SI: The Dallas Cowboys Are Wasting the Luckiest QB Run in NFL History

GenoT · Jul 17, 2020

The luckiest back-to-back QB run in NFL history is very likely to be the Pats snagging Tom Brady in the 2000 sixth-round, riding him to 9 SBs and 6 Chips, only to immediately replace him with a hungry Cam Newton on a cheap one-year “prove it” deal — and with a young and cheap Jarrett Stidham waiting in the wings.

It is true though...14 years of a UDFA and a 4th rounder.

Say what you want about each, but the return has definitely been there, with not as much as a title game appearance to show for it.

That's pretty pathetic, but Jerry continues to play with his toy, and I'm not so convinced the kid is gonna be all that much better.

It's a horrible thought but its realistic.

Although OP is right........he's STILL damn good investment. A 4th round QB who's a top 10 that started every career game. Who wouldn't want that? At this point, we can't lose.......UNLESS we let him walk for nothing ( see Cousins ).

the same argument i made earlier,this bickering over a 4 or 5 year deal is pointless in the long run.

They already wasted both QBs that ship sailed. Now that the price tag went up significantly for Dak, the team has to take a hard look at production vs cap hit vs value. Great value from 2016-2019. But that's no longer the case.

Facts....

Since we do not have real contract numbers of offers we really don't know who screwed the pooch here. We have a good idea that Dak was offered a contract that made him the 2nd highest paid player in the NFL.

If it is a fact that he turned that down then the only one to blame here is Dak because he flat out is not worth that!

Facts:

You and I had a discussion over whether that rumored contract offer had a fair guaranteed amount. You crept out of the thread when confronted with comparative numbers showing the guaranteed amount was not in line with others.

Exactly. Name one big free agent the Cowboys brought in during Dak's rookie window.

Is anybody else feeling satisfaction over a rockport becoming the hating troll that he despises so much?

Has there ever been a bigger hypocrite?

No. I think he's a bigger fan that most around here. I've had my run ins with him, but I never questioned his random, unlike other pansies around here. No offense.

Rockport is that type that I love watching a game with.
Let it fly brother, rather I agree or not,, you make me laugh during commercials and get into the game hard core when its go time.
Beers on me, at least the first round.

Everyone seems to forget we had to eat a ton of money on Romo and Dez. Even though Dak was only making $700lk Romo was still taking up $20m in dead cap space.

He's not trolling--it's a fact. Like I've said in other posts, they would have already come out ahead if they gave Dak a deal before the 2019 season because he was only making $2 million and they can spread a lot of the cap into that year. Even the rumored $40 million per year extension would have only averaged out to $32 million a year. The Cowboys current offer is $35 million a year. A year from now it will take at the very least $37 million a year to get it done. Not getting this done a year ago was a terrible decision.

Go stick yourself.

After all your "hater" postures on anything negative about the Cowboys we now see people are simply just haters to you if they disagree with what your vision of what the team is, not the success/failure of the team itself.

Stick that pot where the sun doesn’t shine.

If they were confident in him then they should have gotten him resigned instead of the Ewok.
