He's paid like an elite top 5 and he isn't.

He’s the 8th highest paid QB this year. Every offseason he’ll get eclipsed by more and more guys.

Also, a QB contract isn’t based on where they are ranked lol. If you don’t understand how contracts in the NFL work I totally get it, will be glad to explain supply and demand to you.

Interesting…I haven’t seen it broken down like this.

I fully understand that, and that condescending tone implied, that provides you with a feeling of superiority that you must need.

No, we are all humans here. I don’t mean to make that tone but this has been hashed out so many times on the forum.

If only elite QB’s got paid then there would only be 4/5 high paid QB’s. Anyone considered a franchise QB will be paid top dollar. Is it ideal? No. But is it the reality? Yes. Kyler, Cousins, Carr, Wilson you name it. Not elite but paid as such due to the scarcity of competent QB’s.

Well, Jerry, just go head and make him take a paycut..

Oh wait..
Trust me, you can go back and look, I was criticized for saying he wasn't worth before he was signed.


If I was Jerry, besides counting my cash, I'd have hired a real GM, Head coach, staff, and spent more wisely, to add to the 5 SB trophies in my display case.

He's in year 7, what's been missed that all of sudden he's going to improve on having annually played some of the worst teams in the NFL until this year?

His stats don't mean squat.........

The topic was since his return, swung to comparing him to elite QB's , and I merely pointed out that he's a known quantity given his experience in the NFL.

He's pretty much Zeke in a different position. A money suck to this team.

Cool yeah that was never my point that he’s elite. My thing is non-elite QB’s get paid elite money because of the nature of the position. Just like the QB’s I mentioned in my previous post.

Expecting only elite Qb’s to be paid top dollar is like expecting only top 5 NBA players to get max contracts. Once you’re deemed a top 14 guy, you’re getting paid top of the market. It’s simple supply and demand.

The market is the market my man. Guys like Dak will continue to be paid like this unless there’s a sudden flood of elite qb’s, which there won’t ever be. It’s just a reality fans need to get used to. Seems like the board finally understands too lol, this hasn’t been a topic in a minute.

Pre broken ankle Dak Prescott was mobile . I saw some of that against Minnesota . He’s best when he’s on the move giving his receivers time to get open and when he does run he knows what he’s dong he knows where the sticks are . This is a winning look.

Having a very good defense helps him immeasurably. The defense allows him to play within himself. He doesn't have to take dumb chances. Yet he still does sometimes.

Oh, and Pollard and, to a lesser extent Zeke, help as well


What quarterback doesn't receive help from their defense and offensive talent.....

These Dak threads are like being on a Merry-Go-Round. We've made zero progress outside of seeing the same views go by again and again. :laugh:
