Would you? TUA FOR DAK?
62 replies
Dorfdadforum_veteranOPI know my answer but I would like to know if anyone here would do that deal? DAK has proven he can play, he's also proven he can lose in big situations. Tua has proven 1 year that he can play, Both are looking for bigger deals from their franchises, but its looking more a more that both teams have some real concerns.
Do you think a change of scenery would improve DAK or allow TUA to grow? (Tua obviously would benefit and it would benefit us to keep him, but if DAK would come cheaper, and he can run when needed and has a very good TD/INT ratio last few years and AVG.
Just an interesting discussion to have before the draft and wondering what you guys would do?
I would take DAK over TUA today if I had to have someone for the next 3 years.
Reasoning is show below.
NFL playoff experience, Bigger Games and won, Has consistently played in Cold weather stadiums and performed well. With out targets on Offense I think he could easily get 5K passing 42 TD a year, and Playoff Leadership Experience for probably relevant money.
This is just 2023 stats, but last three years also DAK has been better in almost all categories
texanphinaticforum_veteranNo.
TheHighExhaultedforum_veteranThe draft is two days away.
OwesOwn614forum_veteranNope. No disrespect to Dak. He's had to put up with as much BS from Cowboys fans as Tua has from Dolfans. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

...and we have three months before training camp. We haven't scratched the surface of thephins.com offseason insanity yet.
Dorfdadforum_veteranIf we can't work out a fair contract for TUA are you all still a no?
ExplosionsInDaSkyforum_veteranI think they're in the same tier of quarterback so I'm going to vote no. It would be a lateral move for both franchises assuming the hypothetical trade was Dak for Tua straight up. I don't see Dak as a better fit either.

Dak is talking about securing a $60 million bag after this season. Not good context for the question you asked.
Strikingforum_veteranAnyone mention Dak is 30? He's not getting better while Tua still has room to improve. So No
Rick 1966forum_veteranNo. Dak wouldn't be enough of an upgrade to make a difference.
The_Dark_Knightforum_veteranWhile Dak has had to endure the never ending soap opera that is the Dallas Cowboys, he’s not demonstrated to me that he can win the big games needed.
Jones tends to stick with losing quarterbacks too long.

The best you are doing is ever so slightly upgrading but at the expense of a QB who is 5 years older so it wouldn't make much sense to me.
Silverphinforum_veteranEven if I was open to trading Tua at this point, trading Tua for Dak would be a lateral move.

Holland is a huge upgrade over McCain

Not much of an upgrade (if at all), older, more expensive = no.
Springveldtforum_veteranNo and I like Dak a lot.
Tua is 5 years younger, he's still got a lot of growing to do.

The_Dark_Knightforum_veteranJust playing Devils Advocate…
If we were to trade Tua (and I don’t want to trade him), it would have to be for either an DEFINITIVE upgrade…or part of a rebuild in which we needed multiple draft picks for him.

As was mentioned above, Dak is 5-6 years older and about to sign a huge contract. I doubt anyone believes that Dak would come here and play any better than Tua has.
And if people were willing to give up that amount of draft pick, enough to fill a rebuild, we’d be crazy to do it. Franchise QB’s are hard to find.

Next year QB class is an iffy one as well.
I do think the Chargers can do the funniest thing ever though by trading Herbert for an astonishing amount of picks/players and then drafting JJ to play with Harbaugh. It won't happen, but I am rooting SO HARD for it. :chuckle:
bbqpitloverforum_veteranNeither player shows up in big games, let's stay with Tua.

I didn’t mention Dakota because I don’t believe he is an upgrade, let alone a definitive upgrade as I previously stated.
