re: I’m scared the Cowboys are going to make Dak the highest paid NFL player of all-time

I never said you should pay a premium for an elite QB is not elite.

Fair enough but this raises 2 other questions : what are you defining as "elite" and why don't you think Dak qualifies?

I'll grant you Mahomes and Wilson are on another level but based on what he's done, i just don't see how he's not at least a top 7-10 QB and since his rookie deal is done he's up for a new contract. They have a good roster as it is and a new coach, to start over with a rookie would be insane imo. You and others get too caught up in a meaningless statements like "highest paid". That's just at one moment in time, Garappolo was the highest paid QB after signing his deal in 2018 but last year he was in the middle of the pack for QB's The first year was higher because of the signing bonus and they still made the Super Bowl. Contracts can also get restrux, it won't be "highest" paid for the duration of the contract esecially for cap purposes. Personally i think Prescott is better than Jimmy G.
