So.......who's the QB if not Prescott? Some retread, or do we think we get lucky again in the draft?

You do realize that Wentz, Goff and others got deals, right?

Are you one of those people who blame agents?

And in reference to the Elliott deal, I am damn sure bringing that up if I am Todd France.

Looks like Wentz and Goff will be stupid moves as well. Elliot deal is looking shaky as well. So what’s your point?

If they can't get Prescott signed long-term they had better do everything they can to trade him and make a move for Wilson.

Pay Wilson pretty much the same money Dak wants AND give up draft picks for him?

No thanks.

The assumption is that Prescott turns down roughly 38-40/year, or they can't get him signed at that amount for whatever reason. If he plays out the season on the tag he is very likely gone next year unless they break the bank and pay him even more than they already would have to right now.

If they played it right I'm sure they could trade Dak to a QB-needy team for at least a first and change, and then turn around and flip that and a few more picks for Wilson, who is controlled for 3 more years and is a better QB in the first place.

You get slightly better at QB and lose the picks you need to fix the rest of the roster. Seems like you end up like the Seahawks are now. Shitty roster with a great QB.

Yep. The net gain isn’t big enough.

Age and draft picks for a small uptick in talent? No thanks. Wilson may be better, but I don’t think the difference is enough for what we’d give up.

Our Cowboys offer

What can you offer in a trade? It seems more likely that the Cowboys would just sign their own franchise quarterback, Dak Prescott, to a contract extension. But if they were interested in a trade for Wilson, they would probably be including Prescott. In that scenario, Prescott would have to be on board with going to Seattle, because he would have to sign a franchise-tag tender. Seattle would then be looking to sign him to a long-term deal that would make him one of the NFL’s highest-paid players. The Cowboys could also include the 10th overall pick in this year’s draft and a third-rounder next year. If the draft compensation is not enough, a different deal could potentially include wide receiver Michael Gallup, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Gallup is a 1,000-yard receiver who has developed a good rapport with Prescott.

Oh, look. Chris Broussard on Fox Sports Radio is discussing Dak’s lack of wins and empty calorie stats RIGHT NOW.

But hey, they never talk about his losses and empty stats.

Oh, and they just mentioned his 6-20 record against teams with winning records.

Do the stats actually bear that out or is it just another dumb shit talking out of his ass as usual?

Because the stats posted above and my own eyeballs tell a different story.

Sorry but Chris frigging Broussard doesn't move the needle for me. These network talking heads are beyond worthless for the most part.

As for his record against winning teams, that's a legit concern. I'd argue that fixing the defense and coaching will go a long way towards rectifying that, but the jury is still out on that.

Whether you or anyone else value or don’t value the opinions of the hosts, I was pointing out the regularity and the content of them talking about it since people seemed to have selective memories on it.

Remember when John Elway used to be called overrated and only had “empty” stats? That he couldn’t win the big game?

Funny what happened when he finally got a supporting cast and didn’t have to drag a bunch of mediocre players along with him.

And, no. I am not saying Elway and Prescott are comparable players. Only that their situations are similar.

Elway never had to contend with the Red Headed Albatross, though.

Elway dragged those “mediocre players” to THREE SUPER BOWLS.

Don’t ever compare Dak Prescott to John Elway again. Ever.

But the whole point of bringing pundits into the discussion is if they can substantiate your assertion that Dak is a mediocre player with empty stats.

The stats say otherwise so proving your thesis is an uphill climb.

But if (to use some of your own examples) Charlie Weiss or Troy Aikman or Ryan Clark actually analyzed film and came to a conclusion in either direction, I'd certainly take that seriously.

A talking head parroting a false and disproven lazy narrative means less than zero to me.
