Has Dak Prescott shown enough for Dallas to sign long term?

Pay him for what? Yes, he is putting up personal stats but this year Dallas' record is 1-3.....last year Dak put up great personal stats but Dallas' record was 8-8.

Over the last 28 games, the Dak led Dallas Cowboys have a record of 12 Wins and 16 Losses.

While his personal stats may jump out the team record does not and ultimately the job of a QB is to help lead the team to Wins, not personal stats.

Yes......but I still question how you can have the highest paid WR, RB, Dak...... AND makeover the defense. What we are doing now in regard to allocation of resources is not a winning formula.

It's this teams identity. Pay top pay to guys who don't deserve it and hope and pray the draft pans out.

The defense will take 3-4 drafts to overhaul, just in time for our offensive line to be completely void of talent, which will take 3-4 drafts to rebuild, which in time our skill players will be gone, which will take 3-4 drafts to rebuild, and now our defense is lacking talent which will take 3....

After last year I argued not to sign Dak long term. My main reasoning was I didn’t know if it was Dak or the talent around him.... that question has been solved. Pay that man!

Dak played his whole career with great talent around him. So i dont understand your point ?!

Do you think this year the talent is gone and he still has great stats ? Or... ?

I’m hoping by the end of the season when we win the division because the whole division stakes we can have his defense fixed. And anybody who still blaming Prescott doesn’t have a clue in hell about football

For the record I want him signed.

But I'm not sure this defense can be fixed anytime soon. LVE is a huge question mark, DE's are a huge question mark this and next year. Secondary is green/bad, and we have 3 guys who eat up snaps as soon to be UFA in Chido, Lewis and Woods.

This year, only way I can see any chance is D-Law gets healthy/motivated, LVE can find his 2018 mojo, Gregory/Aldon play at their peak, and some guys in the secondary make some progress. Even then, I think it's highly unlikely. Front seven can't stop the run, can't pressure the QB and the back 4/5 are beat like a drum on 2 second passes.

You're trying too hard. Having a historically bad defense may have something to do with our record no?

I'd still like to see some of Dalton. I don't necessarily think he's better but I would like to see how a different QB would do in this offense. If he can play anywhere close to as well as Dak does that shows you don't need to resign Dak. Take that money and throw it all at the defense. Get some decent free agents who aren't in their last legs and use the draft too. Leave a little to shore up the O-line.

Honesty even if you are against dak it’s hard to make an argument that he is not the best player on the entire team.

I challenge anyone to point out a player that is playing better at their respective position than dak or doing more to help the team be as competitive as possible.

the question is the money thing on the contract but just do it like Mahomes deal and we will be fine...this defense and oline both need massive help before this team goes anywhere

I'd pay him. He's doing it all for this team. Unfortunately that's not good enough. Imagine if he wasn't here. Geesh.

You still don't get it.

There is a big difference between individual stats and team stats.

It's not that hard to understand.
