The prudent thing would be not to extend him, let Dak play out the final year of his contract and in the interim look for another option at QB.
Sure…Dat’s stats are good, but he generates the bulk of those stats against the below-average teams; against better competition they are average at best; he is a one read QB who throws high-percentage passes, relying on the short-to-intermediate passing game. He has also been in the league around 8 years or so, surrounded by a solid supporting cast for the majority of those years without post-season success; Dak has reached his ceiling; it’s not like he is ever going to turn into Brady or Mahomes; he is a progress stopper.
Granted the team has won 12 games for the past three-years only to lose in the playoffs; QBs are judged by their post season success and by that metric Dak falls short.
But Dallas has an owner that would rather stubbornly stick with a QB that he knows can’t deliver than blow this team up and start anew.
