If the Cowboys could trade up for Joe Burrow instead of signing Dak it makes better sense.
Burrows would then be under a rookie contract for five years, with a new and capable head coach in Mike McCarthy, and Kellen Moore leading the offense. The Cowboys would save big money compared to giving a big contract to a still unproven Dak Prescott.
The offensive line is still strong, and Zeke is still powerful.
In the short term and the long, trading up for Burrows is a no-brainer.
And signing Case Keenum would give them solid depth for a championship run by 2021.
It makes good sense every way you look at it.
But how are you gonna load Burrow up with talent if you give up so many draft picks? Burrow would be heavily blamed if he fails when in fact he's just not given any talent due to all the picks that we traded away because of him.
There's risk taking, and then there's shooting craps at the table. What you're suggesting is more the latter.
Dak has faced all 32 teams. I don't think unproven is the word I'd use to describe him. Inconsistent and frustrating to watch at times, yes. But for the most part, he looks like a quality NFL QB and everything indicates he's about equal to Wentz, Goff, and Watson.- appointed franchise QBs by their respective teams.
