Sure for 1 season wentz played better. Another reason dak is better is because he’s stayed healthy. 22 minutes ago, jetstream23 said: I would have thrown for 2,850 behind that OLine, faking handoffs to Ezekiel Elliott and chucking it towards Amari Cooper or Michael Gallup. Why are we hating on a guy who’s team built if for him? We here always talk about how much better Sam would be if we give him more weapons and an o-line.

Incredible draft and this gives them serious leverage with Dak. If he threatens not to play then he just risks losing the starting job altogether. It’d be hysterical if Jerry dumps Dak, starts Dalton for a year, then trades for Aaron Rodgers next offseason.

Prez33 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Cowboys have a very nice backup QB. Something not to be overlooked. Dalton won a lot of games with the Bengals. He’s struggled in getting them over the hump in the post season, but Dallas is loaded on offense. Dalton will tear it up with that offense if he gets in.

PS17 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The NFL needs to do something about the salary cap. It shouldn’t be a death sentence to your team’s chances of winning just because you sign a slightly above average quarterback to a second contract.

And there are no other QBs in the division And this is a problem why? Is a QB being surrounded by weapons not a good thing? 90% of this board would kill to give Darnold the weapons Dak has. And if Sam threw for almost 5K yards with 30 TDs and only 11 INTs, we'd be ready to crown him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sperm Edwards Posted May 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 8 hours ago, T0mShane said: I think Dak is better than Goff, but you’d think every team sees what giving Goff that monster deal has done to that Rams team and they don’t want to be in that boat Hard to say how good Goff is. When the team was better the credit was given to Gurley. When Gurley was injured and the OL played on par with the 2019 Jets, as they did last year, he looked like half the QB he was. Even with that, his 2 non-Cooks WRs were catching passes at 65 and 70% and Higbee at 78%. That doesn’t happen if the passes aren’t right there and catchable. We’ll see what their new RB does at this level b/c their line still sucks and $40MM of their cap charges this year are for Gurley and Cooks to play elsewhere. That’s going to hurt far more than whatever $ they paid too much for Goff. Ultimately I think Goff’s a good enough QB, in that if you have a solid enough team you can get far with him (even to the SB in the right conditions). But aside from a random great game here & there - which he does have - he isn’t often going to carry the team like the best of the best. I’d include Dalton of 5+ years ago in that category, though probowl nods aside I think he was always a notch below Dak & Goff who, despite probably being overrated, do each have a bit of an x-factor Dalton didn’t. It’s hard to say what $ that’s worth in today’s football economy, but I think what happened to some degree this past FA period is teams are wising up to the inevitable (if not necessary evil) costs of QBs - even a Goff/Dak QB, not just the most elite - and we saw meh FAs who are still legit starters didn’t find teams overpaying 3-5 year contracts by 50% just to fill a hole like in the past. Also other premium positions have seen a ceiling of sorts (look at CB; the $14-16MM threshold had been reached a decade ago and, while few more make in this range, the top players at this position still haven’t raised that bar any higher); teams seeing that a $22MM corner - analogous to a $16MM corner several years ago - would be just too much as part of a whole position spend, since a weak link or two in days of 3 WRs plus a WR-like TE can easily negate the effect of a team’s ultra-elite CB1. I’d also just note that it’s jetsy awesome that we paid more for Josh McCown, under a lower cap, than Dallas is paying for Dalton. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak is an idiot for not taking whatever Jones guaranteed, even if it was a bit under whatever the biggest contract was at the time. I think Dak threw away a lot of money. But I guess he and his agent know more than me... so good luck to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Just now, heymangold said: that was 5 years ago.... Which was the last time he had a good team. It’s not like he’s been exceptionally bad since either. 64-31 TD to INT in the three following seasons. On mediocre teams Last year he was on a team actively trying to lose and was still serviceable - In as bad a spot as Sam if not worse. If anything Dalton’s career is a perfect illustration of the difference a QB’s situation makes. He’s 31. It’s not like he’s physically declined. Could easily have another 3-4 good years.

A lot of guys here have a hard time giving credit to other team's QB's. Especially the younger ones. I think they're afraid that if they do, it will be a knock on our guy. The only one they give credit is Mahomes and they even qualify that by saying Darnold would be just as good in that offense. According to them, every QB in the league under 30 pales in comparison to our redhead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s going to hurt far more than whatever $ they paid too much for Goff. I think the Goff and Dak situation is analogous because of these reasons and should perhaps serve as a cautionary tale for teams signing young QBs to Russell Wilson money. Goff, by every statistical measure, was a middling-to-lower half QB this year, and much of that is attributable to the downturn of Gurley, which also impacted the OL. Teams get stuck handing out massive contracts to QBs and have to cut corners everywhere else, and that expensive QB suffers for it. The Seahawks just cut their offensive line this year and replaced them with Brandon Shell. I’ve said forever that the league should allow you to exempt one QB salary from counting against the cap, because it’s a drag watching teams have the promising young superstar QB get killed behind a pack of bargain-bin interior OL because they can’t afford to hold on to talent. Jerry can sign Dak, but then he’s got a, maybe, two year window before he has to take an axe to every other position group to accommodate that salary...and only then do you get to see how talented Dak really is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
