I agree but it didn’t placate the people who highlight every negative and try to tear down every positive stat or opinion of Dak. So they have been harsh QB critics over the past 4 years but now all of a sudden see value and potential in a worse QB making at minimum 75% for one year what Dak made in 4 years total. That makes absolutely zero sense to me.
You're talking Dalton?
You have to make the proper comparisons and be clear on just what you're judging.
Dak was of course a fantastic deal on his rookie contract. That didn't make him a fantastic QB on all those years, though I'd put him easily top ten as a QB, top 5 for young franchise QBs to sign to a long term contract.
As for Dalton, comparing what he'd make *this* year with what Dak made *in previous years* is an irrelevant comparison.
Dalton + Trade value of Dak + 31.4mil > Dak
That's the relevant comparison if you think it's time to move on from Dak.
Dalton + Trade value of Dak + 31.4mil >? Dak this year + chance to resign Dak next year
That's the relevant comparison if you think you might be able to sign Dak to an acceptable deal next year.
