Worked pretty well for me. Or not. Depends on how you look at it.In away I wish I would have just played beach volleyball each SUNDAY smoking weed & drinking beers.
Cheers man.

One of the funniest sports nicknames ever in my opinion was Stat Padfford for our dear own Stafford.1 He’s a stat padder for sure.
2 He had McCarthy who was no slouch as an OC and QB coach. He also had Garrett who was not a very good HC but was a damn good OC and QB coach
3 Zeke in his prime, Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley, Jason Witten, Terrance Williams, Amari Cooper, Tavon Austin, Michael Gallup, Randall Cobb…. The dude’s cupboards were not exactly bare, plus he had THE best O-line in football for several years.
4 He has an OK arm and is NOT very elusive anymore
5 True
So you think McVay is going to want to take on a truly mediocre QB that has only gotten his team into the playoffs 3 times with very mixed results with some pretty good talent on both sides of the ball so he can have him for a couple seasons?
Dak is Kirk Cousins with slightly better legs. No thank you.
Feels like 2 and 3 prove my point, I'm not sure anyone who's payed attention to McCarthy's career thinks he's a good OC and he was maybe a good QB coach when he moved to the Packers but he stopped iterating after about 3 years. In fact he IS a slouch and offloaded many of his duties as HC in his final years in GB and barely switched up his static, no motion original freaking recipe west coast offense when he came to Dallas. Dez at his best was a freelancer who ran poor routes but had fantastic athleticism. Jason was good, the rest are cannon fodder. Oddly enough, Cooper had many of the same problems as Dez. At least CeeDee can do great things as a big slot.1 He’s a stat padder for sure.

Okay, let's put aside the contract issues:
1) Prescott is a top 15 QB with seasons in the top 10, as late as 2023 he lead NFL in TDs and had the 2nd highest EPA per dropback
2) He's never had a good play caller the entire time he's been in Dallas, he's often had to press (makes mistakes there) to make plays
3) His supporting cast at skill positions have been severely lacking, often only having 1 good target and a bunch of also rans
4) He's still got a very good arm and mobility
5) He's never been in the Shanahan/McVay system and I think if he were to come here (not realistic) McVay would return to diverse play-action scheme which would set him free
That being said, I don't super love him this late into his career and would only take him for a 2-3 season rental. He certainly hasn't willed his team to wins in the postseason but not many QBs can and I'm not sure I put it all on him, he's really lacked support when it comes to weapons and playcalling.
BTW, his career passer rating (I don't love this stat) is actually better than Staffords!
Hey I'm not evening arguing he's the best or right option, just that there would be a desire to work with him.While I think you integrate what he's had to work with, but I do think he'd be a realistic option. If the Cowboys drafted a QB then Dan would be available in a year. Its more realistic than dreaming about Joe Burrow being traded to the Rams.
I'm agreeing with youHey I'm not evening arguing he's the best or right option, just that there would be a desire to work with him.
Dak lover.Feels like 2 and 3 prove my point, I'm not sure anyone who's payed attention to McCarthy's career thinks he's a good OC and he was maybe a good QB coach when he moved to the Packers but he stopped iterating after about 3 years.

At least CeeDee can do great things as a big slot.
Anyways, it's a moot point since that contract means he's not going anywhere. But if it was tradable, yes, I see a world where McVay wants to work with him.
I do agree, Zeke was good, that offensive line was great but his weapons sucked.
I can’t see where Dak would ever enter the conversation, much less provoke interest.Hey I'm not evening arguing he's the best or right option, just that there would be a desire to work with him.

I can honestly say that you’re my favourite poster on this forum.
The above means nothing… yet has a deeper depth.
