I agree that Dalton with the Patriots wouldn't amount to much compared to their standards but I would definitely take Dalton over Stidman or the rookies they have drafted. The funny thing about Dalton is how Redskins fans are so lucky that Gruden was fired because they are 100% positive that Dalton would be signed if he was still the coach Edited May 1, 2020 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Atlanta has traded an "undisclosed draft pick" (probably a 7 next year) to Miami for Charles Harris. Good riddance. Also, Miami cut Taco Charlton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is played in the middle of the week every season. Well yeah, but there are no games aside from the ASG for that entire week so they send all the hosts to the Pro-Am, and if you don't give a flying fuck about golf, especially non-PGA golf, or the Home Run Derby, than it's just awful.

He has been an above average QB and even now if you put him in the right situation he could definitely be successful. He is the perfect example of how the lazy football media always shits on the Bengals when if they bothered to look at the facts there are quite a few teams who have had much less success over the past decade (Mel Kipper calling Screamin' A on his bullshit was amazing).

There is literally one day without baseball, and it falls on a day of the week that there's no golf being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I somehow forgot that Alex Smith broke his leg on the same exact day (11/18) that Joe Theismann broke his leg. Maybe the Skins should ask the NFL to never schedule them for that day again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MavsFan77 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 34 minutes ago, Death From Above said: That’s actually a semi smart investment for Jerry to make. With all the offensive talent that team has Dalton could do some damage (and is quite possibly the 3rd best quarterback in the division already). Now if I was the agent of Dakota Rayne I’d stop screwing around, accept the $30-35 mil per he’s being offered (which is way more than he’s worth), and shut the hell up. Or they can play the worlds dumbest game of chicken, and find out in free agency next year that his client isn’t worth Patrick Mahomes money (the 40+ a year he’s supposedly demanding).

FluffSnackwell Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Calling Dalton albino Tony Romo would be an insult to Tony Romo. Besides if you really don't think Dak is the long-term answer, you should want him to play out the string with the franchise tag on him so the Cowboys don't lock him up to any kind of high dollar QB contract. Admittedly I'm biased since Dak is the only QB (that played for my favorite college team) that I can even remember making an NFL roster. You're right though. He did have multiple games last year where he failed to lead the team to a single TD drive and others where they were shut out after an impressive opening TD drive. That's inexcusable even if Zeke had the breakaway speed of a guy afflicted with chronic liquid shits following his little "pay me or fuck off" offseason sabbatical to Mexico. That's why I'm all for the shit or get off the pot approach with the franchise tag. As far as Dak and his agents are concerned, if he plays his way to a long-term payday, that's even better.

Good point about Prescott. He's a great example of total numbers being a little misleading. He threw 30 touchdowns last year, which sounds really good. But 20 of them came in just 6 games with 10 in the other 10. Those 6 games are awesome but...man, you can't have your QB throwing 10 TDs over 10 games, even if you're cherry-picking like I did. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MavsFan77 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) How anyone can try justifying Dak being worth Mahomes level money (or even 35+ million a year) is beyond me. Last year the Cowboys had 7 games against playoff teams. Here’s the wonderful stats that Rayne Dakota put up: New Orleans 0 TD, 1 INT Green Bay 2 TD, 3 INT Philadelphia (G1) 1 TD, 1 INT Minnesota 3 TD, 1 INT New England 0 TD, 1 INT Buffalo 2 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble Lost Philadelphia (G2) 0 TD, 0 INT 8 TDs, 8 INTs, 1 Fumble Lost over 7 games, Team Record 1-6 Now those are some pretty awesome stats huh? And clearly MVP/Highest paid QB in the league worthy. But to take it a step further let’s look at what two of (in my opinion the two best) the best young QBs in football did last year against playoff competition. Then maybe someone can explain why Rayne Dakota should be paid as much as them: Deshaun Watson New Orleans 3 TD, 1 INT Kansas City 1 TD, 2 INT Baltimore 0 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble Lost New England 3 TD, 0 INT Tennessee (G1) 2 TD, 2 INT 9 TDs, 6 INTs, 1 Fumble Lost 3-2 Record Patrick Mahomes Baltimore 3 TD, 0 INT Houston 3 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble Lost Tennessee 3 TD, 0 INT New England 1 TD, 1 INT 10 TDs, 2 INTs, 1 Fumble Lost 2-2 Record And just for fun let’s see what Kirk Cousins looks like: Green Bay (G1) 1 TD, 2 INT, 1 Fumble Lost Philadelphia 4 TD, 1 INT Kansas City 3 TD, 0 INT Dallas 2 TD, 0 INT Seattle 2 TD, 1 INT Green Bay (G2) 1 TD, 1 INT 13 TDs, 5 INTs, 1 Fumble Lost 2-4 Record So yeah even Kirk Cousins had better stats against playoff teams last year than Dak.
