Dak Prescott question looms large

[dckid]

Now that we can finally purge the organization for Jason Garrett's stench the biggest question that remains is what do we do with Dak?
Clearly he is not a top 5 QB, and that is ok with me, but I also cannot pay him as such even though him and his agent demand that be the case.

I also don't believe Jerry is willing to really consider an alternative. I am good with using the Franchise tag if Jerry goes out and makes another move at QB. I would not want to waste 30 million on one year if we end up signing him next off season to an even larger contract. The whole kick the can down the road with QB contracts does not seem like a prudent philosophy.

1) We bit the bullet and sign him to a Wentz type contract and move on. Do we think the Front office can find another QB? Can we find another Dak/ Minshew?

2) Franchise Dak? What does that buy us? Is it to find out if we he is the long term solution?

3) Move on from Dak right now. What options do we have?
Keenum/ Rivers/ T.Hill, Winston, Mariotta. How much do we trust our infrastructure to develop an existing qb?

You pay Dak ........ In a few years his contract will be a bargain.

Expect a big-name veteran QB Rivers, Brees type to show up in Big D in the off-season.
No way Dak gets a Wentz type deal not even close.

I like your idea but what will Jerry do? We should have paid him right after Wentz and Goff.

It's going to be hilarious when even you realize that's not happening.

Stephen is gonna wait till the very last second to try and get the cheapest deal possible. It's what he does.

The price goes up every year. Unfortunately he will get paid at minimum the same as Goff and Wentz, actually expect even more.
Either pay him or go ultra cheap.

You haters sound really silly with you Dak comments. Either you're just trolling or you'd know there has been MUCH worse QB's through here than Dak. I'm looking forward to seeing how McCarthy can improve Dak's game. This is a time of optimism not negatism. Have you already forgotten in a week what a decade long mess we just got out of?

I don't think Jerry has the gravitas to pull that move. If anything we sign him to a transnational tag and have someone sigh him and get two first round picks.

He is just a troll ....... He won't care either way.

Either pay him or go ultra cheap.

The cap hit for Wentz next year is 18.6 Million, if Dak plays for that it will be a bargain.

Cowboy_ron, I am not trolling at all. I just want the team to make a quick decision and move forward.

 

[Hypotenoose]

I don't think Dak plays on a tag. I believe he's had his fill of humble pie. The Jones are obviously impatient to get another SB, so there's a good chance he gets a top 5 contract. I do not think Dak is a SB quality quarterback. Rivers is probably a better passer and has yet to make a SB. Perhaps a world class defense and a top 10 offense under Dak is enough.

Indeed we will. The Cowboys have made their opinion of Dak clear because they have a tendency to announce their contract negotiating strategy, if one can even call it that, through media.

I accept reality - what you or I think of Dak doesn't matter. You choose to live in a fantasy world.

To each their own, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to the meltdown when reality smacks you in the face. At some point, even you won't be able to ignore it.

Even poor Jerry looked pretty mad up in the box of his and I really feel the Dak experiment at best has one more inept season to go.
Jerry has eyes and Jerry knows he made a massive mistake with Dak now.
Will see how it goes I'm not going to lose sleep over it just a shame all this talent is wasting away.....

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I am hoping Mac daddy has some say in this.

 

[dckid]

The cap hit for Wentz next year is 18.6 Million, if Dak plays for that it will be a bargain.

The cap hit for Wentz is 18.6 million because his 5 year rookie contract was extended with the new larger contract.

 

[VACowboy]

I don't think Dak is clearly anything. Will be interesting to see him in a different offense.
