Twitter: Prescott to sign franchise tender

[Diehardblues]

I see you're a reporter now and as a reporter you had some interviews with Jerry and Stephen and then talked to Prescott and his agent as well as former GM's to get their take on this as part of your reporting. Or maybe what you're calling reporting is nothing more than your opinions.
.
.

You certainly have an odd way of interpreting post. Of course it’s opinions. Which can be derived from savvy instincts.

 

[gjkoeppen]

No, that was your interpretation. I didn’t claim it was intentional at all. Perhaps that just plays more into your perception.

Let me quote you to refresh your memory. "He’s just been presenting a tough guy persona to appeal to the pushback ... He’s been all in all along."

So again what crystal ball do you use to KNOW what Jones is thinking and why he does anything he does. You can guess or speculate but you don't KNOW.

I’m not really into predicting doom and gloom just about reporting on it , the suspected instincts we had going in , the effects and of course potential solutions.

Me neither. But the core human behavioral patterns are hard to overcome once they've been firmly established over a long period of time. I was simply speculating as to the team's outcome. Jerry likens this Dak episode to another "I'm smarter than everyone and I'm a legitimate Football Guy" case of ego driven arrogance. He is not to be proven wrong about his 4th round pet project QB.
Took him a decade to see it in a head coach.
This is nothing new.
But you are also right in that my ultimate outcomes shared here and so called gloom with regards to the team do directly tie in to my personal non belief in Dak as a QB.
I don't believe in either is all so I painted the negative picture that I did based off Jerry and his ultimate decision making fiascos of the past.

Go Cowboys

Don’t you assume all post here are opinions unless using quotations supported by a link?

And if you believe something to be true you present as such.

If you don’t agree that’s fine. Is your only rebuttal is that’s it’s only an opinion ? Lol

I guess next you’ll begin attempting to attack or personally insult to discredit the opinion cause you don’t agree with .

Tell me again how I misinterpreted you saying you were a reporter. Is savvy instinct your way of saying speculation?

Bingo! That Dalton signing was like someone taking your queen in chess. Dak was basically forced into signing the franchise tag or risk losing 31 mil.

Andy Dalton got signed a month ago. That has nothing to do with why Dak signed the franchise tag. Dak was never going to sit out the season.

Based on history the more likely scenario is we will extend his contract before July 15th deadline.

The small sample size on not extending contracts after Tagging supports signing before the deadline.

Ultimately this places more pressure on getting a deal done now not after the deadline.

Generally, teams don't want to pay any one player $30-plus million for a season. That's supposed to be the incentive for teams to get a long-term deal done. The player signing the franchise tag usually puts the pressure on the team because he's guaranteed now to make $30-plus million and then be a free agent unless the team wants to tag him a second year at an even higher price.

As I said in another post, I'd prefer for Dallas to play him on the tag and let McCarthy evaluate whether he thinks he's worth paying top-five QB money. However, I still expect the team to get a long-term deal done before July 15 because that's usually how it works.

The jury is still out on Dak. He could prove Jerry is right.

I don’t believe it unfolded like that at all.

But Others propaganda is much better

 

[Whirlwin]

When he exposes himself this season, please keep this same energy, and remember I told you so.

Prescott is a winner. I’m hoping this coach is awesome. Get ready for a Repeat of his rookie season.

When I rebut something I say I disagree with it or it's my belief or opinion or I say that this report or that report doesn't agree with what someone says, but I don't say I'm just reporting because saying that is saying you're a reporter. You in your mind may not have meant it as saying your a reporter but the written word doesn't allow for reading the mind of what the person said unless you're the Great Karnack.

Unless the team and Dak lay an egg this year, I think we can now assume the floor for Dak is two franchise tags, a-la Cousins. That would be two years at about 68.5...or less slightly less than what they are already offering per year.
But yes, a longer deal spreads it out some.

I think that’s what I was trying to say. LOL don’t get old my cowboy brother. Too many games too many seasons

You're right that if Prescott hadn't signed his tag offer he would be losing that 31 mil and that is then ONLY reason he signed. Dalton siging had ZERO to do with Prescott signing his tag offer.

When I say “ reporting “ I’m referring to my view of the events. Ultimately we must all remember this is an opinion driven format.

Your obviously taking opinion as it’s factual regardless how much they believe it to be true.

I don’t know why people think Dalton pressured press got into signing. I agree Prescott wasn’t worried about him in any way shape or form. We need an upgrade from Cooper Rush that’s all it was. I actually like the rookie hope he beats him out and camp. But Dalton is smart I will give him that. He’ll be good for Prescott

The jury is still out on Dak. He could prove Jerry is right.

I disagree. Some coach by the name of Landry told a young Parcells once " By the third year you usually know what ya got in a player."

Will there be late bloomer exceptions to the rule?

Of course.

Dak is the epitome of doing less with more.

I'll stick with Landry's opinion and disagree that the jury has returned and the unfortunate verdict is that Dak is more Brad Johnson or Dilfer but without their supporting defense, lol.

Sad But true. Just my opinion though.

Most people think their opinion is fact. I think that’s what he was referring to and I also.

Prescott has done nothing but improve. It’s the team that went sour on Jason Garrett he lost the locker room. Prescott had a better statistic season than Mahomes

I’ll stick with Landry’s opinion also. But it has nothing to do with Prescott it just doesn’t apply.
