I get people thinking Dak isn't worth the money but the reality is he will get paid because what the market is for QB's these days.
He has been a starter for 3 years now. He has made 2 pro bowls already and was the rookie of the year in 2016. He has thrown for 10,876 yards with a 66.1 Completion percentage. He has 67 TD's vs 25 interceptions with another 944 yards rushing and 18 rushing TD's. He has been making 630K per year.
His winning percentage the last 3 years is .647. That would put him 2nd in the league over that period behind only Brady.
Just to put that in perspective the active QB's with a minimum of 3 years of service with a better winning percentage in their career.
Brady .772
Big Ben .670
R/ Wilson .668
Dak P .647
A Rodgers. .629
A. Luck .606
D. Brees .586
C. Wentz .575
Not saying Dak is as good as any of those players after only 3 years but in this league it's about winning and market value. Dak has not missed a game in 3 years.
Jerry Jones is going to pay him and would it be pretty foolish not to pay him given the team is contending for a title. The market value rises as the cap rises. Wilson has set the market cap. Dak will get close to that number then when the next contract is due by someone they will beat that number.
It's not about what they are actually worth but what the market value is.
Wentz will probably get more and he hasn't been as good given he can't stay on the field. Goff will to but since they were 1st round players the teams have a 5th year options. Dak is in the last year of his contract.
If they don't sign him they will franchise him but for cap purposes it makes sense to sign him now.
QB's don't grow on trees, Dallas was lucky to find a QB in the 4th round. The problem is they are too good to go find one in the high first next year.
Dallas has been preparing to pay him now for two years.
