CBS: Dak and projected 2020 franchise tag of $32.5M

[Blackrain]

Wins aren't a QB stat. Completion % doesn't equal accuracy. QB rating is junk. Who cares about more rushing yards is he a RB? Rushing tds? Again is he a RB? Good for him to have more stats than everybody in his class but what did that get us this year? Also when you're a top QB you're not compared to just your class dope but all qb's and we know Dak is average compared to all qb's. Get off your bender knee to see your football crush is average. Like I said if your football iq is soo high why are you on here and not working for a nfl team? Guarantee your offline life doesn't reflect your high football iq so stop trying to front because you googled some stats Zo.

No facts to support your opinion .

Jerry Jones, and other owners, make hundreds of millions of dollars each year for sitting in a box watching a game. They are not taking the beating; they are not taking decades off their own lives; they are simply watching the game. If I have to choose between players and owners in terms of whose side I take in that fight, I will take the players every time because they are at least having to work for the money they get and actually having to make a sacrifice. Whether its too much or not is not really a concern of mine because its all proportional to what the league makes and the league makes as much because the owners are making more money than they could ever hope to spend.

You are thinking with emotion instead of logic. Money in the owner pockets go back into the product. Money going into the players pocket doesn't go back into the product. The product is football. Players making less money doesn't affect the product on the field. 78% of NFL players go broke after their career end. A complete waste of money. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/1-in-6-nfl-players-go-bankrupt/

This is why you get a Greg Roman type of coach and don't pay stupid contracts to QBs.

so when LJ comes due to get paid they cut him LMAO...if he wins MVP and goes deep in the playoffs in his second season roman will be all but forgotten and like all players that have had star power the Ravens will Pay , ie like they did with their last qb who wasn't much better then Dak..

Flacco was an above average qb at best and broke the bank , one great season they paid , he had great coach, great defense, etc etc they still paid him and they will pay Jackson, your point is flawed...

so Far guys like Carr, goof, wentz, and Garppolo got huge dals and they are all in a similar tier as dak..

Not sure you've been paying attention but many qbs on daks level ie maybe above average and thats it, got paid huge$$$....

so dont claim we are the franchise to start this wen its been happening..

Don't care. Pay him. It doesn't matter until we get a coach.

This is thing about Dak. If you decide to move away from him, you now have to go into QB search mode and that is a daunting difficult task. We were spoiled with Romo and to a degree Dak but for each one of them there are 10 Quincy Carter's. Anyone remember those days? How about some Chad Hutchinson? That gap between Aikman and Romo was brutal.

So you have to ask yourself can you win with Dak if he has top shelf talent around him? Would a better defense and better play calling on offense or just plain better coaching in general make it work?

He's neither as bad or as good as most folks describe on this board, he's probably square in the middle somewhere.

I still want to know how Romo spoiled us? What did he do?

First, the article you cite says 16% not 78% which is a drastically different number.

Second its a lie to say they put all the profits back into the product. An NFL is like every other business and while some money is put back into the product the profits of companies, depending on the company, are either paid out to those who own the company or, in simple terms, put in a pool of funds to be used later. As their is no point to have said pool with the structure of an NFL team it is likely just paid directly to the owner to do with as they see fit. They may put some back into the product, but at the end of the day they are taking home more money, that is not going back into the team, than any NFL player possibly earns for far less work.

Third, I do not view the player as nothing more than a tool of my entertainment. I view them as a person. A person who is choosing to shed decades off their lives, destroy their bodies after football, ensure they completely miss anything to do with their families, and whose career could end at any moment. Asking me to take the side of those making no sacrifice for my entertainment instead of those who are seems would require a level of heartlessness that I simply do not possess. I generally do not dislike the owners, but I think they make far more than enough already and if I have to choose between ownership and players I will almost always choose players.
