Could Dak be rethinking everything?

There's always the possibility the Cowboys have buyers remorse and move on next year if they can't get him signed (and/or don't make the playoffs). Big Mac already said get him good players and he'll design the system around them. He ain't fussy. No sense in caving to any one player in that case.

One of the reasons McCarthy choose this coaching job over others is to work with Dak Prescott. He called Dak a SB winning caliber QB. When McCarthy said bring me good players and he'll design the system around them, he was full of crap. He kept Kellen Moore to work with Dak. Kellen Moore is designing the system.

The possibility of the Cowboys having buyers remorse has not happened yet but it could if Dak is a reason they don't make the playoffs. But that is far down the tracks. That is a separate issue from McCarthy's Plans for the offense right now.

He’s a complete moron for not taking the Cowboys offer. I’d be amazed if the offer is still on the table even.

I heard on one of the radio sports talk shows the day free agency started that if a team offers the exclusive franchise tag they have to also keep their last offer on the table and the players can choose to sign either or not sign either. Now the team once the tag is signed can keep negotiating a long term contract until July 15.

If we had lost Amari because Dak tied up the Franchise tag... then followed it up with this season being regressed as he shows again he “needs” a WR#1 to operate

This fan base would have turned ugly on him in a hurry

Cousins was called a moron too. Dak is about to make 60 plus million in guaranteed money. Hardly a moron. If he’s as good as he thinks he is it’s smart.

What if he's not as good as he thinks he is. I'm a Dak fan but I'm not a complete homer. There were games that Dak just didn't play well. Now you factor Frederick is gone and there will be more blitzes and more people in his face. He's not the most accurate passer to begin with and with more pressure that can get worse.

Dak is what he is right now. An above average franchise QB. The offer was for an upper tier QB and he turned it down. What if the offense struggles next year and his numbers drop? He may have cost himself millions by rejecting the offer.

If he's another RG3 then he's made a huge mistake. RG3 was rookie of the year and developed into a career backup. I hope he's not but he should've taken the money when offered. IMO

He’s not. He’s pretty comfortable with where he’s at.

For sure.
They will, anyway. McCarthy is in his honeymoon right now, and Dak’s salary is goin to jump through the roof. He’s public enemy #1 with our fans for at least the next twelve months.

Within the past couple of weeks this economy has taken a tremendous hit and is not going to turnaround anytime soon. Could/Should Dak be rethinking stand on the Cowboys latest offer?????

The TAG pay-check will be his last one of this magnitude.
Dak and his agent (Thank God for us) have priced themselves out of a Cowboy uniform come next season.
Book it!

The Cowboys should consider drafting Hurts in round two or three. He had a pretty good combine workout. Or at a minimum Nate Stanley from Iowa.

I live in Austin, and I rarely see Dak in a commercial. Even when I lived in Waco during the Romo Era, didn't see many Romo commercials either.

So maybe it is different in the Dallas/Ft Worth area, but if that's the case, chances are Wentz has a ton of commercials in the Philly market.

Hell, probably the one QB I see the most lately is Mayfield, and he's a Brown.

So I feel all the "_______ only because he is the Dallas Cowboys QB" is a little blown out of proportion.

Here in NC, I see him more than LBJ with the Lakers and Cam when he was the Panthers QB.

If he’s not as good as he thinks he is then he takes a minor hit but he’s not a moron for it. You have to remember that these NFL contracts are barely worth the paper they are signed on. You remember when Kapernick signed for 100 million and was cut 2 or 3 years later?

Meanwhile here is Kirk Cousins.....got franchises twice by a terrible team....then leaves and goes to a much better franchise and gets even more guaranteed money.

He looks like a genius in this. He’s made more in that span than anyone. All because he knew his worth.

Indefinitely think that whole endorsement thing is overblown. Some of these commercials people see from him are no different than anyone else they just locally show Dak. Not all. His Beats by Dre commercial are worldwide I know. And a few others.

Baker is the one I see in everything. And he’s a Cleveland Brown qb.

I live in Austin and during the season he’s on all the time. Campbells, 7-11, Pepsi etc.

The economic downturn was caused by a medical emergency, not because of bad economic fundamentals. This means the recovery will happen much faster than if the economic fundamentals were bad. Our economic engine was shut down and the solution is as simple as just restarting that engine as soon as it is safe to do so. It's a very temporary condition that should not affect the decision of Dak in any way.

Lets hope so! The economy is gonna have a major set back because of the serious drop in the stock market and small business closings. This will have a worldwide affect that will take years to recover. But lets hope they find a vaccine first!

Well he hasn't even signed the franchise tag. If he refuses that and does not show up for OTA and spring camps, then the name Wally Pip could become a reality for him.

Hmmm. Never seen or heard about his 7-11 commercial.

I wonder if they play on other networks other than Fox? Unless Dallas is playing on CBS or one of the night games, my TV usually just stays on Fox on Sundays.

I find it strange I don't see many Dak commercials, but I can't avoid Mayfield to save my life.

Cowboys would be stupid to give him a bunch of cash. He's not what he thinks himself to be.

And it will show, the first time we face comp, and he's not able to ride Zeke

#DontpayDak

Prescott has until July 15 to sign a long-term deal or be forced to play the 2020 season on the franchise tag.

That’s what history says similar to Cousins if they don’t get a deal done. If you don’t want to pay him now the going rate why would you want to do so next year or the year after outside the of him winning it all (being the main reason for it) or something?

That's similar to what I was going to say. The economic fundamentals aren't independent of what's going on right now. As you say hopefully not too much damage is done. Duration is the critical factor.

Daks issue is he was brainwashed by his agent that he was a market setting starter, thats somehow he belongs in the conversation with the elite guys and wants it all.. good for him , FT has downside get injured and no guarantees..then your market really drops...

IDC what people say that last deal was way beyond whats fair, I cant care less on the structure, take 105 guaranteed ,play 3 great years and come back to the table with real skins on the wall like an NFCCG and a SB but you are set for life and holding out for every penny to be a MORE millionaire, really is that worth no insurance of a LTC?

too many get what you all you can , theres an end to that when its 30million plus and we are talking fair market value for Daks play level;../ hes a2nd tier guy who hover around 10-12 in his position..it reality.. take the dang deal NOW and relax..

I feel Dak mentally was tight last year, stopped running, tried proving he can throw so much it hurt him as far as in game instinctual play, he didnt want to get hurt and wanted to show everyone he was a great passer..

the issue is in the big games against the better teams , when he wasn't playing well, he got even tighter, was forcing balls, over throwing meaning his release was changing and the balls started getting worse..

thats the #1 problem of not being secure with a long term deal, hes thinking instead of playing..it showed down the stretch, he got tight and was off his game..

he should take the money, be a hero among fans, a leader in the locker room as a player who took less, IN HIS MIND, for the betterment of the team.. it would be better then playing another lame duck season..
