Especially when you consider the surgeon he's going to get.Give it a couple of months and then we will see. With the state of orthopedic medicine as it is now, what was career ending 30 years ago is a bump in the road now.
The question about the recovery is will that affect tagging him, if that's the plan. 37.7M for one year for a QB that they have any concerns about his mobility is as risky as it gets, even for Booger. Prescott is not a pocket guy like Brady, he has to be able to move laterally to buy time.I’m honestly not that worried about it. We will know a lot more once the deadline for the tag comes and all that.
I have my doubts that Dak has a 20% chance of never playing again. That sounds really strong.
I don’t doubt there are concerns about the injury. There always is with major injuries. People still have concerns when guys tear their ACL’s even though that injury is common practice in the modern NFL
We will find out.
Would you pay Alex Smith 175M?Alex Smith who nearly had his leg amputated and needed 21 surgeries came back. Enough said.
Anyone hear Cross Talk between Shan & RJ and the K&C Masterpiece this morning on the Fan? Mike Bascik flew off the rails on the Dak contract discussion and made some seriously bold claims.
He said he wasn't allowed to divulge the fine details, but mentioned that Dak is dealing with more than simply a broken ankle and these next 5 to 6 months are absolutely critical for rehab and basically determining if Dak can play football ever again. Mike said that there is a real "20 percent chance" that Dak never plays football again. Mentioned that the Cowboys are aware of the issue that he knows about, and said that it looks like almost an impossibility that the Cowboys fork over 170+ million dollars to a QB that's dealing with what Dak is dealing with. Also mentioned that releasing him after June with a franchise tag is also a realistic possibility.
I'm not strongly for or against Dak being signed here long term, but this certainly ignites some serious discussion. And for the clowns on this forum that will immediately dismiss this as fake news, Bascik is extremely plugged into the network in the Metroplex and also has numerous connections in the local medical network, since he himself is married to a physician. He was dropping hints of Dak having a second surgery over a month before national media got a hold of that story.
This is a crazy development.

I am one of Dak's biggest supporters on here. If this is true. And it very well may be. We need to look at moving up in the draft or trading for Wilson.Oh I agree, shooting the messenger is dumb. But seeing as to how you have posted this blasphemy according to the church of Dak....
His was more on the infection side than structural and about as scary a looking leg as anyone would ever want to see looking down. I know he got used to it but watching that ESPN 60 on his ordeal gave me a rigor every time that showed his leg. I could only imagine what that was like for him as he watched it get worse every day with talk of amputation.Alex Smith who nearly had his leg amputated and needed 21 surgeries came back. Enough said.
I fully expect the members of the Church of Dak to torch you.
Sounds like total bull and Mike Bascik - whoever that is - is just trying to get clicks.
I don't know why people hang on this stuff as if there's any truth to it. This is entirely the opposite of every other repor.t
I do not see him as a pocket passer in the style of Brady. He moves and throws well on the run to either side. He might prefer to be a pocket passer but with that OL, mobility is necessary.1. Dak is a pocket QB who also has the ability to run but make no mistake. He is a pocket passing QB.
2. We will see. Again I don’t buy the 20% number. Concern due to a major injury? Sure.
20% chance of never playing again? ****
No one is paying a Gimp QB 37 million....jeez man this isn't a Xmas tale it's real-life brutal reality!This is classic trash reporting... If I'm Dak I would play out this year and collect my 37 milli and leave afterwards.
