Unless there is no one better. It's a lot easier to get better at WR than it is at QB. There are simply not enough grade-A QB prospects coming out of college every year to stock 32 NFL teams. For every hot-shit draft pick that turns into a good QB, four or five others fall flat or meander along in mediocre land."Team friendly." That's what the usual suspects crowed when Terrance Williams signed his extension. The idea is to get better, not sign average players for a bargain.
Bigger picture, maybe next year we have real injury problems like the Skins and Eagles this year and get that pick high enough to draft a better guy.Dak may not be the guy, but it's hard to see who else there is on the horizon for a team with no #1 pick, or no pick high enough for the foreseeable future.
What an utterly defeatist attitude. "We can't do any better than you, so here's $75 million." The Pats have Brady but did their homework and unearthed Garoppolo, yet for us that's somehow mission impossible. We have a year to play with. We don't have to pay him anytime soon. He's the 4th best QB in the division. Every other NFC team either has an older savvy vet better than him or a young hotshot better than him. Only Tampa Bay has a worse starting QB. Very few quality teams would accept that or reward him.Unless there is no one better. It's a lot easier to get better at WR than it is at QB.

Of the top shelf QBs, Brees and Brady will soon be gone. It's not like NE or NO can reach down into a shopping bag and pull out another star QB.

Lol you'd take Eli over him? GTFOWhat an utterly defeatist attitude. "We can't do any better than you, so here's $75 million."

Is he better than Dak right now? Absolutely. The only thing Dak does better is run. Manning is immobile but has a better arm, deep ball, and can read defenses.Lol you'd take Eli over him? GTFO
Pretty much this.Any conversation about Dak's short or long term prospects has to take into account how long Garrett (and/or Linehan) are going to be around. I believe any QB in Dallas is doomed to mediocrity with Garrett and his offensive scheme in place.
You're high if you think Eli is better. Dak is better then Alex Smith has been this year as well.Is he better than Dak right now? Absolutely. The only thing Dak does better is run. Manning is immobile but has a better arm, deep ball, and can read defenses.
Smith took the Chiefs to the playoffs last year and was doing the same for the Skins before he got hurt. Eli would get sacked a lot behind our line, but hey, so does Dak -- who leaves a lot of yards and potential TDs on the field.You're high if you think Eli is better. Dak is better then Alex Smith has been this year as well.
Shit, just look at recent win loss records and Dak is clearly better.
Alex Smith sports a 85 QB rating this year. Lower completion percentage, lower yards per pass attempt, less yards, and less TDs. He is literally worse across the board this season.Smith took the Chiefs to the playoffs last year and was doing the same for the Skins before he got hurt.

I didn't mean to imply paying a mediocre QB $75 million, that they should just "settle" for Dak and fork over the dough no matter what. Not my point at all. Not even sure they should re-up him if he's not worth it.What an utterly defeatist attitude. "We can't do any better than you, so here's $75 million."

that's why hes ridin with Dak. This is his last rodeo, and he thinks Dak is good enough to get wherever Jerry thinks this team is going. I think we're stuck with Dak.Suddenly the fuck-up in chief is going to pull some miracle QB out of his wrinkled old ass?
Almost every NFC team has a better QB than Dak. They acquired them via miracles? If Jerry could see that the status quo wasn't working at wideout, why should QB be any different?I didn't mean to imply paying a mediocre QB $75 million, that they should just "settle" for Dak and fork over the dough no matter what.

I'm just saying quality QBs don't grow on trees. For however many savvy vets or young hotshots there are in the NFC there sure are a lot of really average teams out there.
Yes, the Pats found Garoppolo but that's the Pats -- not Jerry. As far as the defeatist attitude, check the record. Ain't been nothin' but defeats with Jerry at helm for the last 20-plus years. Suddenly the fuck-up in chief is going to pull some miracle QB out of his wrinkled old ass?
Just a fucking awful, amateur throw.
Nathan Peterman could have hit this
Yeah it was a bad throw. I'd have rather seen him overthrow it. Seems like a bad time to underthrow that pass and give the DB any shot at it.Just a fucking awful, amateur throw.
Because, listen carefully, a wideout is easier to plug in than a QB. And even at that, Jerry's history with wideouts is horrendous. You're implying that "almost every NFC team has a better QB than Dak."Almost every NFC team has a better QB than Dak. They acquired them via miracles?
