Wasn’t Brady worth it at 22-25 mil

[Ranching]

All I can picture is the Rams Super Bowl. It was horrific on both sides of the quarterback play. Almost as bad as Mahomes against San Francisco

Lol!!! He's aight!!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

The guy threw 600+ passes last year, and was 4th in the NFL in attempts.

Brady is entering a radically different philosophy than he has ever seen. Belichick #1 rule is to minimize negative plays. If the primary WR is covered, check it down. If the check down is covered, throw it in the ground. Take no sacks, throw no interceptions. Nothing wrong with punting. But now he is moving to Bruce "no risk it, no biscuit" Arians. Everyone go deep. Chuck 'n duck. I mean, Jameis Winston has 5,000+ yards with 33 TD's. Of course, he also had 30 INT's, but don't expect that many INT's from Brady.

Yeah but let's not pretend like Jameis didn't boost his stats up because of the picks. If he had played more conservative he wouldn't have had anywhere near 5k yards or 30 td's...

And what? You think Prescott is going to 'veto' going anywhere else?

Please tell me that's what you're trying to say.

I asked earlier if you thought Dak would be willing to sign his tag in order to facilitate a trade. You never answered. You just yelled about it being a "fact" that he didn't need to sign in order for his rights to be traded. That is not correct. While he could help make trade negotiations happen, he could not have been traded until he signed his tender.

The Cowboys have 5 of those trophies.

are you sure the corrosion hasn't set in?

those are getting long in the tooth.

As some point the NFL will refer to the modern era as since 2000

Where will Dallas fans be then?

Back there were Detroit has 4 championships

I think you're right in that Brady's presence alone will get rid of some of the keystone cops type of games that we've seen in the past from Tampa.

But I think he's hugely misaligned with what Bruce Arians likes to do, and what that receiving corps is. They can't ask Brady to throw 9s all game, like they did with Carson Palmer. That's never been his game, and certainly isn't now.

hes nit as young as when he had Moss but when he did he dropped dimes on 9s all day..his best years were when they stretched the field with moss and hes still got gronk as a security blanket..

 

[blueblood70]

Wow, did you see Manning's last year in Denver? He was actually the worst QB on the roster that year, and he wasn't even as old as Brady. All of those intangibles you are talking about that Manning had his numbers were incredibly awful. The defense also carried that team.

and yet no Lombardi without him, guaranteed..its more then an arm and physicals skills that QBs lie Brady and manning bring to the table..thats the point..

Welker has his career years in NE. Nobody thought he’d be catching over 100 receptions a game.

And this last majority of the decade, the only real real receivers Brady has had are Edelman and Gronk and they often don’t even play full seasons. And Edelman isn’t a number 1. He’s a a lot receiver.

 

[khiladi]

Peyton Manning had a FUSED vertebrae on the neck that completely weakened his arm strength after a couple years.

Not true. Galloway’s rights were traded to the Cowboys.

Dallas had worked out terms of a contract with him. The same thing that would happen with Dak.

 

[Ranched]

Brady never had a receiver corp like this one............he'd kill it

 

[basel90]

From a cutthroat business perspective? The smartest thing the Cowboys could have done would have been to tag and trade Prescott and sign Brady for that two year $50 million contract. You would then have two years or more to find and develop that young quarterback and have them learn under the GOAT.

And this is coming from someone who is a fan of Prescott's work.

It was definitely a missed opportunity, but the Joneses get attached to their players and don't even consider such things.

Very true . Jerry never realized Dak was taking him into a long and futile ride . Grabbing Brady would have given Jerry a much better chance to get to the SB . Don’t see it with Dak .

 

[basel90]

Why is there only a 2 year window? Remember the window that was supposed to close when Romo and Witten aged, yet here we are still talking about the window?

I think that gives you the answer - that the goal is to try and build a team that can be competitive for more than just a small window.

2 year was the estimated window while Brady is still healthy and the cowboys have the core OL/ RB and DLaw and some other peices .

 

[basel90]

Normally i'd say yes they should have done this. but look at the bronco's, they got Peyton for a few years & got a superbowl if my memory serves me... but look at them now they are a revolving door at QB. Finding a QB in draft is a total crap shoot if you find one you keep that one and ride with them. I do not want another X+ years of Quincy Drew / Chad to finally find a romo.

Yes but I would take 2 super bowl appearances and at least One win like the broncos did to end a futile 26 year wait .

 

[Corso]

Didn't Brady say just less than a year ago that he "pretty much came out of the womb hating the Cowboys"?

 

[basel90]

Prescott was better than Brady last year. Just saying.

No he was not , Brady had less weapons and still outplayed Dak head to head and record wise .

I really don’t think that things that happened that far in the past factored into Brady’s decision

 

[Stash]

Very true . Jerry never realized Dak was taking him into a long and futile ride . Grabbing Brady would have given Jerry a much better chance to get to the SB . Don’t see it with Dak .

I think he’s good enough to win with.

Let’s see what he can do with real quality coaching this season.

 

[CowboyRoy]

In hindsight , honestly , shouldn’t the cowboys just grabbed Brady for 25-25 mil for the best chance to reach the Super Bowl this year or next while we still have the talent on the roster ?
Does any one really believe Dak gives us a better chance than Brady in the 2 year window ?

I would rather have Mahomes.

 

[Corso]

I am of the opinion that Brady had zero desire to sign here because he disliked the team since he was a child and that was that.
He was in a position to nearly choose his destination and he didn't even contact the Cowboys, who were and are in the middle of some real QB uncertainty.

I could be very wrong, but that's my gut talking, bud.

I'm enjoying your tet-a-tet's throughout this thread though!

right, because football is an individual sport, not a team sport. How silly of me.
