The Dak Prescott of the AFC may be returning to the NFC ..

I called this last night in the game thread. It was the only obvious choice out there. Danny Dimes won’t cut it for them.

And to the same team he used to play for. Maybe they'll inquire about Darnold, too.

Indeed .. always better to go with the disappointer you know.

I'm kidding .. with the defense the Vikings have, Cousins will likely help them a lot over what they've had.

Makes sense for LV if they think Mendoza is ready. Idiotic if they value a pick and get their rookie messed up

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Amazing the Eagles didn't flip them Joe Milton for another 2nd.

I joke, I joke.

There is some smoke that Justin Herbert is a surprise candidate

Yea, I think he can get offense to average 24 points per game instead of the 20 now. That should be enough with that defense. Cousins will get the ball to JJ.

I mean...LV is 8th in scoring offense with 26 ppg so really not a stretch he can get them to at least that with Jefferson, Addison and Hockenson

He needs to get out of LA before his career gets ruined. He has no chance there.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This is stupid. What do they think their ceiling is with a guy they moved on from already?

They arent going to win anything with him either. A reset is probably best for both parties. Although they are likely to blow the picks

Take Dak instead

I would ask for 2 first for dak, if they had lost I think the trade gets done.

They got nothing at the position though. Cousins is an upgrade over Murray. It all comes down to cost. At 6-2 they probably wont go far in the playoffs with whag they have at QB. Cousins is in pace to throw for 38 TD's this year. He can at least give them a viable offense

we could win out and I still want him traded

What is stupid is sticking with Wentz or Murray. They are a functional QB away from potentially winning a ring.

I think if the season the way it has, Dak needs to be moved to have fresh start and a chance. The ownership kills their chances

I dont see him as a upgrade. I see the same caliber of player. But I guess its the cost for me as well. A 6th is nothing. Maybe a 5th.
