Why not go after Brady? The Jones' seem to be all in on the next 2-3 seasons, so why not offer him what they offered Dak and bring him to town?

That’s also an option too. Go hard after Brady and then draft a guy to learn for 2 years.

And even if Brady ends being a has been, we aren't screwed long term by Dak's mediocrity and obese contract.

Me too. To watch some idiot pay for it.

You don't have the money to do what you're thinking. Brady is gonna come expensive, cap-killing money. Added to if you want to keep Dak at all and have any chance at all of getting anything for him, you non-exclusive tag him and pay HIM 26 mil for next season. Barring a total collapse of something like 3-13, you're not gonna have a good chance to draft a good QB in 2021.

You would have the exact same problem signing Brees, but your chances of hoisting the Lombardi with Brees at the helm of this offense is much greater than totally immobile and now noodle-armed Brady.

They will however be in a good position to get a good QB this draft. There are several really good QB’s in this draft. It’s likely that one could slide to them at 17. We see almost every year a top QB prospect slides. Hell, considering his injury history it could be Tua. Even a guy like Jake Brohm could be available in the 2nd. If they are going to draft a QB this would be the best year to do it.

Next year sure as hell ain't. But let's be realistic, this aint the 83 draft by a long shot.

Tua can't avoid injury in college, I don't want him on my roster in any capacity. Availability is the best ability.

In boston, there is a lot of talk that dallas is a darkhorse candidate for brady. They are throwing shit at the wall because of it being an upgrade across the board for brady from a personnel standpoint.
Also figuring the offense would cater to him asap upon arrival

no way that happens.. the wagon is hitched to dak for the foreseeable future. Someone is going to blink and its likely to be jerry

And won't even be a blink. Already got the check filled out, just waiting on the little "Amount" box. Just like he did for Dez, Romo, etc and so on. He falls in love with the players, forgets it's business.

HERE'S WHY JERRY WILL SIGN DAK LONG-TERM, DUMMIES

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott bet on himself in September, and he’s about to cash in. One way or the other.

Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that the Cowboys and Prescott “came close to deal in September on a contract that would have paid him roughly $33 million annually.” Talks broke down when Prescott wanted more.

Here’s the thing to remember regarding any talks from 2018. Prescott’s paltry salary of $2 million for 2019 would have dragged down the total value at signing of any new contract. If, for example, the Cowboys had offered a five-year extension worth $33 million per year, the average value at signing on the six-year deal would have been $27.8 million per year, halfway between to total value at signing of the contracts signed by Jimmy Garoppolo (five years, $27.5 million per year) and Kirk Cousins (three years, $28 million per year).

Hill reports that Prescott wants a deal that will pay him as much or more than Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. But there’s a big difference between Wilson’s new-money average of $35 million per year and his total value at signing of $31.4 million per year. Since Prescott currently has no contract, Prescott’s total value at signing and new money will be the same.

So will it be $35 million per year or $31.4 million per year or somewhere in between?

Here’s the more important reality regarding the value of Dak’s next deal. Once the Cowboys apply the franchise tag, the market at the position doesn’t matter. What matters is the projected payout under the tag. If the Cowboys risk exposing Prescott to an offer sheet from another team (which if not matched would give the Cowboys a pair of first-round picks), the starting point would be the non-exclusive tag of roughly $27 million for 2020, along with a 20-percent bump in 2021 to $32.4 million. And then comes 2022, where Prescott would be entitled to a 44-percent increase, to $46.65 million. That’s a year-to-year payout of $106 million over three years, an average of $35.35 million.

If the Cowboys apply the exclusive tender, things get much more expensive. It’s $33.4 million for 2020 (for now) then $40.08 million for 2021 then $57.71 million for 2022, a three-year payout of $131.19 million, or $43.73 million per year.


That’s a huge amount of leverage, if Prescott is willing to play on a year-to-year basis. And he has shown over the past year a stubborn reluctance to bow to the wishes of the Joneses, holding firm for the contract he believes he deserves.

Prescott has even more leverage, given that under the rules of the tag he has the right to stay away from all offseason, training-camp, and preseason activities while still making the full amount of the tender if he shows up in early September. The Cowboys can’t afford to not have Prescott around for the preparations for the first season of Mike McCarthy’s tenure as coach, and if Dak is willing to continue to hold firm it puts maximum pressure on the Cowboys to pay up.


IF WE TAG HIM WE BREAK THE BANK

The parallel is staggering. Almost like both guys had a horrible coach or something.

Of course, when Romo had this garbage-stats year he was hailed as a God who "carried the team." Such fucking nonsense. It ain't "carrying" when you throw 5 picks vs Chicago, two of those returned to the house. It ain't "carrying" when you have the exact same garbage stats we saw in 2019.

How does any of this show garbage stats? I've moved on from Romo, you should do the same and watch the game.

How do you think the D comapred between 2012 with Romo and 2019 with Dak. Here's a hint....I already know the answer.

The D in 2012 suffered from lots of offensive turnovers and bonehead plays, and tons of 3 and outs. Horrid offensive performance. ALL of the same complaints you have for Dak were also true of the QB in 2012.

I could just as easily say the O had to take chances because the D was so bad. The QB had to carry the team in 2012 to have any shot at the playoffs. The team has to carry our current QB.

What will it coast in 2020 is all we should be concerned with.
Which is 27 mil, minimum. My idea of exposing him is even more expensive, as we can't say "22 mil since no one tried to sign you."

LOL

5 picks in one game is "carrying." 2 for 14 on third down, consistently, is "carrying."

I guess you missed my post from a page or two back?

I get you were trying to catch people who like Romo and don't like Dak in a stat trap. Here is the thing, speaking for just myself, I'm not a huge Romo fan. I do think that looking back on it, Romo was more talented and more capable than Dak is right now.
