Fair enough. Nonetheless that’s become the going rate for highly functioning NFL quarterbacks. Other teams pay their QBs $50+ million and still intend to compete. Other teams end up having to make difficult decisions on who to keep and who they cannot afford. It’s no one player’s fault. Dak Prescott only had a hand in deciding his compensation. The other 52 players on the roster are none of his business. Since Jerry Jones is not going to give Dak the power to make prudent personnel decisions for the organization it isn’t fair he takes on the responsibility of compensation in general. The Cowboys can move on from Dak Prescott today if the spirit moves them. They haven’t done that. Proof Jerry Jones may be dumb, but he’s not stupid.
Well, no doubt our FO is our greatest weakness or handicap to overcome . The evermore reason we can’t afford to overpay our QB unless we believe he may be great enough to overcome.

You hear this talk all the time about QBs that just can’t win the big one. Dak isnt the first and won’t be the last. Not sure why some people are acting like this “anonymous exec” just reinvented the wheel? As a matter of fact, I’d question this exec’s intelligence for talking as if he did reinvent the wheel with what was quoted in the article.

  • A majority of U.S. adults (82%) say that there are times when it is acceptable for journalists to use anonymous sources, with 67% saying it is acceptable only in special cases – a view which echoes the standards of professional journalism

Most Americans see a place for anonymous sources in news stories, but not all the time​

I have always slotted into the 'only acceptable in special cases' category. There are very few instances when a sports related sport requires journalistic secrecy.

Anonymous NFL executive says quiet part out loud about Cowboys' Dak Prescott​

This Dak Prescott criticism hits very close to home.

By Jerry Trotta | 8:00 AM CDT​


"He always does well enough to be in the top 10 but never gets over the hump," said an NFC executive. "He makes all the throws. He's playing the position at a high level. But something's missing. There are a lot of factors in that, from the running game, playcalling, defense, and Dallas hasn't won in a long while. But certain guys are going to elevate their team late in the game, and Dak doesn't seem to do that."

This just in, the anonymous executive has been identified as Jerry Jones.......................................................
