I don’t see Dak ever winning the Cowboys a SB, he doesn’t play well vs better competition. Do you Josh Allen winning a SB?
Mr. WEO Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 1 hour ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Ah, a textbook Weo argument. Don’t include turnovers, qb rating, rushing, current ages to make it look closer than it is. Because if you did that, dalton - 85 QBs rating, 66 ints, 11 rushing tds, current age 32. dak - 97 qb rating, 36 ints, 21 rushing tds, current age 26. i respect your sneakiness Weo. Almost sold it. also, I present Peyton Manning’s 1st 4 years: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MannPe00.htm ? and please don’t twist this like Dak is going to be better than Manning but the guy has been good and some of you are working real hard to discredit him. Like you do with almost every young qb (should I pull out the Mahomes training camp int thread?). If Allen comes close to Dak, we will be begging the Bulls to pay him. We went 7-9 with Trent and JP. We went 9/7 with Ej and Orton. You said he never in his career had Dak like results. It's not sneaky to point out that is not factually correct. Wins, TDs, yards, playoff appearances equivalent. But you want to include rating and ints.....OK. But adding them in doesn't change the fact that they had very similar career starts for their first 4 years. Mentiining their current age is not germane to your original claim so why mention it? I'm all in on Young QB Josh Allen, as you know. Is dak "good"? Sure. And maybe THIS will be the year he leads that star studded team deep into the playoffs. If not, that's a lot of cap being tied up for the guy who only gets you so far....

Billl Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 If a team can’t make the playoffs with a QB throwing for 30TDs, 11 INTs, and 4,900 yards while earning $2,000,000, the problem isn’t the QB. 1 1

I agree. And giving Dak a $35MM deal is not going to help. The team as a whole surrounding Dak is on the decline. The defense never materialized into a top unit like we thought they might. And the o-line, once the best in the league not long ago, is now around average. The wildcard is the coaching change. Maybe McCarthy will be able to turn things around. 1
Just Joshin' Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Well this is one way to cap QB salaries. When someone wants more than $40 million per year the GM will say "Are you better than Mahomes?"

But he will be one if the few qbs who will deserve his money. the nfl needs to do something about this though. It’s a joke how much qbs who aren’t good are getting paid. Teams need to be.......like the Chiefs........KC had Alex Smith...we were winning divisions with that guy. he was putting up "numbers" KC decided that he wasn't getting them to the top and traded up for Mahomes. The problem with mediocre QB getting paid is most teams are too scared. They know what they have with X, and sign him, instead of daring to be better, letting reliable mediocre X move on and getting someone that could be better in there. The NFL doesn't need to do anything. Teams need to be honest about the QB they have. Now, having said that...Andy Reid was/is one of the few guys who had the kind of job security and reputation to be able to go to an owner and say....I realize we are winning, we sell out the stadium every year and our QB is a good guy in the community etc...but he isn't good enough and I want to trade up in the draft for this guy who I think can be better. Very few front offices can do that. Normally a big QB change happens when the coach and GM have just been newly hired and they get one shot at this. That is the problem. If those guys find a QB that gets to 9 wins consistantly, they keep him, becuase the GM and coach keep their jobs because they are "winning" they are "close". You'd overpay a QB too if it menat you got to keep your 5 million per year job an extra year or three or 4.

It's fine and dandy for you as a Chiefs fan to be happy and be a little "this is how everyone should do it" but the reality is that IF Mahomes turned out not to be as good as he is they would be in a completely different position. It's a fact that more 1st round QBs end up being mediocre than elite. In many ways it's just a crapshoot.

And then you don't pay Mahomes if he isn't good...you go and try and find a guy who is good. You are making my point for me. It's hard to win a title with a midling QB....it can be done. it's just harder to build a generational defense, draft well for 3 or 4 years in a row and have everything culminate just right for one season. If you don't have the QB, then you need a QB. You don't pay a QB big money (that what this thread is about..paying big money for average QB) if he isn't a big money type player.

No, you're making my point. There are not enough "elite" QBs for a 32 team league. Every year the top rated QBs coming into the league get drafted quickly. Your team took a chance and it paid off well.

Is your point that teams just stick with a Tyrod Taylor type QB because he's decent or an Andy Dalton type? Should Joe Flacco make a bazillion dollars? Kirk Cousins? Or do you "take a chance" and try and improve?
singlezero Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 if i were dallas id rescind daks franchise and sign cam for half the money. that would help set the QB market . someone has to stand up to these ridiculous contracts. 1
