Dak's Ceiling and Floor

[Jkyle]

Many here are concerned about overpaying for Dak.
Many are weary about paying him Top money because they have doubts of his potential to be a Super Bowl winning QB.
While Dak's ceiling is in question/debatable, I think one thing we do know is what his Floor is.
Does anyone really think that he will regress from where he is now?
With his Floor being established as what we've seen up to this point, he deserves to be paid the market rate ($30-32 Million per year avg) for Top 10 QB's.
There is the Garpalo/Carr/Cousins range ($25-28 Million) and then the Ryan,Wentz, Rodgers, Wilson ($30-34 Million).
Dak may not be deserving of the Top 5 QB range but he has clearly demonstrated that he is above the upper Top 10 Range.
He has outperformed the $25-28 level QB's. He has demonstrated his ability to win and with the talent around him improving, he looks to have a chance to excel even more.
Therefore, anything less than $32 million a year seems unlikely.

His floor and his ceiling are very close together.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Both will change when he buys his new house

His floor and his ceiling are very close together.

2016 and 2017 were pretty far apart actually.

I got the eightball, the chrystal, the mirror mirror on the wall and I still have no clue where Dak's contract will fall. If I knew I'd tell y'all but these twenty thousand threads ain't helping at all. So I'm about to have a Coke and a smile and say to hell with all y'all.

 

[Falco78]

Floor is Ryan Leaf, ceiling is Tom Brady

 

[Sydla]

Floor is Ryan Leaf, ceiling is Tom Brady

So basically he could be one of the worst QBs in the NFL or one of the greatest of all time?

That's quite a range. LOL.

 

[glimmerman]

I don’t see him getting worse.

 

[csirl]

Ceiling Steve Pelleur
Floor Babe Laufenberg

We know the floor from a conditional 4th round pick. We do not know the ceiling going into year 4 with an offense that has yet to tap into Dak’s qualities.

We will know more in year 4 than we have any other year. But since he’ll be getting paid sooner than later, we know that Dak at least trends on the winning side.

We know he’s not Brady or Rodgers. But we know he’s a player and that the team loves him! He’ll get better. This is why the ceiling cannot be measured, and why it’s stupid not to pay him.

 

[Nav22]

32-16 in 3 years with very good stats and outstanding intangibles.

I can already taste the DELICIOUS tears that will be streaming down his haters’ faces when he signs that new deal. Yummy!

Once you're above a bare minimum of physical ability, then everything else for a QB is mental. And there's kind of no way to tell how far a guy will progress mentally, or how fast they'll progress, unless they're just gratuitously stupid.

Joe Montana and Tom Brady were both bottom half of the league in terms of raw physical ability, and their ceiling ended up being "all-time greats." Some guys get up to speed mentally super fast, and some take several seasons to flip the switch so to speak.

To be honest...it's interesting conversation but we should really only be concerned about how Dak plays. Any player for that matter.

It’s very simple. If you see a Dak related thread just ignore it instead of whining like a 6 yr old.

As many as it takes to make y'all whine.

Ok? Want more?

Hello. We're talking about America's Team's QB. Shoo away. Go elsewhere. This is a Fans Forum by the way.

Dak lover you are give it a break, the only 6 year old mentality is yours.

Whine on then.

 

[BigCatMonaco]

His floor and his ceiling are very close together.

So his floor must be remarkably high, because at his best he outperforms guys like Brady and Rodgers.

I get you it AC, you Dak lovers can't help yourselves, don't agree names, insults, get out of here. Like your other sad sack buddy "Rockyport" you just can't control your urges you have for Dak. Another sad Dak post just about daily that says the same old thing, yes that's real fandom, I'll try harder to humor the mentally challenged like you and your buddy.
