Marcellus Wiley explains why Dak deserves his record-breaking contract | NFL | SPEAK FOR YOURSELF

Ouch, does Jack deserve this

record

contract

? First of all, he starts off the right way exactly exactly, let me start like this. That's why I'm broke and you have money in this whole Prescott saga. That's why Marcellus has the first parking spot when you enter the complex and I'm somewhere in the back like I'm you and that's in that dusty building exactly that's the difference between you and me sir so I congratulate you that's all what I need for you, that's all I need. I love you um now let's get to work, let's get to work Does that Prescott deserve the

record

contract

no, no, no, no, no, oh, no, no, no, oh, no, no, no, no, oh, no, no, no, oh, congratulations to the deck, congratulations to the friends, agent dax, yes, congratulations to everyone, um, who loves dak, his friends, his family, here we go, but I have a job to do and the crux of The question is whether he

deserves

it.

No, let's look at some of the other massive deals and whether the players deserve it. Let's start there, okay, and I'll start with Carson Wasz. Did he deserve it? Everyone would probably say no, but at least his Eagles while he was on the roster won a Super Bowl. Jared Goff. He deserved it. People would probably look at him and say no, but at least they rammed while he was on the list. the list that starts as quarterback went to a super bowl russell wilson

deserves

it most people would say yes russell wilson has won a super bowl patrick mahomes deserves it obviously he does won a super bowl the future of the franchise Watson wants a big deal, does he deserve it?

You could argue there, you could probably argue and lean on the side of no, but at least we know he's one of the five best or the fifth best quarterback in the National Football League, but does Deshaun Watson deserve it? make a big argument that no you don't, if you want to see collective success, okay, now we get to Dak Prescott, the crux of the matter is Marcellus, there is no argument, no statistics, no empirical data, no proof ocular, nor film with study proof that says. that prescott should be the highest paid quarterback in the nfl at no point zach prescott is not at any point that prescott led the nfl in any statistical category not one good no completion percentage no touchdowns no interceptions no passer rating literally no once now you could look at guys like matthew stafford matt ryan jimmy garoppolo kirk cousins ​​who have been the highest paid quarterbacks, but even matt stafford matt ryan kirk's cousins ​​have led the nfl in a statistical category at some point on time just one not all just one matthew stafford thank you uh most completions in a season kirk cousins ​​appreciate your completion percentage in a season matt ryan thank you very much completion percentage in a season but when I look at that prescott

marcellus

wiley

at no time Have you ever led any statistical category?

He hasn't led his team to a Super Bowl nor has his team won a Super Bowl while he's on the roster, so, once again, I don't think he deserves a record contract. I'm happy he got it, I'm happy he got it, but did he deserve it? No, absolutely, he deserved it. I don't know who your agent is. Congratulations on getting you this far, but let me move on. Let me represent Emmanuel. Stop, okay, I'm not good at everything, this is about two things, I'm very, very good at

breaking

banks and ruining banks, that's all I do, buddy, look, I told you you're scared, money isn't Whatever you do, money, you're still on the tables. giving vegas all your money building casinos left and right that's what i chose yeah acho i built that one too instead of just going with me bro and i told you if you go with me you'll find where dak goes and that finally got there , congratulations.

That being said, I think what you're doing is something that a lot of people do in terms of misunderstanding what a contract actually is. I think you want it to be evidence-based, you wanted it to be based on measurables and metrics and achievements, but I give it to you in the form of a story when I was a player representative for nine of my 10 years in the NFL and we used to go to Hawaii every year. , now that trip sounded like a burden to some and then it sounded like a paid vacation to others, but if you took advantage of the resources and education that was being provided across campus, you really learned a lot about the league.

I remember watching an executive board member talk to us about marketing, it was basic marketing for all NFL player representatives. and he handed out all these folders this size with each player's NFL marketing offers. Well, it was half a page because it was pretty good at the time, not very good, and then you get to other guys who had a line, they get to another guy. They have a line, you get to another guy, he has a full page, you say, oh, he faced and then we get to young Peyton Manning, he wasn't like his junior, he had 19 pages and we said, wait a minute, Peyton. manning is not fine there is no super bowl peyton manning has been fighting and then fine and then we don't know what it's going to be he can't even beat tom brady why is peyton manning making all this money and finally the executive board member came along stood up and told us why there are two things that are paid for in this world and you know one of them and you are only married to one of them production yes sir what is the potential of the other okay okay so here is what you have to do Remember that when you talk about a young player with tremendous upside, not only is he going to make as much as a great older player, but he can get it sooner than you anticipate and expect, and that's what Dak Prescott is, that Prescott is a player with a The good thing is that we can't even limit, we can't even limit how high that Prescott can go, so when you look at the NFL you start going through the contract and I'll do that in my next layer left, you can't.

Compare Dak Prescott the same way you compare other players because you are not taking into account his potential, his future and his advantages. I like how you went there to untie and reveal some layers. I don't know what the next block will be. to block after that, so I'll give you my ammo as I have it and it comes to me, okay, that Prescott cell phone hasn't shown up, I'd say no one, and I've watched the cowboys as much as anyone has watched the cowboys. because I covered them in 2016, 2017 and 2018 working on the star, I was at the facility, for sure, in 16 and 17.

Marcellus, what did Prescott show you to make us believe that oh, his potential is through the roof ? His potential is 160. worth a million dollars again, let me remind everyone that Prescott comes into the league 23 touchdowns four picks next year 22 touchdowns after gears third year 22 touchdowns his fourth year 30 touchdowns is the fifth year he gets hurt that Prescott hasn't shown us anything that says he's steadily rising, what he's shown us is that he's consistently good, I believe that fervently and I wore the bracelet all through college, that was my hall of fame. Head coaches Matt Brown's mantra, you have to be consistently good to be great, yes, so we can argue that that Prescott is great because he's consistently good, but what we can't sit here and argue and try to make up for is that , suddenly, prescott is elite because he has ever been elite, no dak prescott has been. he's been great because he's been consistently good 23 touchdowns 22 touchdowns 22 touchdowns 30 touchdowns injured passer rating peaked in his rookie year sent to 105 then 86 then 96 then 99 then 99 then injured that prescott has never shown us

marcellus

who's knocking on elite doors, he didn't show us any justin herbert type touchdown rookie 25 26, he didn't do that, that prescott never gave us a wow moment, he always gave us a really good moment, so the The reason I don't think he deserves this record contract is because this record contract is NFL record elite money $66 million NFL record signing bonus $75 million in NFL record first year 95 million dollars fully guaranteed so Prescott is great because he's been consistently good not great because he ever gave us a carson one time nine or ten miracle weeks not great because he once gave us a jared goff type super bowl 38 campaign touchdowns nine picks no, that greatness of prescott lies in his consistency huh, but his the consistency, selling me doesn't deserve the kind of freakazoid dollar, oh, big dog, let's learn some lessons here, he's me, okay, one, you're not measuring the impact correctly uh the dallas cowboys with dak prescott alone in the short sample last year 32 points a game without that prescott 21 points per game is fine you don't want to give all that credit to dak prescott but he only took out one thing from that equation and that was Dak Prescott's injury that showed you a difference of 11 points per game Okay, you don't want to talk about that Prescott, let's go here.

What about wins since that Prescott entered the NFL since he became a player and starter in the NFL, who is number one and beats Tom Brady, who is number two, Jack Prescott, tied with Russell Wilson? I don't want to leave all that in the deck, okay, let's talk about this, the fact that the good and the young will make more money than the big and the old, don't believe me, let's talk about some of these deals that are bigger than the goat cat brady, uh, matthew stafford, uh, when he signed his contract in 2017, he was great, he was the elite, matthew stafford, who never won a playoff game, oh, okay, kirk cousins, he was the elite, the guy who didn't even he couldn't even win a playoff game and take out the monkey. until he went to new orleans, was whatever matt ryan is?

He won an MVP super good, okay, whatever, where is he now? Holding your breath making sure they don't trade him he did chippy g holding your breath hopefully he won't be. being tracked carson wins jared goff this is what happens when you're rewarded it's not just so ambiguous you deserve it you know what it really is you've earned it and you've earned it through a collection of assets and attributes what are the ones that are on the field, I got metric on the metric, he's a winner, okay, he's number one in every category for the Dallas Cowboys, okay, the first five seasons off the field, an unquestionable character like the only thing that you have in that Prescott is that he had a coveted party a little early and um. he didn't have enough fries for all the people he invited there, that was the only thing that got around, no one has ever heard a nasty word about dak prescott in terms of off the field character, but the biggest problem and I read about this and it was interesting that Jerry Jones doesn't trust Jerry Jones to find another guy as Dak Prescott's franchise quarterback, so fear also drives up the price.

Let's talk about the fact that Jerry Jones realizes that I don't know who he could remember in the same draft. that dak was selected as the 8th quarterback yeah mr jones in the first round you know what he wanted paxton lynch boy stop you know who he wanted in the fourth round before dak Connor Cook stop , and then he didn't even draft dak first in the in the 4th round, he was the compensatory pick, ah, so jerry jones understands this value about replacement, something you always mention, how can I replace dak prescott and how much do I Is that type going to cost? jerry got in his way because he thought prescott wasn't about that life jerry could have gotten 30 million dollars back i used to have that argument with jason whitlock a couple of years ago dak is going to get 30 million then it was 35 million he got hurt in one leg got 40 million dollars the point of this is what you have to add it all up when you want to isolate dak and say well he's not the best player well tom brady is the best player if you want to base it on wins, losses and measurable, but tom brady is earning the 14th highest amount. of money according to your contract, so it's not always the same reciprocity between how much you get paid and how good you are, you have to respect production and benefits, sure, but we have to talk about inputs versus results, that's what I look at when I'm talking about deserving if your contribution matches your production than Prescott your contributions 160 million dollars what is your production I'm not going to turn a blind eye this year because it's part of Prescott's resume well, Prescott Marcellus is tied for sixth place in the nfl and wins if this year is anything to go by I can't turn a blind eye to the fact that he got hurt this year because that's important it's part of him even though he never got hurt before but I understand but now he got hurt once. of five seasons, so he's injured 20 percent of the time, we just have to keep in mind that all of that was a book, the other thing is that he wasn't 20 years old, it's a fact because he wouldn't get hurt throughout the entire season. year, I'm sure it was wonderful 17.3 thanks, but this is my thing, big dog, at least be elite in anything, what he wins is not a league you talked about when he is sixth and wins, eh, he is six, you talked about who is sixth and has won since he enteredin the league, I'm talking. about starting a whole year 2016 to 2019. you're going to use this year against him and that's not fair, but go ahead, I won't let you go, I won't use it against him, I'll use it with him, but anyway anyway, sale , if you talk about Matt Ryan, you talk about Matt Stafford, you talk about cousins, they were elite at least in anything and what completion percentage they love the league, Matt, do you like completion percentage?

I like it, but I'm not enough to say it. That's why. you have a contract, that's enough, that's the case, then give cam newton on this contract, that's enough for 66. suffice it to say this when i look at dak prescott, nothing about him surprises you, what surprises you is his consistency yes you look at him and say man, I know, let's talk about this because we always talk about track when you talk about Asapha Pal, that's uh Usain Bolt.rival in jamaica for those who don't know, asapha pal is also a 100 meter runner, yeah , he never comes first, but he has the most 100 meter times under 10 seconds, which means you know he's consistently good, he's not the best, he's not the worst, but he's consistently good, that Prescott cell is consistently good so why am I paying that prescott elite money?

I need the play to match the payout and the play currently doesn't match the payout, the play has never matched play wow payout right now it's number one, the play is probably number eight and we can't even disagree in that you wouldn't say that dak is in the top five, no, I'm not saying that I wouldn't say that it is in the top five of dak daka, no, but you are you. Once again you are misunderstanding how things are going. I was never the best defensive end, certainly not better than Bruce Smith, but guess who got paid more?

I. Because in part I had the advantage. In part I had the explosion of truth. But you deserve it. Can I spend it? Damn, you might deserve it. Do I deserve to be here? Hell yeah, because I'm here. What the hell are you going to say? Well, I know another guy on YouTube who is better than you. Well, they are good. Let them be. youtube and I'll be here like all this like oh well you really earned it no you really earned it I'm going to tell you this I would earn my money birth certificate you gotta add it like that are you good?

You are young, do you have room to grow? That's an equation I don't think you're taking into account. Put it this way, this is deja vu for me because I'm older. I was in the league from 1997 to 2007. Tom Brady, I remember people saying that even though Tom Brady won a super bowl his second year, people didn't say anything about him, he surprises you, nothing about him woos you, the good thing about tom brady and if you look at the numbers, peyton manning was putting up great numbers and people like that is the guy now one is the goat and the other is my favorite quarterback, but the point is if you just look at it in the category of surprising you, well Patrick Mahone should clearly be the highest paid, I absolutely agree, but then I have to counter that by saying Patrick Holmes you are clearly the highest paid but you only got one Super Bowl but you are young.

Oh, look how that youth card is applied when necessary in the terms of the contract and then there is talk of earning it, who is looking? patrick mahomes now john prescott oh yeah now that crazy guy hey now deshawn this shawn deserved it but i didn't say he didn't do it right but two mistakes don't make it right no no no but that's the way it is that's the market value after wish who are we going to? to russell wilson, does he deserve it? Yeah, how it has at least one Super Bowl sale. He got a Super Bowl turning the ball over.

He told him to go deeper. He is fine and he lost the second. Okay, but that's something. the cowboys haven't seen him in a quarter of a century so now you're telling me that jared goff deserves this because he went for a super bowl yes, jared goff deserves what i'm saying what i'm saying is this entry exit at least jared goff took you to a super bowl at least carson gonez was on a roster during a super bowl if that prescott had taken the cowboys to a super bowl I would say you know what you accomplished, something that hasn't been accomplished since I was five years, so yes, you deserve it, but still, what has he done?

You got into the playoffs when you put

yourself

in position to make it to a super, so this is what we know, this is what we know and this is what I can concede. Prescott can win a lot of games yes we know that's true can that press get you when you play in the games? Yeah, he's one and two, can that press Sean Watson, can that Prescott win you an NFC championship? No, he didn't say that. win your super bowl we don't know so you're paying doc press i got the top flight the most money for many unknowns i'm happy he did it i'm just saying he doesn't deserve it now i'm not going to say he didn't earn it, but I'm just saying that if you ask me as a neutral analyst, does he deserve it just because everyone else overpaid for the houses in Beverly Hills?

Does that mean you have to overpay? but you should also applaud anyone whose house isn't as good as yours and who gets paid a lot more to sell it because that means mediocrity is being rewarded if you want to continue this argument guess what and if you're great oh my god you are about to cash in on patrick mahomes, but if you're not patrick mahoney's in great, you'll still cash in on deshaun watson matthew stafford kirk cousins ​​jimmy g carson gonez jarrett golf none of those guys are in the same stratosphere as patrick mahomes oh, fair, fair, Right, I thought you were going to do well, but then Jack is sitting there like okay, someone else has to be second highest paid.

Who is he? Do you want Prescott to be Deshawn Watson plus inflation? It's as simple as he had the same comparisons as Desean Watson. except he earns more than wish watson and then sits there saying im too young to get my money, you're not necessarily saying he deserves it for his play, but the market dictates his value, therefore the market dictates that he deserves it because Yeah, I don't think we agree, maybe that Prescott doesn't deserve Patrick Mahomes' money based on talent level or potential level, he doesn't, but he's making more than Patrick Mahomes, yeah, on the first four years, that's where I'm on tour is like this man, him, sir, with that smile, although he's making more than Patrick Mahomes in the first four years, but he's not as good nor his ceiling is high, so That's where it's hard for me to say that he deserves it.

Oh, look, be careful. of this because patrick mahomes at this moment has that super bowl, if he continues to only have that super bowl being the highest paid, the conversation will change and the criticism will be directed towards him.
