Why NFL teams are willing to pay their Franchise QB’s

[Motorola]

Franchise QBs don’t grow on trees. If you find one with the tools you pay them. What ever the going rate is.

But don't be afraid to pull the plug on them if after a few seasons they don't live up to "franchise" expectations.
2016 draft___
Goff - Rd 1 \ #1 Pick
Wentz - Rd 1 \ #2 Pick
Lynch - Rd 1 \ #26 Pick
Cook - Rd 4 \ #100 Pick

That 2016 No. 135th Pick continually aging like a fine wine.

Jerry played the game. I believe he does care about winning. As shown by his early transactions. I think his son reined him in. Has he ever played? I would guess no. But I'm not sure. That's who we have to look forward to.

He doesn’t care enough about winning to get out of the way. He’s even said that remaining interesting and relative is the priority.

And yes , he played for Hogs just like his daddy.

Yeah I think he started one year. Dude was a bum. But how do you explain the complete turnaround Jerry has done if not for his son? This is not the old Jerry Jones. For as many bad moves he's made, he's acquired much talent over time. He was actively pursuing a championship. He is no longer doing that. Why?

I don’t believe it’s been a complete turnaround.

As always Jethro is influenced by those around him and you have to convince him to go against his instincts.

He thought he was close to a championship , he still does. Or he at least presents that perception. Because his eternal optimism promotes and hypes his brand.

Yes. I do agree. Watching for so many years allows us to see all of this. But he was more active years ago. Got TO. That other WR from the Jets, I forget his name. CB Sanders. Charles Haley. Went and got Parcells. He doesn't do any of this now. He doesn't even move up in the draft. He's been Neutered.

Bringing in McCarthy is a similar move for Parcells.

He’s still meddling with Moore. And he recently made big trade for Cooper. Not that much has changed.

I read where Arizona stipulated in this monster contract that Murray study film ? What ! If you have to put that language in a contract that’s a problem.

Wow. If 100+ million is not enough incentive, no clause will matter. He will just sit and stare at the film, but learn nothing.

I’m glad Dak has a 4 yr deal because by the end of 23 Dallas will know one way or another . And love the guy or dislike him I’ve never gotten from Dakota Prescott that things like film study or laying it on the line for Dallas was ever an issue .

I'm not sure he's a HOF coach. And 1 major move in 10 years with Cooper?

Cap is going up, if it doesn't then you will hear the NFLPA start pushing for "QB" cap adjustments as the other players are being squeezed out of pay

Cap goes up and agents bid for more, there should be a cap within the cap, but it will never happen.

 

[Typhus]

QB's dont take teams anywhere. If the Cowboys go to the NFC Championship game and Dak is playing like crap and throwing picks, it will mean nothing in regards to Dak. Same thing the other way.

Dak is a top 10 QB in the NFL. That doesnt change because a team has more or less success.

Thats crazy talk and you know it.

I don't like the fact a team can draft well and still not be able to keep all of their players. It's as if teams draft for themselves, and everyone else. They should give a cap discount for resigning drafted players. It doesn't give anyone an unfair advantage. But owners won't do it as it could cost the more.

 

[Typhus]

Right

Basically in the NFL you are either ponying up to pay and build around your franchise qb or the endless carousel looking for one.

What wrong with drafting a decent prospect that might slip to the 2nd round, would you not think the value would be there to upgrade Rush or Grier, what is wrong with
possibly finding a replacement when Dak is done here, just not at the last minute.

I get we all want to be able to retain everyone, but the entire league has to adhere to the same rules, same hard cuts.
It has become a bit more available to stash a couple extra with the extended season and revised CBA though.
Im just glad we waited till the 5th this draft to make the upside gamble rather than blowing 2nds like soap bubbles.

Paying the franchise QB is part of a proven formula.

I wonder if the teams that have those players listed above would switch with us now and have Dak.

 

[CowboyRoy]

QB's dont take teams anywhere buddy. Another myth. Football is the ultimate team game. QB's play 1/3 of what gets put out there and then all they do is pass on offense. QB play is dependent on many different things.

QB is the position that has the highest impact on a franchise, every franchise.

Yep, and thats why guys like Dak are rare. Regardless, QB's dont win anything without quality teams around them.
