Top 5 paid QB this year just represents market price. In a couple years his salary will be more commensurate to his ability . That’s how it works in the league for most QB’s.
Again , if your not sold Dak is a franchise QB, that’s fine .
And my hunch is the Cowboys will be more consistent contenders with Dak even if we over pay him than depending on our organization to find another franchise caliber QB . In the meantime we waste the talent we have accumulated surrounding him.
Well, that's kind of the point right? There is nothing, at all, that suggests the Cowboys Franchise has to be stupid and go along with this whole, "Market Price" idiocy. Stupid Franchises do this kind of stuff. Smart ones don't. Look at Houston, look at Philly, look at the Vikings, they all went along with that whole "Market Price" lunacy and now they are looking at really bad situations. That is not a sign of intelligent management style, to me. This idea that this is how it works in the NFL now is just another example of stupid management. That's not how it works if you say no and make the smart move. Trade for value and go out and find your next starting QB in the draft. Do not allow yourself to be held hostage around the cap. All you get is a steady diet of very average teams with a year here and there that produces a decent season and little chance of winning championships. If you are Jerry, that might be enough but it shouldn't be for the fan base. We really should demand more then that.
I don't agree with your hunch. I think it locks us in to the suck. Dak has never, ever, shown that he can do it without top quality talent around him.
35 AAV is a really good contract. You want 40 for 4, you better be much better and elevate. Dak has never shown that he is that guy. Maybe he will develop into that guy but I've seen absolutely nothing that suggest he will be that guy.
I wouldn't do it.
BTW, his contract would never be a bargain. Tell me how that would work. He's making 40 AAV with well over 100k Guaranteed over a 4 year deal. The cap is not going up, and that's for probably multiple seasons and the cap is probably going down by a good 20 mil this season along. There is no way that a 4 year deal is ever going to become a bargain over that period of years. That's just the truth of it.
