Rob Parker, Greg Jennings and Jason McIntyre discuss Dak Prescott’s value to the Dallas Cowboys.
Hear why Rob doesn’t think Dak is worth a projected $30 million contract extension.
How might Prescott’s salary impact the Cowboys’ ability to build a complete team?
In a recent episode of the popular sports talk show ‘Undisputed’, Fox Sports analyst Rob Parker made a bold statement about Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. According to Parker, Prescott is not worth the $30 million per year salary that he is reportedly seeking from the team.
Parker’s argument centers around Prescott’s performance on the field. While he has been a solid quarterback for the Cowboys, Parker argues that he has not yet proven himself to be a true franchise quarterback. In his words, Prescott is “good, not great.”
Parker also points out that Prescott’s stats are not particularly impressive when compared to other quarterbacks in the league. He notes that while Prescott had a solid 22-8 touchdown to interception ratio last season, he ranked just 15th in the league in passing yards per game. Parker also questions Prescott’s ability to win big games, noting that he has a 1-2 record in playoff games.
Finally, Parker argues that paying Prescott $30 million per year would be a mistake for the Cowboys. He points out that the team already has a number of high-paid players, including running back Ezekiel Elliott and offensive lineman Zack Martin. Prescott’s salary would eat up a significant portion of the team’s salary cap, making it difficult to build a complete team.
Of course, not everyone agrees with Parker’s assessment of Prescott. Many Cowboys fans and analysts believe that he is indeed a franchise quarterback and that he deserves to be paid accordingly. Prescott has certainly shown promise in his first three seasons in the league, and it’s possible that he could continue to improve and become one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to pay Prescott $30 million per year will be up to the Cowboys’ front office. They will have to weigh the pros and cons of giving such a large contract to a quarterback who has yet to establish himself as a true elite player. It will be a tough decision, but one that could have a major impact on the team’s success in the years to come.
