I love this conversation we are having. My fear with Prescott is I think we already got the best we will get out of him.Some feel Fields may be the better pick, more like Mahomes and Murray.
My concern with not extending Prescott has always been if not him, then who? These Bozos wanted Lynch and Cook, don't trust them without a no brainer like Aikman.
If the Cowboys had a shot at either of these two QB's, I would take them over Prescott, I think they're both better now. Lance I am not so sure about, I haven't seen him play much.
However, none of this changes the fact that a team must be built around them, just like they've had at Clemson with the best RB and D in college and OSU with some high end D talent and RB's as well. The Skins made a mistake with Haskins because of the team he was on.
Think about it, the first 4 years we were basically paying him 1 million a year and we had two playoff appearances. Even this franchise tag @31 is still ok because I can say over 5 years his salary is 7 per year.
The problem is the next contract that we have to pay him @40 per year will be a horrific mistake. He will have to win a couple of SB's to justify it, and even Jerry knows that will not happen.
Even if we miss at the #2 pick it will be less costly than Dak @ 40 per year winning 6-8 games.
