Dak, $40M per year and the playoffs

The dollar amount being used against Dak is stupid. It’s like the people who trash A&M, Michigan State, etc. for paying so much for their coaches.

There is a going rate for success and that rate goes up as time passes. Your options are to pay it, or pay less for a lesser product. Dak cost what he cost because that’s what a top 10 starting caliber QB was worth when he signed his contract. We could have paid it, or dive back into the QB dark ages. Now I realize some of you would happily do that just out of spite, but understand that’s rooted in emotion not logic.

There are not very many good QBs in this game at any one time. You don’t let one walk when you find them because he might make more than a player better than him who signed their contract earlier than he did. If you can’t understand that then I’m sorry that your grade school education failed you. If you can and still ***** about it, you’re just a spiteful and illogical fan.

Like someone mentioned earlier he needs to use his legs more. He’s more than capable of doing it. He showed it against Arizona and the football team to close out that game.

This is the playoffs…. Whatever it takes is right. More designed runs…. RPO stuff etc. we have pollard and ceedee… use it

Lol...tell me you struggle with NFL contracts without telling me you struggle with NFL contracts...

His cap hit is 17 mill this year. 34 next year. You know what about that 34 mill? They will lower that number by paying out his 20 mill base as a bonus and spread that over the rest of the contract.

So all of this, "OmGz 40 mill" is just a waste of breath.

Yes I know. There are different ways of looking at the contract. You’re choosing to look at only the cap hits in the first 2 years, probably because it makes Dak look more favorable for now. Someone else can look at the earnings for each year. What most people do is look at the average per year of the contract.

Verdict said:

I’m mostly pro Dak and have been watching this board eat it’s own alive over Dak. I think some objectivity is in order. Here are my thoughts on Dak and the upcoming playoffs:

1. You should be able to count on Dak outplaying Garroppolo based on his contract. Dak should give you a significant advantage at QB in this game.

2. Dak should NOT be the reason you lose in the playoffs. If he is the factor that drags the team down, then he was not worth his contract.

3. Dak has to be playing well enough in the playoffs to give your team a shot to win. He is paid like a top 5 QB and he should be playing like it.

4. You can’t blame Dak regardless of how he plays if the defense is in his lap prior to the expiration of a reasonable amount of time.

Recent opportunities to excel and demonstrate that he's over the hump have ended poorly,,, hoping that this week we have two big things to celebrate and be happy about,,,, three big things if we can give credit to Big Mike for the step forward!

Part of claiming to be an elite QB is the ability to read defenses and know when to quick release or let the play develop. Dak struggled with that after the Broncos exposed him. Oh and saying that th Broncos exposed him and the offense isn’t hating Dak, it’s merely identifying that the QB lacks the skill to identify defense on the fly.

I see no connection with what any player is paid and how he should perform compared to another at his position.

What they are paid is irrelevant to me and not the reason I watch the game. In fact, I would prefer not to know what any of them make and make the comparisons all about what they do on the field.

This particular game isn't as much about the QB as it is the defense. The Niners are coming with the idea of run the ball, control the clock and limit the opportunities the QB has. It is up to the defense to not allow that to happen and give the offense ample possessions to win the game.

This is the reality of his contract.

Your logic would make sense if all those QB's being paid this are the same and yet they are not. No person in their right mind would look at Dak and say he is anywhere in the same caliber as Rodgers, Brady and Mahomes.

Citing stats in this no D league is pretty much pointless when comparing to the past league. It's easy for any QB to put up stats in today's league.
