Cowboys sign Prescott to a 4 year contract

[Rev]

I don't like that idea.

The concept of "build around" a QB is not something this franchise is equipped to do, even if you factor in the bust factor of a 1st round QB.

This front office is not a build anything. They have to be handed the perfect team.

Let's recap those days...

Aikman's last year (2000) we had Randall Cunningham and Anthony Wright as our backups

2001 we had Quincy Carter, Ryan Leaf, Clint Stoerner and Anthony Wright

2002 we had Chad Hutchison and Quincy Carter

2003 we had Quincy Carter (what a brutal year this was)

2004 we had Drew Bledsoe and Vinny T

2005 we had Drew Bledsoe

2006 we saw Tony Romo for the first time after Bledsoe was benched by Parcells


Yeah, it was without a doubt QB hell, and a place I never want to revisit. Fucking sign Dak already.

I aged 5 years reading that. Hard to believe the shitbirds that came through here between Troy and Tony. Stoerner.. someone needed to be kicked in the nuts...

And stay the fuck out of the way.

Unfortunately that didn’t happen in 2007 when they were handed a pretty damned good team.

They hired an OC to undermine a puppet head coach and created a total circus atmosphere.

Parcells gets that 2007 team to a Super Bowl.
I believe Jerry signed T.O. in spite of Parcells not wanting him and that seemed to be the nail in the coffin in 2006, IIRC.

We’re built around a has been running back anywho

However even Parcells recognized Owens as elite. Without Owens, that team was not a contender as the last game in Washington and second half the game before vs Carolina clearly demonstrated.

Owens had blown games wide open for us all year, but the nagging injuries like his broken hand and finally his HAS finally caught up to him, and us.

When he came back in the playoffs, he was a shadow of himself playing on a bum leg.

There was a time that was true, but I don't think it is anymore. We aren't built around Zeke anymore. We're built around three WRs and a QB.

We are built around Elliott in terms of payroll.

Initially I thought it was Fisher floating this dumb idea but I see that it's actually Florio.

Dak signs the FT, then it’s 50% he’s not a Cowboy in 2022. Barring a mid season miracle, Dak would hit FA after the season.

It would have to happen sooner than mid season. New deals for Franchise Tag players has a deadline prior to season start.

If Dak actually signs the FT, it 99% means we would not have made any progress-- just like last year. Last year he signed it in June.

I don't think he's coming back if we tag him again. And unlike Detroit and Philly, we'd risk losing him for nothing in return.

It's the worst possible move to tag him again.

But these stupid fuckers are determined to string Dak along until the last possible moment, and so are Dak's agents apparently.

A deal could get done just like that if they really wanted it.

A second consecutive franchise tag all but erases any chance of an impact free agent because we have to clear up 37 million in cap space and it also at least 50% (maybe closer to 75%) boots Dak out the door.

A mid-season miracle re-signing would be severely overpriced relative to signing him in the next few weeks. After the season, there's no reason for him to sign with Dallas when full blown FA awaits him in 2022.

Why is it the worst possible time to tag Prescott? They could make an agreement that if he performed to certain criteria then then he would get a contract that both sides had agree to before the season starts. The time of the tag could be as short as the first 4 games of the season to show proof of physical suitability with the ankle and overall performance as a franchise QB.
