So according to this graphic, assuming the numbers are legit
(which I’m not willing to put in the time and effort to verify)
the only difference between Dak and Mahomes is Dak chokes in the playoffs and Mahomes excels in the playoffs.
Seems legit
First note that the Chiefs let their superstar WR go. There is only so much money to go around. And the Vikings let their franchise QB go. There is only so much money to go around. Cowboys fans want Dak and Lamb on record contracts. Then we will be complaining when there is no depth. Something has to give.
There is another difference: The contract. Spotrac is constantly updating their website, so it is difficult for me to prove, but that 250 million dollar contract that people made such a big deal out of was an illusion. The contract that Mahomes signed is very team friendly. Even if we just do simple math it comes to 25 million per year, which is very reasonable.
Dak is trying to make every penny. I recall reading that as a rookie Dak made 50 million in endorsements. If we extend that out to every year, how much money is that in endorsements alone?
Don't tell me that it would be an insult for Dak to play for 30 million per year because it is "his turn". Note that Mahomes isn't getting "his turn". Mahomes knows he will cash in enormously by winning Superbowls.
Yes, Jerry is likely to F it up anyway, but if Will McClay, for example, sees a trade possibility, the Cowboys wouldn't necessarily have to ask, "Can we afford him?"
