Same Deal as Troy Aikman Biggest Contract in NFL History

[jsb357]

Bus drivers making 30 million per year is nuts.

Takes too many sacks
Misses too many throws
Doesnt throw with anticipation
Late on seeing open receivers

Doesnt make a ton of mistakes
Great runner
Tough as crap
Good locker room guy
Above avg in wins column
Thats what u get for 30 million these days

that's 4 BIG negative marks for any QB

He's a young quarterback just starting to turn the corner.

The offensive line is back together and with strong depth. He should have more time to focus upon receivers and not incoming pressure. His reads, due to scheme adjustments, should be quicker and the open route runner much more quickly reckonized or set up.

The speed of play should start slowing down for him as well. He also has a whole off season to work with his entire receiver group, now.

Ring tapper, homie....


I guess the new scheme and changes was too much to take note upon, and that broadsided one...

Back in 1989, rookies were paid on potential and there was no rookie salary cap. Troy Aikman benefited from this era. The Dallas Cowboys signed Troy Aikman, the quarterback from U.C.L.A., to a six-year, $11.2 million contract. It was the largest contract for a National Football League rookie in NFL History.

However, one year before Aikman's contract expired in 1994, Jerry Jones negotiated giving Aikman the biggest contract in NFL history agreeing to a $50 million, eight-year deal that includes an $11 million signing bonus. He opted to let Emmitt Smith contract expire. But that is a story for Zeke Elliott. Aikman had won one Super Bowl for the Cowboys in 1992 and the Cowboys were standing 8-4 in the 1993 season when the deal got done.

But unlike Aikman Jerry is faced with a problem with Dak Prescott. Aikman had seasons of 1-15, 7-9, 11-5, and 13-3. However he only had 1 complete season in 1992 going 13-3 winning the Super Bowl and 2 playoff seasons he contributed. The other seasons were cut off by injuries (89, 90, and 91). Dak has had no losing seasons with 2 playoff appearances and a wild card win going 13-3, 9-7, and 10-6 as a full time starter missing no games.

So Jerry will have to do the same deal for Dak he did for Aikman. He can wait and see how the 2019 season progresses. However, history has shown Dak Prescott has never had a losing season as a QB in high school, college or the Pros. Also, this is his first year with a solid no.1 WR (with no injuries like with Dez 2016-2017), and talented experienced WR/TE group to start the season. So, to mitigate damages to his pocket, it is probably better for Jerry to get a deal done now before the inevitable (winning season and playoffs).

Cowboy fans, don't be shocked if it is the largest deal in NFL history...After all, its the way to pay Dallas Cowboys QBs.

Logical thinking. I like that

Along came Bradford and signed a $50 Mill contract for an unproven rookie.....absurd.

That guy is one of a kind, he makes John Dillinger look like the Pope.

to compare Dak to Aikman based season results is aboslutley stupid and absurd.... Aikman was tagged as a no miss prospect. his draft report was can't miss prospect by all scouts. he was the consensus #1 pick of the draft. he went to a team that a bunch of div III level talent + Irwin.... to compare his 1-15 to 7-9 season to what Dak has done, playing behind perhaps the greatest OL in history of NFL in 2016, having Zeke a top 5 pick with potential HOF credentials, Dez, Witten. is absolutely absurd.

and plus aikman played in a different era than Dak….Dak can't be compared to aikman in any level. you compare dak to his contemporaries today and base the contract on that.....

Dak will get paid, because of publicity behind him based on all these supposed Wins that he has had (forget the ret of the team, its all him) and perceived value of QBs today and not having another alternative. which is what we put ourselves into. he will get paid not because he is great or good. he gets paid because there is not much other option.

What an ignorant and hypocritical post.

What an ignorant and hypocritical post.

its nothing but facts in there.... but don't let truth get in the way of your imagination and fantasy

I really want Dak to get his contract so we can be done with this.

Who am I kidding, people are going to complain about it for the next decade no matter what happens. We have bozos who want to cut Dak so we can try out some random Conference USA scrub.
