Go for it all this year; Tag and Trade Prescott next spring

[mcmvp]

Garoppolo got a 1st rounder for next to no experience... Bradford got a mid 1st rounder and he sucks and is oft injured.

Prescott could get a 1st rounder from someone. Miami is a team that comes to mind if they really don't like Rosen. Tampa... Tennessee are other possibilities. Denver if they sour on Lock a very good possibility.

Garappolo went for a 2nd rounder

Bradford went for a 1st because the Vikings were desperate. They were a team that was ready to roll.

Dak is more valuable as a Cowboy than anywhere else based on the offense they run. I don’t see a team giving a 1st for Dak if even the Cowboys are willing to part with him

Question for the OP and others like him: Were you around during the Carter/Drew years? Romo spoiled Cowboys fans by giving the impression that finding a franchise QB is easy.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Its because once you pay Dak you cant pay everyone else and the next QB being on a rookie contract will enable Dallas to keep al their stars and good depth players. With a young QB on a rookie contract they could even bring in a couple big name FAs.

The cap is going up every year, no reason why you can't sign everybody you want. Average money per year is not what you should be looking at. Until the deal is done we don't know.

The problem with this theory is you have no clue how the rookie will turn out. Would be 2-3 years before you get the rookie, everybody on the team is now older. How long will it take the rookie to develop could take a few more years, now you have wasted the talent on the team as most will be 30 plus years old. It's foolish... Finding a franchise QB is very difficult, you remember the QBs after Aikman? Once you don't that guy you keep him because he is the most important player on the team and one of the hardest to find.

but it is possible. teams get desperate. there are teams who have had worse QB situations than us. sometimes the FO feels the need to satisfy the fan base. sometimes they feel like they are a contender & incremental improvements could push them over the top.

 

[Section446]

Nobody is stupid enough to give a first for Dak.

 

[McKDaddy]

as i read the tea leaves right now, no deal is going to get done before the season (for any of the three players). They are going to let Dak play it out & see how they feel at the end of the season. Amari is content to play out the year. They are in a standoff with Zeke. Games are going to be missed. At some point, Zeke will come back but whether he accepts a deal the team wants or just plays out current salary & hopes to force their hand next year. I would say odds on that are 50\50.

Man some of you people act like a decent quarterback is easy to find. You’ve been spoiled with the good run of luck we’ve had at the position and think it will just easily continue to infinity and beyond.

Yup, my fanhood started with Quincy, Ryan Leaf, and Clint Stoner. Maybe that's why I suppose I'm more appreciative of Dak and Romo. Those were bad times, and we lucked into Romo and Dak.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

If you have a top defense, top O-line, and Ezekiel Elliot, there’s no possible way to lose more then 10 games regardless of how bad your QB is.

So you're saying we'll sweep the Eagles?


AGAIN....

You can sweep us all your want if we’re winning titles and you’re doing the same thing you e done for the last 23 years, then yeah knock yourself out.

In a way, we’ve become your super bowl. Funny how that’s worked out

 

[Praxit]

Dak is going nowhere. He's the face of DC for at least next 10 yrs. The risks of finding another QB as good as him, are to wide. Knowing cowboys history.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Sign Zeke. 14.5M/year, all the guaranteed money in the first 3 years.

Sign Cooper. 18M/year range.

March 2020: Tag and Trade Prescott. Some team without a longterm QB will inevitably go 7-9 (thus be out of the running for Tua/Herbert) and trade a 1st and 3rd (or better) for Prescott before the 2020 draft.

Re-sign Jaylon Smith and Byron Jones at market value. Consider extending a guy like Awuzie if he balls out.

In 2020, Draft heavy on defense in the secondary and Dline, especially in the early rounds.

Roll with Rush and White as your starting QBs for the 2020 season. Don't bring in a has-been like a Fitzpatrick or Bradford type. See what the young guys have.

Ideally, have the best defense in the NFL and still go around 3-13 in 2020 due to bad QB play. 2015 season redux, without the promising start and the glimmers of hope from Romo "when will he return"?

April 2021: Draft Trevor Lawrence.

Have the best young QB in the league on a rookie deal, the best offensive line in football, the best defense in football, and the best running back in football... plus a top 5 WR in Cooper and another stud in Gallup out there. Perfect situation for the most surefire QB prospect to come out since Peyton Manning.

Open up a new 5+ year window at the top of the hill with a top 5 QB on a rookie contract.

BINGO!!!!!

Get over your Dak hate. Dak is going nowhere. Deal with it.

Good. Just as the Cowboys don't want some teams low 1st.

WENTZ that breakup doll gets hurt how good will y'all be then? Y'all only... "one" that Superbowl cause y'all had Nick in the Foles. But he's not there to save y'all this time. So.....

Fall. Eagles. Fall.

In fact put a bag over your head when you come to this website. Talking about y'alls our Superbowl.....pff. PLEASE.

 

[Jarv]

No one thinks Dak is worth a 1st in a trade, but he is worth 35 million dollars/year?

Wow!

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Shouldn't we just have a subforum for Eagles fans only?

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Three Eagles fans talking to each other about their idiotic theories on a Cowboys board.

We’re only a backup QB away from our next super bowl, and we’ve got a few yet.

If someone is dumb enough to give them a high second, they should take it yesterday. Getting a QB better than Dak won't be hard to do.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Really?... Jerrah gave a first for Cooper , so nobody is clearly out of the question .

 

[America's Cowboy]

These Romoholics keep dumbing down this forum. Going on the 4th season after Romo already...
