Except Micah isn't a premium edge rusher. He gets almost all his stats against teams that are trash. That is why he has 1 sack in 3 playoffs games, because as soon as he plays an offensive line that isn't trash, you getting 0 sacks, 0 tackles for lost 0 forced fumbles 0's out of him across the board.

That would be like if in all of Dak's playoff games he had a grand total of 2 touchdowns.

And you are right it is insane. Every QB who isn't trash signs a bigger contract than the last one. So it should be no surprise that Dak got record money, because every decent QB before him got record money. But what nobody does is pay defensive player's north of 40 million dollars, which we are surely going to do with Micah. That is the stuff that destroys your team, when you do the thing that nobody does. Just like nobody had paid the amount of money we did for a running back, and as soon as we did Zeke got so bad his backup made the pro bowl because we had to give him the ball just that much to overcome Zeke trashness.

We about to make Micah the highest paid defensive player ever with him not even knowing how to set and edge and needing Dak to go get us damn near 40 points at home so we can scrape by the fukking Seahawks because they weren't a terrible team so there was no way on earth Micah could ever get close enough to Geno Smith until they literally brain farted and didn't block him.

The next out of the next 3 starting QB's who sign one of them is going to get more than Dak. It might just be Purdy. But when Micah signs that record setting contract it will be a record for awhile because nobody is stupid enough to pay a guy 40 million to rack up sacks against teams that don't win more than 6 games except for the Cowboys.

Washington is at least a competent team now. Watch this dude get maybe 1 sack against them in 8 quarters, where the last few years he dominated them cause they were trash.

Micah is going to make significantly more than Chris Jones and Joey Bosa, who both have more sacks in 1 quarter of a playoff game than Micah has in 3 playoff games.

Talking about low tier talking points but you mention Hurts winning a super bowl. This dude did exactly nothing all year but watch his top 5 defense dominate games and turn around and hand the ball off to Saquon. Do you know how bad our record would be if Dak couldn't throw for 3000 yards or 20 touchdowns in a season? We wouldn't win 8 games...cause you know...we didn't win 8 games.
I stopped at the highlighted. What in the fuhk do you think Dak does? lol

HE PERFORMS AGAINST BUMS and chokes in the spotlight. Dak touches the ball 100% of the time he is in the game. His responsibility is way more.

A sack is a sack. Games arent won on a sack. Micahs importance on defense is that he must be accounted for at all times. Thats his value. Thats what you consider a top defensive lineman. He is the primary defensive player that is schemed on from opposing offenses. THATS HIS IMPORTANCE. Thats his value.

We usually agree on a lot but I gotta disagree breh. We can’t pay that mf 40 million if he won’t show up against top teams. Myles does, T.J does, maxx does. Like looking at them stats that’s horrible when it was dak we all rightfully threw a fit

Im not even looking at a number. Thats not what my fight is. If this number yall say is 40, then yeah we gotta trade him regardless just to get out this Dak hole. We cant do shyt because of that bum

I mean you kinda are if you saying he a premium edge


He is

Listen.. I havent been following football right now... its my offseason too..lol

But if 40 is the number yall say, then 40 gon be what he gon get. Whether in Dallas or outside Dallas. The problem with the Cowboys is they wait til it gets to that top number than doing the deal when it would be cheaper. 35-36 would make him the top paid edge. Why wait til its 40?

Yall gon be fuhked up if he get to the Eagles..terrorizing our shytty OLine

comparing Daks importance to Michahs is insane. Dak controls the offense. He is a perennial choker. He the 3rd best QB in the NFC east and that's because the Giants dont have one. Jaden has just as many playoff wins in one season. Hurts has a bowl and before that Nick fuhking Foles. comparing a premium edge rusher to a supposeeeeeeeeeeeed Franchise QB is low tier talking points
Dak is a choker.

But......

Which QB was winning a SB with any of those teams outside of 2016?

Cowboys problem is Dak + Random Fatal Flaw. In every damn playoff game, one or both of these things appears.

Either Dak plays like shyt or "something" (dumb penalties, can't stop the run etc) happens....recently it's been both.

Has Dak ever carried the team to a win in the playoffs? Maybe the Tampa game? That's about it.

Has the team ever carried Dak to a playoff win? That's the issue.....Neither Dak nor the rest of the team can pick up the slack if the other is off. Dak plays like shyt, they get blown out. Dak plays "ok" (vs Rams 2018), the defense plays like shyt.

The team played well enough to win both playoff games against San Fran in 2021 and 2022.

Dak played like ass.

I was at that game in Santa Clara. Our defense held the Niners but erratic c00nery made sure to fukk up at the most critical moment in the red zone second quarter.

But that's my point.

Dak can't carry them to wins....but the defense can't either. Like the D will play "really well" but they'll miss TO opportunities, get dumb flags etc. Even when holding a team down, they blink at some point.

Great teams that win SB's almost always have games where different people step up: QB, defense, elite gameplan etc. There's no single facet of the Cowboys INCLUDING Dak that can pull a tough playoff win out of the mud.

Dak we already know CANNOT do it but he costs too much to move...so they have to build around him.....but that requires better front-office leadership. You need a Howie Roseman-caliber person working with Will McClay, not Stephen Jones.
