It was reported Saturday that the Detroit Lions and franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford are expected to part ways this offseason. Detroit will reportedly begin entertaining trade offers for the quarterback.

During ESPN’s Postseason NFL Countdown on Sunday, former coach and current analyst Rex Ryan was asked where he thought Stafford would end up in 2021. And Ryan’s prediction, if it were to come true, would send shockwaves throughout the league.

Ryan suggested that Stafford returning to his home state would make a lot of sense.

“Well I actually don’t believe this, but let’s hypothetically say the Cowboys blow it with Dak Prescott,” Ryan said. “This would be an amazing spot for him. You go back to your high school days, he returns home, he won a state championship at Highland Park right there in Texas. I think it would be a phenomenal spot. He’d be reunited with Kellen Moore, a former teammate. And look, if he goes there they would be the favorites to win the NFC East. I promise you they would be.”

Plus he’s better than Dak..

Depends on the money though. Some team might get crazy for him.

I think that the key qualifier shouldn't be overlooked:

"Say the Cowboys blow it with Dak Prescott"

He even couched his statement by saying "I actually don't believe this". So it's clearly just spitballing. And from that what-if perspective? Sure, I could see that, if somehow the Dak deal didn't get worked out. But it will.

Just because you say something doesn't make it true.

The Kellen Moore factor is interesting. MM isnt sold on Dak - hence why they went cool on the contract extension. A lot could depend on KMs view on which is the better QB, having worked with both.

1000%.......I've said IF they don't have a long-term deal by the draft, we should move on. Take what you can get and draft/sign/trade his replacement.

It would never happen, but if the Cowboys decided they cannot resign Dak, I would need more than Stafford to swap the QB's. Perhaps Okudah and another pick.

Oh, I agree.....Stafford AND their first would get my attention (lol)

 

[John813]

I mean, IF the team can't come to terms/Prescott HYPOTHETICALLY didn't want to stay, acquiring Stafford would be a solid bridge QB for this team.

But those are unlikely. This FO likes Prescott

 

[Cowboyny]

I know many think Dak is overrated, but he is a top 10 QB that is hitting his prime seasons, where Stafford's career is winding down. I would need picks plus Stafford to make the deal.

 

[phildadon86]

Plus he’s better than Dak..

Depends on the money though. Some team might get crazy for him.

Well one. Hes not.

And 2 you hate that Prescott doesnt beat good team according to you. But you want to bring in Stafford who has based his entire career around NOT BEATING GOOD TEAMS!.

Give your head a shake.

 

[LittleD]

Neither QB is top ten at this point. Neither has made it to a championship game or the SB. Neither are worth the money they want and that is the rub. Fact, neither team is going to
get the picks they want for either guy. Rogers is worth picks if he leaves Green Bay. Watson is worth picks if he leaves Houston. Neither is likely to happen.

 

[blumayne38]

NE is gonna throw some money at Stafford I believe Indy may also ...

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Plus he’s better than Dak..

Depends on the money though. Some team might get crazy for him.

No he isn't. 4th quarter Dak > 4th quarter Stafford.

 

[Ranched]

NO! He's a carbon copy of Dalton.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Another aging QB with a history of back problems?

Might as well see if Romo is available, while we're at it.

 

[KB1122]

The best similar case would be Plunkett. A high-talent top pick doesn't live up to expectation on a crappy team, bounces around a bit, and ends up with the right team for his skill set. But Plunkett wasn't quite that old. Maybe Stafford doesn't bounce around.

the worst case is sort of late-career Drew Bledsoe. Or worse. I suppose there are worse cases.

I don't think it will happen with the Cowboys. There will be some team with a good defense that will convince themselves that he's their best shot not to waste it.

 

[dckid]

Plus he’s better than Dak..

He is better than Dak, and I would find a suitor for Dak.
The thing most people seem to be missing is we got 5 cost effective years with Dak where his performance exceeded his cost.
The Cowboys even with that advantage could not surround him with the talent that was required.
Now you want to make him the highest paid at his position and think this FO and coaching staff can maximize the talent around him???? Try to use first principles thinking on how all this works.
Dak is a good player, he is never going to be elite. Don't overpay for good QB's. The market will correct and the more intelligent teams will come out on top as they always do.
Don't believe the hype of all the talking heads who say Dak deserves to be paid. Dak has made a tremendous amount of money just from endorsments, I hope he earns even more. This is not anti Dak, he will never live up to the giant contract. Get out while you can. Sell early instead of being a bag holder.

We can only hope......

Stats-wise over the past few years, they're pretty much the same player. Toss out the high and the low for each. And it's a bunch of high 90s years. Dak gets more on the ground. Stafford probably has a worse team around him.
