Honestly so many of the Dak discussions are simply childish.
The Cowboys are not trading him, they are not franchising him, they are signing him.
QBs are incredibly difficult to find (unless your the Jones family, who find them as free agents and 4th round draft picks -- could you imagine how bad the last decade or so would have been if they didn't stumble on to Dak and Romo), and the Cowboys have one that has played at a level that requires large compensation due to service time, statistics etc.. No way around it.
The team as currently set up is simply not going to strip to the bare bones and try some imaginary trade up to get a QB when a third of the league is tanking for one. It's not going to happen. The only option is a franchise tag, choose your type, and that comes with great risks.
But all that aside, the majority of Daks threads are ridiculous troll efforts or with little to no understanding of the league in general, or the Cowboys specifically.
It's nonsense.
