CFZ How many more years will Dak be a starter?

[StarBoyz83]

I'd say probably 6-7 more years. still has 2 left on this contract and I think he will sign another 4-5 year contract after this season.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

If the Cowboys ever trade for a new QB or part ways with Dak you’ll stop coming here. You only come here for one reason.

As I place the glory of the team first and foremost and not 1 single inept man crush called Prescott, bud I'll be here loving the Star and hanging out at this fine establishment and enjoying the ambiance.
What you Dak lovers are going to do here after he gets the boot not much I presume but spew hatred probably against our new starting QB.
Hate is what you guys hide behind and pretty much live for.
Life is short so enjoy bud......and leave the hate at the door.

If there was an ounce of truth to that you would show up after the Cowboys win. You’re a no show after they win a game. Lol However, you show up immediately after they lose games and continue your Dak bashing. You’re not a Cowboys fan. You just have nothing else better to do than to carry on the same tiring agenda. looking for attention. I have you all figured out.

"who are we going to get to not win big games like dak once he's gone?" does it matter, he might not win big games either but what will be the difference? oh salary.. pay the man....

 

[cowboyed]

With nutritionally dense IVs and colonics, seasonal hibernation and state of the art revival techniques I think Dak can start for at least 2 more centuries.

we can only hope.... In those 2 centuries us dak worshipers we can keep seeing him shirtless.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I suspect that Dak will be here longer than Jerry.

Its obvious, just like the undying love for garret!

 

[Proof]

Were in uncharted waters. Never before has a slightly better than avg QB been paid like superstar elite QB. This whole QB salary has defeated the purpose of the salary cap. I will say these kids being drafted are much more highly trained than they have in the past and they're teaching them to running a pro offense.

never before? literally all the time

 

[Proof]

I agree can't this be moved to the, "I'm in love with dak forum"?

I think you’ve got more posts talking about loving dak, dak shirtless, pet names for him etc than the rest of the board combined.

 

[Proof]

Yeah, I disagree. I think a team should move on from a QB if they are unable to move further in the postseason after giving said QB ample opportunity with similar results (especially with regards to offensive struggles at the QB position). I would say 5-6 seasons starting with any QB gives you plenty of information as to trajectory. If the team was progressing instead of stalling, then I would agree with you.

The team does not seem to be building forward momentum, but plateauing.

Jimmy G was decent. Purdy seems to be decent. Lance (who knows). Farve and Rodgers were played another 3 years after drafting their replacement. Even though their successor was drafted in the first round. I doubt that Dak lasts into his late 30’s unless the Cowboys devote tons of resources building a dominant rushing attack. He’s not like these other QB’s playing into their late 30’s-his play style is quite different. I still say max for Dak is 5 more seasons. That’s only if the team keeps producing winning regular seasons with him.

i feel like letting amari go threw a monkey wrench into evaluating last year, personally. losing him and having gallup a shell of himself downgraded the offenses ceiling in a season our defense was finally a force to be reckoned with. getting cooks and upgrading the defense with gilmore and mazi and i feel like this year will be the best team we’ve had since 2013

 

[Toro9]

He'll be a starter into his mid-to-late 30s... I'll say 36... At least his last two years will be with a really bad team... Jets or Browns.

 

[visionary]

I’m going to say max is 5 years. It could be much less, and I tend to believe it will be more like 3 more years. The reason I think this is his playing style and injury history.

QB’s that play way into their 30’s are very good at managing a disruptive pocket. They excel at picking apart defenses with precision and timing. That is not Dak’s game. He and the offense as a whole revolves around the rushing attack. Dak can complement a dominant run game by taking advantage of an overzealous defense.

The problem is he has lost noticeable speed and agility-and he was never a fantastic runner to begin with. He has poor take off speed and poor lateral agility (relatively speaking) which will make him a target in the pocket this year and any season that follows it.

I say all this knowing that if he and the team continue to rack up regular season wins (despite next to zero playoff success), he will get several more years to start.

Too many

Most of our starters don’t play a long time.

I think Aikman started the most games?

with jerry as GM , lol maybe 12 more years..........its a process!
Dak will be making 75 mil a year for the last 4 years.
He will buy another house with a actual stadium on it instead of just half a field.

Sorry but I disagree. I believe good qb talent is hard to come by.

Meh, "good" QB talent is not that hard to come by. Great QB talent is truly very hard to come by.

And that's what they're saying. They're saying that, given that great QB talent is so hard to come by, it makes no sense to pay your merely good QB great money, when you can most likely go draft a merely good QB and pay far less, using those savings to maintain a great defense and maybe a great O-line.

Have to put all those cap-hit figures on the other side of the scale when making these evaluations...

 

[Floatyworm]

Should have lost his job last year to Rush.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

The 214 era ends in the Spring of 2024.

Makes you wonder what would have been if Romo had stayed healthy and played that 2016 season with that o-line and a rookie Zeke.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Sorry but I disagree. I believe good qb talent is hard to come by.

The team already proved that is can win with a game manager under center. Dak Prescott is an average QB who is being paid like a stud. Makes no sense to keep paying premium dollars when you can improve the overall team and continue winning without spending a fortune on Dak

 

[The Fonz]

Until the end of time

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Should have lost his job last year to Rush.

Why do you think he hurried back. They never expected the team to rally and go on tha 5-1 run with Rush.
