Correct over the last 28 years the Dallas Cowboys have had dozens and dozens of great players make big giant contracts and not deliver in the big games it seems like only the quarterbacks get ripped apart... I mean by the tone of the original poster and people around here if you can't pay your second team all pro second MVP voting a player at the quarterback position has never been part of a losing season when healthy been the playoffs 5 out of the last eight seasons then that means you have to pretty much trade all the other guys on this team up for contracts if you truly wanna blow it up get all you can for lamb digs and Parsons... If you truly wanna put the blame put it where it belongs on the entire team and if you're worried about big deals to people not delivering that means all your stars need to go because they didn't show up and any of these playoff games that we have lost we have not had a good run game it's almost nonexistent the offensive line is not physical enough and the defense at least three of those losses that Prescott's been involved and it's been the defense...Not defending Dak but this entire team gets curb stomped in the playoffs.
How much do you pay Micah? Would a strip sack or two have come in handy against the Packers? How much do you pay Lamb? He doesn't drop that pass on Dallas' first drive, maybe it's a tie game. How much do you pay Bland eventually? How many Packers receivers were running free that afternoon?
As much as we want to make Dak's 2-5 playoff record the issue, the bottom line is he is only part of the problem. Changing quarterbacks does not change the fundamental issues that have been in play here since 1996. Really, since 1994 when Jimmy Johnson left, but the Cowboys he built were so talented they still won one more Super Bowl without him before it all crumbled down.
So add in coaching and game plans,
Prescott and Romo have never ever had a playoff team that Roger and Troy had heck you can add in Danny white who seems to get a lot of credit around here you realize he has an upside down touchdown interception ratio in the playoffs ? it close to even in the regular season, he wasn't that good ,he was on a great team,
they had a great run game, a great offensive line, great defense that earned the moniker doomsday defenses, some of the best coaches to ever be assembled ,and yet those quarterbacks were never asked to carry a team in the playoffs, they literally showed up when it was time to play AS A TEAM...
