atran35 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 So are we franchising Dak another year then give him the contract OR we give him the big contract now? The only QB I want out of the draft would be Trevor and he is probably going the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak's salary in no way caused us to lose our top QB, our top two tackles, the projected starter at 3T before he even took a snap, a starting CB for most of the year, the other starting CB for most of the year, our starting OG, our starting C who retired, our backup center, our backup tackle....do I need to keep going? Dak's salary also didn't cause Zeke to regress, nor cause Jaylon Smith to suck. Like...c'mon. You can field a competitive team and still pay your top ten QB. Nobody can field a competitive team with so many injuries. I... never said it did. A big ol strawman paragraph for nothing. We were unable to retain home grown talent nor bring in significant acquisitions. Those starting CBs wouldn’t even be starters if we had Byron and brought in Bradberry or someone. We did nothing in the off-season because we are afraid to do anything until we work out our situation with Dak. We still are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Not ALL of our troubles are due to injury. Our defense wasn’t that great on paper coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly easy to fantasize about a world where we re-signed Dak to the Carson Wentz contract, re-signed Byron, forced Zeke to play out his contract, let Jaylon walk, and used the leftover money on some additional pieces.

5x10 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 How many more wins is dak worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Slamman Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 1 hour ago, 5x10 said: How many more wins is dak worth? We already know the answer to this... 0. We weren’t winning this year with paying Dak $31M. And we were exactly average last year when we only paid Dak about $3M. Yet some people think paying Dak $40M is the answer to our problems.

The cap (and our situation) is an amalgamation of factors that are much greater than "look at this snapshot and use it as empirical evidence".

The_Slamman Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Do you guys remember the argument whether the cowboys would be better off this year paying Dak $31M or Cam Newton $1M? Yeah, I do too. Cam with literally no offensive weapons is now knocking on the door of making a playoff run. Dak needed a miracle to get his only win against a bad team. Just imagine if Cam had the best WR Corp in the nfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts4313 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 oh my. I just watched the end of that pats game. It took a missed ARZ field goal, a bogus penalty and a last second NE FG for them to win that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Cam really is the one dragging the Patriots towards the playoffs. His WRs are UDFAs. He’s the best RB on the team. His OL is full of nobodies. Yet he keeps his team in the game. Now, imagine having $30M more invested in our defense... $ we wasted on Dak. Give cam 3 stud wrs and a legit rb plus $30m infused into our defense, I guarantee we win the division by a wide margin. you guys are so turned on by stats you forget that the point is winning. Paying Dak $31m got us an expensive stat compiler on a garbage football team. the funny thing is that everybody knows I’m right. It just hurts your feelings to admit it.
