Those are reasonable arguments.
In the end I think we have to evaluate is Dak at the same level around the league as Elliott is for example in comparisons to his peers at his position.
It’s my opinion based on what I’ve seen and taken in is Dak probably deserves close to top 5-10 money at this time. I don’t think I’d place him at or near the top of the league in talent or performance over his 4 years.
Everyone of course is entitled to their own view. But the offers we’ve made appear to be very fitting to his talent level and where I think even some of his most ardent defenders would place him.
What happens I think is hardcore defenders want to defend him against the more overly critical fans . Most fans I think are more in the middle believing Dak needs to be paid but not the highest paid .
I don't disagree but when I see other players who come up for FA and get top money it is not about are they the best and deserve top money. It just does not work out that way, last season the top 5 paid QB where not top 5 QB. In what universe is Wentz or Goff able to make the same or close to Rodgers? They got it because they were up for FA. I like Wilson but again in my view not the best QB but his contract was coming due and he actually gave the seahawks a deadline or else he would not sign at all. Again I don't agree with the NFL system but it is the way it is. I could wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up the fastest or accept that this is the way the NFL operates.
