What does Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson have in common? They both were 3rd/4th round picks that because of their success at QB as rookies allowed there teams 4 years to stockpile talent (draft, FA, re-signings) to challenge for a Super Bowl.

The difference is that Pete Carroll is a better Coach/GM than Jerry Jones. 4 years on Russell Wilson rookie deal the Seahawks went to 2 Super Bowls and 4 straight playoff appearances. The players he accumulated prior to getting his QB and the players drafted/signed after allowed this to happen. Even after rebuilding, the Seahawks are a team that is contending for a Super Bowl consistently in the playoffs 8 of 10 with Carroll as HC and 7 of 8 years with Russell Wilson at QB.

Jerry Jones had the same opportunity hitting a double with Dak and Zeke in 2016. However he did nothing to move the team from 2016. He got rid of Dez, kept Jason Garrett as Head Coach, did not sign any defensive free agents to move the team forward, let all the starting LBs (excluding the injured ones) , S, and CBs walk, traded away CB Chavarius Ward, let the Lions get CB Micheal Jackson, and gave away his 2017 no.1 draft pick freely to the Dolphins in 2019.

So why would and should Dak Prescott take a discount on his contract to get to a Super Bowl allowing Jerry "jocks and socks GM" Jones to build a team around him? Jerry Jones has a 25 year track record of not getting to a Super Bowl as GM. In fact Jerry did not build around Dak, he subtracted from Dak.

So a home town discount was not earned by GM Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott should hold out for the bank.
Dak simply put is not Russel Wilson regardless of who is coaching him.
Dak is also surrounded by far better offensive players than Wilson.
I guess what stopped me from being a Dak fan is that he seemed to be a totally different player at about the midway point of last season.
Oh sure there were flashes here and there but it was almost as if winning was unimportant to him. Maybe he was upset with not getting a contract... who knows what’s going on in his head.
But when you play a division rival that is fielding players who the week before were not even playing in the league and manage 9 measly points against.
You Mr Prescott are not elite. Period.

How many teams did he beat with a winning record?

None...

See I look at guys like Brady and yes Mahomes did anyone really doubt after KC scores the first TD with less than 6 minutes to play that he wasn’t going to find a way to win...
Maybe, but most like myself know the intensity this guy plays with... losing by 10-20 doesn’t matter he just doesn’t quit and gets it done.

Now can anyone make the same argument for Dak?

I say he doesn’t want to sign at around 32 mill per year let him go play elsewhere and see what it’s like.
