Oh a ton of people on this board said wait, make him prove it. A ton more said franchise him, make him prove it again.I’ll bet if we looked back, there were a lot of guys on this board that didn’t want to sign him then. Wanted him to prove it first.
And now those same people are bitching that we didn’t lock him up sooner. That we were stupid to wait, because all it did was drive up the price.Oh a ton of people on this board said wait, make him prove it. A ton more said franchise him, make him prove it again.
Yeah I was one who wanted it done last offseason. Above Zeke's contract and Amari's but I was definitely in the minority.And now those same people are bitching that we didn’t lock him up sooner. That we were stupid to wait, because all it did was drive up the price.
Can’t win for losing. No different than the people who cry about Trump not doing anything over Corona, then wail and gnash their teeth when he does.
You weren't the only one.Yeah I was one who wanted it done last offseason. Above Zeke's contract and Amari's but I was definitely in the minority.
Exactly. They wait and now they are in a pickle. There was an article in February that they hadnt talked to Dak since September. Even if you wait for the season they still blew a month and a half.Nobody was giving two 1's for Lawrence.
The problem is that these guys don't plan ahead, they push everything to the limit thinking that "deadlines will make deals" and ultimately they're just boxing themselves in. The way to not letting these guys hold you over a barrel is by bringing in replacements a year earlier and developing an exit strategy, these guys never have an exit strategy.
The point was that I believe that he too could've succeeded big and accomplished a lot of the same things that another QB who is both considered a HOF and was similar in play style was able to accomplish.
It's a compliment to Romo.
But I can't consider them equals if Ben actually did accomplish those things and Romo didn't.
It just might be a message that Dak should entertain another offer on the GMs terms or a for sale sign goes up down the road if the winning percentage drops below a certain level. Either Dak or his agent or both are not reading the operating method of Jones currently about what happens when he did not wrap up a contract deal with Garrett and pulled the plug when time ran out because of the winning percentage. It appears Jones isn’t ready to accommodate a player or coach now until they fulfill his criteria. Jones has now put his plan out there first and displayed what happens if the party doesn’t deliver. The ball is now in Daks court.So...is this more of a financial move? Or a sign that they don't want him long term?
I don't know, to be honest I haven't thought about it because I know the Joneses would never do it anyway. I know there aren't many decent options out there, though.Then who would be your preference? If Rivers would command $25M, would you go for Jameis Winston/Mariota for less? Would you trade for Nick Foles? Or roll with Cooper Rush?
Yeah I don't think there any real QB solutions. Your best hope is Brady and draft one of these QBs. Maybe McCarthy could groom a Jordan Love or something.I don't know, to be honest I haven't thought about it because I know the Joneses would never do it anyway.

Bingo!they are literal morons.
Because they have said all offseason they want to have the flexibility to keep their own guys or sign others, etc.Seriously, every other QB is getting a 4 year deal. Why does Dallas care that much about 1 more year?
No fucking shit.If the only holdup to getting it done is 4 years vs. 5 then they are literal morons.
I think they want more flexibility to restructure the deal and increase his bonus amortization divisor +1.Because they have said all offseason they want to have the flexibility to keep their own guys or sign others, etc.
So they're probably obsessing over the extra 5 to 10 million per year season and how it would affect their cap for each respective season.
