Naw I'm saying I think your campaign may be coming to a end....unfortunately....I honestly thought your campaign was going to work honestly. I really thought Stephen and Jerry would listen.
........so what is your point? I'm saying they didn't cut him because of his salary and you are saying they cut him because of his knee so what are you actually arguing here? That is the same exact argument. He didn't get cut simply because they couldn't' afford him.C'mon stop trying to twist this around. My point was they cut him a season early to avoid having to pay him more because they didn't trust his knee to hold up, his lack of production was because the Rams didn't use him as much because they didn't trust the knee!!!
True. Maybe we can change it to #DONTpayDak2024?
To use other types of markets as examples of what can or does happen in the sporting world is trying to add apples to oranges. The cost or price of pro athletes contracts as in market value always continue to rise until a player is felt to be on the downward side of their careers. Your example of the housing market is an orange in a pile of apples. There are many reasons why a house drops in price. First, like a player, age. Next there could be something being built close by that causes all the homes in that block or area to drop. Things like if there is some open area near by that everyone thinks will be subdivided and homes built but all of a sudden a prison is getting built there. Or because of zoning rules and a larger home is bought and is turned into a half way house so all of the surrounding homes just lost value. In pro sports the market value as a whole just keeps going up every year.

Yes, it's true that a housing market is more susceptible to a downturn than a market for players in the NFL. But the thing is there is never an oversupply of QB's like there sometimes is with houses, so that's why you can't look at QB's as being susceptible to the other side of the coin the way houses are. There are never enough quality NFL starting QBs to go around, and as long as that's the case the market will dictate a high price.

You did not ask me if I felt like he was a top 5 quarterback. You asked me did I feel like he should be paid like a top 5. That's what I'm saying yes to because I do feel like his ceiling is that of a top 5 quarterback. I'd say right now he's a top 10-12 quarterback. Depends who you ask. There are 4 or 5 guys you can argue are better or worse.Well that is where we Disagree at his absolute best Dak might sneak into the lower end of the top 10 but for me he will never be more than a top 15 QB. Paying him 35m is just a waste of good money
So if Gurley lead the league in rushing last year do they cut him this offseason?Your argement was he got cut over production and his contract was not worth the production. I;m saying it is costing the Rams more to release Gurley and find his replacement than it would have been to keep him on the roster this year. This is only about his knee and the Rams belief that it won't hold up. By the way they still need a back to get them 800 yards rushing 39 receptions and 14 TD's to give them what Gurley gave them last season. What will that cost them? 3-4m more to find a back who can try to give them that
So if Gurley lead the league in rushing last year do they cut him this offseason?
He would'e been gone after the 2021 season even if he lead the league in rushing?If he led the league in rushing (or came close) last season it would be because they used him enough and his knee held up so no they would not have cut him this offseason, but regardless of what he would do this season i think he would have been gone for the 2021 season
When was Romo ever the highest paid player in the league?
Please list what season that was...………...and if you can find such a season, I suspect you cant, I theoretically would have been against that as well.
I kinda expect things like SB rings if a player wants to be the highest paid in the league.
It's really not that simple because pay is not linked to a Sport's Illustrated or ESPN poll ranking the QB's. It's tied to supply and demand - market factors - as of the time a contract is being negotiated. Do you really think anyone believes the multitude of QBs making more than Mahomes are really better than Mahomes? Of course they don't. It's not a matter of how Mahomes ranks relative to others, it's just a matter of him not being at a point of negotiating a new contract right now. And if Dak gets more money than Rodgers, for example, it won't be a statement that he is a better QB, it will simply be that he is negotiating a new contract this year, and Rodgers is not.Ok you like to play with words even though you know the meaning, so here it is for you to answer. Do you think Dak is a top 5 QB? and if not then why should he be paid like one? It's simple if you think he is top 5 then he should be paid like that if not he shouldn't

Numbers tell a different story, we were Ranked 10th in total yards given up 9th in passing yards allowed and 11th in run yards allowed and 10th in points per game given up. Where we lacked was in turnovers. We were a solid D last year, this year i expect us to be a little worse we lost some very good players
He would'e been gone after the 2021 season even if he lead the league in rushing?
What is your proposed alternative?$35 mill a year and over $100 million guaranteed and the dude is saying "nah, not good enough".
Seriously, is there anybody on this board that thinks Dak is worth this type of coin? Being the highest paid player in the history of the entire NFL?
Dude has one playoff win...………..ONE PLAYOFF WIN!!!!!
I'm sorry, but Dak is not worth this much, he just aint. I like the guy, have his jersey I wear on gamedays, but no way in hell am I making Dak the highest paid player in the history of the league. Call me hater all you want, but dude aint worth it.
Greedy? Depends. I feel he has every right to be greedy just like any other person in this world. As a fan? Of course I want him to sign a favorable deal. As a human being? I can't call you greedy if you are asking for what you feel you are worth and what you feel you can get paid. The employer always has the opportunity to #dontpaydak lol.Look if we have to keep him. Hopefully he takes less.
Can you agree he's being a little bit greedy?
