I ve been a fan of this team for 50+ years.
Ever since FA appeared, we have tried to beat the system and try to circumvent the rules.
Now the system has boxed us into a corner.
The team has tried Dak as the Franchise QB and just can't get it done.
Multi-million dollar OL..
Multi-million dollar RB..
soon to be multi-million dollar WR..
soon to be multi-million dollar QB
No titles on the wall..
HC and staff just fired.
Sorry.
Paying Dak at this point will destroy this team for the next 5 years or however long Dak is signed for.
The Jones made a huge decision to finally end the Garrett Experiment in favor of a real football coach.
They righted the ship. But now they are about to mortgage all the future on Dak?
Beyond belief to me.
We have worked for decades to fix our cap, draft wisely, hire capable executives like Will Clay to steer the course..
and we are going to sink everything into a 4th rd draft pick who has come up short like Dak has?
Impossible to believe but it's about to happen.
Whoda think it?
Don't want to beat this into the ground but this team is really in a pickle.
Pass the ketchup and chili.
I need something to disguise this hotdog as I am being asked to eat this thing as a fan.
I know there are tons of threads screaming about alternative paths for this.
As I look at teams who have paid their QBs the big contract, I see them on the sidelines and not playing for a SB.
The Vikes, Packers, Commanders, Pat's, Chargers, Carolina and several others nailed to cap numbers that are designed to stop their ambitions.
Only the 9ers with Jimmy G is paid and playing for a title. But look closely.
He did not have a great season. He completed like 6 passes in each half of the NFC Championship.
I think if that is what it takes..
then keep your money Jerrah.
Let Dak walk and find another QB. I could care less if Dak has the team over a barrel or visa versa.
If Dallas pulls the contract off the table..we are free of all this. Dak can hope some other team to spend the huge salaries required to support his average skill sets.
They won't. Plus pay him $35 mil/yr?
Not going to happen.
I would prefer letting McCarthy go find a QB he wants and play ball.
Draft a defense and another QB or sign a FA QB and in a couple of years before all the offensive guys we have signed start retiring. .
we will have a real shot.
For once I want to see a coordinated push with management, coaching and players and fans united in a clear goal we all agree can work.
Too much to ask?
Comments.
I am never against drafting a QB if you think he is the next Payton Manning or Mahommes. But the odds of finding a QB as good as Dak is (and he is better than I thought he was going into the season in 19) is easier said than done.
We should have signed Dak when we had the chance to a team friendly deal. Now he may end up playing out the season on the FT.
