Opinion: Dak will Make Over 25M

[charron]

Then add Dak to the list of overpaid cowboys. The future of mediocrity is here! Wish he'd take abrady deal with bonuses for playoff wind.

 

[Flamma]

What logical evidence have you seen that tells you the team won’t pay this man 28+?

Stop believing what you want to happen and actually use some critical thinking skills to see what will happen. Reality is going to hit some of you like a truck and you’re gonna be blowing up this forum with “We overpayed Dak” threads. Just accept it now and make it easier on yourselves, sheesh.

People here have no control over what team management decides to do. We only make predictions based on the situation. Also keep in mind that there has to be a market to get market value. You tell me what teams are in the market for a starting qb, then take two of them away because they'll probably get one in the draft.

What logical evidence do I have to not pay him 28m+ besides what i already mentioned? Transition tag him. It's no more complicated than that. All Dallas has to do is match highest offer. And guess what? No way on this God's green earth is a team offering him that.

 

[StuckMojo]

I would wait and see how he performs under the new OC. But in the end he will get overpaid because that’s what happens with QBs.

 

[JayFord]

Jerry’s TOTALLY all-in on Dak...so lemme see here...

6yrs / $180mil (4yrs / $120mil guaranteed)...book it!

“How ya like us now, Kirk Cousins?”

6 years 180 million?

Dak don’t play for the Yankees

 

[Silver N Blue]

Look, yes you need some talent to throw the ball to but, what and who does Brady have??? Good QB's throw WR's open and find the seams to hit the target.
Dak is marginal because his accuracy and mechanics are severely lacking at this point. Will Dak ever be in the class of Brady or Brees? doubt it!

Exactly the point D.

Lol if you think I'm the open market he wouldn't get 28m at least, you haven't been paying attention to how NFL contracts work . This is Romo all over again . People freaking out over his and saying no one would give him that except us. Lol not even close to true.

Dak will get at least 25m. People throw out this 20m and I have no clue where they are getting that number from.

 

[DIAF]

No matter what you all think about Dak Prescott, just look at the recent contracts given out to starting QBs in the NFL, especially those in Dak's tier (which right now is in the QB15-20 range).

Derek Carr got 25m AAV.

Jimmy G got 27,5 AAV.

That's about what Dak is going to get.

Does this mean that we won't be able to find money for Zeke? Maybe. But we should never pay running backs, no matter WHO they are. Just look at the Todd Gurley news from this AM.


You guys throwing out 18-22 mil a year are kidding yourselves. That's Case Keenum money.

 

[Mobinvans]

I find it humorous that you hate your team's QB so much that you selectively include and exclude stats to paint a picture you want to see.

Go take your butt to the Eagles' board and root for Wentz.

I live in the real world,.I dont blindly root for players who happen to be Cowboys

 

[817Gill]

You: He will get $25m because of Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan.
Me: He won't get that much because of actual comps and the franchise amount.
You: Emotional nonsense and repeat self without acknowledging rebuttals.

You're boring. If nothing new last word is yours.

Again man it’s simple.

Trying to attach some logical case to why he shouldn’t get the money is moot.

Some things are and some things are not, regardless of reason.

Jerry and Stephen love the kid and he wants to get paid.

So he’ll get paid.

Simple as that.

Even if you think it’s not warranted.

You don’t make the decisions.


Jerry will sign the mans check.


And it will be 25M+

Simple

No emotion just reality.

Btw since when did Jerry make decisions based solely on logic and not have emotion play a role?

The answer is never lol, Daks getting paid whether you like it or not haha

 

[817Gill]

You must have slept through 17 and he threw more to just Thompson.

Oh the season where a 35 yo TE and a double teamed slot WR were your targets?

Isn’t that the same season the coaches made the most classic JG/SL move and let Chaz Green break the season?

You can’t honestly tell me you expected a 2nd year QB to do it all himself right?

Like you honestly think that another QB woulda taken a team with so little offensive talent and athleticism anywhere past 9-7/10-6?

Also the first half of 2017 the man was a top 7 statistical guy and had 3 straight 3 passing TD games and some 300 yd performances as well.


Btw this is how teams evaluate guys for 2nd contracts. They don’t take blanket stats or 6 game sample sizes to decide whether a guy can play or not. They actually dissect the good and bad to see where the players really stand. If you honestly believe the 2nd half of 2017 was the sole product of Dak then that would be irrational.

 

[eastsideboy]

Doesn't hurt Dak's agent's argument at all. I have no argument on this subject.

I thought they paid him all that money to get to the superbowl? They didn't even make the playoffs. At some point the money has to count for something. You don't get payed that mutch to just play. They could have paid me 1 millon and i would have helped them NOT get to the playoffs.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

The market might set it but, the FO doesn't have to pay it for a marginal QB at best.

Well Minnesota just did. Now I agree that the Cowboys can simply move on from Dak. Maybe even trade him. But who is replacing him?

Like it or not like it Cousins reset the market for QB's. So as much as we can say he sucks and did nothing to deserve the contract; his accomplishments no matter how good or bad is the benchmark for starting QB's. Those facts means that Dak is a 25-30 million dollar QB. It is what it is.

Brady has Edelman who is perfect for him and considerably better than Beasley.
He has the best scoring TE in history.



Everyone harps on daks inaccuracy.
At literally every depth on the field he is above average in completion percentage.

He makes less % of off target throws than Brady too.
Not fewer total because he throws less, a lower percentage of his passes are off target.

I mean, Brees didn’t throw more than 20 something TDs until he was an 8 year starter.

I guess we'll find out.

 

[Verdict]

Let's assume, hypothetically, that Dak is the 10th best QB in the NFL. What would the 10th highest contract for a QB look like, specifically?

 

[Verdict]

Whatever his market value is, he's under contract for 2mil this year, with his pay for play bounce from the league.

Extend his contract 1 year for the franchise tag price, splitting the tag price plus 2mil over two years.

That would be a fair deal for Prescott and the franchise and give Dak something he doesn't already have, for giving up nothing, really. So it's more than fair to Dak.

The team should know what they plan on doing with Prescott by now. If they plan on extending him anyway, no matter what, it is cheaper to do it now than later.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

market value, and then offering up 32 million on the high end...

Usually very good to elite quarterbacks get top end money. Dak is not that quarterback. If Dak can get 28m then Mahomes should easily get 100 million a year. It's like comparing Rosie O'Donnel to Shakira. Besides that, you can count the teams on one hand that need a starting QB. Two of those teams will take one in the draft, who's left? I agree that last year he would have commanded a bigger contract because there were more teams in the market for starters.
