and then....probably Dak Prescott, as far as the best QB's in football in 2020.
You are clearly forgetting Lock. Please re-read the last several months of the Donkey thread to refresh your memory on how elite his play has been. [Reply]

AGAIN..Don't.....give....a...shit...how many "yards" he had.
His stats are misleading anyways. He plays terrible when things are going bad around him. In 8 losses in 2019 he had 8 TDs, and 7 INTs. [Reply]

Sure, the only thing positive about Prescott is h3 can take a beating.
So put Teddy Bridgewater on there. Taysom Hill. Joe Burrow. Matt Moore. Anyone but Dak Prescott. [Reply]

Yes and no.
Because if it was just the final year of the deal that he was irritated about, they'd end up settling in on a 4 year deal instead.
It's an AAV issue if you really boil it down. Prescott would take less in year 5 if the AAV (and up front money) was high enough. He's essentially saying that the $35 million AAV is too low.
And let's be honest here - is Dak likely to repeat a 300 yard/gm season with any regularity going forward? He's smart to try to leverage as much out of this last season as possible. He had an excellent platform season and he's going to do everything he can to capitalize on that. Afterall, he's played 4 years on a 3rd rounder's deal - he's been wildly underpaid for awhile now.
And the Cowboys have done nothing to set up a plan B behind him, so he's got Jerrah by the nesmonds here. He's not gonna get tossed over the side for Cam Newton. [Reply]

Dalton was never anything more than AJ Green's Jugs machine.
Dalton spends the last 3-4 years as a backup but/for Green inflating his numbers. And even at that, he wasn't all that good. Dalton is as JAG as they get. [Reply]

Phillip Rivers just got $25 million from the Colts.
Yes, there are plenty of teams that would give him $35 million/yr for 5 years over his prime. Would it be a smart decision for them? Hard to say - really depends on their team. But if he were a free agent, he'd get something approaching that. Maybe $33 million, maybe $37 million, but there is enough cap space out there that somebody would give him that. [Reply]
