Tag him! In the game-win column, Dak has regressed big time from his sensational rookie season. 8-8 is so mediocre that if I were JJ I'd have made an offer in the below 30mil range. Honestly, if Dak had any humility, he'd have taken the first offer of plus 30mil and run with it. He really deserves the tag. I know, I know, there's no 'I' in team, but here's the thing: there's a reason the QB position is the highest paid. So, if there was really no 'I' in team, QB pay would be commensurate with the rest of the players. Frankly, it's a poor man's excuse to blame the entire team for an 8-8 record and then let the QB off with a slap on the wrist. Stat floater QB's like Dak are only good for one thing: floating balloons at a festival.
But at least Dak now has an opportunity to thrive under an entirely new, and proven coaching staff. Still, I don't hold out much hope he will do any better than he did this past year. Why? Because Dak still can't read defenses very well, and his footwork is as bad as my butt work on a mechanical bull!
This is why he is not deserving to be paid in the top 5 QB salary range. This is also why he's losing fans quicker than water down a drain. Because for him to think that he's on par with TB, and now Pat Mahomes, well, he needs to be locked in a room for 30 days watching the GOAT Super Bowl winning QB's, like Montana, Staubach, Aikman, Bradshaw, perform!
