Jerry wants to be to win the most Super Bowls of any owner. He doesn't have enough years of life left to catch Bob Kraft.

IMHO, he needs to be bold again like he was when he hired Jimmy. He has to get away from Dak and Dak's contract! The contract is an albatross that allows no margin for error.

I could go on and on about how I think the Patriots managed to get back so quickly. The same with the Rams and Seahawks, but in a nutshell it is because their GMs were NOT afraid to suck for a couple or a few years.

Get rid of Dak! Dump that contract. If there is a team that will go 60/40 on the contract then do it. If Rodgers decides to retire, send Dak to the Steelers and a couple of picks.

And before someone says he has a no-trade clause. It's easy. Accept the trade or ride the pine.

One was an upfront in writing 230 million dollar guarantee. Spread out over 5 years.
Prescott's was just 60 mil per spread out over 4 years.

So pretty much one in the same.
Also not taking into account Dak's redo of his contract to help with the cap.

As with most bad news stuff when you see it in writing it tends to have an even bigger impact on you.

Man, there's just such a lack of return on investment here that Prescott's entire tenure will always be as the most overpaid QB in NFL history.

What a legacy.
Dooms beat me to it, but he's right. Deshaun Watson is the worst personnel decision ever made by an NFL FO and by far the most vastly overpaid player in league history.

The only thing close to it decision-wise is Mike Lynn with the Vikings for Herschel.

You might want to look up exactly what Cleveland got for their investment, which wasn't just the 231 mils guaranteed. They invested massive draft capital to get him.

The Browns got 9 total wins, 19 TD passes, about 6 yds per pass attempt and a QB rating in the high 70's for 3 partial seasons of play.

I'm no fan of what we paid Prescott, but his situation is not even remotely comparable to Watson and the Browns.

I hear ya. With the draft capital lost and all.
But the end game is all the same though and Dak's win-loss record since signing for 60 million annually has produced exactly the same zero postseason success that the Browns' investment did.

So they may have lost more draft capital given up but Dallas accomplished no more than the Browns did in the big scheme of things.

My opinion.

And only seven or eight teams out of 32, have had true "postseason success" during the same time frame. More than 20 of the ones that didn't, have replaced their QB since then.

We haven't had "postseason success" since Aikman in 1995. You're hanging it ALL on Dak? That's not objective.

Nah, not all of it.
But at 60 million per, I think it's reasonable to expect a little more return on investment than a 10-14-1 record In your last 2 years' 25 starts.
But that's just me.

Run such requirements on Romo. On Aikman. WHITE! You're gonna find that on all of them even Staubach.

How come Dak is breaking team passing records? If he sucks he couldn't do that no way even with all the rule changes he and Romo enjoyed. You're not objective.
