Dak is panicking. He just can’t say it because it’s not the professional thing to say. He knows this roster sucks to high Heaven and that he doesn’t have anywhere near the talent to make up for the shortfall in depth and talent that, at least partially, resulted from his bloated contract. Jimmy says the league has a QB salary problem and he’s not wrong. For me it makes the NFL harder to follow as the fan I’ve always been. You can’t pay average to above average QBs elite money just because they are QBs. When you do that you have effectively doomed a roster. I’d hate to draft an above average QB who plays well in the rookie window because I know his first contract after his rookie tenure is going to handcuff my team and likely make them worse. It has to stop. The league really has to do something about it.
Of course, QBs like Dak could put a priority on winning a SB over and above resetting the FA market for QBs. That’s a long shot obviously. I’m interested, nonetheless, to see what Purdy signs for next year.
