Pay Mahomes like he's the best QB in the league, which he will be if he continues like this.
Dak is barely top 20, if that. You don't pay him like he's Mahomes.
Jesus my point isn't how good Dak is. I never once said he was Mahomes. I'm saying using the term "pay him like the best in the league" is pointless. You aren't paying any of these guys just because of their ranking of how good they are. You factor in age, ceiling, skill, etc. I don't care where Dak ranks in your top 20. Cowboys have to be logical when it comes to discussions. If he's barely top 20 like you stated then they shouldn't even sign him at ALL if that's the case. You sign him because he's in that tier 2 of young quarterbacks who you hope can make it to tier 1 someday. That's when the Cowboys scouting department has to earn its money in knowing his ceiling.
We get it, it's just his turn to get paid regardless that's he's a middle (15-25) level QB. I know hater, troll, stupid, (insert what ever name you and your buddies like) don't get it because it doesn't fit the narrative you want to project, but paying top money for a lower tier QB just doesn't make sense. Play him out and franchise him ,as for a trade maybe they can get their 4th back because there isn't any team stepping up to pay Dak #1 money and give up any #1 pick. Paying Dak average QB money with incentives for performance is all Dak is worth. Dak will never be a top 10 let alone 5 QB in my opinion and paying him elite money is just plain stupid. In your world and the rest of the Dak devotee's just pay the man because it's his turn not because of his performance. It is just a plain dumb way to view it.
Like I've said to others.....if you feel Dak is a lower tier qb then no you shouldn't pay him. You won't get a argument from me on that.
Dak will never be a top 10 qb? He was top 10 his rookie year lol. What are you talking about?
And since you are doing a lot of assuming what Dak is in "my world" let me make my stance very clear to you and anyone else.
Dak is a top 15 right now.
He's 26 years old. He hasn't hit his ceiling yet.
He was a top 10 qb his rookie year. He was probably top 20 his second year when injuries occurred.
He's a guy who needs a solid team around him just like any other quarterback.
In this offense he will never lead the league in passing yards.
IF there's anything else I'm missing I have no problem clarifying it for you. I'm a Dak fan like I thought we all were who are Cowboy fans. But my stance has always been you pay him what you think he's worth. If you feel he's a op 25 qb like you stated then let him go and don't waste his or our time. But if the Cowboys offered him 30 million I'm guessing they disagree with you on your expert evaluation of him.
