to his Splits when trailing with 3 mins left, they are the biggest differential between him and his contemporaries: Cousins, Goff and Stafford

No, Jerry had the option to let him play out the contract in 2024 and pay him based on how he played....but of course Jerry panicked and made the wrong decision AGAIN. Overpaid and now probably wishes he had, as his bargaining power would infinitely better than it was in the Summer.... ok Dak if you fancy LV, NE or NY, off you go.

Dak cannot handle high pressure situations. It’s as simple as that. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but after Green Bay playoff game that was it. You can go on about the defense but that doesn’t change his total melt down ....

Yep, that's it in a nutshell, it's the paradox, Dak is only good when he has a complete roster, and you can't build that roster when you're pay him (and his WR1) a third of the CAP.
Add in the fact he blows up under pressure on such a regular basis (especially when against a decent Defense that can play to the Dak Blueprint l) and it's game over.

Well yes, but it's not either/or it's Jerry and take Dak with you as at the moment that contract is his biggest mistake.
Play out 2025, fail, cut Dak in 2026 and employ a GM (that has full automomy). I'd imagine the GM would cut Dak, or at least tell him he'll be benched and ask him to waiver his NTC, but I doubt it's worth his while.

There were plenty of options.

Straight from Cam Newton's 4th and 1.....

Before the season started and QB evals were being done Dak v. other players, notably this one.

We're comparing Dak to another QB with similar stats over their last 50 starts. That's over 3 years' worth of stats. Remember, this was before the season started. Here we go:

Dak Other QB
W/L 33-17 36-14 practically a wash
Pass TDs 105 105
INTs 38 39
Pass Rtg 101.3 98.9
Yds/Att 7.6 7.5
Comp % 68.4 66.8


Many of you know where this is going, though some may not. The other quarterback's stats are those of Patrick Mahomes.

A QB's legacy is built in the post-season, and I won't argue with that. I will argue that PM had better offenses every year, while we were supposed to have a better defense than KC.

Point the finger wherever you want, but the stats don't lie. Football is a 22 man game, and I'd argue that Dak was doing his job. Like him, don't like him, I don't care. Just remember that there are very few QBs that match up to him that also happen to be available.

Somehow Mahomes has always had a running game. Going into this season, it was obvious that we had problems at the RB position, and that was a killer.

Food for thought as we head into the off-season and begin building our team for next year.

Until next year......

(formatted this right before I posted. It's whack once I hit post)

Mahomes versus good to elite defenses gets the job done time and time again. Dak does not and it isn’t even close. I mean, Dak is far more likely to ish the bed against good defenses than even just be average. This is the difference that substantively matters and why he’s not worth what Dallas paid.
