Jerry Jones on Dak Prescott: He’s young and he’s going to get extended

[KingintheNorth]

Good points, the story could've been much different had the FO and Coaching let the PRO QB play when he came back healthy and ready and have the 4th rounder QB watch and learn for a couple of seasons, then let the PRO QB retire the right way and have the developed QB take the Team. but we know the history...

For all the "Dakota is the Future" guys , in 2016 I didn't read anyone questioning the same Coaching Staff and demanding Dakota to get help and "be better", everybody were claiming Dakota was the future and he was ready to take... no..no… no... to LEAD the Team. Fast forward 2018 he is not ready and he needs help and development? So we benched an experienced PRO QB who was ready to compete for his job, in favor of a - now all of the sudden - inexperienced, crude, inaccurate, can't read defenses, "needs development" QB? and in the process we lost a future HOF TE and the #1 WR. The cost has been too much and yet there are some who demand to "invest" more on this useless QB.

Now that the league has figured Dakota the results are everybody's fault but Dakota's. Some talk about Dak's "great" leadership.... I see a Team demoralized, failing and not even caring or respecting the Star, if that's how leadership works then yes, Dakota is LEADING the Team.... to a losing season and complete failure. Accountability must start with the QB, bench that clown for life, then sweep the Coaching staff immediately after, rebuild in 2019 move on from the pipe dream of 2016.

If it was up to me, I'd let the new HC & OC evaluate Dak next year. Reason A being he's under contract for one more year. Reason B is that there are no clearcut QB1's in the draft or free agency. If Dak doesn't show TREMENDOUS improvement in 2019, you let him walk and you go all-in on getting your guy before the 2020 season. I'd like to see what someone like Urban Meyer or Lincoln Riley could do with Dak.

Did the Admin restore the posts from 2017? just wondering.....

Seriously though, How many "one more year" will this useless QB get?, somebody questioned in Tweeter that maybe the "simplistic" offensive plays are called because that's all Dak can read, if he can't read defenses he can't read complex WR routes, that's an interesting way of viewing the play calling situation.

More like he has not been given the Green light to audible out of terrible play calls.

Daks demise is all on Garrett and Linehan calling the plays and to be honest Linehan came from appalling offenses in the Vikings / Dolphins and Lions when they were at their worst.....

No doubt, that should be the plan:
1. Hire Lincoln Riley.
2. Sign veteran QB (Teddy/Fitz/Siemian).
3. Competition for QB1.
4. Evaluate results.
5. Draft 1st round QB (2020) to fit system.

You just called the names of the same people who coached Dak in 2016.... and now 2018 is the coaches fault? (no defending them, I say fire 'em all including the QB) If Dallas get new Coaching staff and retain Dak as the starting QB I am afraid the problems will continue in the 4th year, Jerra is talking extending already and the rhetoric will change from "it is the OL", no now is the "DL" no now is the "LT", no now is the "suspended RB", no is the "#1 WR" , no is the "Coaching Staff" to no, now is the "Stadium facilities"... seriously the list of excuses is ridiculous.

Seems like a sound, rational plan.

Instead, Jerry will:
1. Hire Jeff Fisher.
2. Promote Kellen Moore to OC.
3. Extend Dak in the off-season.
4. Hold a press conference.
5. Continue to not contend for championships.

Please be wrong!

[bodi]

well if they extend Dak get ready for more 8 -8 seasons

 

[TimHortons]

well if they extend Dak get ready for more 8 -8 seasons

We'll be lucky to hit 8-8 this season. We'll be back to the 5-11 years

Daks rookie season was an exception to the rule because no one knew how to play us, it did not take long for opposition defenses to adjust to us when we were so 1 dimensional and what did that same play calling do in the playoffs that year after the 13-3 season regular season? We were worked out pretty bloody quick and nothing has changed.

Bad results start from the top and besides 2016 which was a fluke season IMO the coaching staff has done nothing and Garretts woes also go a fair way back before 2016.

The guy is useless and a woeful HC while Linehan is no better and what has he ever done prior to coming to us? His CV is atrocious and that is being generous.

You all know Jerry aint going anywhere. Two things need to happen Garret needs to go and they need to find a QB, but that aint happening and as long as dak is slinging it continue to expect lackluster offensive performances. Dak will never win a bowl

 

[plymkr]

I see nothing wrong with extending Dak as the back up. I would like to hear the plan to bring in a starting QB.

This is exactly how I feel. Extending him past his rookie deal is different than locking him up for 7 years at 17 million a year claiming he is the franchise man. If Booger means he's going to extend Dak with a 3 year 15 million dollar deal with a 5 million signing bonus to buy time to find a franchise QB, then I'm fine with that.

 

[Carter]

Maybe we can transform him into a Safety like we tried to do with QB Jameil Showers

 

[lockster]

With out doubt, jerry is a bold face liar or he's insanely insane! After today I now know jerry needs to be committed.

 

[nate dizzle]

So Dak being young is the one quality that Jerry was able to identify as a reason to extend him?

Really set the bar high in Big D, huh?

 

[Bullflop]

I only hope that if Jerry, indeed, extends Dak, it won't be a deal that affords him far more than his contributions, which are meager.

Dak Prescott is a nice guy -- one of high moral character but a QB with very limited skills who might best be suited to be a backup.

 

[baltcowboy]

These last 8 games will decide if Dak gets a new contract. If he sucks, Dak will not get the extension. The one good thing about Jerry is he will not throw anybody under the bus. He owes Dak because of the 2016 season and his stand for the flag comments.
