Dak is not a top ten QB. He is very average and we cant afford to pay him way above average because we need a rebuild at OL and Defense. Its time to cut bait with Prescott.
Ridiculous statement. Look what happened to this team once he got hurt. He was the only thing good about this franchise. You still don’t get it. And you never will obviously

Why can't rocket arm andy put up tons of yards in garbage time?
How is taking the lead or making the game a one score game garbage time?
Rocket arm. Primetime choke artist.

We have too many holes..let's get rid of our best player who plays the most important position in all of sports


Brilliant

If this was prime Aikman or Romo, I guarantee Dak haters wouldn't be saying, get rid of Aikman/Romo, cause we need that money elsewhere.

Now they're talking about risking it all on a chance to pick up a QB in the draft, even though some of the same fans just a couple of weeks ago were swearing that Dalton was going to be the savior to the Cowboys season.

Honestly I was part of the let dak go and rebuild crowd.However seeing how bad this team is without him? Can you imagine if this team put some talent around the guy? With competent coaches? I think he’s more than capable of winning a sb. He doesn’t play scared and is a leader.

I think the offense would be set next year... depends on what happens with the oline.

spend every single draft pick on defense. Keep LVE and Diggs... awuzie. Dlaw. Aldon Smith. Every other position is up for grabs.

We simply have too many holes to pay Dak 35+ mill a year. We need to rebuild our OL and Defense. We might as well rebuild at the QB position as well.
What holes on the OL???????

2021 expected starting OL ........Smith, Williams, Badaxx, Martin, Collins

Now again, what holes are you talking about?????

This is a classic catch-22.

If we pay Dak we will have a bad defense and lots of holes on the OL

If we don’t pay Dak we will have a much worse player at the most important position.

No easy answers.

He is a bus driver who puts up a lot of yrds and points in garbage time. Hes really nothing special. You guys act like he is Mahomes or something.

A bus driver that completed 68% of his passes, almost 400 yards a game. So now Mahomes walks on water. and will win a SB every year until he retires.

LOL. 68% conpletions, almost 400 yards a game, had the #1 offense behind a beat up OL = very average.

That is the reason TO pay Dak.

He is one of the best qbs in the NFL. Period.

The player that looked terrible without a supporting cast until they traded for Cooper?


If you think Dak is the same player as back then, and hasn’t improved. Then you obviously have no clue what you’re looking at. Dak has improved significantly since then.

If this team gets the #1 pick you take Trevor Lawrence and let Dak walk, otherwise just get the best defender available. The offense is actually still ok with Tyron + La'el + Martin back. The defense is historically bad, but you don't pass on Lawrence if this team somehow tanks its way to #1.

This myth that we can’t pay Dak and still field a Super Bowl contender has become tiresome. And is based more on ignorant fan B.S than it is fact.
Dak is every bit capable of leading a good team to a Super Bowl win. And it can be done with the high contract that a top 5-10 QB is going to demand. And yes. He’s not Mahomes but he is a high level QB.
That contract can be structured to leave enough room to surround him with the talent they can get from high draft picks next year. That is. If they use those picks and maybe a couple of mid level free agents correctly. They have what is needed on offense to compete with anyone when they are healthy. The o line will be back next year. It won’t be the line we had a couple of years ago. But it can be one of the better lines in the NFL. With OT the only position not on defense that has to be addressed in the draft or off season free agency.

If the concern is the front office won’t be able to draft well enough to do that. Then what does it matter if they decide to move away from Dak? The same front office will be making the decisions to field a team around a new QB. If they can’t figure out how to build a consistent winner around Dak and the contract he’s going to get. Be it here or somewhere else. They don’t deserve to be running an NFL team. I promise you. There are plenty of front offices out there that would figure it out.

The problem isn’t Dak. The problems are much, much deeper. We saw them when we had Romo who was talented enough at the position to go much further than they ever did. And those problems are the ones we have to hope get corrected before any of us are going to see the success we’ve been waiting 25 plus years on.
I wouldn’t recommend holding your breath.......

IMO, Dallas needs a gunslinger under center to win a SB.

The best way I can put it is. I can envision Dak winning a SB in NE. I cannot ever envision Dak winning a SB in Dallas (under current ownership).

Some of that is structure & culture. Dallas post Jimmy has NEVER been tight enough in other areas to manage high level playoff games where ONE play, or ONE errant throw can decide the outcome. Dallas doesn't play good situational football and they haven't in years.

Given Dallas' culture IMO their path to winning will be through a top 5 QB..

if we're going to pay Dak I'd rather just offer Dak and the house for Mahommes

A top 5 OT pick should be a starter day 1

Our 2nd pick may be able to grab the top 1-3 guard

make one effective FA signing on Oline for once and you can turn this offense around in no time

the defense is another story

You need two OT Tyron Smith should retire and even if he doesnt he cant seem to stay healthy.
