Oh I went to the NFL article in question. That the OP seriously misquoted.


The ranking was for the QB’s 2020 season. In which Dak only played 4.5 games.

not the QB’s overall ranking amongst starting QB


So even the article itself doesn’t say Dak is the 16th best QB in the league. Which the OP neglected to mention or just flat out chose not to.

Of course, I've noticed that the same kind of logic the OP used is used by fans on here concerning free agents. If a player was bad last year because of injury, then he's a bad player, according to the logic.

We're assuming that Prescott comes back and picks up where he left off or even gets better. I don't think that's a faulty assumption. I'm not sure what it's worth contractwise, though. Generally, when players have a bad or injury-plagued season, it does lower their value some. It doesn't mean they are going to play poorly, just that there is some slight risk that they won't bounce back and be as good.

To the point where I don't care where all the blame is shifted to. Or accountability acknowledged or not by the other phases such as having a defense, running game/oline or whatever factors that apply to the know it all QB evaluators here clinging to their TEAM sport mantra ONLY when their individual specific narrative agendas arent met.

He's 9-11 in his last 20 starts.
Under 2 different coaches. Pre and post pandemic. A win against a 2019 playoff Eagles imposter and a 2019 Rams non playoff team are the only 2 good wins in those 20 starts. His win-loss record and TD to Int ratio against good teams is awful.

Bout it.

But yeah, 40 mil.

How much do you think Deshaun Watson is worth?

No particular order
Mahomes
Rodgers
Brady
Wilson
Allen
Watson
Jackson
Stafford


Dak
Cousins
Goff
Etc
Etc

While I think Dak is better then cousins, Goff and Wentz he still hasn't shown anything to bump him up to the level of the other tier.

The article on NFL ranks Dak at exactly #16

Some of you want to pay the 16th ranked QB 40 million dollars a year crippling this teams chances of doing anything meaningful for atleast 4 more years

please explain....
Yo didn't attach a link

The last two larger sample size rankings I saw for him were 12th and 18th......fwiw.
This was only 4 writers voting, so the sample size is small.

I generally see him around 12-14 but I can see some going higher (9 or 10?) or lower.
At some point its just personal preference.

Becuz a QB with an injury like this is going to take more than a season to get back his skills.

So like this past season we want to sink our assets again into a guy who is more doubtful than ever to make us contenders.

Jerrah has been having a wet dream over Dak for 5 years...its lame as heck.

Sad way to run a professional football team.

Parr: Prescott was on pace to shatter the single-season passing yards record before a gruesome ankle injury robbed him of a chance to make history. The small sample size is probably the only thing keeping him from ending up higher on this list.
Yes but he was 1-3 in those games. If you are going to pay him $40 million a year he needs to elevate the players around him even with a bad defense. He can't win games on his own like other top level Qbs around can. He needs people surrounding him to be elite. Signing him will cripple us for competing especially with the salary cap going down. Dak Haters would say.

He was on pace to break single season passing records and would probably take us to the playoffs despite the defense. He was rookie of the year 4 years ago. He has improved every year. He is unquestionably the team leader and where else will you find a qb like him. Look how long it took for us to find a good qb like Romo after Aikman retired. Dak supporters would say.

I think I cover some of the arguments on both sides. I just want him and the FO to come together and hammer out a fair and reasonable contract that both sides will be happy.

16? Wow that's a stretch. Do YOU personally have 15 qbs you can honestly put in front of him?

I've got:
Mahomes
Rodgers
Brady
Wilson
Allen
Dak
Herbert
Watson
Murray
Jackson
Stafford
Car
Ryan
Goff
Tanny

Off the top of my head I've got him conservatively 6-10. Thats not a Dak fan boy ranking or a hater. Many of those are interchangeable. In any event Dak is probably 5-8.

Yes I'd pay him, because he seems to improve each year and I dont believe he's the type that will get paid and get lazy. Also because drafting a QB is a crap shoot and we have a ton of offensive talent. Imagine a world where we had a decent defense. With the current structure of the league most QBs are in the AFC now. This is the perfect time to make a run in the NFC.

Where are Burrow and Rothlisberger?

Anyway, looking at the numbers, Dak's QB rating after 5 games was 99.6, or good for 11th in the league. Passing yards per game was an astounding 371.2 which would have put him in first in that category by 55 yards per game over Mahomes!! He threw 9 TDs which over 16 games would amount to about 28.8 TDs, again good for 11th in the league. And he threw 4 INTs which in 16 games would be about 12.8 INTs, 6th worst in the league.

So where does that put Dak? I have no idea but I think it would be fair to say he is in the top 10. But the thing is, the guys at the top, right now are at a different level than Dak. Even if you have him at 5, he is not close to the 4 guys ahead of him. He is just not as good as they are. So what do you pay him? Less than those 4 guys are getting.
