Why do people insist on cutting Dak?

There are some that believe if the plan is to start Trey why not cut Dak and commit. I say why? Why cut Dak? They are paying him any way.

He wants a new contract if it is with Dallas or any other team. He will be forced to play the best football of his life and I am not talking implementing the new scheme to get Lamb open. I am talking about spreading the ball around and putting this team on His back. (I do not believe he is capable of it but maybe he will surprise me) Win

If Dak comes out and lays an egg like he did to begin last season I think He gets the Hook. Even then he would make a great back up and if He does get His Job back. He will have incentive to play his heart out because no one is gonna pay a QB that can't keep his job

Keeping Dak even if the plan is to go with lance in a rebuild is a win win

Besides, all of these years of tears will be quenched watching Dak hold the clip board with a Poopy face
Oh let's see.....

The guy is a mental case....
The guy is a bad influence...
He's not a good football player...
He's not a role model that I want my kids to follow.

He's everything I don't want to see in society....

That about sums it up. :popcorn:

The CAP can always be manipulated. Philly does it with every contract they write. If a team really wanted a player they can make it happen most of the time. If Dak thought the Cowboys were ready to move on and a team was willing to go ahead and give him a new contract then I believe he may have been open to a trade. It's all speculation at this point and no one really knows. My comment was more about the timing of the trade. The poster was mentioning trading Dak now. I was commenting that if they really wanted to trade him then this should have been done prior to the draft or considered prior to the draft. There are a lot less teams QB needy after the draft. I never said that Dak was willing to be traded or that another team even wanted Dak. My comment was purely based on the right time to consider the trade. If Dallas was really ready to move on from Dak then the possible trade should have been discussed prior to the new league year (prior to free agency).

Btw, I still think Jerry works out a contract with Dak. Jerry is afraid of starting completely over. That's why McCarthy still has a job today.
This franchise has accepted the fact that they have to eat the cap on Dak.
Dak gets a season left here and then the Jones boys can eat the heavy cap hit, but does not cost them a penny.

No trade was going to happen as Dak wouldn't pick up the lost money. With a NTC and potential to lose $29m Dak would of nixed them.
So explain how a one year deal could be manipulated on a one year deal?
You need to look at this holistically, rather than with one eye closed....there are so many moving parts and the main player, DAK, won't do anything until June (as he'd likely get cut and nobody's making up the lost $29m in 2024).

An obvious and easy example of that is the cd int against gb. Panic no thinking whatsoever.

I am sure there are more subtle examples that very much effect our offense
And why I coined the Dak is Deer in Headlights under any pressure,,, I wont post the pics any longer, everyone has already seen them and grabbed them, but the Dak stare was obvious to anyone that could identify total dysfunction... Dak has shown that ability time and time again, give Dak a challenge and he fails every time.

I'll go with that, however, for me it still comes down to the 'elephant in the room' in that whilst Dak (the better QB) he has that 'break-down' psyche when under pressure......so it doesnt matter what happens around him (or roster wise), if he's going missing when things go wrong and clocks ticking.

No QB gets an armchair ride through the play-offs..... but in the SB Winning play-off run Stafford had 3 games with '2 minute offense' drives that wom the game.

If the negative on Dak (and to be fair every QB has them) was easily remedied by coaching or roster help yep he may be able to maintain performance into the mid 30's, but he's shown (in three Play-off loses), he struggles with the pressure.
all I am saying is Stafford was a "loser" for 12 seasons.... until he wasnt. What Dak will ultimately do.... I havent a clue.

Well that's fair, but did Stafford have a specfic weakness that contributed to him being a "loser"?
The problem in Dak's case is that there's a specific hole in his make-up that won't be overcome by him taking a bigger slice of the cake.
Strangely enough if you use Stafford as a possible comparison, then Dak may have to follow his example and get a fresh start.

we try to make it so black and white. Dak stinks and thats why he whasnt and wont win a SB.

Dan Fouts was a loser his entire career.... I guess, no?
Marino ....loser.
Jim Kelly... guy just never could get over that hill.

But that Trent Dilfer guy....... damn he was clutch. :lmao:

Unless one of the O-line draftees is a 'QB-Whisperer', then it's pretty immaterial. The O-Line wasnt the problem vrs GB .

They are building the O-Line to give the protection to the rookie in 2025 (ala Dak in 2016).
Just like Dak was going to get traded right?

You still believe he will be benched, don't ya?

Hahaha.

Comparing Eras related to QBs is like trying to compare complete polar extremes, the QBs of yesterday played with different rules.
Aikman would have loved this era.

Now this I completely agree with.... but I was not comparing skill level.

Different situation though. Rams really did go all in. Dak won't ever make it on a mediocre team since he's mediocre himself. And you'll never win a championship that way. At least one pillar has to be able to carry the house.

Actually they didn't since they never beat big ones. Oh wait, got Detroit by a weird move and got Philly when they were already falling to pieces.

You stats people really need to stop distorting reality. We didn't have crap.

Not in the playoffs. Regular season does not count.

How do you think a top defense and top offense are determined? BY STATS... holy crap some of you beat your head into a wall for the sake of it. FACT is Dallas had a TOP DEFENSE and OFFENSE last year.

I dont care they disappeared against the Bills, and the Niners... fact is fact, you dont get to make up you alternative fact BS.
