Why nothing is on Dak and the offense

[plymkr]

I think fans that over scrutinize Dak is a response to the fans that make cases that nothing is on him.

 

[exciter]

Having something resembling a run game to help mitigate time of possession would help. Not waiting until the 4th quarter before getting out of the passive play calling and passive play.
Dak and the team in general need to actually win games not just go in with the confidence that they're going to win and it will work out. You've earned nothing.
Offense needs to play the whole game with urgency.
Pointless having 2 receivers of the caliber of Lamb and Pickens and play into the conservative ball control game plan the Giants and Buccaneers wanted to play!

the urban legend about Brady taking less is over done; he really did not take that much less. BUT he did, and the difference with the Pats also was they had a very competent FO that used that money well. If Dak had been the team player he claimed to be, he would have gotten Jethro to agree that for taking less, more would be spent on FA's at the areas of need.

Mostly he did not max out contracts. He was the highest paid QB in the game for a short time, but that one time contract got pushed down the road. Plus, that was before QBs were being paid 1/5th of the salary cap.

Only way I would take less from Jerry is if he agreed to step down as GM.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Depends on the situation. If a bit less means a super bowl, then I absolutely would take less.

Money is not everything. And we're not talking about the difference between 40 grand and 60 grand. You are unbelievably wealthy no matter which amount you get.

Now, would I take less from Jerry? W/ his bumbling inability to build a contender, no reason to.

I would take his first generational wealth contract, play it out, then transfer (trade) to a team more likely to win a super bowl.

The fact dak didnt do that, likely means he didnt want to win a super bowl over money...or....other teams think he cant. I think the former.

Spot on.

And the 2 sides spat incessantly. Makes this site less, and this is a great site.

Your wasting precious breath.

ONLY defense is to blame.

We franchised him, so he didn't have the choice to go to another team.

Can we just make this.....post of the year?

Dak can do what he wants

Teams who have scored 30 or more points 3 or more times this year:


8 teams

Lions (4 times)............ 3-2
49ers (3 times)............ 5-0
Bills (3 times).............. 4-1
Panthers (3 times)...... 2-2
Chiefs (3 times).......... 4-0
Ravens (3 times)........ 4-1
Seahawks (3 times).... 3-3
Cowboys (3 times)...... 2-3


We're the only team that's below .500....... altho 2-2 and 3-3 compared to 2-3 can change really fast and it's not a huge insurmountable lead.

But the issue is mostly the defense. You can pick at a few random offensive bad plays.... the Dak throwaway on 3rd and goal, and the Ferguson tipped ball INT...... but a few bad offensive plays compared to like 100 bad defensive plays..... the defense carries the far greater blame.

If we scored 30 or more 3 times in 5 games........ our record should be 3-2 case closed. The only one who has scored 30+ more than 3 times is the Lions.

Remember what happened in 2023? I'll tell you.

Dallas Cowboys — 2023 home record​

WIN–LOSS

8–0​

POINT DIFFERENTIAL

+172​

AVG. VICTORY MARGIN

21.5​

Regular season only. Dallas was undefeated at AT&T Stadium and set a franchise record for home point differential.

All eight home games​

Date	Opponent	Score	Margin
Sep 17	NY Jets	30–10	+20
Oct 1	New England	38–3	+35
Oct 29	LA Rams	43–20	+23
Nov 12	NY Giants	49–17	+32
Nov 23	Washington	45–10	+35
Nov 30	Seattle	41–35	+6
Dec 10	Philadelphia	33–13	+20
Dec 30	Detroit	20–19	+1
Total	8–0	299–127	+172

What happened at home in the wild card round vs. the Packers that year? They got smoked. 27-0 by the second quarter. 48 - 32 final score that wasn't as close as it appeared.

I'm not buying any of this at present. Five games into the 2023 season they were averaging 124 yds/game on the ground. Five games into 2026 they are averaging only 81 yds/game, which is one of the reasons why they bogged down against the Bucs.

This team continues to NOT do the very thing they need to do to make the offense more sturdy.

the question is Can't or Won't

 

[Rockport]

The defense stopped henry and gave the offense a chance ( not the first time in that game!)to win or make it very difficult to lose.

Our offense cheesed out and threw the ball into the stands in 2 seconds.

I dont expect perfection....but i dont expect them to be cowards either.

Haters gonna hate. They can’t help themselves. Even to the point of looking silly like blaming the losses on the offense.

 

[SpaceCowboy99]

Tom Brady already made his money. He spent like 17, 18 years in the NFL before signing with the Bucs on the "cheap". Made $245 million as a Patriot and that does not count endorsement deals, etc. off the field. Made another $87 million in Tampa.

Dak got his two big contracts and any future deal, no matter where it is, won't approach the current value of what he gets now.

Misinformed much? He always took deals even in the earlier years with the patriots. I think he was only the highest paid QB briefly for like 3 months of his career.

 

[SpaceCowboy99]

There is no denying it. Dak is paid waaaaaaay too much. I've said it since before his first contract.

As good as a business man Jerry thinks he is. He continually screws himself by over paying for mediocre talent. Dak is one of them.
