Trade Dak Prescott Debate

[Blake]

Regardless... We have to found out if Dak can play within the next 4 years. There is no need to rush it but if Romo does play 4 more years and Dak is a Free Agent and hasn't gotten on the field much then giving him a longterm deal could be a huge gamble.

Hopefully he gets to sit a couple of years though at least.

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but Romo will miss enough games in the next 4 years, that we'll know what we have in Dak, either good or bad.

Dallas would look pretty stupid trading Dak. people say this is just pre season and that is true but then what does it say about Goff, Wentz and Lynch when they can't produce even vs Vanilla defense. Dak has the tools to do the job and is out there doing it.

given what they gave up, St. Louis and Philly aren't going to deal them after a couple pre season games anyway, so this question is a rather silly one to ponder.

I would not think so either, They have made major investment especially the Rams so they really have to see this through. As for Dallas, it seems Dak is catching on quickly and is showing a lot of skill and talent. He is not just dinking and dunking passes he is making all the throws that a NFL QB must be able to make. He is processing what he is seeing and making the right throws. He is showing an ability to run the ball but not using it as a 1st option but as a last resort, right now I see him being able to hang in the pocket all the WR to come up and deliver the ball in the face of a defender barreling down on him. I'm not ready to say Dak should be starting over Romo only that our of all the QB taken he has looked the best.

It's not hard to discuss a hypothetical, guys.

To answer the question -- for Goff and Wentz, yes. For Lynch, probably not. That's not downplaying Dak or building up Goff or Wentz, but there's a reason they went 1-2 and Dak went in the 4th. After two preseason games, you can't judge anything one way or the other, so you still have to go with the tools and projections. Goff and Wentz still are on top of that one. Give Goff a little credit - he's playing on a much worse offense behind a worse OL with worse weapons. Dak is in the perfect situation right now. I never really liked Lynch much in the first place.

I still think Goff and Wentz were over-drafted based on measurables--especially Wentz.

I've seen one too many "Dak is better than Romo" threads lately, and I don't want to continue that stupid argument. As of today and probably for the next 3 years, Romo is the best player on the team, hopefully Dak is so great that he will be better and then we'd have a great problem in our hands, but in the mean time let's be realistic and be happy with Romo as our field general.

So here's a new debate, I thought of this today:



The Rams, Eagles and Broncos call you today, and they offer you Goff, Wentz and Lynch respectively straight up for Dak. Would you do it? Why, or why not?

Romo playing for 3 more years? Not happening. Dak will be taking over much sooner than you think. Romo is made of glass these days with his back and all. Even thinking about trading Dak is not very smart..

It is a serious question to me.......Goff for Dak straight up right now......60 seconds to decide........

i would say no, but I might live to regret it.......Goff could still be worth 2 #1s next year...fans always over-rate the future and under-rate the present...see it in fantasy all the time

No way for Goff. I didn't understand that pick to begin with it. He looks like Nick Foles Part II.

For Wentz, yes I probably would. But let me see Dak one more time before I decide for sure.

 

[Bullflop]

What? Trade Dak? Oh, brother -- now that's rich! Hah! What a kidder . . .

True
This is an absolute lock.
Zero debate at this early stage.

Hey we may have found our successor to Romo. So yes, let's trade him for another unknown QB in the same draft because they were drafted higher.

This season needs to hurry and start because the amount of ignorant threads on here are mounting up. This is idiotic.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

some of those are a bit antiquated. Senior in college/graduated from college are nice, but just won't be that common among QBs drafted high, depending on how you count Luck, who was a R-Junior, and *may* have graduated, I'm not sure, there aren't that many QBs drafted high who get those 2 check marks.

as far as Wentz goes, he started a woefully low number of games and when you consider his level of competition, picking him was based purely on measurables and upside. may work out, may not, we'll see.

 

[Verdict]

I think it was a very nice topic to discuss, OP. You should have passed out bullets and guns right before you posted it and got your popcorn ready though!!

You win worst thread of 2016.

This guy here gets it.

 

[Blake]

This guy here gets it.

Hypothetical are not, it's still idiotic to entertain the thought.

Srs stahpppp!

 

[Nightman]

You win worst thread of 2016.

yet here you are on Page 6 and still conveniently avoided answering the question

go on the record and say you wouldn't trade Dak for Goff right now......10 days ago you would have been the village idiot for saying the same thing

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

absolutist on here...

lets see how the season plays out...

 

[Verdict]

given what they gave up, St. Louis and Philly aren't going to deal them after a couple pre season games anyway, so this question is a rather silly one to ponder.

I don't think that was what the original poster was actually asking. I think he was asking if you would trade Dak for the higher drafted QBs from a talent perspective. Right now I would say no, I wouldn't, based not on his stats, but based on Dak's confidence and poise in the pocket. He has looked like a veteran so far.

Goff, Wentz, Lynch and Cook might eventually turn out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread but so far Dak has outperformed them. They might also all turn out to be like Ryan Leaf. Draft position is really irrelevant at this point other than the contracts that come with the draft slot. Dak's lower contract numbers are a bonus on top of his production to date. The risk/reward for Dak is looking pretty good so far.

 

[Verdict]

No way for Goff. I didn't understand that pick to begin with it. He looks like Nick Foles Part II.

For Wentz, yes I probably would. But let me see Dak one more time before I decide for sure.

Kudos to you for responding to the OP rather than complaining about the thread like many here have done. Props to you.
