He wants to be the highest paid player in the league so maybe he better be?

If he was real close to being finished he wouldn't have gone in the fourth round you would have gone a lot sooner good point
that and the fact that Dak is this teams best play maker on the entire team,, just let that sink in for a moment.

And yet we have a 90 million and a 105 million dollars players they haven't shown up to much this year

From 2017 to 2018, and from 2018 to 2019 many shared the opinion that Dak was who he was and couldn’t make real improvement.

We lament the infuriating game management, retroactive personnel decisions, and years of schematic complacency. Yet refuse to acknowledge how Dak has improved in spite of all this, and once he received some real coaching (Kitna’s been great) he made even bigger strides. Its all but decided that a new coaching staff will be here next year, wouldn’t that make y’all more excited to see how much more Dak can improve? How can anyone logically see Dak’s progression, crap on coaching, then feel like he’s done improving even though we know better coaching is on the way?

Even Troy Aikman walked back his comments on Dak and “you are what you are” accuracy-wise and said Dak had really impressed him with his mechanics and down-field passing. The revered Aikman himself acknowledged that Dak was one of the few guys he’s seen make significant strides in their throwing ability. Wouldn’t that give a fan faith that Dak can still improve?

Why do we here at CZ find it so hard to fathom that Dak will indeed improve? QB’s get better all the way into their 30’s and the game slows down mentally and physically, it’s asinine to think 26yo Dak is a finished product. Tony tinkered with and improved his motion all the way up until he had to retire.

Guys like Tom, Russ, and Big Ben all made incredible improvements throughout their careers and worked their way up from tier 2/3 guys to top 5 guys. Now I’m not saying he’s them, but he’s had many more similarities in his career arc ability wise than differences. He’s already worked his way up from being a bottom 10 guy in 2017 to a top 10 guy now. Why does it have to stop there?

I think it’s incredibly pessimistic to think Dak won’t improve, what about y’all?

I don't know if everyone thinks Dak is a finished product.

Count me in the camp that says, "I haven't seen enough progress to make me confident it's a good idea to pay $40 mil a year to find out what the finished product ends up being."

You came in with an agenda and our conversation will end in accordance with that agenda.
Forget the names you mentioned and I'll answer your question in another example that was feasible if not for our inept GM.
This team the last 4 years would have won Superbowl # 6 with ROMO at QB.
Is that good enough of a response for you?
Now back-track to Romo being injury prone and not durable as an excuse why we need to have such an inept QB leading our offense!

lol dude stop

After the 1st 3 games I thought i'd been wrong about his as he was on pace to destroy his previous years TD record. And then he fell to earth and he went back to struggling to score TD's again.

Unfortunately, it looks like Dallas will regret these big contracts. If I was Jerry, I would think long and hard before I signed another player to a big contract. Another thing to consider is that this team is going to need to start another rebuilding phase very soon with players like Tyron and Martin having injuries that looks like it will shorten their careers . This could escalate into a full rebuild with a couple major injuries to key players.

I think Dak still can improve, I just don't think we should pay him MVP $$ when at his current pace it'll be another 5 years for him to improve to that level.

I am on the fence with Dak. He has a lot of upside but I am not sure it's 30+ million a year upside. I would not give him that kind of contract. Go somewhere else and lose.

Where do you rank him 1-32?

Probably 11-15 range
Ah ok I feel strongly that he’s in the top 10 and I think he’s had a top 7 season.

I feel like he doesn’t have that much further to go to be a top 5 guy. You feel like there is a significant step he needs to take. It is what it is

I think that's a pretty fair and reasonable summation

Without wasting any words... just look at his play these past two weeks... he couldn’t hit an open receiver 5 yards downfield...
