Pony up for a quarterback who consistently fails to perform in the playoffs; yeah right.
Why not let Dak play out this year under his current contract? He was given the contract that he wanted back 2021. Let's find out if he is really sincere about being a Cowboy. I'm curious, if nothing else.
I’m not sure what you mean by sincere ?
Without a Franchise QB those other assets won’t be enough. In fact it could possibly waste the team which is built to contend now.
If you resign Dak it is going to be for either 4 or 5 years which means he is starting for at the very least 3 of those years. That means we are talking about a first round player who, by the plan made, will not see the field until year 4. That seems a little crazy.
Im not sure your cigarettes analogy applies here?
Not necessarily. For example after resigning Prescott if he continues to under perform in playoffs and our heir apparent is developing well we could be in position to trade Prescott.
LOL, I didn't explain. I'm a toll collector. There was a time I handed out tickets to those taking the roadway. Back around 2000. We no longer hand them out, machines do. Some people would ask me, do the rest areas have cigarette machines? I'd say no, because they didn't. But I would offer them a pack of mine. Back then a pack was like 2-3 bucks. I'd get 6. It would be akin to me asking for around 20 bucks now. You can't haggle with me, I don't care if you buy them or not. Dak is in a similar situation. He doesn't have to care either.
Who is going to give us draft picks for a 32 year old QB making 60-65M a year? This isn't a Matt Stafford situation.
The problem is I'm too old waiting for the same thing to happen every year. Dak's panic attacks in big games are not going away. I guess it depends if you're satisfied with always being relevant with no chance to win or have a rebuild with little chance to win. Our problem is we are screwed as long as Jerry and Stephen are running the show.
Only if he gets rid of the no trade clause.
There is no guarantees when drafting a QB, but if you don't look you definitely wont find one. With Dak after 8 years you know what you have so it's time to move on. If the cowboys pay him 60+ it isn't going to make them better. Dak can look good against bad teams and in garbage time. He doesn't look good in the playoffs. We know the ending of this movie so lets watch a new movie with different characters.
There is no incentive for Dak to sign here if he isn't signed at the start of the season. He'll chase the money.
This team isn't going to contend for a Superbowl. They can make the playoffs but they are a one and done. They aren't getting to a NFCCG let alone a Superbowl.
If he continues to underperform, who is going to take on that contract?
This always fascinates me. At what point do you choose comfort and convenience over more money? Is it worth it if you're already comfortable? Do you go out of your way to chase higher pay if it really doesn't make a difference? Does the inconvenience supersede the extra pay? For some people it never does. This applies to regular people as well. But it's off topic, so I won't get into it. But some of these players nitpicking over a few million when they are already mega millionaires fascinates me.
Basically playing at same level as now which has Cowboy fans frustrated but would still be sought after in FA.
We don’t know that with absolute certainty. Only opinions by recent history which hasn’t been one and done every season.
I’m all for moving on once we have that new hope on the roster.
Right which is up to our Mgmt to negotiate.
