Did Dak bet too hard on himself?

[glimmerman]

He didn’t bet on or take into consideration a nasty injury like his ankle. Set him back a while. Now his hand. Hoping he is ready and just keeps it simple. Run the ball and play action off that. We don’t need to be a pass first team. We are a run it down your throat and get the ball out. When we wear you down we take our shots. If you give us the match up we will take deep shot. He don’t need to throw for 300 or 400 yards..

Never got that complaint lol. Like you don’t pay him yourself why care what he makes? Salary caps are maneuverable and rarely is one contract so inflated that it restricts a team significantly.

Ya its just the last non issue that they make an issue. Fact is they were complaining before he got paid. The number has grown since the pay day but there was many prior to it.

Hopefully he learned one thing from watching Rush....don't turn the ball over.

Sadly is was against the most hated by Cowboys fans, the Egals. But Rush did play well. He could have easily been a turnover machine while Dak comes back to a 0-6 hole to dig out of.

One thing I find most consistent with Mr. Prescott is his inate ability to prove the doubters wrong. He will be fine and lead the Cowboys to the post-season.

 

[GRCowboy]

Lamar Jackson's the one who bet too hard on himself and might never get paid.

What I meant was, Did he push the envelope to a place where he can't deliver? Based on his salary.

Yes i did understand you.

My point was that he doesnt care. Prescotts goal was and is money. If you dont care about your actual worth or what your bring to the table you did not push anything.

Believe me he is fine.

First off, I'm a supporter of one Dak Prescott.

It feels like jerry and Dak are not on short dial.

Now that Cooper has drove the bus with the rest of the team to a 4-2 start, now enters Prescott.

The only answer to the next two games is 2-0 or God help this forum.

Time to shine Dak.

I'm not sure how this relates to the title of the thread.

 

[CouchCoach]

I'd say he bet really well. 31M got him 160M.

Of course he cares about providing worth and what he brings to the table, but contract negotiations are about getting the best deal you can. In that context it's about market value, and whatever perception of that you can try and make the other side see and feel.

Except that Rush has thrown more interceptions per attempt than Dak in his career, but sure, that's important for this team to stay away from

I'm sure Dak is very concerned about the mood of this forum.

No they arent. It depends on the person you are.

The best deal can also be taking less but playing for a team you for instance dreamed of playing. Or being able to live near your relatives. Or so on..
The best deal is not getting the most out of it for yourself and dont caring about the consequences for your surrounding. That is egoistic and asocial. And it is not something to support or show understanding.

Prescott did care ONLY about the money. That was his best deal. Only the money counted nothing else. That says a lot about this person. And he fits this franchise.

They aren't what? Talking about market value and trying to convince the other side to see as much value in them as possible? Of course they are. That's why there is a negotiation, and why they pay an agent to do the negotiating.

It's certainly not the norm for a player to walk in without an agent and say he is flawed and therefor will take whatever the team thinks is reasonable, nor is it the norm for the team to just agree to whatever the player thinks is reasonable. There is back and forth with both sides starting at a place the other doesn't want to accept and they eventually meet at a point both sides are willing to agree to

Rush's INT% in his career is higher than Dak's.
Rush's INT% this season is higher than Dak has had in any season since 2017. Dak has always been a very careful passer in that way.

Dak has had a fumbling issue on and off. I can't find good consistent numbers on total vs. lost fumbles (anyone know where to get those?) but he's fumbled (total, not lost) roughly once every two starts over his career as far as I can tell. Rush, on the other hand...has fumbled once every two starts over his career.

The FA QB market will always overpay. Always.

Y’all should be mad at the Jones not Dak. Could’ve signed him for around 30 mil but they said prove it another year, he did, then they had to pay the market rate.

 

[TwentyOne]

They aren't what?

Contract negotiations are NOT about the best deal you can get. And especially not about the most money you can get.

of course, if you are an antisocial amorphous something then it is.

As i remember it was Dak who demanded more money.
And no, he didnt want to sign for 30 mils. He wanted 35 and a 3 year deal.

 

[Shane612]

He probably did, but not as much as his ardent fans here.
Although many are walking that back.

Ok, so we’re still taking about paying him less regardless of who’s numbers are right.
