You Are Fighting History By Extending Dak

Pay that man! M.V.B.

"who are we going to get to choke games away if we don't keep him"

If Jerry extends a guy who even he knows is not capable of preforming against solid NFL defenses he deserves to be the laughing stock of the NFL world.
Could be why Quinn wanted out. No chance of a super bowl here.

Hold on… you mean as a football savvy individual Jerry is not the laughingstock of the league now???

2nd Team All Pro is different. Never made that before.
You can deny facts. You can deny recognition.
You can defy reality.
But existence still exists despite your denials.

All he’s ever brought you is:

1. Being the worst playoff QB ever with at least 5 starts (2-5).

2. Leader of the first team ever to have three straight 12 win seasons and not make the conference championship.

3. Leader of the first team ever to lose to a 7 seed.

That’s your man.

Lol people arguing regular season stats

Did the fantasy football league get out early.

Unfortunately true analysis is rare these days.. far easier to put the basic stat page up and jump around sound stages all trying to outdo each other.

We be talking up Dak as MVP.. notice how his peers don't even think he is first team all pro.

Dakstans never want to talk about strength of schedule.. the fact that Dak statistically had one of the easiest schedules in history..
They never want to talk about the fact that Dak had the longest clean pockets in the league
They never want to talk about the fact that Dak scored the most 'short field' TDs in the league on the back of all pro interceptions and special teams

Stats can lie.. stats will tell you that we only lost by '2 scores' against GB.. stats will tell you that Dak put in a franchise best play off performance with 400 yards and 3 TDs.

Analysis the key here.. taking the time to look pass the pretty stats and media graphics and understand the game. Understand that a QB can play a perfect game and only get 190 yards.. but he made the throws that mattered and kept a clean sheet. We have become obsessed with stat lines.. without looking at the bigger picture.

This doesn't just apply to Dak.. Do we really thing that Purdy is a better QB than Burrows? The 'power rankings' will tell you he is.. and maybe he is.. or maybe Purdy is an upgraded version of Dak.. given a chance with a generational coach.. great team, great RB, solid receivers, amazing defence and hasn't looked back. How many guys could walk into SF right now and do what Purdy is doing? Do we really think Mr Irrelevant is the sole reason SF is winning?? The same in reverse.. we get so down on young QBs.. Young for example. They get drafted to **** teams.. no help.. straight to the wolves and then the media is all over them because they fail to put an entire franchise on their back. Baker Mayfield showing that sometimes the right opportunity is needed.

You are fighting history and you will lose. This isn't a Peyton Manning situation.. he isn't making championship games and falling to the GOAT. This isn't an Anderson situation where he Dak is literally waiting and killing time whilst a squad is built around him.

The only one that could be comparable is Matt Ryan. Ryan was pretty inconsistent for 7 seasons.. then had his MVP season and his shot at the SB and that was in his 9th season. I'd still argue that he went to a poor franchise and had to battle a lot harder than Dak from Day 1.

SO Dak would be absolutely making history in my mind if he turns this around.. 8 years as QB of a top 3 rated team.. multiple all pro linemen, multiple all pro receivers, multiple all pro RBs, multiple all pro TEs across every season.. Highly ranked coaches.. the whole works. In fact.. it just isn't going to happen.

Strength of schedule 3rd easiest in NFL, Strength of victory 2nd worst of any playoff team except the Dolphins (who beat us) We have to stop giving him so much credit for having big games against bad teams. That doesn't accomplish anything.

I don’t style point. A win is a win.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

What does it matter when he's choked in the playoffs the last three years? Are we happy with just regular season success? He's shown what he is when the pressure is highest. Believe him. We're never winning it all with him.

Ok.

Well you should keep the same energy when a loss is a loss but after losing to Green Bay and throwing 2 picks and getting down 27-0 at home here you are praising him.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

It may surprise a few but for me huge money extension is off the table, for now. Two options
** Keep him another year with no extension. The message would clear.....it's his final year as a Cowboy unless ....
** Offer a modest 2 year extension of $43-45M.

Where did I praise him?

 

[Jayinem]

Where did I praise him?

You said he had the best year of his career, then I pointed out how it was against marginal teams and you just shrugged it off "a win is a win" So not only did you praise him, you made an excuse for him.

 

[HMJYay]

The WORST QB you can have is a middle of the road QB paid like a top 5 QB. This doesn't allow you to be bad enough to get top draft talent, but hampers the team salary cap wise, where you'll never win it all.

Get out of this dumb Dak carrousel....it's always going to end the same way, disappointment.

Spot on. It's not that Dak is a bad QB. It's that he's an above average QB that wants to be paid like the best. You can't win against the better competition in this league with the formula. Heck Dak wasn't good enough to do it on a rookie contract. He wasn't good enough with the team having 9 all pro's and a defense that once again led the league in scoring and was near the top in turn overs. At some point you have to ask, what does the guy need to be able to do it? Anyone being a realist see's that it's pretty much not going to happen. Let's go with an unknown. Could it be worse? Sure could. But, guess what let's say it is. The Cowboys are still in this same situation. But, they are without 250 million contract around their waist and have a better pick in the draft.

it's time to go with a cheaper QB and build this team the right away. Away from the flash and the known and field a smash mouth team. Dak has been given such a long leash. I don't even know how Jerry can sell an extension.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

It’s over. Be bold. Send a message. Mediocrity will no longer be tolerated!

Not happening on the Clampetts watch.

I said he had the best year of his career in response to someone saying you typically don’t get better at 30. I replied well he did have his best year at 30. That his not praising him just point out a fact. If you want to argue sucks that’s fine. I’m not debating if he sucks or doesn’t. Not sure where you saw a excuse but ok lol.

If you just go by stats yes he had his best year, but there's this thing called context. Is it the exact same thing if you throw for 300 yards and 4 TDs against Carolina as it would be if you did the same thing against San Francisco? That is what I was pointing out to you, that he did it against bad teams. So did he really play above the Dak from the past or did we just have an easier schedule? Factually we had an easier schedule, our opponents had the 3rd worst winning percentages of any schedule.

But to you a win is just a win regardless of how good your opponent is.

But he’s always done it against bad teams lol. The year isn’t an anomaly. He beats bad defenses and suffers during good ones lol. Actually I’d say he probably best better teams this year then last.

I guess maybe im just brainwashed. I guess maybe I should give praise for beating the Vikings last year when they stink?

I dont know whay you continue to attempt but I applaud your efforts. I cant wait to watch the meltdown when dak gets extended. Myself Im indifferent on it. my concern is the defense more than dak. But he may need to play the regular season then bench him for the playoffs .Im joking but this team has far bigger issues than just the QB. Fans want their pound of flesh Im afraid they arent gonna get it

Well this thread is about moving on from Dak because we won't win a championship, something I agree with. You seem stuck on things like good stats against bad teams. That is the problem with our fanbase and Jerry, being afraid of the unknown.

I’ve given up man lol. Even in that post I wasn’t hyping Dak up but I get blamed for doing it. I said Dak sucks and we need to move on and had people still telling me it’s not enough lol. If I say Jerry is the issue I’m deflecting lol.
