Stafford at 25-28M and give up the 10 pick?

[CouchCoach]

My point in all of this Daksaga has been if not him, then who is the QB? There weren't other options except a rookie QB until just recently.

I do see these 2 QB's as comparable in talent and the age thing doesn't come into play because I am only talking about the next 4 years.

So, do you favor keeping Prescott at 37.5M AND that 10th pick or trade it to DET for Stafford and save 10-12M on the contract.

The tricky part of this is that the assumption seems to be they would use that 10-12M to help fix the defense but are we so sure of that?

I am also assuming Stafford could be signed for a contract in that neighborhood and that is pure assumption on my part. Everybody's wanting to get paid. And according to reports, there are 10 teams kicking the tires on that trade so I am not sure giving up that 10 pick would get it done.

What's your preference and this isn't another hug or hit Prescott thread, it's just about that trade and the advantages to the team.

I am for taking that deal if they'd do it. Stafford has never had the talent around him like this offense would provide and I've seen one QB with this team and I think I am ready to see another.

The interesting part of this is there just happens to be a coach on this team that faced Stafford twice a year throughout his entire career, I wonder what he thinks about this?

 

[Captain-Crash]

throw Zeke in with him or Lawerence or Jacklin smith.

 

[JBS]

Yeah let's downgrade and give up a first round pick

Great plan

Please show the young lady a little respect and spell her name correctly....it is Jaclyn.

Yup.

I do not see that as a downgrade, not even remotely or I wouldn't have started the thread. Between the two, even up, I'll take Stafford.

 

[tyke1doe]

Absolute not.

Stafford doesn't have the leadership gene. He would need a vastly improved defense to do anything here.

And he's old.

Pass.

Stafford just might become a Cowboy within the next 6-8 weeks.....
Smart move and the most important piece if we want to return to glory land!

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Boy CS, I just do not see Stafford in Prescott's class. I really don't.

Plus lose the #10 pick that's earmarked to help improve a lousy defense.

I just couldn't do it.

 

[Shinaoi]

I wanted stafford at one point but not now, we have dak

I am visibly not a Dak homer,, but no way you do that

well ok, but he isnt old just yet

 

[cowboyec]

no.
Dak is a better QB.
we can use that 10th pick on nwestern ot rashawn slater or defensive player obviously.
but i'm not down grading the most important position on the team.
#4 is the heart beat of this team.
he's south of 30 and has improved every year.
he's earned his pay day.
stafford is older...more injury prone...and hasn't elevated his team.
no thanks.
pay Dak...keep the picks...get on with team building.

But if this was prime Aikman ot Romo, would you take Stafford? Dak if healthy is in his prime.

 

[ItzKelz]

Stafford would be the best back up QB in the NFL.....

 

[kevm3]

stafford hasn't even been out of the 1st round of the playoffs and has had one of the greatest receivers of all time. Why would we give a top 10 pick away?

Then you need help. Stafford can’t beat teams with a winning record. And that’s this forums biggest gripe with Dak. Not to mention his back injuries. And his lack of personality.

 

[12+88=7]

I would rather start from scratch.

If Dallas can't sign Prescott, put the non exclusive tag on him, get two number ones, and move on.

McCarthy can then build the team. He would be totally responsible for the outcome.

You then give McCarthy two years. If by the third year the team hasn't improved, you have to go in another direction.

I know it would be like wasting years there, but something has to change from what it feels like forever.

 

[Vanilla2]

It’ll be like romos final seasons again. You think Andy will stay on As insurance

No argument about needing help and for a lot more than a QB comparison but I think Stafford is a better passer than Prescott will ever be.

I do not hold the history of DET against him as they are the CLE of the NFC. The back issue, that would be a real concern if it is problematic.

Lack of personality? Hell, I am not looking to date him. What's that got to do with anything" You think Tom Brady is Mr. Bubbly? Brees, Rodgers and Mahomes are hardly the 3 Stooges.

I really don't need help because I've watched both of these QB's play from college on and my eyes tell me Stafford is the better passer, always has been. That's why he was the #1 recruit in the country and he was a better passer at Highland Park than Prescott ever was at Miss St.

I do think it is a moot point because they will extend Prescott but it is something to discuss.
