Would you trade him for Dak?

[JBell]

Carr is better right now....

But Dak is further along right now than any of those QB's were in their rookie season.

 

[CF74]

Y

 

[erod]

Give me Andrew Luck and you got a deal

Derek Carr is a better player than Luck. Prescott very well may be, too. Luck is overrated.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Carr for sure. Mariota may be a toss up for me. Nobody else on that list intrigues me.

I love what Dak is doing here in Dallas. The leadership, the poise, the accuracy, decision making, etc, etc. I firmly believe he's the future. We have not seen this type of excitement for a young player, especially at QB, in a long time here in Dallas.

But I want to change the conversation a little and look at some hypotheticals which involve the other young QB's in the league. A would you trade Dak right now for QB X or QB Y.

We have spent countless hours debating Dak vs. Romo or Dak vs. Wentz. but lets compare Dak versus the careers of some of the QBs around his age (23). Most of these guys have more experience than Dak but with varied results. A few guys were top 5 picks. This is just for fun and conversation sake.

Dak Prescott - Age 23. 4th round pick. Rookie year. 3-1 as a starter. Stepping up for a team that desperately needed quality QB play after losing their starter for the 2nd season in a row. 3 Tds and 0 ints.

Would you trade Dak for any of these guys?

Jameis Winston- Age 22. 2nd year. Former Heisman trophy winner and National Champion. #1 overall pick. Over 4,000 passing yards and 22 Td's as a rookie. 7-13 so far as a starter in the NFL.

Marcus Mariota- Age 22. 2nd year. #2 Overall pick. 2,800 passing yards and 19 Td's as a rookie. 4-12 as a starter.

Derek Carr- Age 25. 3rd year. 2nd Round Pick. Has improved stats each year. 3,200 yards and 21 Tds as a rookie to almost 4,000 yards and 32 Td's in his second season. Carr is lighting it up in his 3rd season 9 Td's to 1 int. 13-23 as a starter on a much improved Raiders team

Blake Bortles- Age 24. 3rd season. #3 Overall pick. Big jump from season 1 to season 2. Threw for 2,900 yards and 11 Tds rookie year but broke out with a 4,400 and 35 Td season in year 2. Interception prone with 41 career ints. Hard to praise him or fault him for his stats due to playing on such a bad team that is always throwing the ball. 9-25 as a starter.

Jimmy Garapolo- Age 24. 3rd season. 2nd round pick. Very limited stats in 13 games played, but has looked like a future star in his short time. Coached by Belichick and the under-study of Brady has to give him an edge on the field.

Before the year started it might have been a no-brainer to trade our 4th round pick for any those guys. But now you've seen him on the field. You've seen him play great with a star on his helmet. He's the future. Would you trade him for another teams future at QB?

I am a huge Carr fan...the dude throws one of the prettiest balls in the league and is athletic...great vision, too.

I would take that trade RIGHT NOW...not sure I will feel the same by season's end.

 

[visionary]

That is a tough one and the fact that it is tough for most of us tells us how good Dak has been

 

[Craig]

Winston and carr yes. Mariota if it were at the same point in the contract. If i can get carr only 4 games into his rookie contract ill throw in a pick.

Very happy with Dak though. Behind this line I think he could be as good as any of them this year.

 

[Nightman]

Winston is regressing
Mariota hasn't shown much
Carr is good but is getting over-rated.....I like Dak's running game
Bortles and Garapplo no way

"I like Dak"

 

[CosmicCowboy]

NO WAY!! Dak, is the real deal!!!

 

[Doomsday]

I would take Carr over Dak right now, but that is the only player on that list I would.

Winston would be intriguing but its hard to tell if his ints are because of a poor oline etc or just bad decisions / throws. Plus I like Dak's poise and maturity more.

 

[ghst187]

Give me Winston nd Carr over Dak

You have to be kidding on Winston.

 

[WillieBeamen]

You have to be kidding on Winston.

Why would I be kidding? Because hes thrown a lot of interceptions? He's asked to do far more in the passing game than Dak, and has gone up against some good defenses so far.

 

[Animosity]

Maybe Carr, but it would still be hard. I like what Daks doing here

 

[Nightman]

Maybe Carr, but it would still be hard. I like what Daks doing here

Plus this is Carr's third year and he will be a FA in 2018

Dak won't be a FA until 2020

 

[Oh_Canada]

Carr maybe.

Jimmy G I am a fan of since I also took him in Risen Star's draft a few years back, but you can never tell with the Patriots who could make Drew Henson look good.

No one else on that list interests me at all.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

no

Id trade him for one of these though

Rogers, Cam, Russell, Luck

Hell No!

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Probably none of them. I don't think any of the young QBs are incredibly special. I like Carr and Winston more than any of them, but I don't think they're that special. I think Bortles and Mariotta are overrated. Wentz is the only one I'd consider. He might actually be something special, and he's also a rookie. Just not sure if he's a better fit for Dallas than Dak, although he might ultimately be the better QB. The other guys I don't think will be better QBs.

 

[erod]

Carr behind this line and with this running game.....that would be special. He really gets the ball up the field well.

But Dak might be that in a year or two as well. We'll see.

 

[Shuff]

Winston or Carr, but I am not complaining, Dak is very good.

 

[ShiningStar]

as long and as profound as i can make it. nope.

Right now, those guys have as good as or better teams that are helping. Dak has lots of room to rise. Hes got chemistry with this team already. Id keep everything as is and ride this wave.
