Stafford is a middling quarterback with a PFF focus grade of 15 entire spots lower than Dak Prescott as a quarterback. And a laughable passer rating double digits below too.
Considering NFL executives consensually rank Dak as a top 5 quarterback in the league Jerry has probably had several teams inquire about trade talks.
This is reality.
Dallas could have signed Dak long term at 29M a year two years ago without taking a big cap hit and then traded him right now for half a franchise had they desired.
People keep pointing to Goff and Wentz as examples of why patience was warranted but that's only if the guy sucks.
You have him in the building every day.
You should know him.
Had Dallas locked in Dak they'd be in the position HOU is with Watson as far as value not that LAR was with Goff or PHI with Wentz.
And if I can be honest here... I don't think Goff and Wentz are as awful as people think.
They just lacked leadership and it factor.
You put those guys in a fresh start situation with talent around them and I think they'll win games.
WFT/Indy/MIA/CHI there are some teams that could win with them.
And there are places like NE/DEN/NO where they'd be starters easily.
