Yeah.. Just because other teams are doing it doesn’t mean it works. Nobody is paying QBs and winning titles. That’s the problem.

A lot of these guys are getting these deals and their teams eventually become trash and they try to jump ship.

Hopefully Dak is the guy to break the trend and someone like Kyler Murray doesn’t keep the trend going.


Easy to say, If jerry let him walk and he goes to play as he is now and wins somewhere else, Jerry gets blasted for letting him go, if Jerry keeps him and he this team fails to win a championship Jerry gets blasted. Now if he helps this team to a SB some will still complain but then some will always complain. Lastly the statement of nobody is paying QB and winning titles I think that is about to go out the window, I think Josh Allen who is paid more has a very good chance to get his team there. Mahomes of course has a good chance. Stafford who just a couple years back was one the highest paid has a real chance as does Rodgers. Pay scale at QB will only continue to rise and guys like Murray will get his payday and when he does Cards will continue to expect him to play at a high level and compete for championships.

Well. With all of these QBs now paid.. Surely a top Dollar guy will win a Super Bowl now. Surely…

What part of “market value” for a franchise QB can you not comprehend? Really has very little to do with if that guy wins a Super Bowl or not. Obviously teams hope for the best possible outcome but they’re not paying these guys on the basis that they win a championship. You can really spot the difference between 9 to Fivers on this board, and those who probably have a little experience as independent contractors/business owners, etc. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

My argument has always been that the market value is a rip off and teams that play in that market don’t win trophies.

Vets taking paycuts and QBs on rookie deals is what usually wins titles unless your last name is Manning.

You can always spot those who suck at comprehension and get emotional and angry because their brain lacks intelligence. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

This thread lacked comprehension or intelligence when you conceived it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

As one poster said. It really shows how dim your so-called expertise is.

You still can’t comprehend that everything I’ve said about QB contracts is right and the fact I was wrong about the level of play Dak has reached doesn’t mean I was wrong about the effect QB contracts have on teams in terms of winning championships.

Come on Blake.. Use that noggin.

Mahomes doesn't count. He already won one and got paid after (I think).

There’s only one vet QB taking a pay cut. And has a rich wife and 7 titles. Stop skewing facts.

When someone begins a sentence with… “everything I’ve said is right…” that’s a strong clue I’m dealing with a narcissist who suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect. I’m embarrassed for you.

And the rest don’t win anything but a QB like Nick Foles can.
You said vets as in plural. Dak has a good chance this year and I can’t wait for the day it happens to see how you move the goalposts again.

No I’m just alerting a post that wants a “gotchya” moment that his comprehension has failed him.

I even admitted that Dak reached a level of play I didn’t think he was capable of but I guess you didn’t comprehend that either and just wanted to call me a narcissist.

Which post was a “gotcha” moment? I was simply reiterating a fact about QB contracts. It was not an attempt at a gotcha.

The problem with never paying a QB is it means every 5 years you have to get another one and the odds of being in a position to get the top 2-3 prospects are slim so you have to trade up and lose a lot of picks
And even the top 2-3 prospects each year rarely win a SB ever, let alone in first 5 years

I think his point is, the same can be said about paying a lot of money to veteran QB's (before they've won a SB).

when have the espn taking heads...or the ones on fs1 for that matter...ever wanted what was best for the Cowboys?
of course they wanted Dallas to let Dak walk...because we'd suck w/out our franchise QB.
they don't want us to win...so they want to get rid of anyone and everyone that helps us to have a chance.

it was a mistake because we should have sign him for the 35 million Goff was signed up for during that season. Jerry not trusting Dak made him more expensive

I agree about the timing being dumb and clearly costing them more. But I attribute that more to idiot son handling contract negotiations than anything else. Stephen has mishandled the last four big money deals he’s made.

Having 4 studs: CeeDee, Diggs, Parsons, and Osa on rookie deals helps out a lot.
