The main reason to take Trevor or fields etc, or hey go with gilbert is the money you pay the qb, and the cap.
Dak is good, but not good enough to pay him 35-40 mil a year.
If the situation were different, I would say keep and pay him. Like if dallas had a really good defense and DC RIGHT NOW !
If that were the case, and if jerry wasnt letting kellen learn on the job and get a real OC, then Dak would be more worth the money as
you could try then to make a SB run.
And I bash kellen, but really all these OC's are kinda stupid , most nfl coaches are kinda stupid lol.
The only team doing it all very good is KC, they keep making the right moves, good moves, and Andy and his O coaches do a good job
with calling plays. They call too many pass plays, but with mahomes and the wr they have, it works.
Bruce arian is a idiot, gets brady, and then wants tom to run bruce's offense, instead of the one brady used to win 6 super bowls !! lol
So bruce thinks his offense that has never made it to a SB is better than the one tom used to win 6 and get to what 10?
How stupid is that, it boggles my mind.
If it were me I would let tom decide what offense he wants to run, help design the playbook, then let him call the frikking plays lol.
Then you would have something.
But no bruce says tom I call the plays, as your too stupid to do that, and you will run my offense , not that stupid stuff you did when
you won all those SB's lol.
But paying Dak now, while we have a weak defense, and amateur OC and the OL is also in bad shape, means that your gonna pay dak
all that money even though your not ready to make a SB run.
Dallas is not capable of making a SB run with just Dak and this team as it is , so now is not the time to pay any QB.
They are better off just making gilbert, the # 1, Draft defense and OL and in 2-3 years they could be ready to make a run, even with a good
bus driver QB, which gilbert could be. or with a Draft pick , or both since both would be cheap.
I like gilbert, as he is big, can run , and can throw pretty good, and with right coaching could make a good bus driver qb,maybe more,
and by bus driver I just mean someone who is efficient and doesnt make many mistakes.
Many teams try to start with a qb, but that is stupid because they then wind up needing to pay the guy before the team is even ready,
and by then he may be all beat up.
Teams should really start with defense , build a great one, that can win games, but most teams dont do that.
As we have seen for many years, if you dont have at least a very good defense , it doesnt matter how good your offense is.
The other team can always score last and beat you.
Thats why I like gilbert, he would probably sign cheaper than any QB you could possibly get, heck 5 years at 4 mil a year maybe even 3 mil a year.
Let him be the guy and he would be very happy, and a decent qb, and the team would have a extra 32 million a year to spend on defense.
Of course I would also get rid of jaylon, Conner W., and first thing draft a top safety , 1 of each type, and start with that.
I watched the safety and jaylon on the last pitt TD that put them ahead, and the safety just stood there in middle of endzone, jaylon in middle of field,
and neither reacted till ball was on the way to the wr, and by then it was too late. Savion smith was the only one who played good on that play,
he had his guy covered, and reacted quicker than the other 2, and was the one who tried to tackle the guy. jaylon and safety, never even got close.
So keeping dak and paying him, dallas will never do better than 2016, that is the best they can do, and they can also do worse.
Now being realistic, I know jones boys will always focus on offense, defense will never be good, and they will keep extending duds like jaylon,
and not draft good safetys, they may extend Connor lol, if he signs cheap, they love bargains. Gregory will get a big deal, and even with
good draft position, like # 3 or even # 1 they may screw that up and pick some more bargains and the wrong players.
Heck they are probably going to trade gilbert for some 3rd string injured player who smokes weed lol.
So in summary it is hopeless lol , it doesnt matter what they do with dak, the only way cowboys and jones boys will see a SB is
by watching it on tv like the rest of us.
