I think he showed exactly that in 2016 vs GB... down 18 against Aaron Rodgers in the 2nd quarter, rallied the offense and by the end of the 4th had it tied 31-31. A Barry Church pass interferences canceled a heath Int and allowed GB to get a looong FG...Yet they still haven't seen the mental toughness from Dak that raises his team to a higher level when things aren't going well.
I like Dak and think he is great, but his history shows that he plays behind the Cowboys system, not in front of it. If things go well, he's awesome. Bu th when tough times come, he hasn't shown the ability to lead.
They should sign him- he's earned a payday. But there are still doubts as to his ability when times are tough.
I HAVE watched the last 4 seasons. From being shielded by the best o-line in the NFL, to having Zeke to draw the attention of the defenses, Dak has steadily played well but not able to lead the Cowboys through the tough times.It's like you've been asleep the past 4 seasons. Nothing you say describes the Dak Prescott that QBs for the Dallas Cowboys. Or maybe you are just unable to discern what you are seeing. No one has the same observation that you just put on record. Own it, just down believe your own BS.
This, I agree with. The only risk Dak has, in the case of waiting this out, is injury (which is always a real risk). That said, he has insurance to cover himself in that regard. Dak's betting on himself, as one with self-confidence should. As a fan I'd feel a lot better with a longer term deal, as I believe he's the real deal and will only cost a lot more down the road. Get 'er done, Jerr!For those arguing that the Cowboys should wait, and that Dak has no leverage, they are simply wrong. Dak can afford to wait this out, and it is in the Cowboys best interest to sign him now rather than wait.
if those rumors are true, im concerned with Dak still turning down this kind of money with him in a state where he has less tax, on team where he can get tons of endorsements,
Probably the sticking point. Bet they want no more that 5 years at $150M with 90% guaranteed.Dak's team should laugh an offer like that off the table. Those three backloaded years ... that's a joke, right?
for one hes only played 3 seasons, not 4 this year has just begun and with a huge bang..I HAVE watched the last 4 seasons. From being shielded by the best o-line in the NFL, to having Zeke to draw the attention of the defenses, Dak has steadily played well but not able to lead the Cowboys through the tough times.
Hence the losses each year that keep the Cowboys from being elite.
But at this point he should be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He's been there for 4 years and has not cost them games. He knows the system and protects the ball. He is a momentum driven player that plays well when the Cowboys have the momentum.
And Kellen Moore will keep his vision simple, so that he can excel.
But when times get tough- like against the Patriots, for example- will he have the mental toughness to stare down Belichick's defense and co tune to any well?

People need to stop using this. No player (or agent) cares about this at all. That is, until after they get their money on the actual contract at hand. This is just fan hopes. There is no bargaining chip significance to this whatsoever except in the minds of fans who want to see players get less.
Did you not see the great playoff game he had against the Packers his rookie season. He had better numbers than the winning QB. I suppose you think he was the reason we lost, so never mind. Arguing with someone that fights back with there own set of facts made up in their own alternative reality is futile.I HAVE watched the last 4 seasons.

My bad, nvm Dak sucks.It was actually Anthony Brown.
The "facts" are clear- the Cowboys have failed to excel under Dak to this point.Did you not see the great playoff game he had against the Packers his rookie season.

7 year, $237.975M contract extension, $110M guaranteed

What are you talking about? If anything, Dak has shown he absolutely leads this team, and he has shined when times are tough, especially during the 4th quarter & overtimes when slightly behind.Yet they still haven't seen the mental toughness from Dak that raises his team to a higher level when things aren't going well.
