For the record, I am not a Dak Prescott hater. I think he is a very productive quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys at the right price.
James Thaler, a Nobel Prize-winning economics professor from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, detailed the secret to success in the salary cap era – play better than the value of the contract.
This is why I feel Dak Prescott at a cap hit above 10% of the salary cap is a bad investment and at a cap hit under 10% of the salary cap is a great investment.
