First off it would help your arguemnet A LOT if you had your facts right. Prescott had 30 TD passes last season. I also see that you're another one that places all the blame on the QB and doesn't put any blame on the defense failed to get the offense the ball in good field position to start the vast majority of the drives or special teams that either didn't give the ball to the offense with good field position or put additional pressure on the defense by allowing other teams to get good field position. Also the Cowboys as a team led the ENTIRE league in drops. Yes it's just so much easier to put all the blame on Prescott for the record they had instead of accepting the fact that it's a team sport and the failure of many players beside Prescott contributed as much or more than Prescott's efforts and the record they had.
.
Dak had 22 TD passes in 2 of his 4 seasons and 23 as a rookie. His 30 TD passes last year are hardly proof of improvement. You gonna pay him based on his fluffed up stats on an 8-8 team playing from behind against anyone good?
QB is the most important position on the field, and its not even up for debate. It is a self evident fact reflected on the NFL player salary totem pole.
Is it ALL Dak's fault? No, but thats hardly a reason to pay him 35+ million per year and leave the team unable to address other positions in a meaningful way. You say its a team sport, right?
