Funny thing is I think the meltdown will be moreso on fans like Presgoat when the same pass he gets now as a 2mill QB he doesn't get as a top 5 paid QB. Once he gets paid people are going to expect more and be more critical than they are now.

Nah their paid Employees of Dak's PR dept. Presgoat and all the rest of the Dak-Zombies will be here getting paid and selling the most inept QB we've had since Quincy Carter.

I think you underestimate fans like PresGOAT. These fans feel first and then interpret to justify their feelings. It will never be Dak's fault. It will always be the o-line's, WR's, defense's, coaching's, officiating's fault.

At best you'll get a little lip service about "slow start" to try an appear impartial.

PAID Employees do what they are told!

Some "fans" even hope he gets the biggest contract possible, hurting the team, just so they can see other, actual fans of the team, be upset by it.
That's the thing I won't be upset because I know who Dak is. He's an average player and more money won't make him some new and improved QB. He's average at 2mill and will be average at 30+ mill just less of a bargain.

Precisely. I like Zekes abilities but would have loved to see his contract much less. Hes a top 3-5 at his position so I can understand the money......but not with Rayne Mediocre Prescott.. Average ability should be average money

But you don't "know." Statistically, Prescott nears the top. Suggesting he's average is disingenuous.

**Disclaimer** For those of you either can't read or ignore things, I am NOT suggesting he's elite, best of the best, mistake free, perfect, deserves the highest salary ever or any other erroneous claim that supporters "always say."

If he gets signed to a reasonable contract many of his critics will be just fine, so the FO can get the talent around him that he needs.......Im not sure, however why anybody would feel smug if he gets paid twice as much as Brady but only having half the talent.
What Jerry Jones will consider as a reasonable contract is not what many of his critics will define as a reasonable contract. I am not certain why many of his critics are debating this very strong possibility in the here-and-now when it is almost assuredly will come to fruition in the (relatively near) future since it is not really a matter of if but when.

It could be said history is repeating itself. On this site alone, much trepidation preceded Romo's contract extension in the form of posts and threads. Jones was then, as he is now, the final decision-maker for granting the extension. Some observers stated repeatedly that the likelihood was high that the extension would exceed Romo critics' expectations. Then May 2013 happened. Romo re-signed for $108 million. $50+ million guaranteed. $25 million signing bonus. Six years.

Romo's critics continued being as livid as they were before the extension. Romo's extension had a significant impact on the team's salary cap. My questions are how negatively impactful was Romo's extension for both the 2013 through 2015 seasons and/or any seasons following him being exorcised from the roster to the present? Will it truly be D-Day when Prescott receives the unreasonable contract many of his critics unknowingly detest?

Right. Prescott is our QB and will get extended. It's nearly a certainty. And I'm not sure why the critics refuse to support him and concern themselves with salary as if they're paying it out. There's also the subject of market value; it's not just where you rank as a player.

Kiss a garbage can Dakaholic. Suggesting he's average is disingenuous to those like yourself who look to Smith Jr as some football savior. I explained your stupid point in a recent post. You're not worthy enough of a poster for someone to misread your junk. I was just calling out your token bs that you put just to say I did it.

None of your insults address the fact that you're wrong. To the point you get so angry that you throw crap like an 8 year old.

Whether it is practical or not, I can understand anyone's reasoning for not supporting Prescott. People have preferences. Case in point. Terrell Owens is a bonafide Hall of Fame wide receiver that was a genuine on-the-field asset for the team but was also a player I would never piss on if there was not a water hose to be found anywhere and he caught on fire.

In short, I get the dislike for Prescott. It is something that does not really bother me. What makes me shake my head is the sports talk show rhetoric echoed unceasingly by Prescott's critics. "You cannot pay Dak for fill in the blank reasons."

Well, there is no 'you' as it applies to everyone except Jerry Jones.

Prescott has Jerry Jones' near or complete support.

It is extremely unlikely Jerry Jones will entertain gambling with a future high draft choice to replace Prescott.

Where is the discontent in understanding? I do not see it. Where are the posts proclaiming, "I know Prescott will get paid more than I know he should but he is not a qualified NFL franchise caliber quarterback." Likely, the answer is nowhere when I reflect back at the fact a significant number of Romo's critics never accepted the reality of his contract extension either.

Just a personal headscratcher for me. :) /rant

I get the TO dislike, I do not get the Prescott hate. It makes no sense. Unless there are reasons I'm not aware of or we're not allowed to discuss, it's bizarre. Not only is he playing at a high level, but he's a pretty solid person. The salary concerns are just silly. Romo took heavy fire in many ways when he was playing. Oddly, he got elevated after retirement to HOF status. Maybe a certain kind or caliber of fan just hates our QBs in general.

Let us not spark discussion about the various practical or not practical reasons why Prescott is disliked. ;) It is what it is.

On the other hand, the salary cap concern pertaining to Prescott is premature. How his signing will impact the franchise's future player acquisitions is purely speculative as it applies to specific roster additions. There should be a wait-and-see approach adopted in my opinion. There are too many variables in play before automatically proclaiming Prescott cannot exceed with the talent the front office supposedly cannot supply him down the road.

Dak will have to put up with it, just as Romo did, just as Danny White did and Don Meredith did. Until or unless he wins a SB his critics will never stop. In 2016 I was told he could not throw the deep ball yet his stats prove that as false, he is inaccurate yet again over 69% would say that is false. Remember this is the same fan base who many said Steve Walsh should be the starting QB over Aikman after winning the only game in 89 season. Critics will not stop it falls to Dak and this team to shut them up by winning it all.

He missed some deep balls last night and his first INT that he threw right to the DB was bad, but Dak owns the G-Men.

2nd longest winning streak against NYG for a starting Cowboys QB at 6 games (yes, I know they’ve been bad the past few years. Still a division rival).

This is me. I hope each and every one of you suffer when he signs. I hope it ruins Campbells soup for you too.

What stood out to me was how Dak was tossing darts downfield with authority and precision. In the second half, he was commanding deep throws hard! No fluff air balls. Total authority.

‘Twas a beautiful thing.
