Should the Cowboys Trade Dak Prescott?

  1. 1. Should the Cowboys Trade Dak Prescott?

    • Yes! Trade him, improve other areas of the team and let MM develop a rookie.
    • No! He's a great quarterback and those are hard to find. Pay the man!

Do you have any sort of study to back this up? 

I don't. I'm going based on memory the number of QB's on rookie deals in the playoffs. You can make the case the "team friendly deal" is similar to a rookie deal since it's the same premise so the numbers could be higher. I just just used rookie deals for now. But off hand let's see what I can put together...

2019: 5 of 12 teams or 41%

2018: 6 of 12 teams or 50% (didn't count Wentz since Foles played)

2017: 2 of 12 teams or 17% (Didn't count Wentz since Foles played)

2016: 3 of 12 teams or 25%

2015: 3 of 12 teams or 25%

You see the trend is going up and can be viewed as higher if you consider Wentz in '17 and '18 along with Brock Osweiler and Brian Hoyer in '15 and '16 considering how cheap they were.

Theyve offered him less than Wentz and Goff, even though he has been better than both in every measurable way, especially when you factor in fumbles. Weve been cheap. 

 

And still, the Cowboys didn't win the division in 2019.  This whole argument may be worthless because your biggest problem was probably coaching, but it just seems like if you can get another young guy and coach him up to be on the level of Dak, Wentz, Goff, Cousins, Garoppolo, etc., in a year or two, AND have money to add a couple of quality free agents in other areas of the team, you might be better off.  Matts, I know you are a big fan of Dak, and I don't blame you for that.  If you think it's not worth shipping out a very good quarterback, that is certainly a valid point.  As you have stated, none of us knows if the rookie you draft would actually be any good.  He could bust.

in 2020 by a narrow margin, because he padded his stats against bad times and in garbage time and had one of the best offensive supporting casts in the league.

Except he plays in an easier division than Goff and hasn't been to a SuperBowl yet. Also, played in 10 less games than Dak. So if you use their per game stats, Goff is better in YPG and TD per game.... so he's not better in every measurable way lmao hard to find ANY measurable way besides edging him out in INT ratio. (0.6 v. 0.8)

And before anyone starts with their crap, remember: Dak is better than Wentz and Goff in every measurable way. Better bulk and efficiency stats. More accolades. More wins/comebacks/etc. Better individual stats in the playoffs. 

Give me Wentz over Dak all day.

Is the trend really going up? Or were there a couple anomalies? Every few years you get a batch of really awesome rookies. I bet you could find a similar ~2 year stretch in the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.

 

This feels like 'living in the moment' to me.

They are tied in total yards, Dak wins in total TDs and Goff is way way behind when you include fumbles + INTs.

Going to disagree with you on this one. But only way to see is time.

Durability is a factor and Dak is extremely durable, no question.  However, if you were to build a franchise around your QB you would be smart to start with Wentz, then Dak, then Goff -- IMO

Part of the Cowboys problem is that Jones has paid Elliott, Jaylon Smith, and Demarcus Lawrence -- and they all played in 2019 like they got fat.

Just so you know, I despise this argument. Every QB in the world outside of like Brady/Manning missed the playoffs multiple times in their career. 

I don't blame Dak for missing the playoffs.  He is probably the least of their worries.  I blame The Clapper for your team's struggles.  He won't be a problem anymore.  My point was mainly questioning whether having Dak and a big salary would be better than a young, developing QB and a couple of key free agents.  It could make the difference between winning a Super Bowl in the next 4-5 years, but I am certainly no expert on this stuff.  I'm a typical armchair GM, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.  :)

I'll include Dak's rookie year since Matts would have a fit if I didn't.
