Dak: Mediocrity, McClay Cap

[FanofJerry]

The anti-Dak comments that basically suggest mediocrity is not acceptable dont make sense to me.

Numbers wise....you are more likely to get mediocrity for years post Dak.

And...Dak isnt even a bad QB.

What is the boards opinion of McClay and his staffs ability to put a super talented team on the field without Dak and his contract?

San Fran hasnt won a thing.

Dont move goal posts to SB appearances or WC Finals.

I think McClay has shown an eye for talent...I just think the league with QB pay at current percentage makes more sense.

QB is the most important position...and finding one is hard. San Fran cant even win one with a good team and a rook contract. Which...makes me believe status quo is better than trail blazing.

 

[FanofJerry]

TL;DR

I think the Cowboys, if they pay Dak, is a pretty sound move.

I think the league pays QB's a lot and its not a Dallas problem only...and I think Dallas as a very good scout in McClay to put rook contracts around Dak.

It seems the FO might be put off by Dak based on last negotiations and expecting it again now(4th Rounder for Lance)...I think the Cowboys know France and Dak want tip top money and are reluctant. If they dont cave and let Dak walk....its all on McClay.

He looks very good in camp right now.

WM is nothing more than a yes man who knows he isn’t lasting long anywhere else because results matter and he’s produced none. Move the goalposts, too funny Dak and co. Can’t make a CCG let alone a SB, the FO sucks from the top down to bottom and keeping Dak just means pay someone who never going to win when it matters, you keep being happy with the regular season but those cupcake nfc east teams aren’t going to be push overs much longer and Daks stat padding and production is going to fall. Afraid of the unknown is your problem because you’re happy with the regular season when that doesn’t happen I wonder if you will still be so happy since postseason means nothing if you don’t win the SB according to your logic

First SF has made it to the nfc championship game 3 out of the last 4 years while we are chumps in year 29 without an nfc championship appearance. The 49ers playoff success is world ahead of ours the past three decades.

Second, QB is the most important position by far and we have a top ten QB. Dak has been disrespected by the Jones boys in every way while they treated and paid Romo like he was Peyton Manning without the post season results.

He’s looked good in preseason for 8 years.

If they gave preseason trophies……Dak’s trophy case would be full.

Unfortunately for us real fans……..the playoffs are what really matters.
Is the 9th year going to be the charm for Dak to show up in the playoffs and be a leader instead of a hindrance?

LoL what goal posts? How about we even get as far as SF first and then start talking smack. Purdy got more play off wins already.

Interestingly enough, the worse our play off performances get, the more active our homers post each off season.

Robbie....clutching to the Playoffs as a shock instigator....what a contribution to the forum.

Sounds like you left your heart in San Francisco. Is Bullit your favorite movie?

I’m just citing facts. I saw “the catch” game live and it remains the most crushing loss in Cowboys history. You’re not really contesting SF playoff record vs our playoff record the past three decades are you? All I’m doing is using facts not subjective opinions about the reality of our playoff record. Only Washington is worse in the NFC. Sounds like you don’t like to live in reality.

But the 49ers have been to 2 super bowls and a championship game. How is our status quo better than that?

 

[Coogiguy03]

Just give him the money, and let him show us how much he doesn't need it!

 

[shabazz]

Have you copy and pasted that same cliche for 9 years now?

Jeez, wake up and smell the coffee already!

He's somehow attempting to equate the Niners playoff sucess to our 2-5 playoff record over the same period

Denial and false equivalence is strong in that one

The Cowboys have consistently been rated as one of the best drafting teams in the league since McClay has come on board by other organizations and football critics.

There have been numerous reasons why that has not translated to playoff success, some individuals being blamed more than others.

Diminishing SF because they have not won a SB even though they've consistently been able to compete for a SB almost every year since they've hired Shanahan and Lynch doesn't help your point.

On what studies do you lean that thesis on ?
Please post some works on that.

QB is the most important position...and finding one is hard.

I dont believe in that narrative. Finding a QB for us(DC) is hard just because we dont invest into finding one.

I would suggest you post some studies on that to prove your thesis.
If you dont have them then maybe you did your own work on it. Please share it with us to prove your point.

BTW: There was a post a week or so ago that showed that 48% of the QBs drafted in the first round have a successfull/good career. That number was the highest compared to other positions.

You have to look at Dak, and every player, like a business deal. That CAP forces this. The game GMs have to play is squeezing in the most talent for the least money. The question is, how much is whatever talent Dak has worth? It has to be a finite amount. Every dollar you give Dak is a dollar you take from somewhere else. There is no one answer. There are 53 moving parts. But every contract potential impacts every other contract.

Dak is a good QB but he has not been able to elevate his game in big moments. That doesn't mean they can't win with Dak, it just means they need to balance the talent levels elsewhere to compensate. This isn't just a problem in Dallas. It is a problem for every team. So the question for Dallas is, can they build a Super Bowl team by paying 4 or 5 players top $ then filling the rest of the team with JAGs? The Cowboys are faced with paying Dak, CeeDee, Micah, Diggs, and eventually Bland and Ferguson. Then they have Tyler Smith to pay in a couple of years. I am sure they want to keep these players but paying Dak and Micah and CeeDee might make that impossible.

I am not excusable the Cowboys miserable performance with these contracts. This is not new news. They knew this was coming and should have addressed it long ago. Yes, they should sign Dak, but not for $60 million. Yes, they should sign CeeDee but not for $35 million. The problem now is, the Cowboys are faced with getting nothing in return if they let their players walk. Comp picks, even 3rd round picks, are not compensation for losing Dak and CeeDee.

Who, Dak? He always looks good in camp. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. But there's a big difference between a practice defense giving you 10 seconds to make your throws versus 2-4 seconds in a real game.

 

[acr731]

San Fran hasn't won a thing.

Damn, dude, they've been to 6 NFCCG's since 2010 and played in 3 super bowls.

Please explain how Dallas has done anything remotely close to matching that?
