Twitter: Tad Prescott - When your little Brother gets the Call

[Established1971]

Hey little brother break a leg
wait, let me rephrase that

 

[Brax]

Tad a classic POS.

Come on guys, how do you expect Tad to take care of his family if the brother he mooches off isn't making 40+ million a year? Have a heart!

P.S. Get a job, Tad.

Right, players like
Dak
Jaylon
Zeke
could care less about ever winning a SB.
They already won.

I agree with you.

I don’t see the same competitive fire in any of the modern guys like I saw in Aikman, Irvin, Emmitt, Haley, et al.

Aikman got an $11 million dollar signing bonus after winning a Super Bowl and Jerry fought tooth and nail against Emmitt in contract negotiations in the year after that until the team started 0-2.

Dak may be a “good guy”, but lots of people are. They bust their butt for much less money for a lot longer of their lives. Like my dad.

Dak basically won the lottery. IMO football players shouldn’t get paid top tier salaries until they’ve proven themselves worthy of it for three straight years.

Your opinion is noted but who gets to decide what "proven" means? Hint: If you don't own a team you don't get a vote. The marketplace determines what guys get paid. We don't have to like it.. but unless we quit watching and quit going to games it's not going to change.

Time for Tad to finally shut up about it. He was hating on Dallas.

 

[tyke1doe]

Tad never has to work again!

That's EXACTLY what I was about to say.

Tad with a tear in his eye and a thought bubble: "Sniff, I don't have to work another day in my life. Sniff."

Tad is excited he got paid. Can't blame him i'd be excited too.

You would have a hard time an an owner of a NFL team. Most of it is based on the come.

I thinks it's pretty simple to understand what I stated from an abstract perspective. A QB has measurables over a period of three years that can be both quantified and qualified. If he is consistently showing that he's a 6-10 QB over three years using an objective set of determining factors that are inclusive of a wholistic analysis, then he should be paid like he is one. If he isn't consistently producing like he's a top 5 QB over the same period, then he should be paid like he is one.

I think salaries now are more often than not simply more speculative based on possibility than as a reward. I don't think Dak is a top 10 QB. I think he's between 11-15 and he got paid like a near top 5 QB because of the former.

"Time to win"? Wasn't it time to win before, when we couldn't?

 

[Zekeats]

another drawback of signing Dak....Tad......that dude is so fake.

He's Daks Levar Ball.

True although Dak has already made salary + endorsements over 50 million dollars so his family was set before this deal was signed
