I’m not disputing the importance of the position . I’m arguing the the success of the team isn’t the only evaluation measuring the value of the player.
And Mahomes received the monster contract cause he’s considered the most talented QB in the league. He would have received it without winning a SB.
You’re continuing to miss my point or simply attempting to redirect it. I’m not sure anymore.
But you have basically answered my question. You attach a QB’s value to the success of the team more than his individual performance, production and talent level.
And my stance on this issue isn’t about arguing Daks value. Only that if you want Dak we missed the best opportunity to sign him for less moving forward while placing the Cowboys in position of not having a franchise QB after 2021.
It is not the only one but it is a big part of it.
As for Mahomes yes he would have gotten a deal, not sure it would have been as much but his production is a very big reason they made it all the way and that means a lot.
I will say this Dak play goes a long way in the teams success or failure just as I explained KC with Alex Smith vs Mahomes taking over was night and day, yes team plays a big part but the leadership and production of the QB is what gets them over that hump.
I'm not worried about less or more, I want to see Dak take the next step as a QB to step up big in big games to show he is a top QB. Lets do it now and it will be cheaper? hell with that, show me you are a top caliber QB capable of getting this team to the top and I will gladly pay, for me this is not about how we get out of this the cheapest rout
