Jerry thinks Dak can mature like Tom Brady

[Sarge]

Whatev…..

 

[CATCH17]

Jerrys quote

"I've really felt for quite a long time that Dak has the ability. But I think, like Brady became, in my mind, better and more impactful in how they won as he went through his career, I think Dak really has those qualities. I think he can get better."

All Jerry is saying is Brady went thru a developmental process and impacted in the win later in his career. Because if you remember Brady started out as a bus driver. Lol, so again here is Jerry basically calling Dak a bus driver. But thinks he's still growing but isn't there.

Brady took discounts to win.

We can’t build the super team Dak needs.

Get over it already and accept the reality that we are stuck until we get a QB on a cheap deal again because Dak may pad some nice stats but Cooper Rush can get a similar win % for cheaper and we can do a lot better than Rush.

 

[JoeKing]

Jerry's recollection of Brady's career is way off. He was a SB champion early in his career. At this point in Dak's career, he is what he is. It's time to admit he's not the guy and don't double down on him.

Yup then he went to tb and got 100 in 3 yrs on the cap. 20-22
In that same time dak has counted for 68 mil on the cap

Let's not act like dak has crippled the cap. 22.6 mil has been the avg the past 3 yrs for dak. Contracts like Elliot, Lawrence and Gallup are what's wrong, not daks deal. Daks is market value.

Yeah and he was carried by the team in the first couple sbs. That's what he means. Brady evolved from a bus driver to a franchise qb. See when Jerry talks like this he's actually saying dak is a bus driver right now without saying it.

 

[Concord]

God for once can't Jerry just shut his considerable Pie Hole?
Dak couldn't carry Bradys jock. Not not... Not in a million years.
You would think at some point he would stop making such ******* comparisons.
He's such a joke just about every time he opens his mouth.

 

[zeke21]

The only remotely positive thing to take out of the car crash of Jerry's last month of mouth piecing.. is that he (and his son) have been 'selling' Dak hard. I agree with some previous posters.. when a con man/hype man is pushing something this hard.. it is because he knows the con is nearly over and he is hoping to offload the last of his stock before the crash.

Immediately after the SF game.. Jerry was 'spot' interviewed and his comments were around "I thought we would have the edge at QB.. didn't turn out that way but I really thought that would be enough" or something like that. I remember thinking at the time that maybe Jerry had finally seen the light.

I am still, probably stupidly, of the hope that Jerry has seen the light.. but he also knows that he can't get out of the Dak contract this year.. so instead he does the hard sell in public whilst hopefully making some moves on the back end to get us a better QB in future years.

There is no way.. not even a drunk Jerry.. anyone could feel Dak is tracking like Brady.. not in his early career, mid career or late career.

Dak is 7 years in.. his peak was still his rookie year.. everyone can see the crash coming and I like to believe that includes Jerry. Now it is about looking at what comes next.

 

[mardwin]

If Jerry was the president we could officially enact the 25th amendment right now .

Based on recent history, i don't think that stuff actually exists.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Bull. Dak just needs to take what they give him, and teams can't stop him. He's proven this over and over in his career. But I think that contract has him thinking he needs to make all the plays.

Will more talent help, yes. As it will with every other team in the nfl.

Plain and simple Dak needs to step up. But so does the rest of the team. You can't keep harping about talent when ur always in the top 5 offense. Something was working. 12-5 season something was working. 40 on one of the best defenses in the nfl.

Keep saying the same things and it just sounds like a bunch of excuses

It was working, but not good enough to win a championship. Were in the 2nd tier contenders. Not even in the top tier yet.

This team isnt good enough, thats just the truth of it. QB's can step up for one or two games, but to expect QB's to carry teams against more talented teams for 3 or 4 games in not reality.

 

[CowboyRoy]

No QB could have success here or no QB could have better success here?

Depends what you call success. If success is winning a title than I doubt any QB can win here with Jerry as the GM.

You want to argue that Mahomes could? Its a better argument, but one that is moot. We dont have Mahomes and never will.

 

[pitt33]

If you saw the list of lesser QBs that have played in Super Bowls you might lower that bet to $500 or less.

I’m very familiar with the list.

Prescott isn’t going to overcome his propensity to lock up and play like crap when it really counts.

 

[SlammedZero]

Yeah be fed up. I'm fed up, but contribute something to the forum other then the same tired bull.

Incompetence?

Ok I'll give you a reality check then I'm going to block you.

First of all Jerry isn't coming up with these signings, trades, drafting. McClay is the one doing this with his people.they take that to Jerry and MM and ect...

2nd people like you were crying about the lack of freeagency. Lol funny how those 2nd tier FAs and trades turned into guys like Fowler and Hankins huh.

Then the draft, Dallas didn't pick your guys

You guys laughed at Smith, yup "Jerrys" Incompetence

Tc and preseason came you guys just knew this team was a 8-8 team at best.

Week 1 season over, right?

You guys say this team choked, how can they choke when fans like you never gave them a chance before the season even started. This is where the whole talking out of both ends comes into play.

You guys wanted amari cut, not traded but cut. Get him out of Dallas he doesn't want to play, blah blah blah. But because you guys heard espn hate the trade all the sudden you guys forget you wanted him cut, who cares about the trade.

You guys wanted Moore gone, he doesn't know what he's doing. You're happy when he's gone. The next day espn says Dallas will miss Moore, then all of the sudden you're pro Moore.

This is literally what you do every day. Hope it gets better for you.

Thanks for generalizing me. You know nothing about me. Now run along now and go block everybody that doesn't agree with all your viewpoints.

Guaranteed?

Around the start of the 2003 season, Brady was regarded by most as a top 5 QB in the league. Manning, McNair, McNabb and someone else I forget was in the mix. Probably Favre. Before opening day of 2003 (Brady's third season starting) he had already led the league in TD passes (2002). And of course won a SB and SB MVP two years prior. So, Brady was not some Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson out there who only had to not turn the ball over. It was clear the guy was a legit starter and very good.

Now, did Brady come into the league and light the league on fire immediately? No. He was not a Mahomes level player his first five years. He had a great coach, D, and good running game generally. But...he did not throw costly picks. He could win games in the clutch. He had a pretty good (Not great or elite) arm. You still need to score points to win Super Bowls. Many may forget. But the Patriots defense was getting shredded by Carolina in that second Super Bowl. Brady bailed them out and won the game for them. Without great skill position players.

Brady was looked at as a top QB. However, the general consensus was that he benefited greatly from an exceptional D and coaching. Around 2006, it became obvious he was not a product of the system. He could win without an elite D. He nearly dragged a pretty bad offensive group past a superior Colts team in 06. Opinions started to change and people caught on he was not just a bus driver.

Brady went from good to pretty good to elite. All within about five years or so. Dak has gone from average to below average (This year). Do I think he's a bum? No. I think he is a starting QB. But Brady's worst statistical season would be something Dak could only dream of obtaining.

A 30 year old average Qb is not suddenly going to become some HOFer. Has that ever happened for any QB? Can't think of any.

Jerry is only doing a disservice to Dak when he compares him to HOF and GOAT Qb's. And it is a reminder that this franchise falls too in love with non star type players. You can't do that if the goal.is a championship.

 

[Boysdaboys]

He said he believes Dak can improve like Brady did, NOT that he had comparable talent, but this shallow narrative “validates” the whole “Jerry is delusional” crap for the stupid people.

Look, I don’t like Jerry The GM either. But painting him as a drooling, clueless loser 24/7 is as dumb as saying MM catch coach because he’s fat, or that Garrett lost because of clapping.

I agree in that I think Jerry meant Brady at first was merely a good QB who became an elite one. So Dak can improve. Any QB can improve as there is proof it has happened. Josh Allen as an example.

I don't think the front office believes Dak will ever be as good as Brady was.

 

[cowboyed]

Yes, I believe Jerry is right! Almost 30 year old Dak can eventually evolve into 46 year old Tom Brady skill wise. Jerry also believes you can pin badges on hot dogs and sell them as police dogs.

 

[Typhus]

All we can hope for as a fan base is that we draft a QB somewhere in this upcoming draft and Dak gets benched eventually due to pressure from the fans.

Yup then he went to tb and got 100 in 3 yrs on the cap. 20-22
In that same time dak has counted for 68 mil on the cap

Let's not act like dak has crippled the cap. 22.6 mil has been the avg the past 3 yrs for dak. Contracts like Elliot, Lawrence and Gallup are what's wrong, not daks deal. Daks is market value.

Brady cap hits from 20-22
20: 25mil
21: 10.54mil
22: 11.89 mil
Total: 47.43mil

Prescott:
20: 31mil
21: 17.2mil
22: 19.7mil
Total: 67.9mil
https://overthecap.com/player/dak-prescott/4848

No interest in the endless QB "debate" on here but cap wise Brady counted about half of that number you posted from 20-22. Bucs knew one day he would retire and the dead cap would sting, but at least it paid off.
I agree that Dak's cap hit to date has not crippled the cap to date. The front office has handed out worse deals, relative to the position the player plays at, since he was drafted that has hampered the cap space more.
They'll extend him to allow the next 2-3 years to remain low as need be.

 

[MaineBoy]

Just like Jerry matured in to Al Davis.
