Skip Bayless: Jerry Jones has convinced Andy Dalton he'll start over Dak Prescott

[Risen Star]

Skip says that Prescott is asking for more money than even Mahomes is expected to ask for.

If that's true it's the single most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in sports. Talk about delusional.

 

[BigD_95]

I believe Bayless that Dak is asking for an out of bound deal.

Jerry always signs his players and usually does overpay that is all true. Why is the Dak deal not done? I think its because Dak has gone way beyond what he should be asking. And even Jerry knows Dak is not worth that much.

I like Dak and I hope they get him resigned but I think he needs to comeback down to earth

 

[America's Cowboy]

Oh and for the record. You’re rooting for Dalton to do horrible for the sake of the one “Dak.” Can we get a let’s go Cowboys! Sheesh


Insert-> T.O. That’s my Quarterback meme lol

Who is rooting for Dalton to do terrible?

I know Dalton will do terrible.

Big difference.

Winston signed in New Orleans because he knows Brees is out after this year. So he gets a year to learn from Payton and fuzzface before hopefully re-signing there as the entrenched starter.

That's not this situation.

Somebody has to tell me why Dalton would turn down millions of dollars to back up a bum. He can do his one year in limbo anywhere. Why here for peanuts? He's literally making kicker money this year.

Jerry promised him, probably on the souls of his grandchildren, that Dak Prescott will never take another snap in their uniform. That they've moved on from what they now admit was a huge mistake.

The evidence points me to this conclusion.

So who is Dalton’s backup QB? Why cut Rush if Dak “is never taking another snap” for the Cowboys? We’ve already decided that DiNucci or Thorson is ready to be backup QB without them ever having taken a snap in the NFL or in a Cowboys training camp? Even for you @Risen Star, this is preposterous trolling. But I get it, you’re locked in your house and really bored.
P.S. Stephen committed once again today to signing Dak long term. Why do that if the decision to let him go has already been made?

LOLLLLLLL

“Dalton signed for a paltry $3m!!! That means the Cowboys DEFINITELY value him as a high-priced starter!!!”


So let me get this straight: if Dalton had signed for, let’s say, $12m instead of $3m, would that mean the Cowboys value him LESS than they do now??????????

Dak haters are on full tilt. Poor beta males. Must suck being so used to losing at life.

 

[Proof]

Right. It was told to him that the Prescott negotiations are off the rails and he should expect to start this year.

It's the only rational reason why I can justify why he'd pass on all that money. I don't care about where his home is or some nonsensical fear of a plague that will never touch him or his wife and kids. None of that is going to make a man turn down millions of dollars for the same job.

But ya know what will? A Jerry wink as he throws a dart into a picture of Prescott.

just curious, hypothetically how much money do you think was out there for him?

 

[Sevenup3000]

Sooo why is this thread going on and on...Yet the thread which ACTUALLY quotes the Dallas Front Office regarding this situation being ignored?

 

[cern]

You don't understand the business side of the NFL. Dak has an agent. He hired an agent to do his contract negotiations, endorsements etc. His agent gets a percentage of whatever he negotiates so his agent is going to try and get the most he can. Also, you, and all the haters, choose to ignore the fact that Dak played that Eagles game you speak of with a torn ligament in his throwing shoulder as well as a fractured finger on his throwing had. The team had already given up on the coaching staff weeks before. Dak was one of the few exceptions. He went out there and played hurt to try everything he could to win. He's a warrior. Most people do not know what that means.

3%. That's 900,000 per 30 million. The cut is larger for endorsement deals.

Noted.

 

[morat1959]

Yeah, guys. All this winning stops if Prescott leaves. Be careful what you wish for.

Lol!

 

[WillieBeamen]

I agree with Skip


Shannon made 0 sense

 

[lane]

He's not turning down millions of dollars because he's concerned about his family and this dreaded (ahem) "pandemic".

"plandemic"

 

[cowboyed]

That Skip Bayless sure says a lot of things. It’s almost like he gets paid to talk.

The gay whisperer has a few screws loose.

 

[JoeKing]

I don't think Dalton is that great. I think he's decent. But I also don't think Dak is the best thing since toilet paper was invented. Is Dak worth that much more? I wouldn't cry if they pulled his tag.

You were one of those toilet paper hoarders, weren't you?

Dalton started out his career much like Dak has, very comparable stats. The second half of his career has not gone so well for him.

As for Dak, he is worth whatever someone is willing to offer him. We have seen reports he has turned down offers in excess of $30M and the franchise tag that Jerry slapped on Dak is worth $31M. So the answer to your question is yes, he is worth it.

So for whatever reason, you have lost faith in Dak. You express this by saying you would not mind if his tag was rescinded. Cut bait with Dak in favor of turning the keys over to a QB that has been terrible of late. Does that sound like the prudent thing to do? I would suggest we at least find out what kind of QB Dalton is today before putting all our eggs in his basket. I wouldn't give up on Dak just yet. We've waited this long, July 15 is not that much farther away. I'm willing to give him that much time to make a decision. If he wants to hold out beyond then, then we can reconsider pulling that tag.

Listen carefully to AD's interview with Schefter.

He talks about using this season as an opportunity to set himself up for the rest of his career (he thinks he can play 5-6 more years).

He had opportunities at other teams yet he chose Dallas to accomplish this...why? Why would he choose Dallas to accomplish that when the QB1 hasn't missed a game in 4 years? Hmm...

I could be wrong, but I think the front office is now prepared to play hardball with Dak.

 

[Pantone282C]

What's happening? People will actually stop watching this garbage program?

Boredom is the operable word here.

Yep.


Im telling you, Jerry most likely told him he would have a great shot at starting some games this season as the anticipate Dak holding out.

If you holding onto Skip's word......you've lost the battle already.

Its not holding on to Skip’s word...Its logic


Explain to me why he would come here if he wants to become a starter next season? Especially when this QB has shown to be very durable...
