I have seen multiple threads of how Prescott should or shouldn't get paid next year.
The incredible twist now is how Andy Dalton and the team does the rest of the year will go a long ways to deciding his future and Prescott's with Dallas.
Scenario 1: Dallas doesn't win division or make playoffs. I think Dalton doesn't return and Prescott is franchised or signed long term.
Scenario 2: Dallas wins the division, but loses in wildcard round. I think Dalton is used as leverage against Prescott. If Prescott doesn't sign a team friendly deal, Dallas then signs Dalton to a 2 to 3 year deal at 20 million per(like Bridgewater) till the next quarterback is found. Prescott is exclusively tagged. If there are no takers before free agency the tag is rescinded and Prescott becomes free agent(should net 3rd round pick).
Scenario 3: Dallas wins divison and wins more than one playoff game. Dallas is now between a rock and a hard place. Dalton gets resigned, but his asking price just went up north of 25 million per. Dallas uses exclusive tag on Prescott, but if there are no takers, hits free agency. Same as scenario 3.
Scenario 4: Dallas wins SB. Dalton is signed to a long term deal(four years)and Prescott is done in Dallas.
The only scenario I see that Prescott comes back is Dallas not having a successful 2020. The more success Dallas has, the chances Prescott comes back drops with each victory.
Ironically, Prescott has to root against Dallas for his future in Dallas.
Dalton is probably gonna play all year and should prolly be resigned and extended 1 year for insurance just in case
I don't question his ability to play. He has better touch and accuracy throwing the deep ball. Imo. He's just not that mobile and as strong and durable as dak.
What I do question is our offenses ability to design some quick throws to offset the oline weaknesses. Were treating every passing snap like we have 5-6 seconds to throw the ball. Lol. That's gonna lead to disastrous plays if we dont change the monotony of the formations and personnel.
One thing is for certain. This offense can continue along w these scrub tes being overinvolved in our passing game. Especially in critical down and distances and game winning situations. They have no big play capabilities so they shouldnt be asked to do stuff with skillsets they dont have.
The monotony of the 11-12 formations spell the playcall. These tes dont have the talent to overcome this monotony and the offense gets weakened.
Theres no doubt our 4 best wrs are unstoppable w all that speed and talent wise. But you gotta learn to run the ball in it and stop all of the duck duck goose vanilla 11 and 12 formations because there is no element of surprize.
10+ years of the same monotonous formations leave no element of surprize and these tes are just one less weapon in a passing offense that isnt clutch enough to win games.
If you got only the best 5 Out of 6 sled dogs the worst dog is gonna hold the whole pack back. Thats what these tes do to the wrs. Sit Schultz and go 4 wide on occasion and beat somebody with some firepower on occasion. The defense is gonna back up and you run it and pass it down their throat situationally.
We dont have that Jared Cook like deep threat gamechanging te who can win games and overcome the monotony. Theres so many problems with this offense using the same vanilla scheme over and over in a losing fashion that is not clutch. I dont care about that empty calorie te production if we cant score and win against the good teams.
If we want to stop all the qb fumbling then get some firepower out there and drag the defense on their heels with all of that speed w one less linebacker on the field. The play opens up faster and we got the sauce at wr and rb. But we got the same ole doodoopie using these tes as anchors in our passing game. Js. Got to find some way to get a better skilled player out there even if it means abandoning this ignorant te passing scheme which is hit or miss. Usually missing against the over .500 teams
