Win the whole thing!
You left out the colorful metaphor in the middle.......
Win the whole thing!
the Dallas cowboy QB has been topic of discussion both favorable and unfavorable since Troy Aikman left.Morat, you are half right.....those that wanted him gone will rejoice and the other half will complain that he wither should have taken less money or that the FO screwed it up again.....Either way...he will be discussed for at least 1 year past him leaving.
Good Lord we have a NASA countdown on Dak's Discovery launch
Bar none.
Any Mahomes argument over X years is irrelevant as his rookie deal runs another 2 years.
So drop the 5th year. Problem solved.
You may not be aware that Jerry was an all-Southwest conference offensive lineman and co-captain of the 1964 championship Arkansas Razorbacks team back in the day. So he is not only business competitive but also football competitive on a personal level.
Then just add up the money he'll make in the first four years of the extension portion of his contract. You are proposing Dak make more than Mahomes over a 4 year period.
Problem not solved. Dallas wants the 5th year for cap purposes. Why are we supposed to just agree with Dak's stance here?
In terms of dollars, Mahomes will pocket X and Y over the first 4 and 5 years of the extension portion of his new commitment. Dak's contract should not exceed that. So if Mahomes will make $150MM over the first four years of the extension portion of his contract, then no, Dak shouldn't be asking for (or get) $160MM.
Jerry Jpnes was never an All-SWC guard any of his years at Arkansas. Yes, he started his senior season. Yes, he played on a team that won the national title in 1964. He was not an All-SWC player. Also, he was a co-captain of the team, but so was every other senior player on Arkansas that year.
I in no way diminish his accomplishments on the football field as a player - he accomplished more playing than pretty much any other owner in quite some time. His football competitiveness as an owner, however, is couched much more in how he can be perceived as the driving force behind a winning team rather than being a participant in it. Jones wants to win and receive all of the credit for it. It's his fatal flaw as an owner.
Barry Switzer had a quote on his desk that read, "There's no limit to what can be accomplished if it doesn't matter who gets the credit." Jerry Jones would be best served reading and adhering to those words.
Looks like Dak is going to play on the tag this year...……..problem is that if Dallas wants to tag him again next year its going to be close to $40 million. In fact, the Commanders are the only franchise to tag a QB in back to back years.
Its just not feasible to do that, especially if the cap goes down next year with revenue plummeting this year due to Covid.
So I think Dak might be an UFA next year and probably leaves. Some will be happy, some will be sad.
Truth is, a lot of posters have never forgiven Dak for taking Romo's job. They want Dak to fail or be off the team altogether, either way is good.

to me i think that if dak is not signed to a long term deal by wed he will play under the tag this year and move on next year something has happened between him and the cowboys i dont know what it is but something has changedLooks like Dak is going to play on the tag this year...……..problem is that if Dallas wants to tag him again next year its going to be close to $40 million.

I remember hearing this before Romo signed one of his contracts. I know that JJ didn’t want to draft him. He wanted to move up in the 4th and get someone else. I am sure Dak knows that.to me i think that if dak is not signed to a long term deal by wed he will play under the tag this year and move on next year something has happened between him and the cowboys i dont know what it is but something has changed

Our current offer is 36 a year. His greedy agent is costing him money.Tag again next year will cost approx 37.7M, giving the Cowboys a 2 year average of approx 34.5m, that is how they would look at it

His agent makes things worse than it is. They had a deal until after the first 3 games we won last year. Then the agent pulled out, so that had to upset JJ.
