That's where I have him. And if we keep improving as a team and winning I couldn't possibly care less about the "elite" title. Who cares?Middle of the road... sweet.

I hear ya.That's where I have him. And if we keep improving as a team and winning I couldn't possibly care less about the "elite" title. Who cares?
Good post. I worry that the QB market will keep getting higher before Prescott gets extended. Just like Romo's bloated salary (and you can say that about most) it will only restrict the ability to sign talent around him. If, that is what happens. I think Prescott is a great young man who brings more than just an arm.S'ok by me, as long as they're sold on building the right team around him to contend and controlling the cap and not have too much to too few. Does anyone really think Prescott can't win a SB with the right team around him?
There's no way this team is going to get a QB that makes everyone happy. If they had Mahomes, some would complain. And they're not going to get within reaching distance for these blue chip QB's coming out next draft or Lawrence in the following one.
The fact is Dak Prescott has made the decision for them because he is the "bird in the hand" QB. He's won 66% of his games, started every one, won the East 2 of 3 seasons and continued to show the leadership skills necessary for a QB at this level.
Doesn't matter whether you are on board, this train is leaving the station with Dak Prescott as the engineer and like his predecessor, his story doesn't sway the doubters. 4th round pick, 3rd choice of his own team, 3rd string QB comes in to lead his team for the third time in his career and take the #1 spot. This one is almost as good as the one about the UDFA QB.
Middle of the road... sweet.
I'm not "adjusting" a damn thing. I'm not the guy that has to. Now go ahead and move those goalposts again!
Great thing to say before he plays his 4th season. Glad to have Jerry and Stephen running this team....
"I'll make a claim and force others to validate/discredit me"
LOL a lot of big brains here.
I dont believe those 3 guys suck but they arent living up to their contracts and thats the issue, do not over pay or outbid yourself, why? just make him an offer 25 4 yrs 100mil 65 guaranteed the first 3..gives both sides a chance to redo it in 3yrs like RW..its just gambling right now on potential, his numbers say hes top 10-15 pay him like it or let him shop deal and match it..That's hardly "run first" numbers - that's balance numbers. Let's take a look at people with around similar or less attempts than Dak.
Philip Rivers - 508 attempts, 32 TD passes
Deshaun Watson - 505 attempts, 26 TD passes
Drew Brees - 489 attempts, 32 TD passes
Baker Mayfield - 486 attempts, 27 TD passes
Mitchell Trubisky - 434 attempts, 24 TD passes
Russel Wilson - 421 attempts, 35 TD passes
Despite Dak being within the the top 15 when it comes to pass attempts, he was ranked 16th in TD passes and compares to Stafford, Carr, and Manning - three QBs this board says sucks.
No one in this thread said any of those QBs sucked.That's hardly "run first" numbers - that's balance numbers. Let's take a look at people with around similar or less attempts than Dak.

Deshaun Watson - 505 attempts, 26 TD passes

Peyton Manning was putting up 85 TD's over the three years during the "three yards and a cloud of dust" dark ages of passing that this guy would have you believe have been totally reinvented.

I don't believe it's what they pay the QB, it's those other salaries that are a concern. QB money is just stupid but it's stupid for all of the teams.Good post.

No numbers say he is "top 15" - he's closer to to being outside the top 20 and compares to Mariota and Carr. But we'll overpay because that's the QB market.
So throws are ranked about 15 and TD passes are ranked around 15...That's hardly "run first" numbers - that's balance numbers. Let's take a look at people with around similar or less attempts than Dak.
Philip Rivers - 508 attempts, 32 TD passes

I'll bring things to the table other than "ERA!!!!"
I don't need "validation", that's already there in the numbers, and certainly don't need any from you. You go right ahead and continue to destroy whatever credibility you might have had. I'm doing just fine.
Matt, couldn't we say this about every NFL QB not named Brady........I mean all of them re overpaid with exception of Brady
So throws are ranked about 15 and TD passes are ranked around 15...
Got it.
