He’s already earned the right to be among the highest paid QB’s this year. Worst case scenario is he’s making 31 mil.

I guess I should have specified on a long term deal. He's no. 6 on the tag and I think that's a pretty fair price for both sides.

I think most would agree a contract for 4 or 5 years paying 31 million a year would be fair.

I didn't miss the point at all.

You just stated exactly what I thought he was saying.

I get that a handful of very loud voices in this forum dont think Dak is at least above average.
We are talking 5%ers...15% max.

The VAST majority of fans know Dak is above average, and I bet even most of us think he’s well above average.

Most put him in that 9-15 range, I would think.

The outliers are those that say he's barely NFL starting material or the ones that say he’s top 5...or worse yet, better than Mahomes

Above average is a dime a dozen

2018 . . . Good times. Remember the endless conversations about how Dak's indecisivness and inability to read a defense or even call an audiable. Was the reason for all the sacks in the stat column. How the O-Line was a victim of circumstance.

Because Dak was receiving protection at an elite level but would hold on to the ball way too long

Thats when all the BS about The O-Line came into play

If you agree with 31 mill per year, then what’s the big difference between 35 mill per year?

$31 million is already too much, but at least it's just for one year.
Extending Dak more than one year is still too risky at this point. The only thing that he has proven is that he can run up his stats when the opposing defenses are in prevent mode.
He hasn't shown that he can be the guy who can get the Cowboys past tough teams.
Until he does, he's a pretender; not yet a contender.

There is no such thing as an under appreciated quarterback in the nfl, especially one that plays in Dallas in primetime every week. The media and half the fan base hated Romo and couldn't wait to say he is terrible so when Dak took over all these people completely gushed and praised him 24x7. This guy has never been under appreciated. He was billed as the anti-romo from day one by fans and media and this fallacy did not come true and now everyone wants to pretend he is "Under Appreciated"

the guys has made like 30 million dollars in endorsements or more and plays in primetime games over half the season. So give me a break on under appreciated. it's 2020 everyone knows every qb and its impossible to be some sort of underdog or under appreciated at this point if you are qb.

if there is a qb who is under appreciated I would actually say its Derek Carr in Oakland. He is the raiders all time yards leader and he will be the all time TD leader soon. Yet he has been talked about being traded or released since the day jon gruden got there. He doesn't have all the big endorsements and he is rarely talked about in a positive light yet he is a good player.

Carr
94 Games
22793 yards
143 TD 62 INT
64% Completions

these are pretty good numbers for playing on a couple of terrible teams.

Remember the time the O-Line allowed a free pass rush on Carr and he cracked a vertabra

    Because it would make him the highest paid QB . And I don’t believe he’s deserving at this time.

Vikings were one of the best defenses in the league. Dallas averaged 3.2 seconds of time for Dak. If you look at it, Dak had plenty of time on third down especially, with the Vikings committed to stopping the run. In the second quarter, Dak hit Cooper on a third and 12 for 20 yards, Michael Gallup on a third and 15 and Jarwin for 26 on a third and 3 and Cobb for 22 on a 3rd and 7. Dak had all day to throw on third down in particular and got big chunks on the Vikings defense.

The Cowboys OL completely shut down AD, the best defensive player in the league, and the Rams front line this year.

According to this ESPN stat, Dallas was ranked 11th in team pass block win rate. They claim there stat is based on how long a pass rusher can sustain his block for 2.5 seconds or longer.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...s-rushing-rankings-2019-pbwr-prwr-leaderboard

And Dak is TOP 3 in the league in time to throw, at 2.88 seconds according to Next Gen Stard.

https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing

They were ranked at minimum third by Football Outsiders in pass and run blocking overall. I’m not sure how ‘long developing pass plays’, without specifically defining them even means and I’m not sure anybody else here does either. If you read the article, a lot of it amounts to time AFTER the WR routes have ended based on how I understood whatever I skimmed through from the article. It also could be that the QB holds on to the ball way too long, which is a problem of Dak that was obvious in his second read drop in performance.

And our problems were not deep passing plays last year and should have never really been a problem, considering how much man outside and one safety Dak sees or has seen throughout his career. And deep passing plays shouldn’t be confused with long developing, because the deep adding play could be the first read.

You need to start a Youtube channel. You are always on Point.

I am growing tired of Voch and Law. AKOYE is still good.

I think if you drop the knowledge that you do, it would be a great alternative
