OH i don't know about that Mariota went 8-8 and 9-7 with much more medicore teams and offenses than Dak had and Dalton went either 10-6 or 11-5 for 5 straight seasons with the Bengals and made the playoffs every one of those seasons, you really think either would have done worse with our team? I think maybe you are the one with your eyes closed

no.
i'll stick with Dak.

I think you’d be shocked at what some of these starting caliber FA QBs could do behind the Oline that we have, the WRs we have, and the RB that we have. Dak is good but he’d be Andy dalton or worse if he played for the Bengals. Don’t get it twisted.

I'll just float it out there that many think our OL has been over rated the last two years. Lots of pass pressure, most of it immediate, and lots of 3rd and 4th and 1 yard stuffs. We have an above avg OL, but it's been awhile since they played like an elite group. This will be an interesting year to see if they regroup or regress further.

Go look up his stats, Greg. Also, watch tape on him. I'm not lying.

I watched him in several games last year. He’s not an upgrade from Dak. But he was enough to win some games.

I never said that was my opinion. I said quite the opposite. Dak is my preference but not at any price.

27 million is too much?

Sillyness. Dak will be signed under the highest contract to date and it will eclipse $33M/year.

Start walking Dak. Probably the reason he fell to fourth teams realized he wasn't a team player at heart. The jokes on Jerry!

Another useless stupid article, please Lord lets get the CBA passed and players signed.

I'm not really concerned with the tag price, I'm questioning his commitment to the team long term. Without that the tag is just paying a ransom until we agree to pay a ransom long term.

It's also not a stretch to question his commitment to doing whatever it takes to win this season without a longer term contract with the big guaranteed money.

Is he going to take on the linebacker to get that crucial first down? Is he going to hold the ball that extra half second to make the play knowing he's going to get drilled?

Playing on the tag is much more than just a place holder for a season. The risks to the player and his future earning potential are very real. The risk to the team not getting the very best effort in certain situations are very real.

It's a no win situation. If the team is convinced that Dak truly is THE guy then pay him handsomely, even at future projected market rate. If the team really thinks Dak is simply a good QB which "you can win with" but not THE guy than bite the bullet, pull the band aid off, take your short term lumps and move on.

Given what we know about the offers Dak has turned down it seems pretty clear what the team thinks of him. We'll find out if they have the sack to be aggressive, risk some marketing and merch revenue in order to reset for future success.

Unfortunately this is probably true.

I posted this in another post but here it is again:

Cowboy fan since 1972 and my stance is this personally I would NOT apply the exclusive tag to Dak for 33 mil. First this off-season I'm signing a solid Backup QB with starter potential and it ain't Cooper Rush. I would apply the transition tag for 27 mil to Dak he either plays for 27 mil, sets out and I start my other QB and if he gets another offer than I let him go and take the other teams 2 first round picks one of which I will select another QB to eventually build around. I get sick of all these people acting like Dak is the end of the world for those that think this way rest assure hes not. I'm not saying Dak is not a good solid QB but there are others and there will be more in the future. I will be happy drafting another QB and possibly another DT with my two #1's.

andy dalton's bengals teams were loaded and under achieved.
mariota had derrick henry...and under achieved.
im not taking either over Dak.

Do you watch games? The titans only started using henry THIS year. I had that bum since his rookie year on my fantasy team waiting and waiting and waiting, and the titans just wouldnt use him.

Paying ransom by way of the franchise tag is something you don't want to do any more than twice or it gets too expensive.

A writer who knows what he's talking about.

Better than committing to an over paid long term contract.

At least it gives us a year to come up with a better Plan B or more leverage.

The point of the article is to pose the question would paying Dak and surrounding him with less talent as a result of that contract make the TEAM better? The answer is probably not. So, in which case, why pay Dakota 105 million? The goal is the super bowl not enriching your favorite players who have come up short.

How did Dak step into one of the most "complete and talented offenses" a team "with a championship roster" if Tony Romo's massive 2016 deal was still on the books?

Dak knew he had contract issues all of last year but didn’t get the job done. This team needs Ws, especially the come from behind type. Is that Dak? Didn’t look like it last year. And yes, resigning Dak will waste the good players and at the same time decrease the money to get good players. The worst case scenario is to sign Dak at a high price. This teams needs to stop trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Just because Jerry likes someone doesn’t mean we should screw the rest of the team.

Curious which good players on the team you think are so much better at their jobs than Dak is at his.
