Dak will be great in 2025

While you do other things that Mike did!! Eagle lover!!

What I find most disturbing recently about Dak is his mobility. He was never Lamar Jackson but early on he could at least punish a team for letting him run wide open. The last year or so he has been rather statue like. He looks like an older Vinny Testaverde.

That makes the o line's job that much harder, it takes running plays for the QB out of the playbook, etc.

IMO, his upside is rather capped at this point. The QB's that can pass or run have a noticeable leg up on him.

Saw the warning signs two years ago

I'm sorry. but I have to reserve judgement here. Dak will now have to prove he is what he and his salary claims he can be.

He has to answer some really hard questions.

1. Can he overcome injuries he sustained to his right leg. Both ankle and hamstring.
2. Can he overcome the lack of protection from his o-line in 2025 when it looks like there will be a serious rebuild.
3. Can he develop some new abilities that he hasn't been able to showcase as he is getting older. Help devise plays on the field. Identify defences as the coach on the field and beat teams with his knowledge. Lead younger players into understanding their jobs and performing with each play? This is what we should expect out of 10 year veteran when he suits up in 2025.

I have to be honest. Things don't look good from my vantage point for him. He needs a lot of help. Is Jerry and company the ones to get him the support? In 2025 look for DCs to challenge his mobility, by shutting down all the options a classic drop back QB would look for in the pocket. The current NFL looks for mobile QBs to use their legs to escape pressure and find answers by breaking down a defence with pocket movement.

That just doesn't seem to sound like Dak Prescott. How will 2025 be any different for him than 2024? Is the o-line going to be much better? Are the receivers going to get open faster? Are the receivers going to turn short passes into big YAC plays? Is the defence going to get off the field faster?

Way too many questions for Dak Prescott and team to answer.

People were saying "we weren't sure if that's what he actually said!" are you kidding me??? That's what he said, but he's a BIG part of the WE

I dont take issue with it. They do suck and he included himself in the WE. No matter what the man says some Karen will be upset.

Dak will be fine if he has a team around him. As the year progresses the board morons are forced to realize his play was often the result of the trash around him. That's not to say he didn't fail to elevate the team, or that he's worth the contract. It's only to point out the obvious when half the board just cries about the qb.

My biggest concern with Dak going forward is age/injuries. He has now suffered TWO season ending injuries, and one of the main things I'm constantly screaming at him to do is run the ball. I see that happening less and less going forward. We better hope we get a strong coaching staff and a run game to go with it.

The run game better work or you know this team we will pass until we can't pass anymore

Why? It's great...you should actually try it you might improve.

I kid...we should lighten up on each other...support group type stuff needed here!

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

At almost 33% of the cap, I'm not sure Patrick Mahomes could do it. Next year will be another throw away year to take a large bite out of Dak's big contract.

If it's a throw away year...why not cut Dak now? Eat the contract start the rebuild. Sooner rather than (agonizingly) later.

A 195M dollar dead cap. If they cut him next year, it's just short of 152M dead cap. Even as a June 1st cut the cap hits are bad. If they're going to have big cap hits anyway, might as well keep the player.

My thoughts

Don't care.

He was under the microscope before.

It will be worse than ever next year. And it should be.

No more excuses. Time to produce.

[Beaker42]

He will return as the leader and player we're paying to be the face of our franchise. We're down on him and have been down on him for years. He's faced tough injuries over the years. This injury will push him to work hard, and to get back in 2025 ready to lead us to a Superbowl. Who believes this will happen???? Please give your thoughts

I'm here for the comments!

Jeeebus. Chrithmus.

He can’t and won’t.

And make everyone suffer so.

If they have meaningless season cap hits...why not cut it off NOW...rather then suffer through it.

Money? To what avail? NONE. No advantage there.

Might as well ditch the player. (It would take some fortitude for sure. Neither he nor you have it)

They can't release him now. Dallas doesn't have the cap room to absorb that dead cap. If you mean after the season, you're looking at 152M dead cap hit. I don't think any team can absorb that. The other choice is roughly 75M for 2 years. If you're going to pay the money, wouldn't you rather have the player?

I said next year is a throw away year. Because it is. That doesn't mean Jerry sees it that way.

No..I'd rather not have the player. Whatever it costs.
Jerry usually finds a way out of any contract problems.

I;d rather start planning on the rebuild...which you say needs done anyway. So start it.

I'm not saying I'm right. In fact, if history is any indication, plenty of teams have taken your POV. I'm just not sure they took that big of a cap hit.

We like to 'reset the market".

No. No, he won’t. QBs generally don’t get better the longer they play. He’s injury prone now, which will make him even worse in the pocket because he won’t want to stand there and get hit. His best days are behind him.

Jerry has you right where he wants you.
