Dak Prescott's new contract is the best deal ever signed for a player

It's actually, like, maybe the best contract that's ever been signed [for a player]... $126 million out of the $160 million is guaranteed. And it's four years.

The contract was widely praised for its structure, effectively allowing Dak to hit free agency again quickly.

Ezekiel Elliott's contract is the Cowboys' biggest mistake, not Dak Prescott's

If you want to point to one thing they [the Cowboys] screwed up, it's probably Ezekiel Elliott's contract, right? Like Dak Prescott, that's the going rate for quarterbacks right now.

Subjective, but Elliott's production declined significantly after his extension, while Dak remained the franchise cornerstone.

Dak Prescott is an MVP-caliber player because the Cowboys stunk without him

You could make the argument that Dak is an MVP guy because you saw what happened when he went out last year. And the team just stunk. Andy Dalton is probably an average backup. So Dak goes out, Andy comes in, the team just goes to absolute shit.

Dak has historically performed at an MVP-level pace (like early 2020), but the team's record with and without him is a common debate point.

Dak Prescott is the 'best very good' quarterback in the NFL

If we're doing tiers, I would say that Dak is a great, very good quarterback. So he's like the best very good quarterback.

This is an inherently subjective ranking of player tiers.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
