Bob Sturm: talk of Dak being untradeable is nonsense

[diamonddelts]

Sturm thinks he's never wrong. The reason he's untradable is because it would kick in 89 mil i if dead money

No trade clause in his contract. You could bench him. But he does not have to go anywhere unless he chooses to sign off on it. Dak has all the leverage. Not the bumblimg front office. People keep glossing over that fact and want to live in their own reality.

 

[CATCH17]

Jerry Jones kept Jason Garrett long after he should have been gone, and when he got rid of him - he really didn't want to it was public pressure that did it and thus the sinking of a storied NFL franchise ensued. What a disaster Garrett was. Jones also signs players that underperform to pay scales about 3 tiers above what they are. Both Prescott and Zeke need to go ASAP.

People talk about all the things Jerry Jones did that was negative to this franchise.

Keeping Garrett for a decade as the head coach is far and away the biggest mistake he ever made.

He sacrifices a entire decade on a guy that was clearly terrible.

 

[khiladi]

Dak has ZERO leverage if Jerry actually wanted to win. This is the same guy that kept a thousand times better QB in Romo on the bench for this guy and his rookie contract, thinking he could get away with an all-pro line and RG, while he trained Dak, on that same rookie contract.

Bench him and have him exercise his trade option. It's on the books anyways and you have to draft a rookie QB anyways.

Went ahead and repeated it with the Jason Garrett of QBs project in Dak Prescott... neither of them ever showed anything to be given that much amount of time.

 

[stinkface]

ok, Dak maybe tradable. maybe fetch a 3rd at this point or fool a team to up it to a second based on performance. but zeke is not tradable, or maybe just for a 6th or 7th round pick at best. who would want to take on his salary for his 2.5ypc output.

I think Dak would at least give you a number one. He is still considered young and outside of playoffs his numbers are good, real good.

 

[baltcowboy]

How is he in the fire? The same sucker fans come in every year and fill the stadiums and inflate the tv ratings. They buy all the merchandise out of the pro shop every year. The same suckers will fill Jerry's pockets win, lose, or draw.

So tell me where's the pressure?

I mean he will still make his 140 million guaranteed so no real pressure. The fire meaning every throw he makes will be questioned by every talking head trying to get ahead. Orlosky already has Dak as the worst quarterback in the division while Stephen A has jumped off the band wagon.

People used to defend Garrett too.. lol.. That’s what Cowboy fans are capable of.

 

[khiladi]

People always talk about the analogy of Aikman and Romo, as if the franchise was in a similar state when Dak got here. That whole franchise was a complete mess, one of which was just the QB and Jerry was basically just trying to play and play, based on the old model. He spents years trying to draft the next Haley. Dak walked into an ideal situation and it's basically the exact opposite of those days, as the NFC East was terrible when Dak came and he had all-pros at OL in pretty much every position and a top flight RG. Dallas could have added any decent QB and gotten much better results over the long run with the franchise state that Dak walked into.

Starting Dak was a set back for the whole organization, just like hiring Garrett wasted Romo's prime years, as they spent years coddling Garrett and Dak.

Why would opinions by a failed athlete and other average Joes be considered the fire? They have zero effect on a professional athletes life.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Here's a thought:
We bring in a new OC and new offensive system.
Dak has great stats and his trade value improves.
We trade him then.
Cap hit is more doable next year as well.

Hilarious. I bet you Dak detractors never felt this way about Romo.

Am I right? Be honest.

What are you talking about? Aikman and Romo stepped into much better teams than Dak ever did. 2 years into Aikman's career, Jimmy Johnson facilitated the Herschel Walker trade that turned the Cowboys into a team loaded with the best talent in the NFL, including backup players. When Romo finally started, he completed his first full starting season surrounded by a franchise record 13 Pro Bowlers. Dak had some weapons around him but nothing like Aikman and Romo did.

 

[Bing]

I dont keep up with who makes what but I thought I read where Dak was guaranteed 39 million in 23.

$49 mil I believe

First of all the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest. We all know that. For pete's sake, Ken Hamlin was one of those 13 and he was garbage.

But playing devils advocate, pretty much the same roster as in 2006 when Bledsoe played half the year as starter, but only 5 pro bowlers that year.
That doesn't seem odd to you?

Same roster. # of pro bowlers nearly triples when Romo becomes QB
As we've been telling you, he elevated the guys around him

And LOL about Aikman stepping into a better team than either of them.
Good grief, they were 1-15 his rookie year. Jimmy said (quote) "some of his Miami teams might have beaten them"

Meanwhile Dak walked into a gold mine, had his best year out of the gate, and then began a steady descent.
And you're dutifully carrying water for him no matter how terrible he plays.
Is there any length you will not go to, any sewer level depth you will not sink to, to defend this bum? Seriously?

 

[IceStar-D7]

Jerry will trade him for a 6th and a bag of chips. We get straggled with the salary. Jerry says "great deal"

so lets play it the otherway. if there is a QB like Dak out there. would you give up a #1? would you give up a #1 for Goff for example?

 

[nobody]

The correct thing to do is keep Dak...don't restructure him and take the cap hit, but draft a QB early and start looking for his replacement immediately. Project Dak is a failure. Time to take the medicine and move on. That's not to say he doesn't have his uses. QB's aren't easy to find. However, don't feel you have to start him because of his salary. If you find a rookie QB that can light it up in training camp, bench Dak.

No, I wouldn't. But look at what has been paid for Wentz over the years. There may just be a team or two that will want him, who knows.

Give he Hooker in the 2nd since he won't be playing this yr anyways with that acl. Let him get his body right, use the yr to work on his game and learn the system.

if there is anyone who is willing, then by all means.
