FWIW Cowherd just recited Daks playoff stats and said Dallas is right not to pay him elite money. Said they should draft a quarterback in the first two rounds. Mentioned Pennix and Nix as great choices.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones: “We’re very proud of this roster. We feel very, very good about the promise of this roster this season. … We feel great about what we’ve been in free agency. We’re all in.”

I'm not absolving the D. The defense was awful. But the poster I was responding to was acting like the D was the problem and not Dak, which is absurd.Macarthur said:
Dak wasn't good but you can't absolve the D like that. They were down 28-0 early second quarter.
Sometimes your QB struggles out of the gate and it would be nice for the defense to hold a team to a FG once in a while. There were guy running free w no one within 20 yards of them.
Again, Dak was bad but it wasn't just him.
I think a dozen other franchises have shown that franchise QBs are not the holy grail they used to be. QBs start 7 on 7 in high school, go to QB camps, and play spread starting in Junior High. They are more prepared than every to come in and be successful at a young age. Most drafts end up with several Dak level QBs every year, and many more just one tier worseMacarthur said:
I'm also trying to bring a little dose of reality to this thread that if you walk away from Dak (which I've said more than once, I'm not necessarily opposed to), prepare yourself for a world of Zach Wilson's and not even being competitive in the division, much less the playoffs.
The narrative seems to around here that all we need to do is get rid of Dak and our playoff failures will be solved, when the reality is you prob won't have to worry about playoff failures.

Would you trade Dak to the Raiders for their a haul of picks (whatever it works out to. Multiple firsts, etc) and draft Penix at 13.
Assuming he's there at 13. It's a Raiders on the clock deal.
If they pay Dak this money I am done with the cowboys. Can't do it anymore. It's obvious what I'd do lol

interesting times for Jerry. He knows the fan base is done with Dak, just hard to care about the regular season knowing Dak will gag in the post season......
and now here come the Texans and they are going for it. You know it really fries Jerry to be possibly #2 in Texas.
that certainly doesn't help....Pignorant said:
Goff just signed a 4-year $212 million deal, with $171 million guaranteed.
AAV is $53 million.

Dak has a losing record against teams that are above .500. Let someone else be in salary cap hell.

Statistically Goff is not better than Dak. Now if we are talking about just having the ability to walk into a big game and not piss yourself like a scared babythen I would have to agree.
I do think Goff has benefited from both better coaches (McVay and DC) and better ran organizations (Detroit is basically an offshoot of the Rams front office .)
