Video: Skip Shannon discuss Stafford trade possibility

Dak is ascending still...STAFFORD has NEVER really ascended to do anything. Makes no sense to trade for a 2 year rental and knowing you will likely be searching for another QB in 2 years time lol..and its not like finding a franchise QB is easy. They dont come round very often. EASY PASS FOR ME. Just suck it up and pay the man.
and stay a .500 team.
 
Stafford has always been an above-average QB on poorly coached teams with a poorly operated FO and never really the supporting cast to do much.

DET's FO is one of the few out there worse than DAL over the last about 20-25 years.

IMO, Stafford, at his age and with his physical issues, could still be an upgrade for several teams: NYJ, CLE, IND, JAX, HOU (w/o Watson), DEN, NYG, WFT, CHI, LAR, and LV (maybe)
 
Stafford is good. Prescott is better. The difference, at this stage, is significant.

Stafford also might be dealing with a long-term back issue. Time will tell on that.

But in the modern NFL, you don't get better by being worse at QB. That's just the game these days.
 
Whats the idea here, that Stafford will play cheap?

Doubtful, and while he may be slightly cheaper than Dak he is that much worse on the field.

I don't at all see what Stafford has that Dak doesnt.
Daks younger, so theres that.
Matt Stafford is on a whole other level above Dak as a passer. Maybe on the short list of the best pure passers in this league ....ever. He has Mahomes arm talent.
Bruce Arians, Aaron Rodgers, etc.....all those guys they just mentioned raving about him even at 32.

but Dak is younger and a good leader, and the players here love him.
Thats a big deal.

Staffords cap hits are $9.5 this year and $12.5 next year. More than half of what Dak willl get. But they likely want a 1st rounder for him

Im sure a cap expert will correct me if I’m wrong
They'll trade him for way less than a 1st.
He's given his heart and soul to Detroit.....even was close to the NFL record for QB consecutive starts,
Its a mutual agreement to part ways, so they sonewhat lowered the value already.
 
One of the biggest Cowboy haters(Shannon) and another Todd disciple (Scandrick) are selling Dak just because.
Stafford has QB talents that Dak in his wildest dreams will never reach!
We can only hope the hometown boy wants to go home.....
Jerry will sign Prescott and announce it on an Sunday so he can get some spotlight.
 
Dak would never go to Detroit, so he would not do that particular sign and trade.

You can pay the man, but Dallas isn't going to the SB while Dak is being paid like an elite talent. Even elite talents have a hard time getting there taking up a huge portion of the cap. Ask Rodgers and Brees about that. Teams are better off with a halfway decent QB under a rookie contract with a very good team around them.

Disagree.
 
So let me get this straight, you want to trade a qb who actually has a playoff win and an overall winning record for a qb who has a losing record and has never won a playoff game and a sketchy injury history lately, right? Did I get that right?

Well since all the Dak defenders want to blame the defense and coaching for his not winning and stating it's a TEAM game then why can't the same be said about Stafford? Oh, and Stafford's stats are similar to Dak's since 2016 so why not take on an equally good QB for less money?
 
Injuries are a legit concern..


Everything else is silly though.. He’s better than Dak.


But

Give me the cheaper option because both guys have about the same impact on a football game.

I do think with WR being such a strength of our team and Zeke declining that Stafford is a better choice than Dak.
Exactly. Stafford is the better player and a cheaper option.
 
He's supposedly interested in Indy.

He's got options.
Perfect match on both ends if you're asking me.

Indy should not be wasting the window they have here on a rookie type.

That defense is good. Well coached all around as well.

We can only dream here in ego land.
