We went 2001, 2002, and 2003 without a future franchise QB on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_OutLaw7 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I do, however, agree that we are in a passing league. Look at what the Titans did with their reclamation project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was able to sign a guy like Ryan Tannehill, or Tom Brady for 1/2 the cost of Dak while picking up two first rounders, I think I do that.

Tannehill has really only had this one good year. Just goes back to that whole "team game concept" that many want to conveniently forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for the last 30 years we have gone 4 without a legitimate franchise QB. The game is also getting easier to play on offense which is why rookie QBs are setting records every year now. In no time in NFL history have young QBs come in and enjoyed the success they are now. QBs aren't as rare as they used to be. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001100535/article/cowboys-expected-to-franchise-tag-dak-prescott It was from about 98 to 2006... Aikman was trash at the end of his career, his brain was scrambled. There was almost a decade of incompetent QB play. It was literally labeled the dark days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts4313 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Its crazy to me that you all are down playing the hopeless feeling of going into your season with vinny, drew, quincy, chad, ryan, etc. We knew there was a solid chance that 5 wins was our peak. I think it drove many Cowboys fans to being alcoholics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say Aikman was trash at the end of his career but that's not really the debate. Dak has been trash 2 of his 4 years but we aren't actively searching for a QB.

Dak has been trash for like 10-16 games in 4 years. Knock 2017 for the ending, but before the Atlanta game he had like a 100 QB rating. And no one will ever convince me he didnt get concussed. He had a 250# DE that ran directly into his head. The next year he admitted to still being shook by the hit. Brain injuries arent like knees; there isnt a time frame for getting right. Sometimes you arent right mentally for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get the 7th pick this year plus a 1st next for sure and sign someone like Tannehill or Teddy for $25 million? Dak at $34 million plus the 17th pick or Tannehill/Teddy at $25 million plus the 7th, 17th and a pick next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts4313 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I think I've literally changed my mind like 50 times on if 2 first rounders and tanehill is enough for Dak. Finding QBs is really really hard. Passing league or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northland Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 If Dak is franchised does he have the option of holding out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
