Video: You don't know what you have until it's gone

[bigE79]

Someone pointed out Dak's record against teams with a winning record, and it wasn't good.
Not all his fault, but since you brought up Dak....
Know what I mean, Vern?

And winning on the rd.

 

[bigE79]

People are still talking crap about Dak. If you can't see how much better of a team this is with Dak then you do not watch the games. We are not drafting a QB in the 1st round. We are not signing a new QB to compete with Dak and we are not trading Dak. Dak will be our QB in 2021. And those saying he was 1-3. It was still early in the season. What have we done since? Alright.

The same thing we were doing with Dak...losing

 

[Swagger]

The difference between Romo and Dak is that Romo had a horrible defense, no running game, and retread WR's most of his career and was blamed when he wasn't able to pull out a win. See those people blaming him for a loss in which our defense gave up 50+ points. With Dak, for a majority of his career he has had a leading rusher, top-tier WR's, and a less than mediocre defense. However, in some people's eyes he can't be blamed for anything. If you say things that aren't even bad about Dak like "he's an average QB" or "He wants more money than his play dictates" you get smahed by the pro-Dak crowed and get labeled as "having an agenda". These are usually the same people who crapped on Romo. So, I'll say it again, "Dak is an average QB who has shown no reason he should be among the highest paid QB's in the league." I hope we draft a QB with one of our top picks so we don't become one of those teams that's just average each year. That's the one bad thing you can say about Romo. He kept us good enough to avoid getting talent at the top of the draft.

True story.

 

[bigE79]

Romo was asked to do too much. As good as he was he wasn't good enough to overcome all of the obstacles.

Dak, a much less skilled player than Romo, will be asked to carry the team as well and if the start of the season is any indicator then he also isn't good enough to get paid like he is as well as carry a roster to hopefully a CHAMPIONSHIP.

It's not a knock against Dak because even the truly elite guys who are incredible struggle to win after getting a huge cap consuming contract.

I think Dak is a good solid player and should be paid like it. Unfortunately this team killing QB market has spoiled him into thinking "I don't suck so pay me all the money cause i'm the next man up".. I don't blame him for that but as a Cowboy fan all I care about is watching my team hold up a Lombardi trophy again and I don't think we can do that by just being the fighting Dak Prescott's.

Anyone who say Romo had what Dak has is a joke and should be ignored..The best wrs Romo ever had was nut job TO and Dez..he made austin, robinson,hurd ,craton, williams, beasley,hurns ,harris,holley and ogletree serviceable, and when they left here they were done...once tony went down,all of a sudden, those guys that were left all forget how to play football all of a sudden..which led us to trade for cooper,draft gallup and use a 1 on lamb..fact,Dak has not made even 1 average wr look better then he is..and we all saw what happened before we had to trade a 1 for cooper..Dak wouldn't even be in the league if he had to have the receivers tony had.

Dak wouldn't even be in the league if he had to have the receivers tony had.

Hence the question - do you pay a guy that has the limitations of a Dak Prescott the same as a Patrick Mahomes? Do you even pay him like Deshaun and Lamar? I personally don't think he is anywhere in that category - he is about as good as Goff - and we all agree that Goff is overpaid. Why then would you overpay for Dak? Because some market value for QB? What a dumb reason. Spend the money on offensive line and defensive line instead.

 

[JoeKing]

Dak logic is simply insane at best.

Ok there Dak-Zoid where is Dak when the opposing teams score?
Why does it take him till we're down by 20+ to start moving the ball?
Why can't he beat teams with winning records and resorts to beating dog teams like the Giants and D.C. for the last 4 years?
I await the Spring to run you and all the Dak zoids out of town!!!!!

I think I already told you your Dak hating ways are embarrassing to the other folks here that call themselves "Cowboys" fans. You are to never be taken seriously. I guess I'll have to put you on my ignore list because you won't stop stalking me with your incessant Dak bashing. I know it won't stop you but I don't want to be bothered with your nonsense. You are officially IGNORED!

 

[JoeKing]

Yet so many defend Dak by bringing up his winning record in the first 4 years so you can't have it both ways.

The record is the team's not Dak's but we all know it wouldn't happen without him. Dak is the straw that stirs the drink.

 

[JoeKing]

Yet Dak didn't show up in the 2nd half against the Rams, the 1st half against Atlanta, the 1st half against Cleveland, or the 1st half against Seattle.

Sure he did. Loses are a reflection of how the team is doing not how any individual is doing.

[CWR]

Some of you did it to Romo. Some of you are doing it to Dak. I forgot how good this guy was this year

True. Romo was in the unfortunate position of having to do too much. He also had a gun slinger mentality and made his share of unforced errors. Its a real shame how it finally all came together for him and his body wouldn't hold up any further. Dak continues to grow and improve. I dont believe he is better than prime Romo yet, but we haven't seen prime Dak to this point, although he is rapidly approaching it. Dak may already be a better qb for the team, but I can't give him the nod as a better overall qb quite yet.

You mean the 8-8 drink? Why yes, yes he is.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

If wins and losses are a reflection of a team effort then explain to me in what world it makes sense to pay the price Dak is demanding? Anyone with an iota of intelligence can see that it makes no sense to pay Dak. He isn't the QB who makes the people around him better. He needs a ton of help both on the offensive line and receivers, he is mobile but only to a point, he isn't fast like a Watson or a Jackson, he certainly doesn't have the arm that Mahomes has and is slow on his reads. He's an average QB who is demanding that he be paid like an elite QB. If everyone in the league is saying that Goff isn't worth the contract he was given and Wentz isn't worth the contract he was given - why would you claim that Dak who is more in the realm of Goff and Wentz, guys who are average but need a lot more around them than the elite guys.

 

[Captain-Crash]

"but I got his jersey and his dakaroo pajamas" let's keep him" .

 

[jnday]

You're another of those fools that fails to recognize W-L record is a team stat and not a QB stat. 6-11 in his last 17 games indicates a bad team, not a bad QB. Fast forward to the 2020 season... Dak showed up in the first half of the Giants game and then got hurt... Cowboys still won. Since then without Dak it's been downhill.

Stop the foolishness. It has not been downhill. They are winning just as many games without Dak as with him. If you are so impressed with garbage time stats that does not produce wins, there is no helping you.

It is easy to ignore posters when you can’t win with facts. Just ignore the facts and only read what your fellow Dakettes post.

 

[JoeKing]

Why do folks keep confusing W-L for a QB stat? It's not a QB stat, it's a team stat. Improve the rest of the team and the wins will come.

You keep up with your Dak hating ways and I'll be sure to laugh at you when he gets that huge deal from Jerry next Spring.

 

[mardwin]

What have we missed? Dak had a 1-3 record and was losing to the Giants before the injury.

The middle W against the Falcons otherwise it would have been 0-4.

The team is losing because the team is bad. It has nothing to do with Dak. But they would have won more this season with Dak.
