Video: Jerry Jones made a 50 million dollar mistake

[rnr_honeybadger]

I think there's too much focus on Dak or no Dak while there are several holes on this team.

I'm also not sure who these bad teams are that win only because of the QB. That's a myth.

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks this year were not too shabby. Not really a team that is stacked with talent especially their Defense of late isn't what it used to be.

The transformation to a Cincinnati type organization will be complete if Dakota ends up elsewhere.

And what are we with Dak? Have we won anything or been anything other than Cincinnati like with Dak?

 

[DandyDon1722]

Yesssss...

Zoners finally starting to see it..


So many bad contracts already and a QB that doesn’t impact the outcomes of games wanting elite QB money.

Either avoid this or sign ourselves into mediocrity. Those are now the options.

Yep. I like Dak but it’s a bottom line business and he’s 6-11 his last 17 games.

That’s just not a 40 million plus correlation and he loses pieces around him he desperately needs.

i listened to that BS read it on blogs its not even half true..

dak and his agents were not going to signa low ball deal even 3 years ago..show me the freaking proof? did you see an article where dak and his agent went to Jones and said " ill take 27 if you sign me now and will sign 5 year deal like others have on they offered dak deals 2 years ago last year and now here we are, they garret signed because both sides cant bend enough..Dak and hos agent and seemingly his brother had plan to get elite money from the moment he finished his rookie campaign thats my gut..

all this bs Jerry made mistake, really, i believe Jerry and Stephen know exactly whats going on and decided this was best..if you signed dak after his 3rd year he would have already had his hand out again, that means instead of his 2mil per year in 208 and 2019 it would have been 28-30 mil hmm theres 60 mil right there and im betting 2021 he would want renegotiate after seeing all these bigger deals..

he didn't lose 50 he saved 60 and last years salary also lower then what he was asking, sounds like savings to me..sure now the deals have been going up but IMO daks pan was just this break the market or Tag out and see what happens..

I like how media and fans believe somehow jerry and Stephen got blindsided by tis and made mistake, i say bunch of hooie they know exactly whats been going on and are not surprised nor do they feel they made mistake,. If tye did they would have caved last offseason or why no deal now ? they can negotiate now cant they why keep it lingering if they were worried one bit??

nah common sense say those billionaires are playing their hand out and see whos bluffing, they know full well what they have been doing..

almost time to

CALL.

I agree a team can't win with only a QB. But if you took away Tom Brady from the Bucs or Rodgers from the Packers or Wilson from the Hawks then those teams would be below average. That's what I was referring to. Those QBs take their teams to another level.

So is Dak the type of QB to take a team to another level or does he need everything going well in order to succeed. That's the 40 million dollar question.

Seriously. Dak and Daltons numbers are identical. DAL already is CIN. Right now. Today.

Im trying my best to see it.

I definitely think there is more upside with Lance but I think Fields has a high floor and I’ve yet to see something that screams NFL to me in terms of Lance throwing the football.

His projection, to me, is based 100% on his athleticism.

He’s tough for me to project.

This might be because you don’t know anything about how to evaluate quarterbacks.

 

[Praxit]

..lol...gee whizz. Couple of weeks ago it was mentioned contract talks were going well. ..Might want to thank Zeke and Jaylon for setting the tone. Big pay day, 20% output. Now Jerry is feeling the pinch.

 

[Diehardblues]

When JG left so should have Dak. Start over already, stop delaying it.

Starting over doesn’t fall into Jethro’s “ relative and interesting “ priorities.

 

[Big_D]

How the hell does his price tag keep going up? He was tagged, didn't finish the year and had a horrific injury. Be flat out stupid to pay him top dollar after that. Time for this team team to move on.

 

[jaythecowboy]

the only people doing that were either on heavy medication or worked for the Cowboys PR arm. No one with an ounce of sense looks at this team as being able to make it to the playoffs let alone compete for a Super Bowl.

The Cowboys were one game from the playoffs with all the injuries. The Cowboys would have waltzed into the playoffs with a health Dak and oline. How they would have done in the playoffs is a different story.

Once you reach the franchise tag stage you are competing against the tag. The player has little incentive to sign any amount less than the tag (especially at qb). If the Cowboys are willing to let him hit free agency because of the injury that's one thing, but if they want him to stay it will cost at least the tag amount.

But the tag is a top 5 deal. A long term contract isn't and doesn't have to be at this point. I don't think he's worth the tag at all as of right now. Time to move on. It looks like he's pricing himself out of town!

The reports are Dak will likely get tagged again so he hasn't priced himself out yet. That being said, it seems like Dak will have to take a hometown discount to actually stay in Dallas. Contrary to what some believe, Dak will make big money if he hits the open market. If not Watson money, then close to it.

He could be another teams poor decision. Look at Cousins, Goff, Wentz, Stafford. on and on it goes. We need more examples of poor decision to not actually make this one? Next year you could add Watson to that list. Jerry's a complete buffoon if he tags him, specially coming off a very serious injury.

were and 8-8 clown show cash cow. The bengals are a 4-12 or worse clown show.

If they tag him with the intention of not signing him long term than they should do a tag and trade. So if they tag him to let him play this year to see of the ankle is healthy and have no plans to sign a long term deal then they are more stupid than I thought. If Dak leaves then we need to trade him and not let him go. If they are not committed to signing him long term than they should tag and trade him. Signing him to a one year deal and risking him walking away without getting anything for him is really bad management.

I don't think Cousins or Stafford were bad decisions. Both have consistently been top 10-15 and Stafford just got traded for 2 1sts and Goff. Goff and Wentz aren't really the same situation imo because they both got paid as soon as the teams had the opportunity to pay them. Meanwhile Dak has played two years without a long-term deal. If I'm not mistaken Goff and Wentz haven't even hit their new money yet and the teams are trying to get rid of them. Had the Cowboys paid Dak after 2018, he would be on year 3 of a new deal and the Cowboys likely could get rid of him with little to no guaranteed money. Instead they are still trying to figure out whether to give him a big deal two years later.

Possibly.

Dak this.

Dak that.

The defense sucks. Built the damn defense and this team gets better automatically.
