That wouldn’t have benefited their brand. “Washington lost FedEx because they refused to change their racist name. We look forward to filling the void left by FedEx as we support the name Redskins.” The juice isn’t worth the squeeze and I know a little something about sponsorships. It would be interesting to see if FedEx opted out how fast UPS or Amazon or another billion dollar company jumped on board. If FedEx did jump ship I really don't see it taking that long to get a new sponsor.

The only outlier is the 1st quarter. I stand corrected. Nice stat grab, DCOrange. I just don't ever remember Dak putting his team on his back, and leading them to an impressive victory. Maybe he has from time to time, but not enough to stand out. I think Dak is asking for back pay, with this new deal. He's getting 4th round draft pick money these past few years, and now he wants some make-up pay for that. But he's forgetting that there were reasons why he was drafted in the 4th round. 1

Come on now, most of the talk isn’t saving lives. I don’t want to derail the thread with BS but I’ll simply say a lot of people think this thing is fake and politically driven, that somehow asking people to wear a mask in public is a crime taking away their rights as an American. It’s a lot of silly memes and fake pic stats all over with people arguing. That’s not talk of saving lives.

A lot of that hate stems from him playing in Dallas. We look so foolish in our criticism. He’s not elite. He’s a top 10ish QB right now. The cost for a young top 10 QB is approaching $40M a year. That’s just what it is. It’s time to accept that. We MAY be (hopefully) looking at a similar problem in a few months. Kirby, Dak has played behind the best line and with awesome weapons and a very good offensive minded HC. Garrett was a bonehead at times but he can coach offenses. Dak is a middle of the pack QB for me. Given what Josh played with his first two years, I think Dak would probably be around 20.

That’s the problem that Washington ran into. Believe me, if they thought someone would have just jumped in they would have stuck to their guns. In this environment no company was dying to put their name on the worst stadium in the NFL, for one of the worst team’s in the NFL, with the worst ownership in the NFL and a team with a racist name. How would that benefit Amazon? UPS? Anybody? There are a lot better use of their advertising dollars. Normally sponsors are lining up. This situation is totally different hence the name change.

Again, we have a zillion different ways that we try to discredit him. As of today, based on what he’s done, Dak is right around 10. We can go back and forth with different data points but the more we dig in on that the more it supports Dak. He’s not ever going to be the best in the league but he will always be a Pro Bowlish QB. He’s 26. He wins. Hes CRIMINALLY underrated by TBD.

I travel for work 3-4 days per week, and NETFLIX gets old fast. Turn on something sports related and within 10 minutes its Dak and Cowboys. Check the news feed its the same. More talk about a mediocre player and overplayed team than needed. Just sick to death of a non-sorry about a player turning down millions while real people cant pay the bills.

I’ve watched him since college, I just think he has been given every opportunity to succeed and he has been good not great. If he wants to get paid more than Wilson, you got to let him walk. Dalton, with that talent might put to rest how good Dak is. 1

Why did they buckle when the public didn’t care? They buckled because THEIR SPONSORS cared!! They were about to lose giant chunks of money and their minority owners. No one was stepping in after that. It was a financial decision. That's even worse. Sponsors and corporations who dictate what the public should feel and think about things. 1

Dalton, with that talent might put to rest how good Dak is. Getting paid more than Wilson is a function of timing more than talent. As that Charles Robinson article that is posted earlier said the chance at a Russell Wilson type of deal is gone. He’s getting more than Russell Wilson and with a flat cap that’s a problem for Dallas. They played hardball when they shouldn’t have. I too have followed Dak a longtime. I was in Tiger Stadium in 2014 where he stunned LSU. He was dominant. He’s never going to be an elite NFL QB but he is around 10 now. For some perspective last year he was 2nd in yards, 13th in completion percentage, 4th in TD passes, 8th in yards per attempt, 10th in rating and 4th in QBR. He’s won 62.5% of his career starts. That’s not a guy that’s interchangeable with Dalton. That’s a high end NFL QB. Just now, BillsRdue said: That's even worse. Sponsors and corporations who dictate what the public should feel and think about things. That’s a different argument all together but that’s 100% Snyder’s reasoning. If you ever wonder “why” follow the money. 1
