$30M+ a year for the 19th best at his position, or $15M a year for the best at his position?

The Dak hate is is flat-out dumb. He's getting paid and he's worth every penny. Either try to understand why or just stop talking about it. You're making this fan base look stupid.

The statement is not nearly as dumb as the hype concerning Pollard.

And what hype is that? You are a Cowboys fan, are you not the least bit intrigued at how well he ran in the two preseason games and the news from TC and OTA's?

Would you rather he sucked?

And seeing as though our all world back is getting drunk in Cabo while everyone else is in camp, its seem rather important we have a quality back to run the ball.

Forget which position it is.

Which do you pay?

The latter... it's a NO BRAINER.

First, I think you are off base saying Dak is 19th best at his position, but in any case you can't just forget which position it is. By that logic the best kicker in the league would be more important to sign than DeMarcus Lawrence, for example. Position matters, and that's why some positions receive higher pay.

Yes, you can pay him when the time is appropriate! He has a contract that pays him 2 + million this season. If he’s not willing to take a bit of a reduction for getting the big bucks early, then let’s see what the next two years bring and go on from there. Stats & winning are 2 different things & with this team, anything short of a Super Bowl is a disappointment. We as a fan base or hell, ownership have NO idea who the next player is who has domestic issues.

I think that is what I said he dosent deserve top money because of the risk but top 5 money is very fair and he should take it

It's not how much you pay a guy it's a question of how much you pay someone relative to what they are worth.

BTW you're exaggerating greatly how many teams will be paying their qbs this much money. There are 4 guys there now. Dak would make 5. What 11 qbs are going to reset higher than Dak in the next 2 years?
That doesn't really apply at QB, because almost all of them are paid more than they are worth.

After the next two seasons (Not really sure what you mean by next two years, but also not sure the difference matters) this whole group is either a FA or eligible for extension:

R. Wilson
B. Roethisberger
A. Rodgers
C. Wentz
M. Ryan
D. Prescott
K. Cousins
C. Newton
B. Mayfield
S. Darnold
P. Mahomes
D. Watson
J. Goff

That's not even counting guys like Brees, Brady, Rivers and Eli who could very well get $30m on short deals, or other fringe guys like Trubisky, J. Allen, and Jameis. There are guys on that list who are going to make darn near $40m (Mahomes, Baker, Darnold).

lol, the guy who didn't show up vs the Rams vs the guy who showed up in all his playoff games and plays his best in the 4th quarter.

I take Dak & Zekes replacement Pollard all day every day vs Zeke with Dak's replacement Rush.

Or should we say the guy the Rams chose top stop versus the guy they chose to see if he could beat them! We saw how that worked out for the Rams didn't we.

Chose not to show up crap is just so ridiculous. I would love to see all these holes that Zeke missed!

:hammer:common sense best and just turned 25 so young and durable he CAN PLAY OUT his new contract..after that who knows but 3-4 years im banking can..are we better with RBBC with Pollard as lead back, or WITH Zeke as lead back and pollard backup..im going Zeke with Pollard, if we are better lets do it..Pollard takes the load off Zeke and keeps him fresh for December-January..im all for it..:popcorn:

Actually they were discussing this topic on the local sports radio station on my drive home. They came up with the Dolphins, Bengals, Broncos, Titans, Jags as the only ones who might want Dak’s services. They said all the other teams already have their qb in place. All agreed that Dak is not a top 10 qb.

Dolphins and Bengals, sure. The Jags have a SB MVP who signed a 4 yr $88 million contract.
The Titans absolutely love Mariotta and Dak isn't tall enough to play QB for Denver (lol j/k)
who, by the way, also signed a former SB MVP and spent a high pick on the position.

Don't put any stock into sports radio stations. They may have more access in some cases but that doesn't
make them smarter than us. They get paid to fill air time.

But very very True......:omg: and let's not forget he runs the 29th Red-Zone offense.
In fact in certain NFL circles his nick name is Field Goal Dak......

With our current kicking situation, we might need to change it to
"Missed FG Dak"... lol
