QB option no 5 - Tom Brady

[Killerinstinct]

As with each of these, it is a backup plan should the non-exclusive tag result in Dak finding an offer from another team to his liking.

Why would Brady do it?

Dallas is built to win now and Brady gets the chance to prove he can do it without Belichick.
Offensive line to prolong his career.
Running game for balance and make play action effective.
Receiving weapons.
Tons of prime time exposure and being the QB for the Cowboys is the highest profile positions in all of sports.

Why would Dallas do it?

Proven winner with some gas in the tank.
2 first rd picks gained while none used to find their starting QB
Jerry is running out of time.


Brady's play slipped last year but that had a lot to do with a lack of weapons. In the right system, he can be effective. He has been proving people wrong his entire career.

Tag Dak with the non-exclusive tag. Tell him to go meet with other teams and find his value. Get the rest of the F.A.'s signed. If a team thinks he is worth his asking price, fine, take the picks and move on.

I would offer Brady a 4 year deal worth 120 mil with 60 mil guaranteed. The extra years alloy you to spread out the bonus but still get out at any point after 2 years without destroying the cap.

There are options and they shouldn't let Dak's agent hold them hostage.

Just stop this gosh darn madness

If we don't sign Dak then of course you give Brady a shot it's a not brainer, but our front office should be looking to sign one of the youngest most talented QB's in the league in Dak Prescott first and foremost.

I have a question for you, you make excuses for Brady slipping because of a possible lack of weapons right? You do agree though Brady has one of the best head coaches in league history right? You do realize Dak had one of the worst coaches in league history right in Jason Garrett? So one could safely say Dak didn't have any advantage in the coaching department just like Brady had no weapons. Lets look at this realistically man, Dak is a stud right now, and Brady is slow and nearly 50 years old...

LLLOOOLLL Come on buddy we know this isn’t going to happen

brady is not better than dak at this point in his career and is not a top tier qb anymore..why on earth anyone would want a 42 qb with a noodle arm over prescott at this point is beyond me....yes Brady is the GOAT but were not talking about a 35 year old brady, were talking about a much older version.

Figures you'd prefer a notorious cheater to QB the team. Maybe him and McCarthy can relay the other team's signals by banging a trashcan in the players tunnel.

Basically it would be like Jordan joining the Wizards. He'll still put a solid performance in the regular season, but isn't taking the team on a deep playoff run.

Yes, we need another Die Hard movie! I'll submit your script. Brady can play the Bruce Willis role.

Why do some think Brady needs to prove he can do it without Belichick? His legacy isn't somehow harmed by having played for Belichick, so he probably actually has more to lose than to gain by playing for another team. I say this because if he were successful with another team that would just confirm what everyone already believed, but if he failed he would look like he couldn't perform as well away from his situation in NE. Of course, his age would be considered a factor as well.

In any case, I think this is just a pipe dream some have here. The Cowboys aren't looking for a 43 year old one season patch.

Why do we need a 35 year old Brady???? Brady last won a SB 13 months ago. Brady has been to 9 SB's & won 6 of them!!! Brady will be incredibly motivated. Also Brady plays in the outdoor elements of Foxboro...... we all saw how Dak did last year playing at Foxboro.... which Brady bested him in. And for the stat lovers Brady threw 3 times as many TD's last year to picks. 24/8. That is better than Prescott at 30/13. For the non stat lovers in Brady's so called down year he went 12-4.... Dak went 8-8. Dak went 8-8 with a much much much better supporting cast. Easier schedule. And no team injuries.

It will be funny when Dallas pays Dak $40,000,000. Amari Cooper will be gone, Randall Cobb will be gone. Maliek Collins will be gone, Byron Jones gone. Quinn gone. Bennett gone. LVE has neck problems. The NFC East will be better this year. The schedule will be tougher. Dallas will have at least some injuries this coming year..... probably a couple of O lineman. Dallas may finish in last place. The Defense will be total garbage. Lawrence has chronic shoulder problems. Smith still has a limp when he runs. Zeke has a lot of mileage on him at such a young age. Dark days ahead.

Everyone thinks Mike is going to save us with his magical coaching. Who is to say that Mike is better than Garrett? None of us on this board are qualified to make that judgement. A lot of you say that Garrett sucked as a coach.... but none of you can explain why. His in game coaching was actually pretty good overall. I love how a lot of you blame the coach when a player does not execute a play.... Here is a novel idea, maybe the blame should go to the player.

I would rather have Tom Brady for 2 years at $60,000,000 than Dak for 5 years at $200,000,000. And have a couple of draft picks after I tagged and traded the greedy average QB who spouts it is all about the team. Talk is cheap guys. Actions speak louder than words.

Thanks for your time in reading this.

Dak plays for Dallas for a year at 27 mil- Win
Dak signs offer on the table -Win
Dak finds a partner willing to give him what he wants and surrender 2 1st rd picks - Win

Dak gets what he wants, 4 year deal with most guaranteed at 35, 36, 37 (who knows?) mil per - LOSE


It is that simple

I agree, Brady doesn’t have anything to prove and it’s not really something that comes up regarding his legacy. I do think for me personally that it’s a fundamental difference between him and Peyton Manning though. Brady is a system quarterback, while Peyton Manning was the system... as he proved by winning MVPs and Super Bowls in two different spots. By halfway through his first season in Denver, defense coordinators were saying that the Broncos offense was indistinguishable from the Manning Colts offense.

For the next 2 years I will still take Brady.

Put Brady in Dallas behind our Oline/Zeke and in a dome and he will do just as good as Dak at a minimum.. Probably better..

It just depends how much he wants.

 

[Ranched]

Unlike Dak, Brady's balls are always deflated. Can't win with those.

 

[garyo1954]

Well, you do have to go back to......never to find Tom Brady's last losing season.

Since 2009 he's averaged 12 wins a season. He averages 11 wins in 19 seasons even when you count the lost 2008 season. 17 seasons in the playoffs.

But then when Dak catches on fire....look out! We might win 10 games and be a WC!

Bledsoe 2.0, behind this line. Do you really believe the league is going to protect Brady, playing for the Cowboys? He will rue the day.

He runs an offense that gets rid of the ball quick..

He’s made some bad Olines look good because he processes information a lot quicker then a guy like Dak.

This isn’t Bledsoe’s line either.
