P.S. I'd post a picture, but it was almost as gross as Alex Smith's

Pretty sure he'll do okay in the long run.

Maybe, hard to believe his market value will ever be at that level again.

I'd think he'd have taken out insurance this year though. He was taking a risk taking the one year money, and that seems to be the normal procedure.

He has insurance and endorsement deals worth $50 million. He's gonna be okay.

Not really the point though. He was trying to be elite. He may end up being the next Teddy Bridgewater.

You brought up the contract he passed up. I thought we were talking about money.

I was referring to top tier level. He shouldn't ever have to worry about money with what he has already earned, but he turned down a $175M contract.

Dallas took him in the 4th round without even really wanting him that year. Then Romo gets hurt AND Kellen Moore gets hurt. Dak, the 3rd QB who didn't know how to call a play in the huddle and had never (hardly ever) taken a snap from under center, gets a starting shot.

Things could have turned out that Dak was on a bench behind 2 other QB's for several years without getting a chance to play. He did pretty good to be getting the money he's getting right now.

I'm sure you know but Tom Brady was a 6th round pick.

I saw a couple years ago that 6 starting QBS were drafted 4th or later. That seemed like a high number to me. Lots of things have to go well for a player drafted that late to be given the keys to a team.

And one compound fracture may mean no $175M contract. I'm all for players going for the most amount of money they can get. It's a business after all. I just think Dak and his team were a bit unreasonable. I think $35/5 yrs was a good market value for him. He was a top 10, maybe top 5 qb, not top 2.

I'm still old school enough to think that you don't "bargain your way" to being #2. You play your way to being #2 and then you "bargain". Its as much the owners fault for going along with it, but thank god for the salary cap so they at least have some kind of constraint to work within. For a fan, that at least makes it somewhat of a strategic game when it comes to salaries and players.
