that's the point.....Prescott needs a lot of help to become an average passer in the league. once he gets that large contract, and lets say we can't sign zeke or Amari, then all Dak lovers will complain that he doesn't have the weapons....and inevitably it becomes a Romo comparison....see what Romo had...if he had what Romo had.....

We are at the mercy of Amari Cooper and his agent because of Dak. If we give Dak $30m and Amari has absurd contract demands that we dont want to pay and he walks, you now have a $30m QB that is bottom 10 stat wise like he was this year without Cooper.

This guy actually believes Dak is like Troy Aikman.

Don't you remember Troy his rookie year in 89 with the worst team in football, eh? Well don't ya?

Waste of time. Enjoy your bum bus driver. You'll be making excuses for him the rest of his career.
he is probably too young to remember who Aikman is, probably read a few articles here and there and watched a one hour special on NFL network.....

Amari is going to ask for 18 mill, we want to pay him 16 mill. and that's about the market for a top WRs...we traded a 1st round p ick for him. it makes no sense not to pay him. our other option is franchise and that's about 17 mill...

This is stupid. Every team pays their beast weapons. To act like this is just a “Dak” thing is bogus. Nobody intentionally says “Urhhhhhh duhhhhh let me go cheap on the weapons because I have a great quarterbacks.....”......

Pay Dak something like $45 million per year. Make him the highest paid QB ever and tilt the market for all that have to sign a QB after him. Then stipulate that Dak has to pay Cooper.

If he gets $30 million per, that's not elite QB money, that's simply the market for a starting QB. The QB market is too volatile to compare to what other QBs signed in other years, it's about timing when these guys are signed. Of the 5 QBs that signed contracts or extensions this offseason a $30/year average would be the 4th highest out of 5. The next group of QBs next year will be signing at higher than that, and the next price will be higher the year after that as long as the cap increases, the salaries will increase too.

Theres a thing called the salary cap, genius.


The point obviously went over your head.

When you pay a QB 30 million a year, you shouldn't have to also pay a WR 16 million and a RB another 16. That QB shouldn't need it. He should simply make stars of the next batch of skill players because he should be great. He's getting paid like it.

Prescott needs it and more.

What an absolute disgrace that contract will be.

feelings about "greatness" aside - REALITY CHECK - almost every NFL GM would sign Dak to 30M, before they'd pay any WR 16M or any RB 16M

Was Troy a bus driver? Was he elite? He DID have hall of famers around him at each turn...so does that make him just a guy at QB? See my point?
Aikman made Irvin a Hall of Famer. His pin point accuracy in turn got him into the HOF.

He was the first pick in the draft and he played up to it. He led the greatest Cowboys team in their history. The ‘92 team may never be matched.
