News: PFT: Dak Prescott: Everyone can get theirs with salary cap trending up

[kskboys]

That’s not a resounding endorsement .

If you've paid attention, you haven't seen one from me. We do not know what Dak will/can become. Many are pretending to know and proclaiming him as great or horrible, but we do not know at present. I am fearful of us giving Dak a huge contract because we do not know.

Don't buy into the crapp floating around about Dak. He has shown both good and bad, and is a few tweaks away from being top 10. Can he make those tweaks? Who knows. Tough to change something you've been doing all your life. Tebow couldn't. Leftwich couldn't. Vick couldn't, even though he succeeded in a major way for the 6 games that he changed the way he played.

You are searching for a nice little package of surety, and there is none at this point.

 

[kskboys]

At this point our choices are limited because we are All In on Dak and have been.

It doesn’t mean better decisions could have been made leading up to this placing us in a less vulnerable situation.

And I have no problem paying Dak. How much and how long is the bigger issue.

I do disagree that we had all these options. I really haven't seen a viable option that was reachable w/o hamstringing the franchise.

 

[kskboys]

It will generate a huge amount of interest from people who don’t necessisarlly watch football. More viewers, more commercial money.

Not only that, if you legalize it, a horde of gamblers old and new will parttake and create a revenue storm the likes of which any pro sport has never seen.

 

[DallasEast]

I still think and have always thought that the cowboys will pay Dak and it will be a huge sum of money they will also pay cooper and smith and more than likely zeke

Yep. I have said the same thing since 2017.

Jerry Jones did not jettison one franchise quarterback without considering he had already acquired another franchise quarterback to take the other's place. Some people do not believe Prescott is a franchise quarterback. Their opinion is fine and completely irrelevant. What Jones believes is the only important thing. And Jones is going to pay Prescott to solidify his opinion.

In the last 3 years we haven’t drafted or pursued any QB’s who might have provided serious competition . I’d consider that All In. And simply waiting for Pay Day despite all of these concerns which have been raised.

I’d agree but we’re fixing to make him one of the highest paid QB’s in the league which I don’t recall any of those others becoming or maintaining with possibly the exception of Vick who had much more raw athletic ability. Didn’t he win MVP one season leading Falcons to championship game?

I’m not saying it won’t pan out. I’m just providing warning signs in the event it doesn’t . Just because we don’t have any other options at this time doesn’t mean we cant critique placing ourselves in this situation. This is a fan forum after all not the War Room. Lol

 

[HungryLion]

I've never seen Dak in any commercial. I dont live in a Cowboys stronghold, so I assume that he does not have the widespread appeal beyond Cowboys/Dak fans that other sports stars have. Those of you in Texas may be over estimating his marketing reach.

I live near Philadelphia and have seen him in a bunch.

And for someone who has so many concerns you’re certainly aligning yourself more with those who aren’t concerned with over paying or his future with the Cowboys.

I don’t think he’s horrible. I just don’t think he’s what some are claiming we should pay him. I also think we shouldn’t have been All In initially. That’s another argument on how Jerry handled the situation from the beginning.

But we have so many fans who fell for Dak head over heels during his Rookie season proclaiming him as our future without any hesitation despite the concerns that have followed since. I’m somewhere in the middle and not afraid to call out the potential decisions on the table however unpopular they might be.

I’m not a Dak hater. Im a critic much like I was with Romo and every aspect of Cowboys Football. I bought gear his Rookie season and was excited too initially but when we start proclaiming paying near the upper echelons of QB’s in the NFL I’m getting on the rooftop and waving warning flags.

The real dink and dunkers

 

[lukin2006]

And what happens if he asks for 35 and you say no? Do you start trading away players in the rebuild? Maybe go with Blake Bortles until you finally hit on another QB? You need him way more than he needs you. He’ll find his money on the open market.

What I do not like about Dak is that he is talking about it...shut up and play and let Jones and you agent work with it...if he wants too much...then let him walk...

 

[Jake]

Jerry and the Cowboys are gonna make money till the end of time..... no matter who is playing QB.

Go another 10-20 years without a Super Bowl appearance see what happens. We've already got a generation of football fans who have never seen the Cowboys play in one.

 

[erod]

The real dink and dunkers

Uh, yeah, because they've throw a lot more passes, period, and their "run game" involves a lot of bubble screens, which are essentially long hand-offs.

Learn. The. Game.

I have a wife and 4 daughters. 1 of the 5 is a very serious fan, the other 4 are casual, but they are all Cowboys fans. fandom is passed on in families, and that happens no matter if a team is winning a SB or not. Now for teams like......oh, lets say the Colts, Id agree. Their fans will remain in the area they play except if they win a few like the pats did, then their fandom will go uo and down, but the Cowboys fans are simply too many and too spread out over the country to matter. The rules that apply to other teams dont so much apply with the Cowboys.

The Browns are finally gonna get some tv time this year. in 2015 we stunk, did that hurt the number of times we were on tv the following year? How about 3 straight 8-8 seasons recently. Did that hurt the number of times were were on tv? it has already been.. going on 25 years since our last SB win... go watch the Cowboy play in Tamp Bay and see if you would know that by the number of Cowboys fans. Did you see the Cowboys Ram in LA last year? I was there and at least 70% or more was Cowboys fans, and I am not even close to exagerating.

 

[baltcowboy]

That’s the thing. We really don’t know if or what he’s been offered.

I agree. Tough to believe he’d turn down 28 million for example. I understand we have to pay our QB but if you look at where he ranks amongst NFL QB’s it’s difficult to rank him higher than near the middle of the pack which would mean in the 20’s million a year range.

I’d be real curious to see what he’d get in the open market . My hunch it’d be no more if not less than what a Foles fetched. Im not sure Prescott’s skill sets fits everyone’s offense or is as attractive overall to everyone else as it is to us.

I am interested in seeing what happens. To Daks credit he seems to be positive. Hopefully it does not turn ugly. I have said in other posts that he hired the best agents to get this deal done. I don't want a hard bargain but this could be a mess.

I see you tucked your tail and ran in the other thread lmao.

This is referring to Dak

Lowest in the league in 2017 lmao.

I would just tuck your tail and run again, these exchanges always end poorly for you.

I still havent gotten your PayPal payment to me

Btw 3 of those players listed had less attempts than Dak lmao. Talk about not knowing what you're talking about

 

[cern]

It’s up to everyone to decipher the noise in these forums. As a fan and critic I’m not obliged to come up with solutions.

I don’t need to know how to diagnose a car to know it needs service or know how to run a restaurant to know it was poor service or product.

We can see there are issues and concerns with a football team without knowing how to fix it.

But in this case I’d suggest we shouldn’t have been All In from the onset especially after 2017. I’ll admit after 2016 it was looking more promising but we shouldn’t ever be so dug in we aren’t able to redirect. We had other options but chose not to use them. That’s how I see it and will express as such.

And as usual when some don’t agree with opposing opinions they become frustrated and fall victim to attacking the messenger with insults attempting to discredit sincre they don’t like message.. which is juvenile.

nning
I have never started a thread trying to justify my stance on anything like you did with your perception of stephen is running the cowboys thread. talk about trying to prove a point. you said you hoped Stephen would play hardball with dak. and do what? let him walk. turn it over to white or rush? they're both cheaper, to be sure. I at least attempt to buttress my opinions with facts. you don't have to agree.

 

[Brax]

Got it. So since you’re directing it to a group, and since you didn’t make up the term. It’s not you insulting anyone....

You do realize those are really poor excuses and deflecting of blame right? Don’t take this as an insult, but I would expect a more mature answer from somebody your age.

Meanwhile, that term you like to throw around, is for the purpose of doing EXACTLY what you complained about in the post I quoted. Which is using a personal insult, to attack people and be dismissive of them, because you don’t like their opinion about the QB. Because of course, you must be a slobberer if you like the QB and think he is a good player. It’s a clear and obvious attempt to discredit highly positive opinions about Dak. But here you are complaining about somebody else doing the same thing you’ve been doing on multiple
Threads. So go ahead and play victim to somebody else saying something you perceived as insulting.

are you a "Dak slobberer" ?, and if so you really don't take offense do you? come on tell the truth.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Letting him walk will cripple it more. You’re delusional if you think you can just get another Dak, a 13 win rookie to replace him. How do you think Amari will feel if you let him know you’ll be starting White or Rush for a few years until another 3rd, 4th, 5th round qb pans out? How will Tyron Smith feel about that? Potential Incoming free agents?

Teams will pay Dak if you do not. Despite popular belief, there aren’t that many teams that have QB situations they wouldn’t abandon immediately when he becomes available.

And you know that how??

Tell me how Kansas City letting Alex smith walk crippled them?


Lol @ a 13 win rookie.

He was one of the worst starting QBs in Franchise history when Zeke and Tyron missed a few games.

See I can play that game as well


Like I said, paying this guy $30m a year will cripple this Franchise. Not only will the contract cripple us, the time wasted on the primes of Zeke, Amari, Tank, etc.

 

[Kingofholland]

Dumb.

Why? You don't believe in rewarding for performance?

Clearly he's going to get paid regardless, but wouldn't you feel better giving out a massive contract after he just delivered your team a Super Bowl?

Yes but I deal in reality and this has no chance of happening.
