Back when lions signed stafford I was kinda under the impression he wasn’t worth it but you had to pay your guy when his contract came up even if he was middle the pack cause didn’t think you could do better. I no longer feel that way now seeing how productive so many these young kids are, how many decent QBs seem to hit the market lately, it just easier succeeding at the position than it ever has been imo but if you sink a huge chunk of your cap into the qb then it gets much harder as the talent level around him inevitably drops some.
If Dak was looking for 20-25mil per year I’d sound much different. To me that much more in line with what you wanna be paying your qb unless you have a mahomes, wilson, select hand full of the guys who undoubtedly make the players around him better. I don’t think it hating to say Dak is a tear below those guys. You can win with Dak if he surrounded with the right pieces, I just don’t see him being a guy that carries ya to a championship. To be in that 30+ mil range I think that what you have to be..
I certainly don’t think dallas is making a mistake having him play under the tag and seeing if he in fact does improve enough to jump into that level. If he gets better under McCarthy great, not as if they getting any kind of discount now so waiting another year isn’t gonna cost them nearly as much as paying him now and finding out he already at hiS ceiling would hurt!
