Should read “Expect Dak’s contract to affect Cowboys season?” Affect vs effect bros cmon

[@daniel-fz9yc]

I never know the difference?

[@thepuzzycatzz4313]

@@daniel-fz9ycAffect is a verb. Effect is a noun.

[@spenserphoenix]

​@daniel-fz9yc affect = fk around, effect = find out

[@cuthip]

@@thepuzzycatzz4313 “effect” can be used as a verb, as in “to bring into effect” or “to cause something to happen or come into being”. But most of the time (like in this video), it should be “affect” when you’re using it as a verb (which means something like “impact”, “change”, or “influence”).

[@DefyThemAll]

⁠@@cuthipno… in your example, “bring into effect” bring is the verb, not effect. Effect is never a verb

[@persistentlypathetic6820]

I wouldn't give Dak an extension unless they go on a deep run this upcoming season.. which means AT LEAST an NFC title game appearance. No point in paying him all that money just to fold and lose every big game come January.

[@Wolfhaliey]

Well you would make a horrible GM so if the Cowboys don’t sign that Prescott they’re gonna get hit with a $54 million cat pit which they might take this year but what’s your recession plan Trey Lance Cooper Rush because you’re not getting a top quarterback in the draft because Dak Prescott always wins 12 games you’re gonna have a top 20 pick so you would probably get fired unless you own the team. Then also you can say that for 15 different quarterbacks so you’re saying they shouldn’t of paid Justin Herbert he’s never won a playoff game

[@dallinbagley4486]

@@WolfhalieyI agree with most of what you said, but, you also mentioned “a less you own the team.” If the owner empowers a GM(or his son does) to make the absolute best move for the team then this is it.

[@jrcrit8843]

@@Wolfhalieyexactly these foolish fans think they are going to get a top QB when every franchise has locked top tier QBs in the league. You’re not likely to lose enough games to get a Top 12 pick. It’s pointless to keep complaining about Dak when you have no alternative. At least you still have a chance to be in the playoffs and go far. It’s not like a ton of QBs have won Super Bowl rings

[@qaxcgyujm]

​@@jrcrit8843ya Cowboy fans think it's brighter on the other side but if they want to get rid of Dak then you better get ready for a rebuild because most likely you aren't gonna find a guy better than Dak is right now.

[@daliguj221]

⁠​⁠@@Wolfhalieythe problem is, we KNOW Dak can’t get it done. He’s shown us time and time again the moment is too big for him come the playoffs. Herbert and T Law types we haven’t seen it yet but the possibility is still there. Dak his entire career has had an elite O line, a great run game, a plethora of receivers, and these last 2 years an elite defense. He’s not getting any better, and if we pay him, his team is getting worse. What fan is gonna care about watching the cowboys when they know exactly what’s gonna happen come playoff time? Ask any Falcons fan, any Vikings fan. The last thing you want is living perpetually in “pretty good,” I’d rather roll the dice

[@robertwilliams1167]

I’d let him walk. A good qb making that kind of money hamstrung Dallas.

[@JabbaTheHut]

Let him walk! It doesn’t matter if we’re one and done in the playoffs or 8-9 in the regular season. Cowboys have nothing to lose!! He’s played for 8 seasons going on his 9th no post season W’s. He’s been paid very well.

[@MrAamog]

Isn’t the banner supposed to read ‘affect’ the season rather than ‘effect’?

[@andyf4578]

It’s funny, how everyone thinks this is one sided. I honestly believe that Dak doesn’t want to be there anymore. He’s going to get paid whether it’s in Dallas or not. The Cowboys front office is trash and has wasted prime seasons of Tony Romo and Dak careers

[@davet2459]

At this point I think the writing is on the wall. Jerry Jones has decided and is fully prepared to go with Trey Lance as his QB next year. He is a businessman and has realized his ROI on Dak doesn’t justify 60 million and the worst that can happen with Lance is the Cowboys don’t make the NFC Championship for them the 30th straight year. He fully knows that even if it’s a disaster and they go like 4/13 it will have zero effect on the Cowboys brand. So just start afresh the next year but if Lance works they have a super toolsy qb with a much higher ceiling than Dak for years to come.

The reason it’s silly is because Jerry is trying to put pressure on Dak to get the job done, but we all know that he’s not going to. Might as well trade him now, maybe you could get a third rounder out of it.

[@Justchillinman17]

I love hearing you speak nick wright 💯💯

[@MarkSashegyi]

Dak was on pace for 6,000+ passing yds the last time he was in a contract year.

[@SkyJW15]

If the Cowboys don't get to the NFCCG this year, we need to stop acting like they're a genuinely serious organization, sorry. It has been almost 30 years since they went to an NFCCG. Ever since, they've eithered missed the playoffs entirely or gotten unceremoniously bounced in the divisional or wildcard rounds. They cannot keep riding the legacy of a dynasty that a large portion of the NFL fanbase (myself included as a 29 year old) literally never got to see. This is the year that needs to make or break them. If they fail to make a deep playoff run and Dak walks, we need to stop talking about them. So many interesting young teams in this league to still be talking about a relic from the 90s as if it's still in vogue.

[@mikeottersole]

You do realize the players have changed since the 90s, same as every other team? But, yea, until Jerry Jones has zero influence, they won't make the needed changes.

[@AnthonyTaylorJr210]

If I am Dak and there is no contract during the year, and I play well…there is no way I am resigning with Dallas

[@MarkSashegyi]

Players play their best in contract years. Dak, Ceedee and Micah are about to set records.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

I personally don't think Dak is worth the $50-60m a year he and his agent are seeking. But Cowboy fans need to be realistic. He still wins a fair amount of games, gives them a chance. Do you really think the team will be this good with Tre Lance at QB? What if they don't sign Dak and grab someone like Zach Wilson, or Mac Jones next year? Because there aren't exactly going to be any super QBs that will be available.

[@user-lt7pe2us9l]

Have to agree with Nick to some degree. My experience has been, human nature is to perform counter intuitively when put in all or nothing position. I have placed individuals on final warnings only to watch them purposefully burn all their chances down, right after begging for one more chance. People behave strangely when emotions are involved.

[@skillethead15]

They said the same thing about Stafford in Detroit. Good QB who can’t win the big games. Stafford was 0-3 in playoffs games in Detroit. Now he’s a Super Bowl champion. Go ahead and let Dak end up with the Steelers and I bet you all of Dallas would be regretting it.

[@jeanespinal2041]

I think that teams pay early because the contracts get more expensive the longer you wait

[@AzarusDave]

Not paying him is a horrible idea. Say they are out early in the playoffs like always. Are they going to draft a qb in late rd1 or pray they get lucky with a late rd pick again? Or tank for a year so they get a better qb? Lance isn't the answer Dak is their best shot. If not Dak then who are you going to sign and not pay buckets of money to that's better?

[@ddjyt2009]

🤔🤨 regardless of what folks think about Dak’s postseason stats, whenever has Dak demonstrated laziness or didn’t give 💯 🧐. When has he ever not been under incredible pressure 🤨

[@moussaounnoughene221]

Dak dealt with it already for his 1st contract. IT costed the Cowboys around 8M/yr since. Ouf front office is as bad at signing players as it is good at drafting Olinemen. Doing it late is more expensive.

[@paulp.5462]

Nick is 100% right. Brou cant keep talking about good vibes for the Eagles for signing their guys but say it shouldnt matter when the Cowboys top THREE players want new contracts!! Brou cant keep acting like emotion isnt part of all of this.

Like most cowboys qbs

[@mattkmoch2895]

People are so funny and think even avg QBs fall off trees. The truth is that Dak can literally not throw a pass and sit this whole season and he will get a multi year contract worth over 45 million a year next year. May not be from the Cowboys but there are half a dozen teams that would jump at him. Do I think he is worth the money, no but he is still a top 15 Qb in the NFL so he is going to get paid. Same goes for Tua and Trevor. That is just how the NFL works.
