After Stephan comments about Dak needing to sign team friendly deal and Dak on record as saying there will be no discount...an impasse is coming. Rather than get into issue of is Dak good or not, what could Cowboy get in trade if long term deal can't be agreed upon.
Note:
Denver received TWO 1st & 3rd for Jay Cutler
Cincy received 1st & 2nd for Carson Palmer
Eagles received 1st & 4th round pick for Sam Bradford.
If your Stephan, what would you need back in trade?
Note: this is not to get into large debate about if Dallas should or shouldn't do this but merely an exercise in what you think his current trade value is.
I understand a level of frustration with Dak but his W-L is pretty incredible for his first 3 years and one as a rookie. He’s not great yet but he’s quite good. You can pick apart the game of about every starting QB not named Brady, Roth, Brees, or Rodgers (all BTW are first ballot HOFers and one is easily the GOAT). Bill Parcells would love Dak. He rarely turns the ball over and that alone, along with a good D will win you a ton of games. The biggest problem with trading Dak is its REALLY hard to find a quality starting QB. Plenty of can’t miss top of the draft guys who are busts so that’s a huge risk and the only other option is taking a journeyman and hoping they somehow turn into Cinderella in your system, which almost never rarely happens unless you have a system so ingenius like Bill Walsh that it requires a unique skill set. (Pretty sure we have no ingenuity on our staff)
I firmly believe we can win big with Dak and the talent we have. Dak has won a lot of games and performed in the clutch. Ours coaches have not. It wasn’t Dak unable to figure out how to block a barely above average DE in Atlanta with Tyron out. It wasn’t Dak that couldn’t stop the Rams backup RB going for a million yards.
