You can only go by what you watch... Unless you can put all of these players in the exact same situation... it really means nothing.
If you could take all of the cowboys games, every play and insert Aaron Rodgers, Carr, Dalton, Mahomes... whoever... Then, we have something that matters.
Outside of doing that you have your eyes, and that is really about it for comparing QBs.
I am saying that for every QB, not just Dak...
BUT COME ON....
We have the Dak lovers, Dak haters, The people on the fence, the highly critical, etc...
When it comes to Dak... really... if the FO thought he was as good as Mahomes, Wilson, and many of the others out there... Do you really think they would have waited?
Does anyone really think Jerry wouldn't have signed him, and been pounding his chest that they have their new QB god?
So obviously it isn't just the people on this board, the organization wasn't or isn't sure as well...
Do you think Jerry after the season Mahomes had last year, wouldn't have made him the highest paid QB at the beginning of the season?
These guys are around Dak every day... They know what they have in Dak. They are trying to assess what it is really worth to them, and to the team.
I mean it isn't just some of us that are skeptical when it comes to Dak... the friggin FO is as well. When has anyone remembered Jerry
being this patient to get deals done, with what he thinks is a homerun, no matter how bad or good it is?
Stephen isn't stopping him... if Jerry was that gung ho, this deal would have been done before the first snap of the season for sure.
When Jerry wants to do something, no one stops him from doing it, other than him.
