Prescott drops to 7th highest paid QB

[Proof]

Dak is clearly one of top performers and QB's in the NFL. However, paying a QB big money doesnt guarantee the success of the team or mean that the players around the QB are good enough to win anything.

i’m not ranking dak or his performance. just chiming in on the logic expectations don’t drop unfortunately

…..they have to do better than #1

Dak being the 23rd least sacked quarterback is unacceptable

Do you think the line was #1 in the NFL last year there buddy? Even Jerry acknowledges its our biggest need.

Sacks weren't as big an issue as penalties, run blocking, ect.....ect....

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

the logic is that if you’re paid at the top you should be one of the top performers. the hope is that you’ll be a top performer and advance in the playoffs no matter what you’re paid. so no, there’s no alignment for sub par pay and sub par play anywhere but at the negotiations table

Have we gotten subpar play from Dak?

Y’all pick and choose when to use pff….did you see them perform like a #1 unit?

My expectations for Dak didnt change one bit when Dak got 40 million.

Yet another reason why this contract is not NEARLY as bad as many of us make it out to be. Quite simply, decent quarterback play costs a ridiculous amount of money in the modern NFL. I'm fine with the contract. You can't compete without at least a competent QB. The Zeke deal is the true albatross.

Well wait until Zeke leaves and we spend the next 10 years looking for a RB because we got rid of Zeke. Never again to see a complete rb in dallas.

We have never even sniffed a Super Bowl with out a Top Rusher.

Screw Stephen Jones and ALL the fans that think like him.

That was just a jump off point .

You should actually love Moore. He continues to run and feature Zeke when he should be sitting on the bench or playing FB.

Zeke is definitely featured in the run game buddy. Pollard, especially later in the season was a guy that was simply spelling Zeke. In the playoff game it was even worse.

We will have to agree to disagree on that one since we clearly have different definitions of what "featured." Means..

Over the last 9 games of the season Pollard had 58 carries in the 7 games he played.. He missed two because he also got hurt.. Over that same span Zeke had 121 carries.. So one guy averaged 8 carries a game and the other averaged 13? In my book that doesn't "feature" either of them.

If Moore ever got away from the run game its because Zeke was either ineffective or the Cowboys were falling behind.

Did you really think the offense was going to be good after Dak went down? LOL

No I didn't.. but several experts claimed that the offense was going to function better with Dalton at QB.. and not just the idiots who post here..

As for running backs being ineffective.. You may have noticed that Pollard had plenty of "ineffective" games too. And if he's not going to give you anything extra running the ball you really can't leave him out there to be missing blocks and getting the QB beat up.

So when the offense is going great, its Zeke and when Zeke is running poorly or the offense is ineffective its Moore?

Bottom line is the Oline was the big issue. And that one huge issue can cripple an offense. We saw it effect both the run game and the passing game.

Interesting strawman but nobody has said that. It all works together.. always has and always will. When the line isn't blocking worth a damn the backs aren't going to run worth a damn. You may get a missed tackle of a blown assignment on defense that leads to an occasional good play.. but overall, bad line play equals bad offense.. on that we are in complete agreement.

So how come the great Zeke couldnt carry the offense when Dak went down in 2020?

Zeke is a slow and limited RB at this point. Unable to consistently get to the edges, break tackles or make guys miss.

Mostly because Moore wouldn't let him.. He had a whole ONE game with 20 or more carries after Dak went down. Running backs need to carry the ball to carry the offense. Moore seems content to use him as a 6th offensive lineman more often than not. None of which is Zeke's fault.

These clowns would rather have Kitna at QB for 10 million.

but look at how many players we could sign for 30M....we could be 9 deep at WR

CLEARLY doesn't consider the postseason 49ers game.

 

[Proof]

yeah unobjectionably.

 

[88sAndHeartbreak]

Please do tell.......man I'm excited to find out all his glorious accomplishments.
Please post all his playoff wins and Superbowl wins????
Can't wait......

Just one thing though....

Hmm so stats are for losers only until they fit your narrative... Exhibit A:

# 1 is not good enough for Dak or Zeke.....Jeez man, what are you smoking????

Hmm...


Oh and everybody knows that PFF grading is HIGHLY suspect.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

CLEARLY doesn't consider the postseason 49ers game.

They got clear boosts from grades of Martin and Tyron. Two good linemen doesn’t make you a great unit.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

yeah unobjectionably.

And you’re basing his actual production or lofty expectations?

Brother, if you think that good running backs can't be had easily in rounds 2, 3, 4, and 5 every single year I think you are beyond saving.

 

[nobody]

He's still overpaid for what he provide. Let's hope that changes and his game picks back up to preinjury performance last season. I have my doubts given the loss of talent, but hopefully the draft will help.

 

[KJJ]

At least half the QBs in the league will be making 40+ million dollars per season in the next 2 to 3 years whether they have a playoff win or not. If a QB is productive they’re going get paid. You have to pay what the market says you have to pay or you won’t have a QB.

 

[Pantone282C]

Derek Carr just signed an extension worth 121.5 million for 3 years which will drop Dak down another spot to #7.
