Prescott has some of the best stats for a young QB ever so only a hater or troll would suggest anyone else on that list as an honest option.
It's honestly laughable to see the forum members and media alike whom parrot what other say negatively about prescott actually believing it as fact.
The guy can do it all and and is one hell of a leader. I'm implore anyone to think realistically for a second here! Most great players on our roster have
regressed under Howdy Doody, I mean look at dlaw and the defense as a whole! Prescott has potential to be one of the best this league has ever seen.

Dak Prescott

Drew Bress

Tom Brady

Jamois Winston

Philip Rivers

Marcus Mariota

Ryan Tannahill

Teddy Bridewater

Case Keenam

Cooper Rush

Or add a name you think is possible.

Interested who is in your thoughts at this point.

Those names are either retiring in the next year or two, a retread failed starter, or career backup types.

The point of the QB market is that young talented QBs rarely become available. The most recent was Garoppolo but before that you had who? Brees over a decade ago? McCarron and Bradford oh my.

Given that context it should be no question that Dak Prescott would get top dollar on the open market.

I don’t know about best the league has seen
That’s a stretch
But I do think he’s the best option for this team
He’s not and never will be Mahommes but Mahommes is never gonna be an option

Why does it gotta be this way. If you can't sign the guy for the price the team can afford, why then does it have to be Dak and why then is anybody who is in favor of finding the best possible option a hater or troll? I mean, how does that make any sense at all?

Did not get that far on the salaries.

If you find out..please add in the thread.

Thanx.

Also..anybody that might be traded for with a future draft pick add them.

If this drags out past the draft into TC..

any of these names might become more viable.


No ones knows untill they sign a contract. Dak at 2 million is better than rivers at 20. But i'd take Rivers at 8 vs Dak at 30. Tennessee was brilliant getting tannehill for 2million, but is he worth 15-20, I don't know but i know hes not worth 35+

I mean, it's all a number's game right? If they are forced to pay 35, then they aren't in the playoffs because they can't afford the depth of talent all through the roster.

Just look at Seattle. When they had Wilson dirt cheap, they had a team that was threatening for the Super Bowl every year. Now, even with great QB play, they are going home because that team is too reliant on one player. That's what happens when you sink a large part of your cap into one position.

That is the current issue. Only a few QB's can make max pay and still field a team able to compete. It's not an easy thing to balance.

Normally I would take some comfort in your remarks.

But when I think about Dak, more often I picture late throws to WRs..

dropped passes of poorly located passes..

passes thrown in the ground..

3 and outs..

long audibles at the LOS that never result in big plays, just a Zeke handoff that gets stuffed.

So I do not agree. Yes, Dak has his moments. But unlike in 2016..they are farther and father apart.

And one think we all seem to block out watching these games..

the more somebody plays, the more the opposition sees them and figured out how to stop them..

how to get them off their comfort spot.

I think part of Dak's problems is there.

Defenses have got a good book on Dak.

Now the question is..

can Dak immediately adjust and use McCarthy and the WCO to beat teams?

And do we commit the money to him and the rest of the roster to this?

You're going to have to invest a premium in a top QB no matter how you slice it and Dak has shown he could possibly be close to an elite QB all the while being coached by a guy in Garrett whom shouldn't even sniff an NFL coaching position. Sure Mahomes is awesome, but he is coached by Reid whom is an awesome coach who is a genius offensively.

I'm not posting my thoughts for the sake of argument, I'm basically saying how I truly feet about Dak and the dysfunction that he has worked under.
How can anyone suggest they know based off of what they've seen of prescott under Garrett's coaching guidance?

If the Cowboys want a top QB they will have to pay for it. The argument that seems to be rampant around here is that Dak isn't worth the money even though guys without his intangibles have gotten paid top dollar. Look at Cousins, Matt Ryan, ETC, You have to pay someone who has shown great ability. The cap is going up I believe so this should factor in as well..

If we don't pay Dak, someone else will be more than happy to do it, so I say it's a smart move to pay him now while you can because the alternatives out there are no more guaranteed.

  1. Dak Prescott - Most likely option, realistically.
  2. Drew Bress - Why in the world would he leave NOLA? He's on a stacked offense in place he's idolized, with a better coach and no Jerry. Not gonna happen.
  3. Tom Brady - Theoretically possible! His age is in completely uncharted waters for an NFL QB, but a lot of his issues in 2019 were supporting talent based. I suspect Jerry scares him off though.
  4. Jameis Winston - Moron, criminal, interception machine, suspension magnet. Hell no.
  5. Philip Rivers - By the criteria Cowboys fans use on Dak, Rivers has never done anything but put up empty stats and choke, either.
  6. Marcus Mariota - Lost his job to Ryan Tannehill. Might be a cheap project who needed a change of scenery, but he's objectively worse than Dak and much more fragile.
  7. Ryan Tannehill - Has no reason to leave the Titans. He's a good player on a team that probably wants to keep him.
  8. Teddy Bridgewater - A career dink-dunk mediocrity with a terrifying injury history who keeps getting pumped up around here for some reason. He basically has every fault that Dak haters lose their minds over, only even more.
  9. Case Keenum - Career backup scrub who had one nice run on the Vikings in a sea of absolutely nothing. Just went 1-7 in 2019.
  10. Cooper Rush - Get out.

Its all about price. The difference between $20m and $35m per year is a whole lot of talent in other spots. That $35m guy better be a LOT better than the $20m guy.
I agree.

And seeing how the Jones' have been steering this ship up until McCarthy arrived..

bringing us Garrett and other decisions that went nowhere..

doesn't it seem wiser to wait on Dak's deal at least a year and let's see what happens?

Tag him and let's see about 2020.

Dak.. He can get it done and will have minimal learning curve on anything new. And has better timing with the players. Accurate or not. Tag him if you wish.
