What do the candidates truly think of Dak?

I get what you are saying. Hell, the salary cap itself is un-american. Why shouldn't more successful teams be able to spend as much money as they want on players? But we aren't dealing with an open, free market. This is the NFL. We have a salary cap. If the objective of the players unions is to get as many guys paid as possible, positional caps make a lot of sense. I doubt it happens too, but it makes as much sense as a rookie salary cap.

To me, the salary cap is much like a division / department budget. Sure department A could have an A+ quarter if given everything it asked for. But it doesn't help the business overall when department B fails to meet customer expections and is produces a bigger loss than department A could produce a profit.

As a fan of the richest department in the NFL, it sucks we can't get everything we want. But it is not good for business as a whole if only a handful of departments are successful while the majority of other departments are never competitive.

It's still a free market, but regulated by the business(es) based off the agreed parameters of the CBA.

Hey, idealistically I don't disagree with you. Lots of things in this world SHOULD work differently, but they don't.

There is one word thrown around my workplace that I have learned to despise. And that is "theoretically". My response is usually along the the lines of don't tell me how you THINK it works, proivde the Data that shows how it actually works.

Please don't think I am attempting to attack you. If that is how it is coming across, my apologies. I'm just pointing out how thing should work and how things do work rarely match up.

Just like when Romo passed for 4,900 yards, eh?

Yeah, I thought so.

Romo wasn’t known for garbage time numbers. What is wrong with you? Are you obsessed with Romo. Romo was a much better QB than Dak, but get over it. You have a Romo fixation that is unhealthy and constantly trying to run down past Dallas players exposes you as not much of a fan of the team and only a fan of Dak. You can’t make a point without mentioning Romo. You must think it upsets me for you to mention Romo and I was not a big fan of Romo until his final years. But I was far from being a big fan.

It's really not. All businesses have salary caps.

The NFL had no salary cap prior to 1996 and MLB still doesn't have one.

Whoever the next coach is, they have to be ok with Dak Prescott as the quarterback.

That's got to be a big part of the interview process. Some coaches are really hard on their quarterbacks. They need a certain type to run their offense. Otherwise, they have to strip it down, which castrates them as effective playcallers.

If Dallas chooses an offensive guy, he's got to believe Dak can run what he wants. That is crucial.

That's why a defensive-minded coach is likely the ticket. Let Kellen Moore stay as OC and handle that. Get a tough defensive motivator type. LSU took that approach when Coach O hired the Saints passing coordinator for Joe Burrow.

If you go offensive, the new guy has to accept Dak. How many if them might want another option, such as a first-round pick to compete? Would Jerry tolerate that?

I wonder what Riley, Meyer, or any other candidates think about that situation.

It makes a strong case for the Ron Rivera type. He knows what it's like to have a limited passer at QB. If course, Cam could run.

That wouldn't excite me, but it makes sense.

This is an intricate hire coming.

All joking aside, any coach is going to be happy as heck that we have Dak about to enter the prime of his career. Trust me when I tell you that they wont be complaining that they don't have Tom Brady at the position.

Doomsday said:

When Urban Meyer was asked on Cowherd about the Cowboys in regards to Lincoln Riley, the first thing he mentioned is that Dallas has Dak and Zeke.

Those two guys are going to be huge draws for any coach. They will be lining up to come here. Its basically a ready go made SB contender with your the skill at all the important positions.

A few players added at positions the Cowboys have ignored and a real coach gearing the offense to suit the players and we will be all set.

JayFord said:

You can work with Dak

His worst year was his second year which he still won 9 games and had more TDs than turnovers

Dak is a complete stud. Anyone that implies different is challenged.

cowboy_ron said:

Well, since he leads the league in almost every category he's probably a big drawing card for any future head coach.

And he's done this by himself and now kitna is there to help but before he had no real mentor to help him.

Click to expand...

Yeah, never had a mentor except his first year when Romo was there telling him everything the defense was doing.

Doomsday said:

That is absurd, the defense has been terrible in every loss but the Pats in a Tsunami and vs NO without Brees.

Pretty much every time the offense gets momentum the defense turns around and gives it back the next possession.

Click to expand...

Not only that, but with a void in turnovers, the offense basically has to go 80 yards every time to score. NO short field, not momentum swings, nothing to get them out of a funk. Just get the ball and drive 80 yards if you want points. Offense wont always be on point.

SDCowboy said:

I'd franchise tag Dak. It gives another year of evaluation, but it also doesn't lock the new coach into having to keep him.

Dak has been here 4 years. How can you not know what you have by now? It should be plainly obvious.

Only moronic fans have an issue with Dak.

ALL coaches would love to have Dak and this roster as a base to build from.

I have an issue paying an average QB $35M per year. Look at the Ravens how much damage signing Flacco before Lamar Jackson came around.

Dak is way above average.

Average QBs fail with Garrett as HC. See 2015...

Subtract those garbage time numbers and it is not nearly as impressive. He would be the main topic of any QB conversation that the talking heads discussed if his yards were as meaning for as some of the other QBs.

LOL...…….take away garbage time stats?

You trolls keep getting more and more desperate. Hilarious.
