Ok. It is only leverage for the Cowboys. Got it.
Fact!
Do you honestly think Dak will have multiple offers at the money he is asking for? What team that is competing will pay thaat for an early 30's-year-old QB who hasn't performed in the postseason? What contender will be in the market for a QB in 2025? Like it or not we are in a retool/rebuild and the time to win was last year, which we failed miserably. If Jerry was panicked he would have already caved to Dak's demands, but he hasn't. Micah and Lamb are younger franchise leaders on this team that deserve to, and should get paid before Dak. There is no world where we can afford to pay all 3 or it would already have been in the works. You are correct in that we don't have anybody that can replace Dak right now.....ie. that is battle-tested in the regular season. Our division has gotten MUCH stronger, and we have done little to keep up. We have questions on the OL (hope for the future does not help the present), no proven running game yet again, a disgruntled WR1, no WR2 and 1 TE. This is not the recipe that Dak needs to succeed, so there is but 1 thing that needs to be done at this point and many on here agree it's time even though it will hurt short-term
another great post that many don't understand....people just won't or don't want to get it
That wasn't the problem. The problem was he never got started until he spotted GB 2 touchdowns.
All of this is correct.
You have to have good team to win a SB. Winnning SB's is how you get into the HOF.
Some team is going to pay Dak Prescott a lot of money to be their quarterback. How much is really not the issue. What bothers Cowboys fans is Dak Prescott doesn’t care what team pays him to be their quarterback. What is worse, for Cowboys fans, Trey Lance doesn’t care who pays him either. Someone will be the Cowboys‘ quarterback in 2025. Cowboys fans have no clue who that’s going to be.
100% correct.
That’s why the NFLPA suggests and certifies agents. It’s only about money. Dak can afford to say “it is not all about making the most money” because he’s going to make a lot of it. He doesn’t want to stay with Dallas. The Cowboys aren’t trying to win a Super Bowl. Dak knows if there is no Super Bowl in his future he may as well just go get paid. Lance will leave as well. He’s not even being given a chance. The Cowboys are a hootenanny. Lamb has to be thinking 33 months and I am out of here. Parsons is jealous.
CD and Parsons will not wait that long. They will demand a trade if something does not change. They see how Dak is being treated and CD is now feeling it.
Who cares about the first 4 years.....what's his ranking in the LAST 4 YEARS.
Why is Dak Prescott still with the Dallas Cowboys?
Because he meet's Jerry's strategy of being good enough to get us to the Play-Offs.
So, according to you, Dak is not the issue as much as Jerry Jones is the issue because Prescott is still the Cowboys quarterback because Jerry Jones says he’s the quarterback.
......I answered your question as to why he's still here ATM (and on his present contract).If your assessment is correct doesn’t it make sense to dump Dak now and get started on a future without Dak?
The very reason that Jerry hasnt extended Dak, is that it looks like his faith in Dak (based on his personal performances SFx2 and GB) has gone. Looks like Jerry has come to his senses that going 12-5 means nothing if the same ingrained issues reappear every Play-Off.
The problem with you Dak Fans is that you want to deflect blame, there is no one binary aspect. Jerry for his part has put a 12-5 winning team on the field for the past three years....now it could be argued that he could of gone ALL-IN at the deadline to try and ensure Play-Off success.....but we arent one (or even two players short) eg Henry for a 1st Rd pick wouldnt of got us past GB.....and would of left us playing this season without an O-Line.
The problem isn't that Dak is a top 10 in your eyes QB in the regular season. It's that his play drops so dramatically once he gets in the playoffs. He plays with a giant apple in his throat and it seems to be getting worse every year because the pressure is so great for him to perform that he plays like a 25th ranked QB.
I wonder did he have Zeke those years?
