What exactly is your alternative? Let's say Dallas does not sign Dak. Who is your QB in that scenario?

Start over and draft one or sign a FA.

Overpaying for Dak will affect other positions too.

 

It bears repeating, I do not think Dak sucks.  I believe he’s not worth the spend of the amounts being suggested.

Which FA quarterback is better than Dak? 

Spoiler alert:  They don't exist because top 10 QBs never make it to FA. 

 

Which college QB available at the end of round 1 is going to be better than Dak? If you get lucky, they might be better than Dak with 2-3 years of development. So let's throw away the prime years of the oline, Zeke, Amari, the first good defense in 20 years, so we can find out if that experiment worked in 3 years. 

Or, you could agree that re-signing a proven winner in Dak, is pretty much the only non-regarded option at this point. 

I'm bored...

FA QBs cost just as much and are worse than Dak.

We are gonna pay Dak $32m a year and either kellen Moore is the genius some people think and we roll and dak turns into Russell Wilson, or none of that works and we are in the same position we’ve been in for the last 20 years. It’s not like we aren’t used to this shit already.

Dak isn’t remotely the playmaker Romo was.

 

In the end, as long as Garrett is the HC, it don’t make a fuck...

Guys, the people on the don’t pay Dak side are basically saying they’d rather tank than pay Dak. They’re saying they’d rather go the redskins route and franchise tag him until he refuses to do it anymore, even if that means he holds out on the first franchise tag and never comes back. They’d rather suffer through the Chad Hutchinson/Drew Henson days instead of overpaying for Dak, even while we’re in a legitimate championship window, because they feel like it will cripple us over the life of his contract. Neither side is wrong right now, especially now that Wentz got 32 mil a year and Dak is probably going to want more than that. This situation is fucked. I see both sides at this point. Because I don’t even see how we can pay Cooper if Dak gets Wentz+ money.

If we’re comparing 3rd/4th year Romo to 3rd/4th year Dak, how can you even make a comparison? Romo had arguably the 3rd best wr of all time in his prime, along with a good running game and a good defense. And I’m obviously talking about Romo as a 3rd year starter, because it isn’t comparable if we’re talking his 3rd year in the league. This year is the test. He finally has playmakers to work with outside of a running game. It’s just a god damn fucking shame that we have to actually pay him this year.

Edited June 12, 2019 by youdunnf'dup

And you can pay Dak and go 9-7 every season, never drafting better or going deep in the POs, if at all...

 

but QB is tied up...and the GM’s hands are tied.

 

woo-hoo. Happy times!!!

[Junior Miller 1502]

What did Wentz get? 32 per year? How much guaranteed? I think, unfortunately, that's now the starting point negotiation for Dak because his agent will hammer Stephen with "wentz got this and he misses a ton of games while my guy is there every down". 

Hopefully new offense and Dak shows he can carry the team this year.

The QB pricing market is already fucked. If you're waiting on the next Tom Brady or Pat Mahomes as the only time it's worth paying that much, you might as well just go back to the revolving door at QB. Every new QB deal is out of whack, but that's the market. I'd rather pay too much for a proven QB with potential than pretend that we're gonna magically fall into a franchise QB in the draft. Because that just ain't gonna happen.

Do we get to live through Anthony Wright, Clint Stoerner and Quincy Carter too? I'm down, let him walk, we'll luck into a franchise QB really easily, probably. Everybody does it. There's tons of them all over the NFL right?

I agree with you guys for the most part. I’ve been on the pay Dak bandwagon since this thread started. But now that we’ve let wentz, and wentz specifically get 32 mil a year before Dak, we’re about to have to give Dak right around the same contract that Russell Wilson just got. Let that sink in for a second. Nothing about that makes sense. I’d love to give him a deal that matches wentz’s deal (even though I probably wouldn’t have said that 2 weeks ago), but now that’s almost out of the question. And we’re not about to let Dak hold out. He has all the leverage. We’re in a championship window and he’s our only viable option at qb. He’s gonna get whatever the fuck he wants, basically

Every QB with an ounce of talent has the leverage these days. The game is all about the QB. You don't have one, you aren't going to win and any team that has is the outlier, especially in today's game. QB salaries are not coming down any time soon. The longer you wait, the more you will have to pay. The next QB is always going to be the highest paid. Remember when Stafford was the highest paid ever? That was some years ago.

Dak and his agent see Wentz's contract. And it will start there. To think he will get paid a lot less than that is very naive. It's simple economics. It doesn't matter what you think Dak is worth. The market will set the value. And right now the value for his services is where Wentz is at. And any QB worth a damn. You are also naive if you think Dallas walks away from him. They have no backup plan right now. The backups we have now are junk to put it nicely. Neither of them would win us more than 4 games at the max. We'd have another 2015 season with them.

Dak is good enough to win in this league if he gets the right support system like other successful QBs. And that means coaches worth a damn and a scheme that caters to his strengths. I think the player personnel on our offense, especially with the OL coming back a lot healthier, is good enough to win. Dak, Zeke, this OL and what we have at WR is plenty good enough. But we don't have coaches who have gotten them into the best chance to win and an offensive scheme gameplan to utilize their strengths. 

Switch our staff with the Rams staff and you'd see a night and day difference with both teams. Garrett with Goff would be a nightmare for Goff. I'd love to see what McVay could do with Dak. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

My main point is, if we pay Dak (at this point) it’s going to be damn near impossible to pay cooper. Dak needs cooper, or someone of that caliber. He just does. There was a night and day difference in the passing game after he came. Those types of WRs are hard to find. We have one now, and he’s 25. We absolutely have to pay cooper.

While I agree with the bold, I would also argue that teams that sign shitty gigantic deals with QBs, usually free agent signings but sometimes huge extensions, aren't going to win either. It's a no brainer if you have a top 8 QB. The tough part is managing what to do with a #9-#20 type of QB.

Well, if it's a 9-16 type of QB, and you have some talent around them (and I believe Dak is in this zone), then you're likely going to the playoffs 3 out of every 4 years if not every year.  If you have a solid defense during those years, you have a shot.

They will still pay Cooper because they have too much  money invested in offense to let a giant hole at receiver derail it. Where they'll be screwed is on defense unless they can draft at an elite level for the next several years.

35mil. $25 mil was a pipe dream that was never going to happen unless we paid him last year, and last year he hadn’t proven enough (mainly because, in hindsight, we gave him shit for weapons like the wr by committee he started out with last year). I can almost guarantee it’ll be 35 mil a year. And that just fucking sucks, IMO.

I can easily see them pay both Cooper and Dak. I really don't get this money issue. It won't really start affecting them for a couple of years, and by then the Cap will be even higher, and Dak will be paid around the 10th-12 highest QB contract, as he should be.

Dak has only gone 9-7 one year, and it was a year where EVERYTHING went wrong.  It wasn't just Zeke.  People forget that they had over the hill Dez, and super old Witten(which should concern us this year), and also how bad was the OL that year?  People continue to say "everything has to be perfect or Dak struggles" when that's not the case.  You take away Zeke, and credible receiving option that isn't white and 5'10, and has a revolving door at LG/LT and yeah...he'll struggle.  Most QB's will.

Cool, so I solve the Cowboys' problem in one post?  Easy ask, bro.

Franchise him after this contract runs out.  IF he bails, he bails.  You're still going to need to pay Zeke and the OL as well as the young Defensive studs coming up.

 

You're not paying everyone.  Have Dak prove he's worth the contract.   He has not done that to date.  Let him prove he's too valuable to let go.

Wentz was a top 2 pick. That type of pedigree will go a long way towards elevating him in the minds of everyone.  Not to mention that his run of play before his knee injury was fairly high quality.  The fact is the stink that comes with being drafted that highly is hard to wash off.  Watch Winston have an average to decent season this upcoming year and end up signing a stupid contract.  Same thing happened to Tannehill a few years back and he wasn't even drafted as highly as Winston and Wentz.

Very thorough analysis.

Yup. No way around it after wentz got his money. We’re kinda fucked, ladies. I’m finally crossing over. I think you have to play the franchise tag game until we’re all blue in the face. Or at least until he proves without a shadow of a doubt that he can carry this team if it came down to it. I love me some Dak. A lot more than most. Paying him $34 mil a year, at this stage in his career, with all the unknown would just be fucking stupid IMO. It might work out, it might not. But that’s the problem. If we pay him that much and he stays an 8-16ish qb like he is right now, we might as well be the Marvin Lewis Bengals. Good enough to stay in playoff contention every year, but not good enough to be taken seriously as an actual championship contender. I just can’t believe it’s gotten to this point. I feel like 28-30 mil would’ve gotten it done before wentz’s deal. Now we’re gonna drag this thing out, Goff might get paid, and the price will go up even more.

[Junior Miller 1502]

A big part of the problem is that notion of the QB of the Cowboys being a marquee position in all of sports right up with Yankees shortstop. The media and Jones family perpetrate it and guys like Romo and Dak start thinking they should get top of the league money because they're in such a marquee spot even though they aren't top 10 in the league in their position.

I think it has more to do with the fact that it’s the most scrutinized position in all of sports. Romo would be viewed a lot differently if he was the qb of the dolphins for his entire career. You’re viewed under a microscope unlike any other position in sports, and it really isn’t close.

These media reports are basically coming out saying, "Show me a loss..."

 

LOLz.   It's PRACTICE, man...

On paper, this is by far the most talented team Garrett has had. That’s why his contract hasn’t been renewed yet. This team seems to respond better when he’s on the hot seat for some reason. But the Jones family knows what they’ve built, and they know it’s as good if not better than the 07 roster. Now we all know how that turned out, but the talent is obviously there this year.

It's the same shit every year. Everyone here is Cowboys media either directly working for Jones (Broaddus) or for their flagship station. They're in mini camps with zero pads, zero hitting, just going through motions and these media fucks are blowing it up like you can tell shit about them from that setting. 

They'll kiss their ass now, kiss their ass at training camp, and in the regular season it's 50/50 whether the team will suck or not. 

Dude, the guys on 105.3 constantly bitch about how shitty Garrett-Top is at coaching, how annoying it is that Jerry wants to keep him around, and are split just like this board on Dak.  They don’t suck up to Jerry just because they’re the radio home
