My goodness. Marcus Mariota? People believe Dak is the reason why Zeke faces so many stacked boxes (which is significantly less than they think). That said, Henry faced stacked boxes at a much higher rate with Mariota at QB than Zeke faced with Dak.

And this is the type of QB that is a much better option than Dak to receive top dollar? Simply laughable.

Cam Newton is going to be available. He would be amazing in Dallas.
I'd rather see Dallas get Cam than pay big money for Dak.
  • Case Keenum is available. He led the Vikings to the NFC Championship game. He is a better deal than Dak.
  • Marcus Mariota will be available. He would be better.
  • Tom Brady will probably be available.
And more.
As I said, I will back Dak if they sign him.
But there are much better options.

When you included Mariotta, I stopped reading.

Man.....I thought your idiocy at the ranch was just an act.

nope- this is really you.

do you ever get tired?
Wow.
What an intelligent post that has nothing to do with the subject.
So, I assume you think Dak-despite the fact that he choked when things got tough and cost the Cowboys the division title- is the best deal for the Cowboys, even if they have to pay him top money?
That's what the thread is about.
I think the Cowboys can do better if Dak is going to cost a multi-year deal at $30-35 million per year.
I would sure hate to know the Cowboys put that much of their salary cap into a guy that hasn't played good against the tougher teams.

Let's face it: Dak is a holdover from Jason Garrett. Garrett chose him and abandoned Romo-after wasting Romo's entire career- and Jason thought Dak would make all of his dreams come true.
But Dak was like Garrett in the fact that he never had to earn his spot. He never learned to face pressure, and was forgiven when he would choke.
Then Dak was made team Captain in just his second season, further inflating his ego and further ignoring the fact that he had not achieved anything.
So this season, when things got tough, Dak seemed to have no problem just sitting back and waiting for someone else to lead the Cowboys. He quit on the team and let the season disappear.
Why? Because he has never had to earn anything.
He doesn't understand that it was his responsibility to make the Cowboys better.
So, yeah; if the Cowboys are going to have vhf to pay top dollar, they can do better than Dak.

There's a reason Dak hasn't been signed yet. There's no such thing as coincidence when it comes to money.
He hasn't shown that he can be "the man"; he's shown more readily that he is average, at best.
I don't see the wisdom in paying him top money when there are better deals to be had.
I agree. I'd offer him 30 ish for 3-4 yrs, then franchise him if he doesn't bite.

However, the foolishness of your thread was claiming scraps like Keenum and Mariota are better. And Cam hasn't been good since 2015.

Yet Case Keenum-not Dak Prescott- has led his team to an NFC Championship game.
Dak has proven repeatedly that he will flounder against real competition.
And Mariota is a victim of timing; the Titans got their act together towards the end of the season, but Mariota had led them to what should have been wins and lost due to dropped passes and missed field goals.
The Cowboys lost because Dak missed wide open receivers and threw the ball into the ground.
You may not have watched Keenum or Mariota, but you have seen Dak Prescott choke repeatedly in big games.

Huh? You make less and less sense.

I have watched both Keenum and Mariota many times. They are both terrible. What's funny is that you accuse others of not watching them, when it's blatantly obvious that you have not!!!!!!

Brees is the only guy I’d take over Dak. Keenum would make a nice backup for us.

I'm not a big Dak fan but come on...Keenum and Mariota? :eek:

Why the surprise?
Think about and review Dak's performance against teams with good defenses the past 3 years and Keenum+Mariota could not do worse!
Hey, bud beating dog teams like the Giants and padding your stats in Garbage does not make for a great QB.
Jeez, Teflon Dak lol you can't make this stuff up baby!

I dont get the Keenum hate.

He's nothing special, he's not elite, but he is a serviceable NFL starter and has shown that on multiple teams.

I suspect that his name hits a raw nerve with Dak supporters.

Stop embarrassing yourself.
No one gives a crap is you will support him if when we sign him.
Why do you keep saying that like we should care who you support or don’t support.

anyone who comes to a football forum and says they would rather have Case Keenum is either trolling or beyond dumb.

The Cowboys have gone way too far in making this team QB friendly and the team is making Dak more than Dak is making the team. Top 5 oline, top 5 running game, top 10 defense. The Cowboys are set up for a good rookie QB to come in and light the league on fire.
