“Mediocre Quarterback on Superstar Quarterback Money”. Nick still hasn’t forgiven Dak for making Nick call him the MVP all season…

[@skillethead15]

I mean he was literally second team all pro. So the second best QB. I just hope Dak goes to another team and actually does really well in the playoffs so we can finally stop blaming the players in Dallas and blame the real problem. Jerry Jones and the clown show he puts around his team every year. Romo had the same issues as Dak. The next QB they bring in is going to have the exact same problems. Dallas has a culture issue. A culture of underachievement.

@@skillethead15Dak sucks he is under no circumstance an elite qb. He’s OKAY at best. Not a prolific passer, can’t throw anyone open. Have you seen him connect on a deep throw in the last 3 years? If you give Dallas a truly elite quarterback, last year‘s roster would have made at least the NFC championship game, probably would’ve gotten Dallas to the Super Bowl. Guy has a 30 quarterback rating in the first half versus Green Bay, was the biggest part of digging that hole and you guys think we should keep him lol.

[@andresparry8104]

@@skillethead15 I agree, it’s just fun to watch Nick’s troubled relationship with nuance. Dak is above average, which by definition is not mediocre. That being said, I think the pay of anyone player should not exceed a certain percentage of the salary cap. Football contracts need a more robust middle class rather than allocating vast sums to every solid QB. It breeds unrealistic expectations and resent when those expectations aren’t met.

[@skillethead15]

@@MaximusR93 “Ok” players don’t get voted second team all pro. Guess who led the league in TD passes? Dak Prescott. “OK” players also don’t do that. He’s more than “OKAY”. He’s a good QB in a clown show of an organization. And that elite roster you are talking about gave up 48 points to Jordan Love…. Dak’s situation is Literally just like Stafford in Detroit. Detroit was a circus so Stafford never even won a playoff game. He goes to LA and immediately wins a Super Bowl. Dak could do the same thing. The Dallas Cowboys are a literal rodeo and it shows out on the field. I hope the Cowboys let him walk so we can see it. Jerry Jones has sabotaged the Cowboys for 30 years with his stubborn bravado.

Dak shouldn't be taking less. Dallas is a winning organization for sure but a championship one? No. That's not their priority. If Dak wants to a championship, he'll have to go somewhere were they don't set him up with laughable situations. Like having Garrett and then Mike as your HC. Like Wildes said, Dallas pro bowl QBs do just fine post Dallas playing career. He can go to the Titans, Seattle or even Pittsburgh still be as good. Nick is jaded now with Dak/Dallas so now he wants to say he's mediocre. He's been better than Trevor, Stafford and Herbert over the past 2 seasons so that's far from it. He was the Dallas offense last year and that makes him borderline elite at least

[@HoneyBadgerKing]

Well Stafford is way older than him and has been having injuries... And Herbert suffers from being in the same division as Mahomes... if dak was in that division he'd be a nobody

[@user-gy3gu3ep3p]

Here’s a good counter for JJ McCarthy, the reason they didn’t win the natty in 22 was because they lost to TCU in the semis because McCarthy threw two pick 6s

[@michaelbrandon9791]

A few other things contributed to Michigan's loss to TCU, but sure blame JJ. Nevermind the fact that the defense gave up 37 points or the fact that Michigan had a TD catch overturned but let's talk about JJ for a second here because all everyone wants to talk about is how he never had to air it out or that Michigan is run heavy. Against TCU JJ attempted 34 passes for 343 yards and rushed for another 52 yards. Nearly 400 total yards. Yes he threw two interceptions which both resulted in defensive touchdowns (a result of which is a probability anomaly). A fluck or worse case scenario which ultimately lead to a loss. His only loss as a starter by the way. So let's entertain the alternative in which his two interceptions didn't result in any points and only a turnover of downs. Does TCUs offense capitalize on those possessions and score 14? Who knows, and that's not the point. This season Sanders, Williams, Daniels, Davis also accumulated multiple 400 yard games and also lost yet they're praised as more talented and explosive when in reality the thing they all have in common is that they're losers. JJ was a loser in his game against TCU and it was also his highest yardage performance and it was clear that while JJ was capable of putting up numbers, it doesn't win games.

I am really stunned you guys did not bring up Trey Lance as a possible reason why Jerry might let Dak walk. I would not be surprised if Jerry thinks he has Dak's replacement in the building already. Seriously, Jerry can low ball Lance on a 2 year 'prove it' contract and at worse use him as a bridge QB. Dak was a 4th round pick, Trey cost him a 4th round pick. Jerry was super happy getting Trey, so Dallas seems to really value him. Plus, Trey is only 23 (24 in May), so he is super young and was the #3 pick over all... Jerry might feel everything that happened to him in San Fran was due to maturity and just starting to soon. He will have two years to sit behind Dak to learn, grow, and mature. Is Trey worth it? I don't know, but it does seem to be a valid possibility to me and at least worthy of discussion as a possibility.

It does if you follow a salary cap.

[@trailblazer.911]

@@damnsonwtf I know it means something for the team. But I was talking about Dak, like what's the big deal if you make 52M vs 60M. My God they should feel blessed to make that much, not be worried about another 6-7M when you already making 50M+ per year

[@SkipmodeCraneGang]

The ravens just did that with Lamar Jackson last off-season wtf u talking about nick??? 😅😅 and he's even better then Dakota and was tested to the free agent market

[@zakman6471]

Yes!! Drum roll is kind of back

[@dcyungin202]

Nick does kno Honey badger was developed waaayyyy before he got to KC😂😂

[@djbolt1210]

Feeling like the cowboys might make a move for Sanders in the draft next year

[@dancorn3422]

Lord Farquar look isn’t the wright one my guy !

[@John_TalksGiants]

Jerry letting Dak hit FA would be another stupid decision he’s made regarding Dak and his contract. If he would’ve just paid Dak earlier like most teams do with franchise players, then dak wouldn’t be so petty about a discount considering he was a 4th round pick making nothing compared to other qbs playing at the level he does. He has improved a lot and now carry’s that slighting with him and will do Jerry no favors. That being said, if you let him FA and expect him back, your fools. He’ll be paid handsomely by someone else and you’ll be hoping Trey Lance is the guy.

[@Fazzee45]

Does it matter if he can never get your team a ring? Cut your losses and let him throw ints for snother team.

[@AdmiralTiberius]

​@@Fazzee45 Exactly !!! Fk Dak!!!!! - RandomCowboysFan😢

[@jctslice]

​@@Fazzee45 but the problem is you don't want another Matthew Stafford situation where you move on from a good QB & he goes somewhere else to win. Him winning confirmed that it was Detroit, not him in why he didn't win. If you move on from Dak and he goes to the right team and gets it done, Dallas folks will get sick to their stomaches

[@theetrevorshealy]

Nick lookin slick with the trim.

[@theetrevorshealy]

No diddy…😂

[@theetrevorshealy]

I hate this new word btw

[@boxerboy860]

You already know Prime had a convo with Jerry about his son for 2025 😂 I wouldn’t be surprised if they draft Shadeur

[@dondannel8608]

I hope we we wont forget this hesitancy to pay DAk. Lets see Cowboys stay consistent. DAK should not settle for less than market value. I would test free Agency. Go where you appreciated and wanted.

[@anthonythanghe4755]

17:09 five whole seconds of blank acceptance of the Pats likely pick. Lol

[@leepauyo8861]

What does that mean?

[@beastmode3799]

Nick still trying to convince himself that Trevor is getting an extension lmao

[@shaquillebrown1339]

been saying this for years not sold on Dak!

[@Trondiggy]

And this morning it comes out the Commanders are interested in JJ

[@rasserfrasser]

If this is the situation the Cowboys should've used more foresight to trade him earlier rather than risk/suffer going to the top of the draft market.

[@409Ripper]

What's more important keeping Dak or losing one or 2 or all Parsons,Lamb,Martin ??? Is Dak worth losing any of them? I don't think so .

[@delrickturner6309]

Before Sneed it was Ward, now it's McDuffie

[@MrDavidknigge]

They're going to pay McDuffie.
