Dak is taller and so would be better in certain situations. I agree, I don't think there would be all that much difference.

Wilson is far better than Dak.

Wilson can buy buy buy time at a high level and he's just a much better player then Dak.

Really what can Dak do better?

If you're going to pay elite QB prices then it would be nice to actually have an elite QB.

the price is supposedly three firsts....but perhaps they won't get that, but 2 firsts and additional picks....that's a lot to pay...and even if he comes to Dallas, we don't have the defense and he ends up same as he is in Seattle....make the playoffs and lose because hte defense sucks so bad.......we need those 1st round picks to draft defense and build the defense....

I disagree. If you give up this year's first and Dak's rights for Wilson, you still have free agency and the rest of the draft picks to invest in shoring up your defense. Conversely, you have arguably the most dominant offense in the entire league.

This is what the Church of Dak cannot answer. These same people will wax eloquent about how Jared Goff and Carson Wentz suck - last I looked Jared Goff has played in a SB and has been to the playoffs multiple times. Carson Wentz was on an MVP tear when he got hurt and was one of the reasons the Eagles made it to the playoffs the year they won. So if you say that these two people suck as QB's - what is to be said about Dak Prescott who has a 1-2 playoff record and consistently folds when playing against teams that have an average to above average defense?

I agree with some of your points but I have a hard time judging Dak the beginning of last year. We were horrible in the first half and fell behind early. Then Dak would go nuts against soft D set ups with some nice comebacks. As I’ve repeated many times I like Dak and have stayed neutral. I’m just not sure how to judge those games.

To some extent, yes, but not always, and not always by huge amounts.
First game, Dallas was up 14-13 at the half.
Third game Dallas behind only 8 pts at the half.

Both of those losses Cowboys could have won, getting behind by 8 hardly is a certain loss. And some of that definitely falls on Dak, though some on Zeke as well.

But I'll say it again - last year was a probably one-of-a-kind season, an aberration (other than no SB or second round playoff win of course). Going nuts by dumping half the team, etc. is an overreaction to a weird season...

Russell Wilsons team can't overcome his contract and put enough around him..

Cowboyszones conclusion?

You gotta get Dak signed ASAP.
The Seahawks suck at drafting. LOL. His contract has nothing to do with it.

Russell Wilson is actually worth the contract that Dak wants. Dak is not worth the contract that Dak wants.

Whats Wentz playoff record? Also. You forgot 2 things the Rams and Eagles had in their respective runs.

Do it, Jerry.

Somehow sign and trade Dak and add whatever draft picks are needed to get this done.

Could you imagine what Wilson would look like with all these weapons around him?
Yep same as Dak unless defense gets fixed as well

This is scripture.

It's worth noting that Wilson only got to the SB when the Seahawks had the number one defense in the league.

Not a "top-10" or "pretty good" defense, number ONE.

Is he going to have that in Dallas?

:rolleyes:

Wilson is in no way elite at all. His only success in this league came when he had one of the best defenses the league has ever seen. His defense saved him so many times in the playoffs. What has he did since he became the focal point and that defense went away? Nothing at all. In fact, Dak schooled him head to head in the playoffs. Russell always gets this early season hype and then falls off, limps into the playoffs and fizzles out quickly.

Russell would not elevate this team at all. Heck, even the worse defenses he had later in his career are light years better than ours that Dak played with.

Russell barely squeaked out a win against the Eagles no name backup last year in the wild card round and this year, his offense looked like junk and he lost to a gimpy Goff who the Rams did not even want any longer.

Yeah, that screams elite. If you want to say he was elite for those 2 or 3 years early in his career, I guess. But he is in no way elite right now. In fact, I only see 2 elite QBs at this moment. Brady and Mahomes. Unless you throw the word elite around to anyone out there.
