this could be true with one huge exception. Dak is a great leader throughout the team while Tony had his posse
All that is true, but I don't get the point. We also had the best Offense in the league last year and 6% more total yards than the next closest team. Those guys were all reasons (although your Witten line shows your anti-Dak agenda. Like he is still that player
) but the biggest reason BY FAR was Dak.
That's opinion...
Two points. First one is that while he still needs to get better at some things and more consistent, the idea of Dak not being good enough is silly and it befuddles me that people are still peddling it after the numbers he put up this year - not just the quantity of his stats, but the quality ones as well. So, not signing Dak leaves them almost no chance at all to contend in the NFC unless they bring in another good QB. While it's maybe 50/50 that a Brady or Rivers could make them better (or worse) they will have a similar cap impact over the next couple of years and signing them would still leave the Cowboys without a long term QB.
Here is where you lose all credibility on the topic. There is no question from any account ever that Dak unites a locker room and is an incredible leader and universally loved by everyone in the locker room and has as much heart on the field as anyone and is 100% a team first player. While with Romo we often heard how he divided the locker room and had "his guys" that he confided in. Romo definitely loved him some Romo. You could argue Romo was a better QB and had more talent and I think most Cowboy fans and non-Cowboy fans would agree with you, but trying to give him the leadership nod is silly.
IMO, the only way putting the tag on him makes any sense at all is if they plan to let him go after next season. Otherwise, as you said, the 30 something million from this years will start at $40 million after Mahomes and Watson are redone
yep....and franchising him for the next two years (73M) then giving him a contract starting at 40M plus per is the sure fire way he gets 200M plus in guaranteed money.
I agree...which is why I expect Dak to be signed within the next 4 to 5 weeks
I award you the bull shit award
I agree to a point. I think the Cowvoys should offer $33 million...which is more than Wentz and Goff got.. If that isn't enough, then tag him and start getting ready to move on. That would mean signing a quality backup and using a 1st or 2nd round pick on a QB. Problem is, what I think the Cowboys will do is tag him and go into next season with Cooper Rush as the only other QB on the roster.. Which makes no sense at all.All that is true, but I don't get the point. We also had the best Offense in the league last year and 6% more total yards than the next closest team. Those guys were all reasons (although your Witten line shows your anti-Dak agenda. Like he is still that player
I'm all for tagging Dak if the two sides can't come to an agreement but if we do that we need a plan B that we are willing to implement because it is obviously going to piss off Dak if we tag him and he likely will sit out as well. So we need to be ready to bring in another QB and then pull the tag (cap won't allow both) and let Dak go elsewhere and if we do that we better well be damn sure that we are ready to deal with moving on without him. You guys criticize Dak but be careful what you wish for because you may just get it.
Watching the game last night, I was thinking that Dak is better than Jimmy G for sure...but he can't hold that other QB's jock.. So lets hurry up and pay him a little more than the one and not wait till the price goes up to the other
Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL. he proved that to me at least.
