First off I don't think the Cowboys agree with your assumption that Prescott is average at best. The 40 mil a year figure is pie in the ski numbers and I seriously doubt it ever was/is a serious number. From everything I've read or heard Prescott turned down the 33 mill a year contract because it was 5 years and he wants a 3 year to coincide with the new TV contracts.
Think about what you're saying. You say Prescott is an average QB at best and you want to then sign some journeyman QB that won't be any better and maybe worse and then you say drasft another QB in the 4th round which was the same round as Prescott and you think that QB will be the answer.
My answer to your ideas is that I thank God you have nothing to do with the Cowboys players anything.
.
man are you thick someone close to Daks production at HALF THE COST is simply an option or a b/up plan if you will.AND YES DAKS SHOWN TO BE AVERAGE AGSINT THE BETTER COMPETITION down the stretch.. it was obvious when under the most pressure I the biggest moments he faltered..im not hating ive been supporting dak from the fence not hater nor a homer, realists eyes wide open.. Ne, Buff, CHI, and the second philly game plus regardless sof injury the Rams game was bailed out by the run game....
Dak and his agents are being ridiculous to turn down the deal at 33 because of years.. he unlike some players at QB has maybe one possibly twio contracts coming after this one.. if he turns into what they are in their own minds before the deal is up Jerry isnt cheap and will redo the deal 3-4 years from now..the 6 years is team friendly helps them allocate monies now to make the players around him beter plus insurance should dak continue to loom as he did the last 6 weeks of the season..
i'm sorry but you HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN.
MY INTERNET GM SKILLS is saying you must not let Dak strongarm you into a deal that he simply doesnt deserve, hes not élite and wants elite money, you FT him with NON Exclusive type let him seek deals and match get picks and let him walk,. we should Have all along had a case keenum or fitz type backup but now more then ever we need one for insurance and as a bridge..
you want an example last year Big ben goes out Conner for most of the year the backup gets hurt and the steelers use a practice squad QB with string defense and goo ST and great coaching job to limp to an 8-8 record..
we go 8- with relatively healthy team around dak and what, he blows it down the stretch, he didnt have one game where he willed us to a win or we win the decision and make the payoffs.. so now we pay this player his demands and possibly cripple our team??
im saying fans need to see this has been an issue Dak may have peaked and hes inconsistent hes had thes stretches' in 2017 , 2018 and now to finish 2019 where he regresses for 3-4 games..all qbs have a bad day or two but I witnessed this and lie I said those other years we were missing players this season he did it with a pretty healthy team..
thers a reason players like Fitzpatirck and Keenum as well as others are backups its because they play great 70% of the time but they are being judged on the other 30% which make them very inconsistent, Daks showing that type of play right now , great in stretches beats the easer teams on the 2019 schedule but when it got tough he wilted..you want to pay a player like that 20% of your cap?
so he turns down a very fair offer tells me his ego and the people in his ear are puffing him up as deserving of Elite money and its not the truth..
