Market would disagree with you
Naw, he went back to trying to make it as a pitcher. He's the oldest player in Single A baseball.
And he’s gonna get what the market says he deserves as a free agent
Old deals can’t be compared to new deals
Mahomes is the exception, not the rule. There are aren't lot of QBs who have only won two division titles, rookie of the year, and won a playoff game in their first four years before going on to do more later.
Only saving grace is we've drafted reasonably well. These contracts just put the pressure on McClay and Co. to continue that trend.
Not to mention that during those Miles Austin years, we all expected him to throw a back breaking INT in crunch time. The Romo we got his last two years he had as a starter were his best.
He really hasn't shown that when he's been healthy enough to play. When he's played, he has not been a better QB than Dak. That's a fact.
They don't have an answer. First it was Garrett's fault, now with a new coach and new philosophy, Dak will only get us to 8-8. The goalposts keep moving.
That, admittedly, is a little bizarre, but that's the nature of the NFL. Talent is constantly evaluated, and free agency allows movement, and the market - supply and demand - drives up the costs.
That’s probably true but it’s not just about that. It’s about the perception of talent level and how good he was at his highest peak which led them to that home field advantage.
Tell that to his agent.
I say bring back Dez on a minimum deal, let him tutor Gallop and Cowboys use a premium pick on a wr. Let Cooper walk.
Purely from the standpoint of throwing the ball, sure, I would agree Wentz is more physically talented in that area. But we all know there are other factors with QBs - intangibles like leadership for example, and mental and physical toughness, and finding a way to make a positive play out of what originally looks like it will be a negative play, and staying calm and steady. I'm not necessarily saying Dak is or isn't better in every possible trait a QB needs, but throwing ability is only a part of it.
Throwing ability is the most visible quality along with winning.
