who's triggered? I'm just pointing out that Wentz, with 3rd string players, beat the much-touted stats, Prescott. What's your take on what Jimmy said about dak?
"Jimmy Johnson: Cowboys QB Dak 'Can't Carry A Team' To Super Bowl. ... I like Dak,'' said Johnson, speaking to Colin Cowherd on FSI. "I think he can win you a championship if he has great players around him. I don't think Dak can carry a football team if he doesn't have great players around him."
just in February he said Da was an outstanding qb? so what's your point?
“They need to get him signed! They should have given in to the four-year deal last year. Would have saved them some money. They wanted five years. But they’ve got to get him signed. And not only is he an outstanding quarterback, he’s not Patrick Mahomes, but he is an outstanding quarterback and on top of that he is a great leader. Leader for that football team. So they need to get him signed. And the other thing is, until you find somebody better, you don’t ever give up a quarterback.”
“...They should have signed him three years ago. They should have signed him two years ago. They should have signed him, you know, last offseason. And every time they did not sign him, the price just kept going up. But they need to get it done.”
What Johnson said here is pretty general and widely-known information, yet somehow it still needs to be said. For the third year in a row the Cowboys are trying to lock down (to say it again) the most important player in the locker room and seemingly refuse to pay him market rate when they have had no issue reaching that price for low-level positions that Jaylon Smith and Ezekiel Elliott play.
Prescott’s leadership has always been a talking point when it comes to assets that he brings to the table. While some have questioned exactly how tangible this is, the state of the Cowboys locker room this past season when he was absent from it on a weekly basis seems to put that all in perspective.
