Mark u made some good points but then you lost me. The Eagles won their division, the Saint's won the conference championship and the Patriots won the super bowl and yet they were lesser talents than the 8-8 cowboys? Yet the cowboys had a chance to win all those games. Can't have it both ways boys. Dak was legitimately injured in the 2nd Eagles game and for sure could have played better in the others. I've never ever said Dak is a great QB nor does anyone else in here. He is a very good QB (not elite) in my opinion. He can be successful if the team around him plays well (which the cowboys have not) cuz no he isn't elite enuf to carry a team. Blaming Dak for every loss shifts any blame the cowboys TEAM has for underperforming . Funny I never hear ANY criticism of any player but Dak. If our coach hadn't sucked and more players had played well we wouldn't even be having this conversation. As far as his contract goes I'm on record that he doesn't deserve what he is asking for. Cowboys had chance to sign a very good QB to a reasonable contract 2 yrs ago and didn't have the foresight to do so. Be careful for what u ask for this team could be entering QB purgatory and again NOBODY has any alternatives just criticism. If not Dak who is ur QB moving forward? I'm waiting?
