Are we complaining about Dak in a game where the Cowboys scored 40 points (35 in regulation on offense) against a team who hadn’t given up more than 18 all season?

Of all the games to call out Dak, this wasn’t one of them.

I will never understand the Dak hate from this board.

A guy from Louisiana that keeps his head down, navigates the pitfalls of being Jerry’s QB, and actually is a good football player.

I guess it’s the Cowboys hate that bleeds over to Dak

$40? You missed an additional third or $20 million there. He’s making $60 to beat bad teams and lose to good ones. But he is good for fantasy players, which drives up Cowboys popularity and that is ALL Jerry really cares about.

He is a businessman and his team is worth more than any other by far. He does not care about winning a Super Bowl. He cares about popularity (not likability, just how popular they are) of his team and money. He’s doing pretty good at both of those things.

ETA: I guess he is only technically making $50.5 million this year.

Dak deserves heat at times but not last night. He definitely played well enough for them to win.

I despise the Cowboys and that team has many issues with their roster but Dak isn't one of them. What he's paid is simply the "market" at the time. He played out of his mind last night without the WR 1A option.

Dak had a very good game last night.

Not sure what else he could’ve done.

Supply and Demand - There's 32 NFL teams and about 15 QB's that would be considered above average.


Look at the Saints situation

I just read that Dallas has the #1 offense in the NFL and the worst defense.
