(NFL News) Dak Prescott Turns Down $33 Million Annually

No way Prescott is worth that much let alone more. Past his 2016 rookie year (which gave us Romo as the best NFL commentator ever, thanks Dak!) he has struggled. No playoffs. His record is 29-25 since then. The other QBs in his draft class have fared far better than him, Goff and Wentz.

The tougher, more time-consuming decision is finding a figure that fits Prescott as the architect of this team’s wins and losses in the next decade. If that number is higher in any significant way than what Goff ($33.5 million average) or Wentz ($32 million) have received, Jerry’s fairy-tale imagination is running away from him again.

If you’re a QB and take a contract that large you better not complain when you and you’re team can’t win. 1 player taking up more than a quarter of the salary cap is just insane.

The CBA is going to have to raise the Cap quite a bit to allow this kind of deal to go through regularly. Owners may not want to pay that but who knows. Good time to have the richest owner in the NFL for sure.

If mahomes is expected to get a 300mil dollar contract for 6 years. I’d be doing what daK is and getting damn near close.

If that’s remotely true then I’m more than ready to trade Cam. I can’t see how you can keep a team paying a franchise QB 25% of your cap. Almost forces you to win on a rookie deal plus 5th year option/6th year franchise deal and rollover the savings from year 1-4 to try and win in the first 6 years.

Dak is a good QB surrounded by great offensive talent. I think he's a top 10-15 QB. I don't think you can afford to cap strap your franchise to pay the guy that kind of money. He can't carry an offense after you have to let some of that great talent walk because you can't afford to pay them too.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
