Trade Dak Prescott Debate

[Dorsett33]

And my thread about Prescott was deleted...smh.

If you are a pro scout, the question is where do all of these QBs project down the road.

Right now, in the preseason is absurdly short sighted. Of course looking better is nice, but what does the arc look like...how do they ultimately project?

If you think Dak, a mature 5th year senior from the SEC, has a better long term growth path and upside as the other guys with less of a foundation, then you should keep Dak.
If you see any of them moving ahead of Dak in a year or three, then maybe you take them.

It was hypothetical by the OP and not a specific suggestion.

I think this is a fun thread. I'm not all that terribly surprised by the success Dak has had. And at the same time I am. Just because he's a rookie and this is the NFL. But if you studied Dak and read all you could predraft... by all accounts he was a tremendous leader, had uncommon poise and intangibles off the charts. A student of the game, very hard worker, humble and had a contagious positive attitude, plus all the physical attributes you look for.
The people in Mississippi, his coaches and teammates all loved him.
Those are the type of players in college that succes seems to translate to in the NFL.
That being said I am surprised he's been this good this quick.

That's the problem. Folks didn't study him or even worse, don't know what to look for. They simply saw a QB who had success running and throwing the ball that wore #15 and wrote him off as another "Tim Tebow."

Yet many so called experts felt Johnny Football was all that and worthy of a 1st rd. I see a lot more flaws in Manziel game when he was at Texas A&M than I did with Dak.

Let me help you out, TS.

Excellent!

I wouldn't trade Dak for a high first rounder at this point.

If he can play at an eliete level in two years on his rookie contract, we can really allocate a ton of funds otherwise earmarked for a franchise QB straight to the D, etc.

*Like the Seacocks did when Russle Wilson was balling during his rook contract.

Either way, if I want to get pumped out of my skull, I'd almost rather see Dak on the field over Romo at this point. He's just such an enigma...

 

[RoyTheHammer]

We aren't trading him.

There's no debate.

Next thread..

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?

No way one of those teams would make that offer.

I may trade Dak for a 1st and a 3rd, probably want at least a 1st and 2nd. MAYBE a team would do that trade, but it could be something that bites us in the *** long-term. Potential franchise QB = keep.
