Some may disagree but I would argue the Giants, especially after signing Burns and drafting the WR in the 1st round. Right now Danny Dimes is the only thing holding them back. So, Dak on the Giants team certainly makes them better and you argue perhaps better the Cowboys.
Giants offensive line allowed 85 sacks last year and isn't that much better now. Dak in New York would be one of the worst career moves he could make.

It’s hard for you doubters to understand but it’s not all about the money. Many of the players, including Dak, want to win a Championship. They let their agents handle the business. I get it, it’s easy to hate on Dak or Cee Dee or Parsons about their contracts but it’s the freakin NFL. There’s such a thing as a salary cap. Dak and Cee Dee will get signed And it’ll be here in Dallas.
Dude, I agree with you. I look through Cowboys glasses. The decisions I make in life do not always go for the most money. I lean towards the best life. But I automatically assume players lean towards money.

We’ll have too see how improved NY is this year but if we had to base on current status and recent history NY isn’t a more talented or better team based on recent history.

I think it depends how much more.

Can’t see Prescott bolting for a couple million a year but he could 10 million.

Edwards states the mistake isn’t money related as he’ll get paid wherever but going to be difficult going to a more talented playoff caliber team.
We don't know what his priority is. I'm just assuming money. Think about it, if you're stupid rich, and you want to be somewhere, why would you leave for 5-10 million? Back in 2019 I took a 20-30K pay cut to go to a much easier job that made my life much better. Granted, I still made good money despite the cut, but you get the point.

Dak will not be playing next season for the team he wants the most, but for the team that wants him the most. Players don’t have the loyalties fans do. Well run franchises like Kansas City and San Francisco stand in the way of Dak and a Super Bowl win no matter where he plays. He’ll take the offer he likes the most. Not complicated.

The number of All Pros and Pro Bowlers isn’t hyperbole. Unless you’re prepared to denounce all in the NFL. If we can’t establish that as an individual barometer as Edwards used then where do we start?

Again , if you follow Edwards narrative and facts of teams potentially available or in need of a QB, Prescott is limited to going to a more talented playoff caliber team that potentially could make more noise in playoffs.
Edwards's narrative assumes we are still a playoff team and I'm not sure you automatically say that, especially with the refusal to replace starting free agents from last season. Honestly, I don't think Dak cares.....players follow the money. Look at Deshaun Watson.....he was min from signing with the Falcons until the Browns offered a deal he couldn't refuse.

Of course but that wasn’t the point and argument Edwards was making.

All you can do is present narratives in what we currently know based on recent or current history. Can it change , of course.

And Edwards argument isn’t about following the money which he thinks will be ample wherever he goes.

The argument is what better teams can he go to which are in need of a QB. It’s limited at best.

It’s why he thinks Prescott should choose to stay in Dallas.

Yes but how much different would your decision have been if your career and earning potential was limited to a few years instead of lifetime ?

Are they going to be in need for another Franchise QB? You think they’ll dump Wilson for Prescott?

And you’ll like Daks chances with Pitts to have more success in tougher AFC?
Time will tell. What success in the NFC?

He needs a real GM.

That’s not the question?

Let’s assume they are a better or more talented team. Will Dak be in a better position with Pitt in AFC for more success which was part of Edwards point.
Yes, better off with out GM Jethro.

You know what happens when you assume.

I’m not sure if you read entire article from Edwards but he stated that there are 4 playoff teams in NFC arguably as good or better( SF, Phi, Det and GB) which don’t need a QB.

The same in AFC in KC, Balt, Buff and Cinn who all don’t need a QB. We can probably throw in Clev and Jax also playoff teams as well.

So , almost anywhere you go you’re arguably not going to be in any better position than in Dallas. I believe it’s an excellent point and why I shared.

Fair enough. That’s assuming players care about winning over money. They don’t but there a separate topic.

Staying on topic. Those teams are good bc they have good QBs. Not bc the teams are good without them. Put a good qb on a bad team and they are instantly better
Yeah, three straight 12 - 5 seasons = a bad Dak-led Cowboys team.

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Far better coach. Far better culture. Definitely more likely to win there than here.
We all will appreciate you changing your fandom to Pittsburgh. They’ve not done well in the playoffs of late :lmao:

We could say that about any team but would we say they are a more talented or better team.

I’m beginning to think everyone didn’t fully read Edwards remarks .

I agree but not impossible
Edward's narrative is limited to the talent around him but what about ownership? For all we know, Dak could be fed up with Jerry and Stephen with the way they have handled his contract negotiations. Remember when he was negotiating his current deal both sides couldn't stop brown-nosing each other. Now it's not hard to see it's all business now with both sides covering their own _____. You don't hear any I want to be here regardless or we want him to finish his career here. I understand Herman is saying what team has more talent but again who to say there aren't other key factors impacting his decision?

Of course. Edwards has no idea what’s in Prescotts head . But Edwards narrative is sound. And why I shared.
