They all agree he isn't a top tier quarterback , but Jerry Jones is completely convinced Dak is top tier .
Reminds how Jerry has blind faith in Garret , with no accountability .

The clip is over 9 minutes long but these eleven seconds are the only important part. It is what I have been saying for years about Jerry Jones' thought process. Not everyone else's mindset. Only Jerry Jones.
Prescott was always going to be paid. That decision was very likely made as long ago as late October 2016. Jones already had a franchise quarterback. Jones determined he had secured a replacement franchise quarterback that he drafted in the fourth round.
His new franchise quarterback was already on the roster. So, any question about trading for franchise quarterback died the day Jones said to himself, "Prescott is a franchise-caliber quarterback."
It is difficult for those who do not like Prescott as a quarterback. The same goes for those who initially liked Prescott and later changed their minds about his skills as a quarterback. Ditto for anyone who does not appreciate how much Prescott's number will impact the team's salary cap or how much he should get paid in relation to an invented uneconomic based quarterback tier/merit system. This is because their own perspective seems logical and that's cool but it is completely irrelevant to what will happen.
Jones will pay to retain Prescott's services. The only questions are how long before it ultimately happens and how much at or above $32.5 million average per year (Wentz set the contractual floor) will he and Prescott agree upon.
