    1000% agree

    And if Mills continue to be the starter, even if he continues to be below avg at his job, you don't think he's not going to want at least $25M - $30M?

    I would absolutely not take Dak over Mills. Dak is squarely in the Jimmy G, Cousins category of very much average QB getting overpaid.
    Are you suggesting Dak is a top 10 QB?

    QB's at the top of the draft is a crap shoot. Look the QB's drafted in the last 5 years in the 1st. There are SO MANY bust or guys that are just Average.

    There is no assurance that Stroud or Young (or anyone) else is going to be a Mahomes, Watson, Allen, or Herbert. None of those QB's were drafted in the top 5.

    He was the 2nd best passer on deep balls in the NFL last year

    I would rather wait to see how he plays this season. Why are u so hell-bent on declaring now "we need to draft a QB"? If he sucks, they will be in the position to draft the QB next draft.

    Dak is not a top 10 QB, like someone said before. He’s in the Cousins mold

    Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert, Wilson, Stafford, Murray, Watson, Carr are all better

    Murray, Carr and Dak are all one in the same.

    Could see that, but I’d still take Murray and Carr over Dak

    I don’t think many would rate him higher, seems fair where I put him. Still could bust

    Basically u have him in top 10, pretty sure folks could put him alittle but higher. Top 6-9 isn't unrealistic. It would b interesting to see if Watson could return to form but him sucking just benefits us.

    Even if he plays as well as he did, he won’t be above the top 6-7 guys. They’re just too good. Still somewhere around 10 is good

    I’d add Lamar, and personally I’d take Matty ice and cousins over Dak, Dak is incredibly overrated, he has 0 wow to him other than his leadership(which is important), he’s only good when Zeke is good. He’s the best qb in the worst qb division

    I think mills has the potential to reach matt shuabs level. He was pretty good with his time on the Texans.

    Here's my Top 10

    1) Brady
    2) Mahommes and Rogers (both have 1 SB)
    3) Stafford/Wilson (1 SB but not as talented)
    4) Jackson (MVP season)
    5) Burrow
    6) Watson
    7 -10) Herbert, Dak, Murray

    Carr would be on the outside looking in.
