Dak - Allen game: Dak passed for over 100 yards more and for an extra touchdown.
Dak - Trubisky game: Dak passed for 90 more total yards and less interceptions.

Only one that performed better statistically was a healthy Darnold who had just returned, fresh and healthy after having weeks off to get his body right. This game still came down to the final drive of the game in the redzone.

Also he did kind of outplay Rodgers. I was in Dallas for the *** whooping that we made respectable towards the end in garbage time. But even in that game, we got ran over on the ground, Rodgers didnt do anything special. We didnt have an answer for the run at all. Cant ignore that Dak tossed for double Rodgers total yards and nearly 500.
passed sure what happened to Daks legs Allen tore up the cowboys D and kept drives a live with his legs..Allen played better as a whole then Dak in that game..

the important part isnt overall stats it how players lend to a win and dak puts up stats in between the 40s but doesnt make THE PLAY when needed..

qbs dont play each other is better point but opposing Qs who dak thinks he should get paid better then all have made a fe f those plays along the way .. Mahomes did it all 3 games in the playoffs, his D was hemorrhaging points and yards and he brought them back,,he out the team on his back and said no we wont lose today..that dude can ask for 40.. dak has not done that in a truly big game yet and for sure not a playoff game..

AR defense wasn't paying great at all in that game hence the padded stats by dak however who made the biggest plays late to win? it wasn't Dak

Dak deserves anew big shiny deal but not the one hes demanding..

So, as it has been projected, the salary cap will increase considerably next year. The Jonses say they need cap space to put players on this team to compete. Why are many of you believing the FO? They are playing mind games. They will not be limited by Dak's contract going forward. An agent worth his piss in the pot sees this, relays this to his client, and here we are. It should not be difficult to understand. Mahomes' and Watson's agent will do the same. They'd be foolish to sign a less than optimal deal right now. This is just logical.

I am not sure where many are getting Dak wants 40 mil, last I saw, it was 35 mil and the years are the hold up. Why would Dak want less years, because of future cap projections. He can renegotiate under the new CBA revenue structure, which would impact the salary cap moving forward. Some of you guys need to stop believing the lie this FO is spewing. Many of you are arguing the Jonses' points without really considering the reality of the situation. "Dak is average and we shouldn't pay him..." That argument is long in the tooth and dead.

true most of these FT holdout type things go into July or whatever the cut off date is for a new LTD to be signed..if it gets passed that then things will get interesting..
If I'm Jerry I just dont see the positive in handing him that check now as opposed to a couple of months from now.

Prescott cant do anything to increase his value, but he certainly can to decrease it. It's not likely, but you never know. Why risk it until it begins to hurt the team?

Cowboys want 6 years to spread the cap hit like the Eagles did with Wentz and Rams did with Goff. The Cowboys are on the right side of this, not Dak.

Just because Jerry overpaid Romo doesn’t mean Dak deserves to be. Neither have earned anything other than garbage time stats and some epic highlight reels.

This isnt at all difficult to predict...

Slightly before the time at which Prescott is about to miss meaningful activity on the field, his side will give in slightly, and Jerry will give in largely, and he will sign a deal that makes him the highest paid player in the history of the league in some sort of regard. Away we go...

"We certainly want Dak to be happy, but we also want to surround him with great football players.""

I wish Dak would understand this one line

There is no loyalty from owners in the NFL, therefor this is no loyalty from players. It's a business. But I do think it's in Dak's best interest to resign and not holdout too long.

nah deserves whatever his employer feels hes worth..no set numbers for any player, its a negotiation and for sure dak is not better then wentz , they are in the same ballpark, so more is bs narrative..no one deserves anything when we are talking 30plus million you get no sympathy from Joe average public..

he is above average but thats where it stops hes top 10 and wants top 1-3 money or more..NO way hes that QB, if you think that you need to get some air..those fumes are messing with your reality..

he was offered top 5 deal and IMHO that great take it get more in 4-5 years..
it doesnt matter what i or you think. What matters is the QB market. The rate has been agreed to, as both sides have said this in the past. Whats keeping the deal from being signed is the legnth of the deal. If you think Dak isnt getting more than Wentz or Goff then youre the one that needs a reality check. In overall money, SB, and Guaranteed money. That has nothing to do with whos better its the way the market is. Just like Dak will make more then them, Players like Watson, Jackson and Mahommes will make more than Dak. Then whent he time comes, Burrow will probably make more than them. This money thing confuses people like you thinking players are getting payed because of how good they are, they getting more and more because of the market. You think Byron Jones is the top CB in the nfl because he's being paid at the top?

Agreed. All NFL players' salaries are going up. It's the nature of the beast. Many just need to get over it.

well then don't wait until next year because it'll cost even more to pay him. They knew they were going to have to overpay him this offseason anyway.

well hes not just an avg qb.

Everytime he's play the "elite" guys he's played with them or even better. He's outplayed Rodgers, Goff, and Wilson in his playoff games. Its not his fault the defense couldnt stop the rams or packers. Daks rookie yr he was great in close games winning on late drives. Then from 2017-2019 the offensive coaches tried to get cute and them close games started to go the other way.

Dak deserves to be paid higher than Wentz and Goff because he's played better and has out performed them. Its not his fault the market is overpaying QBs.
Goff took his team to a Super Bowl. Dak had a career year last year and the team finished 8-8.

really his station sure aligns with those against handing him market setting money..

so whys dak sitting on the FT????? HUH mist be whatever Jerry thinks..Daks playing one way or the other and at this point FO is doing the right thing, if that means Dak leaves after next season, I can live with that more then paying him 120 G at 38 mil per over 4 years and he up again wanting money after 3..nah hes not that kind of QB..

every starting QB from 1-32 does NOT GET MARKET lol thats reserved for top 1-3 elite guys maybe 5 that it that all over at all positions market isnt for ALL its for Special the rest fall into place..

it snot next man ul get the next big =gest higher deal..lolif it were like that the league would go bamkrupt.. Dak thinks he deserves more hes brainwashed by the narrative you've spewed but some have lost their way not relaizign that reserved for special player who can set the market..

keep puffing all the hype while dak is not signed.. our side winning right now..

Sooner or later, this cat is going to climb down out of its tree. I do t see what the big hurry is. We can control his rights for the next two years at a number that’s comparable to what we’ve probably put on the table already.

But are we not going to be market setters? That's the question that needs answering. Lol.

Just on ESPN today..per Dak he doesn’t play football for the money. Maybe he’s just easily influenced by his agent then but I doubt it. Straight greed..I mean 100 million isn’t enough and your gonna argue over 1 year difference in contract term?

I think Dak knows he can’t fool them for 5 years but might be able to stretch it to four.

Just because Jerry overpaid Romo doesn’t mean Dak deserves to be. Neither have earned anything other than garbage time stats and some epic highlight reels.

ignorance is bliss.

there a post a few days ago that gave facts.

Dak prescott is near the top in the NFL in records vs teams with Winning records.
He's i think #2 or 3 in wins since being in the NFL.

He's done that with avg to below avg defenses, and incompetent coaching.

How do you get your mind to work around these facts? This isnt even a jab at you. This is a serious question as to how a Cowboys fan can ignore these facts and still call him a garbage time QB.

I still have to side with Dak on this one. The “surround Dak with great players” line is just lip service. They can still do this by restructuring contracts, like for instance Tyrone Crawford this year. They don’t need him to take less than market value for that to happen.
