Video: Skip: Dak is the most Overrated FA!

[KB1122]

There isn't a sliding scale at quarterback. There are elite quarterbacks and everybody else.

The only reason to sign one of everybody else is:

1. you have a great defense, which the Cowboys dont; or
2. you don't care about winning championships, you're happy being middling and filling the stadium.

It is what it is. 6-9 QB's ahead of him and its his turn for market price.

But is that market price?
Seems' it is top 2

btw, we don't really even know if those numbers Skip threw out are real
Guess we'll see

Great post.

100% agree.

seems as if it is. If he was asking for 29Mil a year the Ink would already be dry. Bottom line is we all have questions as to how much help Dak needs. If you spend almost 40 he better not need much!

Prescott will get 38 this season if he gets tagged. Next year it's close to 50. These front office idiots need to get a grasp on the market.

Just because someone tells you that they are worth 50 doesn't mean you have to pay it.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The tag amount isn't determined by what someone things, it's predetermined by the average of other contracts. This season the tag is paying out 38 million. If they tag Prescott next year, it will be close to 50. By tagging him this season the front office is setting the market for next season. The mistake the front office made is not signing him years ago and they would have saved money.

The funny part is how much support Shannon has for Daks contract situation and all he has done the last years is hand out "F" grade to Dak all season long.

Ya this is the same guy who got fired from the Forth Worth Star Telegram because he lost is press credentials with the Cowboys because of all the negative articles he wrote about the Cowboys.

Clearly Skip is entitled to his opinion but I base no views off of a man I have no respect for him, well before Dak ever played in Dallas. What skip says or thinks I take with a grain of salt.

Even a grain of salt is to much for skippy's opinion.

I'm talking about perceived value. Dak can sit there all day and claim that he is worth 38, 40, 50 and claim that because Deshaun Watson got that from the Texans that he is worth as much. Doesn't mean that you have to pay that. Hand Dak a 38 million a year contract and you are effectively resigning yourself to be a bottom of the barrel team because you will never be able to surround him with what he needs to succeed. He is never going to live up to that contract. If people are saying that Carson Wentz and Jared Goff are not worth the contract they were given then how the hell do you expect handing more money to Dak as being worth it? When the Vikings handed Kurt Cousins his ridiculous contract demand you think anyone thinks that was worth it? Why then would you do the same with Dak?

You're missing the point. If the front office tags him, then they think he's worth the amount. You're changing the argument and piling on a bunch of other QBs not in this situation. There's an argument as to who's better between Prescott and Watson, but the others? Nope.

I've been inundated with football experts saying how the Cowboys are dogging Dak and that Dak is worth the $40 million and that JJ is a nut job for stringing Dak out! My response is WHAT HAS DAK DONE FOR ALL THIS HYPE?????? He hasn't won anything on his own. His rookie season was his coming out party and that was because of the O-line he played behind. Both Dak AND Zek were the talk of the town when the O-Line was kicking ***. When the O-Line injuries started to pile up so did the loses. But never fear JJ opened his wallet and paid Zek because he felt the Cowboys couldn't win without him and Dak gelling on Sundays. What a huge mistake this has turned out to be, Zek isn't the same guy without those studs opening holes for him and Dak hasn't been the same guy either. Sure Dak may be that clean cut leader every team needs, but he's not leading them victories the way a $40 million dollar a year player is suppose to do. Hell, go back last 2 - 3 seasons and you'll see he struggles big time when he's facing teams with winning records. I believe JJ isn't going to make the same mistake he made with Zek.

Skip and Shannon playing for the attention. The click baits and so on.
They flipped the script where Skip is the bad guy vs cowboys and now shannon is the good guy.

The ploy is so obvious, just a shame people still by into this type of lazy programming.

Yeah Shannon is all in on Dak getting paid and we know what that's all about.

What is it about?

 

[aikemirv]

Would never even click his crap. The idea that this fool even makes a living doing what he does really irritates me. Some people actually listen to his crap. I don't get it!

 

[Hadenough]

You know what that's about!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I haven't the slightest idea lol....is it because he's a ex-athlete and he likes to see athletes gets paid?
