Don't laugh but I'm hearing QB needy teams are monitoring the Dak situation. Teams view the 2025 QB class as weak and if Giants don't pick a QB next week I expect them to be in on Dak. Teams believe Dak and Cowboys are heading for a divorce and that he will be available in FA"
Dak as a FA? - (

Go from paying one overrated QB 45 million aav to paying another overrated QB 50 aav. That's how to build the team!
Is Dak really overrated or do you just not like him because he's a Cowboy?
He's got a 73-41 career record and in just over 7 seasons he's completing 67% of his passes with 30k pass yards, 202 passing TDs and only 74 INTs. He also has 1900 rushing/receiving yards and 19 rushing/receiving TDs.
In 7 career playoff games he's got 1962 passing yards & 14 TDs with 7 INTs
He also 163 rushing yards and 4 rushing TDs.
He's overrated because he never produces in the big moments. He's like Kirk Cousins basically.
I'm not saying he is bad, but he is overrated if you think he's elite or great. He's good, he puts up good numbers, but he won't get you a superbowl especially when you pay him 50+ aav.
The goal is to build the core of the team organically, especially the QB. Use the draft.
I think Dak's a damn good QB & I'd take him on the Giants tomorrow if I could. & of course the $ has to be taken into consideration...that's obvious.

If the Cowboys are where they are now with all those quality players on rookie deals and the o line they have, then we will never get to that level with Dak as QB unless maybe you say 3 years down the road we hit on several drafts and get to that level. Otherwise, we need free agents and the rookie qb contract to get there.
I've met him numerous times while in college and the Pros. Super cool dude. Personality wise I'd take 53 Dak Prescott's on my team.

I absolutely think he's a great QB. How many QBs over a 114 game stretch are completing 67% of their passes, have 31k total yards, 230 total TDs and under 75 INTs? I'd bet it's a very small list.

Kirk Cousins is in that group too, yeah? The Cowboys haven't even begun to feel the effects of the contract they gave Dak, I believe that starts next year. There are very few QBs you could win with on a 50aav contract. It's so hard to build the roster with that unless you are sure he's the guy for the foreseeable future, then you can just keep restructuring the contract. The only way I do that is if the QB is clutch in the playoffs like Eli was. Otherwise, it's just not worth it to me.
He is not and never will be the solution for the G-men.
You just described every QB in the league. Except the ones who call it home.
This offense looks like it would score well over 20 PPG:
QB: Prescott
RB: Singletary, 2024 mid-round draft pick, 2025 mid-round pick
WR: Nabers/Odunze/MHJ, Wan’Dale, Hyatt, 2025 draft pick
TE: Bellinger, 2024/2025 TE pick
OL: Thomas, Runyan, JMS, Eleumenor, Neal
Draft a kid.

I’d take Dak or Cousins in a heartbeat over what we have today. In Cousins’ defense, the Vikings put some shitty defenses out there the last few years, especially 2022.
"BB" is not likely to be an NFL head coach again.
But not at AT&T in January.
"he's in a different stratosphere talent wise than Jones." So is pretty much every other starting QB in the NFL.
HAHA, good one.
A lot of QBs not from NY know as well...
He is not a top 5 qb

A BB-Dak HC-QB combo in '25 wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Strongly disagree. He wants to pass Shula.

I'm pretty comfortable considering a 2023 All Pro quarterback who came in second in the MVP vote a top 5 quarterback.
This is like Goldilocks on steroids. Eli Manning ain't walking through that door.
But he stunk here. And Dak would stink here too.
So you’re saying Dak is better than these 5?
Mahomes
Allen
burrow
Herbert
Jackson
I mean you could make an argument for Stroud or Cousins. And we can disagree on this but I’m still taking Matthew Stafford over Dak every day of the week.

I think the best 5 quarterbacks in the NFL are in order.
Mahomes
Allen
Jackson
Burrow
Prescott
Is he a product of the system? Maybe. But he just keeps on producing and winning double digit games. All he can do is what's asked.
Funny you mention Stafford. Because if he hangs them up after this year, I think LA will sign Prescott.

Another example of every quarterback sucking except Mahomes. Prescott is one of the top 5 best quarterbacks in the NFL. That he's never won much in the playoffs certainly doesn't make him suck.

+ 1
He benefits from a top OL, WR(s) and TE
He’s top 10 but not top 5 and is not the answer here
Don't forget people clamoring for Russel Wilson a few years ago.
He has a 2-5 playoff record and has never won a Divisional round playoff game. His completion % in the playoffs is also lower.
I found a stat from last year, prior to 2023 he is 18-24 against teams that finished the season with a winning record. .428 winning %. In 2023 4 of their 5 losses came against winning teams, their notable wins 2 each against the Giants and Redskins, the Jets, patriots, chargers and panthers. So 8 wins against the worst teams in the NFL. He did beat the Rams, Lions and Eagles once when they were on the slide.
When the game is big he comes up small.

This. Dak is pretty good, but I would expect a Top 5 QB to come up big in big situations, not lose at home to lesser teams that they were heavily favored to beat.
