Right now they have a highly-paid, immobile QB. Dak needs a breath of fresh air
If Dak leaves Dallas, I'd much rather he go to the Saints but I don't think he's leaving this year.Quote:

Dak does not want to leave Dallas. They do have the makings of a good team. They just need a few more pieces here and there but most teams are like that.
His endorsements might not completely dry up but I doubt he wants to jeopardize the $50 million plus he gets every year from those endorsements.
His salary is just part of the gig and is not even half what he truly makes.
Now, it's just about getting what you can and building it as much as you can. When you get enough, do you stop? If you do, then what?
Dak was completely left out of the 2021 hype video that Dallas released following the end of the super bowl. I don't know what that means, but that is no accident, and it has caused quite a bit of fuss here in Dallas. Regardless of what happens, negotiations are not going good right now from what I hear.
He goneQuote:

He would give that offense a definite boost. They have a ton of weapons with Cook, Thielen, Jefferson, Rudolph but the QB holds them back. He would be a good fit in a few different spots right now, Saints included.
Unless the video is being used as a strong arm bargaining chip it was done purposefully indicating that his return is in doubt. There are enough dumbass Cowboy fans calling for him to leave that it may happen. I hope he goes somewhere else and wins a Super Bowl in two season. And that the Cowboys never win a game again.Quote:

See the Jared Goff tradeQuote:

A lot of shine was taken off Goff and Wentz this year. If I had to rank the QBs right now I'd probably go:Quote:

9. Dak
10. Ryan
And before the injury Dak led the NFL in passing by a wide margin. It took the next man up 3 extra games to pass him for the NFL lead in yards.Quote:

"he can't elevate his team", "he can't will them to win", "he can't run/pass block, catch his own passes, and play defense, what a ****ing scrub!". Why Watson is worshiped, yet Dak is reduced baffles me. (not all of that was directed at you Steve, lol).
I'm not sold on Allen.
Stafford? Nah....
Jackson. Mark it down; he's been figured out, and will remain so until he can throw the ball like an NFL QB. His coaches are doing him zero favors by allowing him to run up the gut like a RB all damn game. Not only is his body taking punishment, he's using that offense as a crutch to not develop his passing game. That's a significant difference between Lamar and Dak; Dak has literally gotten better as a passer every year in the league, and he really doesn't run much, despite being labeled as an "option QB" out of college. He's turned into a legit pocket passer, something a whole lotta people said he would never become. Jackson on the other hand, hasn't developed his passing game beyond the play-action game and a few simple reads.
Dak has Cooper, Lamb, Gallup, Zeke(no matter what you might think of him he takes pressure of Dak and the passing game), and a good line. While I agree that some of the love for Watson is unwarranted, he has none of those things and him and Dak were basically even when he had Hopkins. I believe Watson with weapons is a top 5 QB.Quote:

Stafford is a gunslinger and I believe will elevate the Rams akin to Brady with the Bucs. I don't think he'll take them to the SB, but they're going to be dangerous next year.
Lamar may be figured out to an extent, but he's still good for 5-6 electrifying plays a game. Simple fact is that they're a playoff team with him and dog**** team without him.

Just kidding, obviously, but dude....have you followed the Cowboys? Was their O-line elite Dak's rookie season? Absolutely. Has it been a very fast down hill slide since (the last year or two being especially horrendous)? ****. Yes.
Edited to add: there isn't a bigger myth in the NFL than Dallas having a top tier O-line...yet another thing I see talking heads spout off as if they actually watch the game to hold against Dak.
A lot of teams will pay Dak big money to be their Qb this year. I think you underestimate the value in a Top-10 Qb in the NFL...Dak will either be tagged for the 37 million, then make equal to or more next year or if traded he will make that much in a place like San Francisco or Denver this year.Quote:

The fact that you put Dak 10th makes me think you are a local cowboys fan. He and Watson aren't in the same sphere and soon everyone is going to realize this. You realize Dak was leading most QB statistical categories before the injury right? He was putting up mvp numbers.
It kills me people rank Watson that high. What has he done? His numbers don?t even compare with what Dak has done. He had a great defense when the Texans were good and a hall of fame wide receiver he could throw the ball anywhere and he would catch it. Watson is no better than Dak. Period.
Saw where other players that aren?t under contract werent in that video either. Vander Esch wasnt in the vid. Hes gonna be back. People are making mountains out of mole hills on that little video snipit in my opinion. Dak will be a Cowboy this season guaranteed. He may be tagged and only make THIRTY SEVEN MILLION this coming season or they could finally get him signed. Either way, he will be a Cowboy. Hes bet in himself thru the first 4 seasons in the NFL, and odds are he will again this year. This is it though. Cowboys will need to either 💩 or get off the pot if Dak will be a Cowboy in 2022. If he plays anywhere near his 2020 season before injury, he will have a bidding war for his services on 2022 and Jerry will be kicking himself for not getting him signed. He should be kicking himself for not getting a deal done going in to the 2019 season and have Dak locked up for the next 2 years. Hes cost the Cowboys millions and millions of dollars by dragging this out.
Dak belongs to Dallas this season so they would have to trade him. Most teams arent going to go in and offer some big deal to pull him away after that injury.
Dak will either get tagged again and make about $38MM in 2021 or they will get a deal done. I expect him to be tagged again. Jones has screwed up their payroll too much to fix things
It will be harder for Dallas to manage the cap by tagging him than signing him. They can spread out the cap hit but his tag will cause a lot of problems. They can't afford to tag him as of right now. They would have to restructure or cut some people to tag Dak.Quote:
