Not one of those QBs is better than Dak. Not one.
The point is he's not head and shoulders above them and he's asking for a boatload of money.
Not one of those QBs is better than Dak. Not one.
Right now, I'd say it'sHere are some notable FA quarterbacks coming in 2020 -
Jameis Winston
Marcus Mariota
Ryan Tannehill
Case Keenum
Teddy Bridgewater
Dak Prescott is in that class of quarterbacks. It's a buyers market for quarterbacks of Dak's caliber. Let him become a FA and pick the cheapest of the bunch and draft a quarterback high and develop him. The team can go 7-9 and 9-7 with any one of those quarterbacks without the requirement of that kind of contract.
We should be worried. Dak has shown he is not the type of QB who can without top shelf talent around him, which is fine, not many QB's are in that tier. But those that can are the one's who deserve top money. When you give all this money to Dak, you can't give it to others, you can't put the pieces around him he needs to excel.
Of course it could all just be on coaching. Hopefully we find out soon. I'm all for tagging him this off-season and seeing what next year brings.
I agree, though I think Tannehill has improved a good bit, there's probably still a gap between Dak and all of those listed.Meh. Dak has pissed me off these last 3 games, but he's better than all of those QB's. All of those QB's have been in the league longer than Dak has, and Dak still continues to improve and grow. I have yet to see improvement from the other QB's listed. Winston is still a turnover machine. Mariota is... Mariota. Tannehill is a solid starter, but I feel like he's riding off of the momentum in Tennessee. It may slow down if he stays with Tennessee next season. Keenum? Nah. Bridgewater likely stays in NO. With Brees getting older, he's a good backup/solid starter til they find another franchise QB if Brees retires. He would also be a good mentor to a rookie QB if they were to get one in the up and coming years.
Umm. Yes . He is. I would take Dak over any of those players listed and it isnt even close.The point is he's not head and shoulders above them and he's asking for a boatload of money.
The sticking point seems to be Dallas wants a long term contract over 6 yrs. Dak's team is pushing for a 4 yr deal. The agents want that guaranteed money. Dallas wants the long term deal to be able to restructure and keep him happy with more guaranteed money.
Offer 1
If i was the team i would go to Dak's team with two offers. One for 10 yrs says 350mil 100 mil guranteed. And say after yr 4 you go back and you restructure to get more guranteed money to Dak and lower the cap adding money as a signing bonus and prorating that for the final 5 yrs of the deal. In a situation like this he will never make over say 33-35mil a yr, and never really cripples the cap especially the way the cap is going up.
Offer 2
4yrs 120mil fully guaranteed. Dak will make a ton of money in 4 yrs and be at a lower yrly avg then Wentz and Goff and Wilson but will make his money and with the ability to score again in 4 yrs. In that time Dallas could find his eventual replacement if hes not still producing. In 4 yrs he would make 4mil less then what Romo made his entire career.
he has more power than Dallas right now because you waited. He can just say ‘give me exactly what I want or I’m not signing any franchise tender.’
losing a year for a QB is nothing like Leveon Bell losing a year. He’ll be in ship shape ready for his release. Or more likely you’ll trade him and get pennies on the dollar for a franchise QB.
why is committing to him with real money so difficult? Draft a new QB an start over on a 5 year plan? Give him his money, you can afford it and he’s earned it
Umm. Yes . He is. I would take Dak over any of those players listed and it isnt even close.
Why dont you ask any GM in the NFL if they would rather have Tannehill or Dak Prescott and you can go cry in a corner when you get laughed out of the building.Well let's ask a non Cowboys fan homer and see what they think.
I agree, though I think Tannehill has improved a good bit, there's probably still a gap between Dak and all of those listed.
Plus, Tannehill is already over 30. Surprised me when I looked it up.
Winston is the youngest (25) and is the most gifted passer, but the dude just makes so many poor decisions.
Well let's ask a non Cowboys fan homer and see what they think.
IDK why fans and media are so impatient for news on a deal. Both sides said before the season started there probably wouldnt be a deal done until after the season. Same with Cooper.
Dak is 6-7 anyone can do that!Dak is better then each of those quarterbacks and it is not close.
Umm. Yes . He is. I would take Dak over any of those players listed and it isnt even close.
lol. Wow. IN todays market. Any competent GM would give dak 30-35 million. Period.But is Dak worth 25 to 35 million more than what those other quarterbacks would command?
In the open market, most certainly not.
So spend 10 million on those quaterbacks (or Dak when his demands align with his value) and use the other 20 million to make the team better.
Nothing has changed.No they didnt, Jerry has said repeatedly throughout the season that a deal was 'imminent'. It was specifically stressed after the team was 3-1 and Dak was dominating. Something has happened in negotiations since then to change his mind.
lol. Wow. IN todays market. Any competent GM would give dak 30-35 million. Period.
If you are seriously arguing that those QBs listed are of equal value of Dak there is no helping you.Like who?
