He isn't top 5 but I'd like to see Gottlieb list the 10 QBs that had better seasons last year.

And please spend lots of time on Goff and Wentz, who cost their teams way more money and draft picks.

 

[charron]

There is always a choice. But this organization is being run by fear and anxiety.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

I'm not one put Dak on some sort of pedestal, but I'd be interested in his top 10 that didn't include Dak. I take that back, I'm not interested because it would be a stupid list.

Well, Duh............but that non exclusive tag is looking sweeter by the day

 

[JJHLH1]

This is why Jerry should have signed him last year before Dak’s leverage increased.

 

[CATCH17]

Dallas will pay him and win nothing unless the CBA saves the day.


A slightly above average QB that is in a optimal situation and has no playoff success is about to get paid elite QB money lol.. Ignore all the trends Cowboys because you will have fans that applaud this.

I wouldn’t say having a horrible head coach that nobody else wanted as a head coach as a “optimal situation”

 

[cowboy_ron]

I would say he's top 10 and should be paid accordingly...........but he shouldn't be a top 10 and holding out for top 3 money.........it becomes greed at that point.

 

[cowboysfan99]

He's probably top 10, but definitely not top 5. Too bad he wants to be paid like a top 1 QB.

 

[DallasEast]

Not getting that 7:02 back. Ever.

Same old same old. Just a different guy with a mic.

"You cannot win by paying Dak Prescott!."

Fine.

Now tell me a feasible way of replacing Prescott that Jerry Jones agrees with.

"Trade up for Tua!"

That takes finding a trade partner or partners and packaging picks. Give me realistic details.

"uh. Sign Brady!"

Again. Takes two to tango. Brady is an unrestricted free agent. He has the opportunity to go where he wants to go. What does Jerry Jones do that will guarantee Brady signs with Dallas?

"oh shoot. wait. YOU CANNOT WIN BY PAYING DAK PRESCOTT!"

Circular nonsense.

Dak has been put on a firm foundation for any QB and as much as I don’t like Garrett he ran the offense in a way that depended on talent to beat talent and Dak just wasn’t good enough to do much in that time.

Fortunately for Dak we played Washington and the Giants 4 times or he wouldn’t have decent numbers to fall back on.

 

[OmerV]

There is always a choice. But this organization is being run by fear and anxiety.

Fear of being stuck with Cooper Rush or some other team's reject at QB seems like a reasonable fear.

 

[cowboyec]

yes he is.
this stuff is non-sense.

 

[doomsday9084]

Before we go there, lets ignore total yards. Winston was 1st in total yards and just about no one has him as even a top 20 QB.

Dak was 10th in passer rating last year. People like Goff and Wentz were not in front of him. There are a few that are in front of him that can be debated, like Carr but Rodgers was behind Dak and so was Watson and Brady.

IMO, around 10th is a fair rating for Dak. I can understand arguing a few of the faces both in front and behind him but when trying to be objective, I think its a pretty reasonable place to put down a peg.

Personally, I think its better to tier people. I would say this:
Tier I: Mahomes, Brees, Rodgers, Jackson, Wilson
Tier II: Dak, Watson, Tannehill, Cousins, Stafford, Garropollo, Wentz, Brady
Tier III: Goff, Carr, Ryan, etc.

 

[Idgit]

He’s a top ten QB. And that’s not how QBs get paid anyway. It’s a function of how recently you signed your contract. Which Gottlieb of course knows. But it doesn’t make for a good headline.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I agree

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

IMO Dak is top 10. Wentz & Goff aren't.
