For the kind of money Dak Prescott is wanting, the Cowboys can get just about any quarterback they want- even an established veteran from another team.
Why would a new head coach want to be forced to base his success on a quarterback who choked in front of the entire NFL in 2019?
The Cowboys can make a deal to trade up to the number one overall pick and take Burrows or Lawrence, or they can take Case Keenum in free agency and draft a successor.
They could go after Teddy Bridgewater, Nick Foles, or even Derek Carr. All of these quarterbacks mentioned have more impressive resumes than Dak.
I think Dak can be serviceable, but not great. And the Cowboys can't afford to invest the kind of money he is demanding in him after his poor performance in the last 8 games of 2019.
With a new head coach and personnel changes that will inevitably come with him, the Cowboys would be silly to invest big money into a quarterback who the film shows missed wide open receivers repeatedly with the 2019 season on the line.
The Cowboys can win next season, but they will have to do it with a more consistent quarterback.
Prescott was Garrett's last best hope.
They both showed all of the trademarks of Garrett's tenure in Dallas.
umm not saying to pay dak his demands but your reasons were lost with the statement,
ALL have better resumes?
no they dont..you are only as good as your last games and Foles couldn't stay healthy and when he got back in he wasn't good, as a matter of fact hes been bad everywhere but Philly..Bridgewater is and has never been better then dak and Carr isnt better thats a sideways move for a similar resume..
so instead say FOR THE MONEY those others might be a better option but no way any of that list are better then Dak..Dak shouldnt get a market deal after what I saw but if he wont sign for a 30million area and holds at 33-36 area, sure Non exclusive tag him let his seek offers and a trade..use that draft stock for anew rookie qb and a good journeyman..you might grab Herbert/Tua or later in the 3nd or third a Hurts to give them a shot..but you arent getting near Burrows..cinci need a qb and will take him #1 no doubt..
you might need a dose of relaity on what it would take to trade from 17 to #1 im betting nearly 4 hogh draft picks minium, you are mortgaging 2-3 drafts in rounds 1-3 for an unproven rookie? thats not goig to happen this season..
now if we are bad enough to be top 10 next year, which i doubt , theres a chance you can go from 6-10 spot to #1 overall to get a Lawerence type..
again twhat you proposed and reasons why are severely flawed IMO .
