He was putting up MVP numbers before his injury and it was not close. Prescot in first 5 games before injury here we go. Prescot----Comp. 68% Yards 1856 9 TD Mahomes--Comp. 64% Yards 1705 10 TD Rodgers ---Comp. 76.9% Yards 1199 15 TD Prescot was in the conversation near or at top before injury for MVP. Naming top 5 QB in this league is hard its best done in tiers. All this info I am giving is subjective and crystal ball stuff right now.. but what Prescot did those first 5 games? crazy Iirc, Dallas with Dak was 2-3 before he got injured..., individual stats no matter how good mean nothing when the team you’re on has a losing record, that on top of missing the playoffs altogether the previous season says negative trend. Dak if nothing else has been shown to fall short repeatedly. Frankly as I stated in a previous post, I hope Jurra locks up a ton of cap annually for the next decade in Daks contract, that would be sweet, as it will restrict them from having a really good team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they moved off that or not. Bears apparently putting together a massive offer. If the price is three firsts I am not sure how much sense it makes for a team like Dallas who already have a lot of their dollars allocated on vet players. Would make them better instantly but how sustainable it would make them I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People really think like this? Like if the Bills went 2-3 and Allen was passing for 371 yards per game, you think he was the problem? That’s insane. Dak is far from a perfect qb but he is right around 10 and hardly the reason Dallas loses (and again his record is 42-27). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can that be offset by drafting really well in the lower rounds, so you have starters making rookie minimum-900K versus 3 or 4 million or more?

TheFunPolice Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I wonder if a 3 way trade happens: Wilson to Chicago for 3 1sts Dak to Seattle for 2 1sts Dallas gets 2 firsts for Dak Seattle gets Dak and a first for Wilson Chicago gets Wilson Then, Dallas turns to their friends across the state and send 4 1sts (2 of theirs, plus the 2 they got for Dak) to Houston for Watson. Houston ends up with 4 1st round picks from a variety of teams for Watson. Edited March 5, 2021 by TheFunPolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I want Mahomes money too. But I'd settle for vet minimum. When you start at $500 million over 10 years, the GM really thinks they won when they land on vet minimum. Its all about how you negotiate.

billsfan89 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Dak is not worth the second largest QB contract. He is worth a big QB contract, at least moderately more than Wentz got or close to what Wilson got. But he should not be approaching the 20% of the cap type deal Mahomes is getting that will put him close to 50 million aav. No way in hell is Dak that type of QB.

Nobody ever looked like they were having fun over there even when they were winning. And I don't recall any ex-pats returning after they left.... I hear you. I'm just saying that I'd rather him not be in our division. Whether it's the Pats, Fins, or Jets. I think he's a good QB.

But there are 3 indisputable facts: 1. Nothing is more important in the NFL than winning the Super Bowl. 2. You can't win a Super Bowl if you can't win in the playoffs. 3. It's impossible to win a Super Bowl if you do not make the playoffs. There is also a 4th 'fact' which has been almost always true with the exception of a few outliers: 4. The QB is very important and a major factor for any team that has won a Super Bowl. With that have been said, I choose to ultimately judge QBs based on look test and bottom-line results in the biggest of games. I find that to be more valid than look test accompanied by the sometimes frantic spinning and twisting of stats to justify what is believed to be seen. YMMV.
