Two first round picks is not nearly enough to jump in the Vegas casino called Draft Your Next QB.
We've seen 4.5 years of Dak. Nothing but stats. When do you call it quits on a guy? 9 years? 10? We did that with Garrett and how did that work out.
Too many fans buy into the idea that you can just go pick “the QB tree” and get a good one. Finding a good QB is by far the hardest position to fill adequately, which is why so many teams are willing to take big chances in the draft. And why the market for QB pay is so high.60% of 1st round QBs flop or have poor careers.

The OP is talking about the 1st round.Every 1 in 5 QBs drafted go on to have stellar careers? I bet most of those are drafted in the first round.
For years it was about 50% .
It’s always been a high percentage for a few contributing factors. One is teams take risk or often draft them higher than they should simply out of need.
And most of the higher drafted QB’s go to bad teams and the QB’s struggle without a strong supporting cast losing confidence early and of course face more injuries.
The stat to me which is more critical is about 80% of starting QB’s in the NFL are 1st and 2nd round picks which means that’s still the best place to find your next QB despite the amount of bust or disappointments.
I haven’t researched it in a few years but I believe that only about 50% of draft picks in the 1st and or 2nd round become starters in the league. I think it’s higher than it used to be because teams need their high picks to start sooner than they used to.

What do the Vegas betting lines say about QBs who leave through FA? There is a point where it just doesn't make financial sense to do something. That's where, I think, this negotiation with Dak is. He's leaving IMO and he always was because that's how his agent has elected to negotiate this. He could have signed for 37 AAV, 110 fully guaranteed over 5 years. That would have been, at the time, the most lucrative contract in the entire League, in terms of actual money fully guaranteed and top 5 in the other categories, according to reports.
At some point, I think you have to just accept that if a player isn't willing to play for what you can afford, then you have to let them make their own decisions. I kinda feel like that's where we might be with Dak. It's time to final up on stuff and make decisions one way or the other.
We've seen 4.5 years of Dak. Nothing but stats-most of which were from playing when behind or vs flex defenses in garbage time. When do you call it quits on a guy? 9 years? 10? We did that with Garrett and how did that work out. He can't beat good teams.
We're doomed to 8-8 if he signs. Again.
Zeke was Jerry's 1st mistake and he needs to learn from it.

honestly you can probably say that about every position.
it’s a fair opinion. But you can’t fault a player or his agent for wanting to get the best deal possible. Free market principles should be used no matter the type of employment.
