2019-2020 NFL Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Football • Page 788

Preppy actually looked up the number and I overestimated it. He’s actually getting $22M a year. Dak REJECTED $30M a year.

Foles at $22 >>>> Dak at $32

 

That is precisely my point.

 

I wouldn’t sign either one for more than $28M to be honest. Neither one is good enough to be considered irreplaceable

 

Case by case basis. I don’t always agree.

 

Any QB that is arguably not top ten that is demanding top five money can go suck an egg.

 

sorry joe

 

I mean, Bortles at like $17mil/yr was kind of genius...unfortunately he was Bortles in the end.

But yeah, Id take the risk of franchising Dak and make him actually make the jump before Id hand him like 5/150/90+. Its not like the difference between a deal today and a deal in 6 months is gonna be more than like 5%

edit: And year 4 is where Russell Wilson made his jump from good QB whose running game carried him to legit franchise guy...adding 10TDs and another 700+ yards. If Dak does that, you pay him whatever. If he doesnt, you trade him for a haul to like Oakland and draft another mid-round guy

 

I’d still argue that pre-leap Russell Wilson already had elite pocket presence & elusiveness and well above average accuracy & touch. Even with the lower stats he was certainly a more dangerous player and more of a sure bet than Dak right now. Those are rare skills that you pay no matter what imo.

 

Be that as it may, I think you could argue that your DL, OL, TE, and running game were all top three. As well as having above average WR’s and coaching.

 

Wasn't their OL riddled with injuries that year?

 

I believe they had one guy missing (correct me if I’m wrong) but what matters is the results of them playing and whoever they had out there were playing like the best line in the league.

 

Someone rename this thread the Dak salary thread

 

I just drove to Austin and back, a nice reminder that Waco is trash and 35 is trash

 

I feel like there is a more efficient way of remembering that Waco is trash.

 

Yeah it was, but they also had insane depth.

 

Oh yeah absolutely. I low-key want the Jags to get your back-up tackle. Vaitai i think. The dude that filled in for Peters, Johnson, and Brooks.

 

Big V must’ve discovered a genie because I remember him being a liability and then turned into a fantastic player. Haha

 

Josh Wells is our starter at left tackle right now. I'll take YOU at tackle at this point.

 

Oh...my...god...

 

I want him to. I love Dak. And he wouldn't be getting this much hate if he wasn't on the Cowboys.

I wish he was on the Jaguars so badly. I wanted to draft him. I hate that we didn't.

 

Isn't that dude like... bad?

 

He would be below average on the jags tho, just be happy for him dammit

 

Lol I do feel bad sometimes that it’s ALWAYS him that is in my crosshairs, because I doubt he’s a bad dude, but for him to be a top 5qb means the nfl must have recreated the QB club video game, flew all the actual good qbs out to Hawaii before a horrific plane crash took all their lives.

 

Yes. Dinosaur Dish is bad.

 

Dude I fucking love that game. I still have it on gamecube. Everybody fly to Atlanta and play it.
