I will say though, that Dak doesn't want to be paid as a top 10-15 qb. He wants to be paid as a top 3+ qb. That's fine, but top 3 qb's can carry their team to the playoffs with a mediocre to bad D. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BreeDr00.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know man. I think a lot of other variables come into play and need to fall in place for that to happen. It just wasn't going to happen in Dallas especially with the coaching drama from the season. Not just the ST/D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How people want to blame Dak and the offense for last year's debacle is beyond me. Him not showing up against top opponents until very late in games hurt, but DREADFUL special teams and horrible playcalling and a lack of effort on defense were much bigger problems.

Not just the ST/D. You both made salient points. Garrett being an obvious progress stopper as a head coach exacerbated everyone’s problems.

How people want to blame Dak and the offense for last year's debacle is beyond me. It's not blaming Dak for last year at his last years salary. It's that we are about to pay Dak like we don't NEED a good defense and ST. Obviously, as you say, that's not close to true. Like we might be about to lose a VERY good to elite CB. And an edge rusher that had 11.5 sacks last year because we have to pay our QB and a WR. You guys talk out of both sides of your mouths. "Dak was great but our defense sucked so we sucked too. We should let the few good players we have on defense walk, so we can sign Dak at all costs." I personally think we can sign them all, but I also believe that is wishful thinking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I know us nerds are excited about our new coaching staff, but I have a hard time seeing that our roster talent on defense in 2020 will be > 2019 regardless of who is likely to be there at 17, If we lose one of Quinn or Jones. Especially if we lose both. Which is a real possibility. I got a semi for Espensa and Kinlaw but I doubt either by themselves cover for a loss of Quinn and Jones.

I have a terrible feeling that "I cant ask for those riches" Dak has ate the cheese. He/his agent are probably not looking to do us any favors. $35M+ seems like a possibility; and I hate that.

Every GD Penny I could get. But I'm not Dak. I'm not a true leader. I'm not the epitome of team player. I'm not the guy the roster would run through a brick wall for. Dak is. He should take a team friendly deal. How would you feel if you were Quinn, Byron, la'el, Jaylon, Amari, Zack Martin, Tyron, even the over paid Zeke... ...seeing Dak balk at an AAV of 35 when people call you overpaid at 10 Edited February 15, 2020 by DaBoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been under the impression that you want Dak to be the highest paid QB of all time so you can hang a poster on your wall and validate all your fancy stats? What do YOU want Dak to make, what do you think he deserves? If you're the GM, what is your bottom line offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any thing above Wilson is unreasonable. I also don't think we have any choice but to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 We can afford to extend Dak, bring back Byron and Amari and Quinn and still have money to add a few key pieces in FA - if the front office wants to. That’s where this all lies. What they want to do, because the money isn’t a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
