2019 Dallas Cowboys season thread....

[12RingKing]

All of y’all saying cooper is a great WR, I’m not seeing it. He’s good, but not great... he doesn’t deserve top 5 money either.

But y’all have 5 offensive lineman who deserve to get paid, that’s for sure.

It could be contract terms and not the money amounts over the term. Guaranteed money is a big factor in today’s big contracts.

Exactly where I'm at. Let Dak play another year and prove it, pay Zeke now and lets get this team back on track.

Jerry can only save his rear end so many times.

They gave up a first round pick for him, he's getting signed.

I kinda see it a little different. They got a 1st round talent qb in the fourth round. So to me its a little bit of a wash.

They already have, part of the problem.

I have heard an interview where Dak said Jerry not being able to pay all three of them number one pay, and keep the team together, is not their problem. They don't give a **** about trying to win a Superbowl, do they? It's just "show me the money!" If they would agree to top 5 money, they would all have a good payday and possibly a Superbowl. Greed will wind up killing the team.

This is true. Throughout my working career I have seen many many employees stop producing once they get overpaid. At entry level they worked their butts of and then they get a big raise and start slacking. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the NFL.

3 pro bowls in 4 years is not too shabby especially if you spent 3 years with the idiotic Raiders.

Pro bowls don’t mean **** IMO. They passed over better WRs to put him in.

He’s never had a 100 reception season. He’s never had double digit TDs.

Who would you rather have? Amari Cooper, Stefon Diggs, Brandon Cooks.

ask that again at the end of the season.... He sure seemed to flourish with this team compared to the deadhead Raiders. A full year of offseason with Dak and his precision route running should be a good combination.

Wonder how many times I’m going to throw the remote this year when those balls go 2 yards behind his head when he comes out of his break on those precision routes?

All 3 guys need to go win a super bowl before they should get paid. go prove your worth it. What other profession does a guy get a raise before he proves he’s worth the salary?

I don’t see Dak being signed anytime soon, especially when he’s wanting $40 mil per year. Cowboys can franchise him next year around $25 mil and use that 10-15 mil on other needs. I bet Amari and Zeke get done pretty quick.

[Abcdj]

I like Dak. He will crumble under the pressure as a $40 mil QB!

Write it down here first. Lick it and stamp it!

Go Cowboys!

I hear ya.

Point being that both those players out performed Cooper last year and didn’t get a pro bowl nod.

Pro bowl selections don’t mean much. All-Pro selections mean much more IMO.

We’re sitting here talking about fixing the “wanna be” highest paid q.b. In nfl history......

I do not believe he asked for 40M either, and the problem with these Dak stats is that he has to have all of the supporting cast to achieve them, without them he would be very very mediocre, if he gets paid 35M a year some of these stars will be lost in the near future. I know you think Zeke is not worth it, just plug in another back, it just does not work that way, Zeke is like 65 % of the offense. Just listen to all the players and coaches, the running game is a vital part of having a great team, the reason some of these other QB's do not need a great back is because they are great QB's, not even close to average. I hope Dak gets a contract that they both can live with, if not then I would go the Kirk Cousin's route, franchise him for two more years, it would only cost the Cowboys 65-70M for 3 years of service, draft another QB next year and try and develop him.

3-3 while he was suspended for being an idiot...Alfred Morris had better YPC.

He’s really good...he’s also really replaceable.

Honestly, at Dak's asking price so is he. How can we play a borderline top 15 QB anywhere close to even $35m a year? I don't think he signs for anything other then the top avg/year and IMO he isn't worth it for the level of play hes given us. Let him play this year out, then franchise him next year for anything over the 30m they already offered. That gives us time to see if he can make that next jump, but we better figure out quick if White or Rush has the talent or we need to start groming another one.

1st, whatever contract he signs is going to seem absurdly high at the beginning, and will be cheap by the end. That’s just the nature of qb contracts, at least for the time being.

2nd, The franchise tag will be over 30 mil next year.

Rush, nor White can play.

Where do you propose they get the next guy? To draft one you have to get to the top of the first, and those guys are about a 1 in 3 chance of improving over Dak. See Rosen, Wentz, etc. 2nd round and later QBs are about a 1-10 proposition...that’s a guess but I bet it’s close.

Look at all the teams in the NFL who have swapped quarterbacks every 3-4 years for decades...I don’t want to be there.

I’m good with this route. Make him prove it. Pay him later if he does. The salary cap will be much larger in 2-3 years as well.

X2 I’d be searching hard for a replacement during this window wether via draft or another avenue.

If Dak plays out the year without a new deal, is he a RFA?

No, but the Cowboys can franchise him for up to 3 or they can use the Transitional tag on him next year, not sure what that does for him or the team.

No, he would unrestricted free agent, but Dallas isn't letting him go anywhere. Franchise tag for QB is around $25m. Makes sense to tag him at least one more year without an heir apparent in the pipeline. He is an idiot if he doesn't sign before the season though, hes playing for $2m this year, if he lets that $28m go this season he will never make it back up.

This has to be on Jerry’s mind. Zeke is a great player but the value isn’t there with an all time great OLine.

Much better value in free agency for 1/10 the price.

Yes, I believe they have the 5th year option. But, maybe not. They do have the tag though.

I believe Dak plays, and JJ knows that. He’s not priority to them. I believe they make him earn his 35M a year this year. If he gets to the NFC championship game, he gets 35.

No 5th year option.

I know exactly where he was drafted, and it was pure luck, the guy they wanted went early that day.

I think 34 would do it right now, and 32 and change will be where they land about week 2.

I’m not sold on the guy, but if he hits FA tomorrow he gets 30+

Man hard to see dak doing much better in Denver, but yes they seemed to have gotten a blessing from an unanswered prayer.

[mikemorvan]

Not so much worried about what D. Prescott would've done in Denver. I don't think Paxton Lynch would be good in any NFL city. Just my amateur thoughts.

[Dale Moser]

What about Wentz?

Worse numbers with a team that won the super bowl with Nick Foles at the helm, and already injury prone....where was he drafted?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[mjhaverkamp]

Dak will not hit the free agent market but if he did he would struggle to get 28 M. They are throwing all those numbers out there, take a look at his numbers without Zeke and Cooper, they are embarrassing, in other words he cannot be a good QB without them. He did not even get voted into the top 100 by his peers and he is a very popular player, that should tell you something. I hope like hell he proves me wrong, I don't think he could carry any of the top 10 QB's jock strap without the team he has around him. Let him play out his contract, Cowboys have nothing to lose but a few million, Dak has everything to lose or to gain, COWBOY UP !

[bowmansdad]

Dak isn’t worth 40 that’s for sure, either franchise him next year or sign him to a contract with a nice base, say $25mil and load it with incentives, let him earn it! Zeke is good but not worth big money, he can be replaced for way less money. I think Cooper is a stud and deserves to be paid. Just my $.02.
I’ll go back to cursing the Texans as they continue to screw the pooch! They’re looking at .500 at best!

[Bear Charge]

Dak is worth $15 mil at most. Can't believe they offered 40.

You mean the team without his all pro center, a rookie undersized Connor Williams all last year, and without Tyron Smith for a good stretch of 2017?

Look up the sacks given up by the o-line last year. Some are on Dak, not most. That’ll boost your running backs carries! I know...I know...


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Dale Moser]

I have more faith than y’all do in Dak, and I don’t like, or believe in Zeke...long term. That’s just where we are.

I’ll own it if I’m proved wrong.

I’ll just say this...don’t pay attention to what other players say, pay attention to what comparable players are getting payed, and how those contracts age at their respective positions.

Replacement value tells the tale.

Not all the sacks were on Dak, but way too many were. The guy just doesn’t see the field and hangs onto the ball way too long with open guys.

The only way we’re going to see Zekes value is for him to just not be there. This ‘one of the greatest offensive line of all time’ talk is stuff from 3 years ago. There have been weakness’s in that line the last couple of years.
