Dak Prescott's rank on NFL's worst contracts list makes no sense at all

[Swagger]

It’s the worst contract in NFL history besides Deshaun Watson’s.

Yep. $231 million guaranteed. 4 year contract. No trade clause. The quarterback in question has a 2-4 in the post season on some good teams. Unbelievable yet it actually happened.

Some people always try to thrown in the likes of Tua, Lawrence and Herbert and claim hey look at their contracts...but the huge difference is that they were all high first round picks and it's their first major contract. When those quarterbacks have been given a modicum of a good team they have all played well. To my knowledge they have longer contracts to work with the team. Plus they can all actually move 2 yards without tearing their hamstring off the bone as well.

I'm not ranking this deal against others, that's just click bait and nonsense overall.

But it was a bad deal and you don't do bad just because it could have gotten worse.

- proven non performer in the play offs
- rather severe injury (he did have a good regular season after that but was less mobile)
- age
- was asking for his second big contract
- was asking for a (then) record amount of money, which in itself wasn't justified
- even during his stats raking seasons a no show against contenders
- not Daks fault but the team wasn't about to win a championship and they weren't building a championship bound group, so bad strategy also

All in all they should have gone with a full rebuild. But what they were doing was, once again, going for mediocrity, going for safety. They thought Dak would be always good for a +500 season. He wasn't, even before the injury last year.

As said many times, I don't blame Dak for going for that deal. You only got one career

But I do blame the Jones boys for handing it out. For wasting another half decade of my time. For (seemingly) not thinking in championship windows but rather in "let's just be always part of the upper 50%" boredom.

Anyone got that video of a retired David Carr owning Dak Prescott?

Since jerry had set up a lame duck, losing season with his offseason actions, why sign dak at all?
Why not let him play out that year then sign him after the season ?
Why give him the no trade clause again ??
