BillsFan17 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Let it not be forgotten that Carr was also handsomely paid once upon a time. Its how the market works sometimes. The evil you know is better than the one you dont, and even marginal QBs seem attractive to franchises because it's better than not having one at all...

With all the attention Dallas garners, Dak is going to be scrutinized even more with a big fat contract. The fans and media will rip him if they aren't winning, and I would imagine that he'll never live up to the contract and eventually Dallas will move on realizing it was a big mistake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but now the Raiders are trying to get out of Carr’s contract and are trying to rid him 6 minutes ago, BeastMaster said: With all the attention Dallas garners, Dak is going to be scrutinized even more with a big fat contract.

Rumor is they’re going to tag him and trade him.

GunnerBill Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Pay the man. Dak is better than people think he is. He had an excellent season. Pay. The. Man. Yes it will be the biggest contract now but only until the next one people just have to get over that. If Josh takes another step forward and the Bills want to keep him they will have to pay him if not the biggest QB contract ever then the 2nd or 3rd biggest. It is just the way it is. Anyone good enough to pay re-sets the market. Derek Carr, Matt Stafford, Jimmy G (after 8 career starts), Kirk Cousins and now Dak (who I'd have in the top 2 of that group). It is just the NFL. What is the alternative? Don't pay Dak and sign an ancient Philip Rivers or an inferior player in Bridgewater? Maybe they should trade for Tyrod? If you want top 15 QB player then the point at which you pay your guy he will have top 3 money. That is the fact. Derek Carr signed a 5 year contract 3 years ago that was the most expensive QB deal ever. He is now only the 10th highest average per year and by the time next season starts I suspect he will be more like 14th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it mattered most, he failed to deliver...all while having an all world line, RB, and good receiving options. He's not underrated at all. Many can see through the empty stats and don't believe he's the guy because he just hasn't shown it. I'd bet anything that Dallas will regret this within three years and will be looking to move on/get out of the deal if it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak Prescott is 40-24 in his career with 14 GWDs in his first 3 seasons. What are you even talking about? Furthermore, when has a good team EVER let a franchise QB walk and had success? Basically, if they have a HoF QB backing him up. That's it. This "they will regret this deal" nonsense is and always has been garbage. You pay QBs who have demonstrated they can play at a high level. period. You do not let them walk for nothing and start over. Are there downsides to paying a QB big money? Obviously. But the Bills and Browns were two of the worst teams in the NFL for DECADES and it wasn't because they were paying a premium for lower end franchise QB. It was because they didn't have a QB worth a damn on the roster. Edited March 8, 2020 by BringBackOrton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Simple logic for me on this one. He isn’t good enough to carry an offense. I’m not making him the highest paid player on the team nevermind the league. I understand QBs being overpaid but just because other teams are doing it doesn’t mean you have to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They scored 9 against NE and Philly, 10 against the Saints and 15 against the Bills. All of those were playoff teams. He needs to improve, it’s hard to justify making him the highest paid player in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was because they didn't have a QB worth a damn on the roster. Again...the guy had arguably the best RB and Oline in the league making his.job easy. When did I say let him walk? They have options. They can franchise him and trade him to a team that believes he's the guy like some of you do. I know Dallas fans that don't think he's worth it and would gladly move on if someone else wants to pay him what he wants and compensate them. And lastly...it seems your overall point is just pay the guy cause he's a decent player. As if Bills fans or any team let alone Dallas will be content with being a 500 team that can't beat the better teams in the league while being paid as a premier player. You would have probably wanted to roll with Tyrod and pay him 30 mil too. Loser mentality to the max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
