Maybe it's me but if it's not good then it's bad. Is market value for a guy that's top 15 to be the 2nd highest paid in the league? He's the 2nd highest paid QB just behind Mahomes except he's not nearly as good as Mahomes or Watson, Wilson, Rogers, Brady, etc. People have short memories but the Cowboys started the season 1-3 under Prescott. I'm sure they would have won the division (god I hope so given how historically bad it was) if he didn't get hurt but we aren't talking about a QB that single handedly wins games for his teams. He's good in that system with all that surrounding talent but he's eclipsed 4000 yards just once and if you look at his stats he's not even as accomplished as a guy like Kirk Cousins. He plays in Dallas so just like average Leafs players are put on a pedestal for the market they play in so is he because if he played in say Carolina I hardly think he's getting this contract. I'm not calling him a bad QB as I think he's a top 15 QB but contracts like this screw up everything for teams that have QB's like Prescott that aren't elite but will now expect elite money.
