You sound crazy. Why didn’t the Cowboys make Weeden, Cassel or Kellen Moore famous?
Well it is complicated, so I doubt you would understand it.
But you do make a valid point so......... None of the guys you mention had the same team dak walked into.
They also were older and not as good as dak. None of them could run with the ball. Kellen just didnt have the size , arm or legs for the game.
They were all before elliot and the best years of the OL.
Dak is good, not as good as some think, but he is better than those guys.
Dak had elliot in his rookie year, the only real good year for elliot, and that year the OL was really good.
They went 13-3.
After that elliot suspended , and not as good, and Dak has dropped to a 9-7 season avg for the last 3 years.
He was center stage with the cowboys and had the great 1st year due to elliot and OL, and that made him famous,
and since then he and the team have been avg .
Had he been drafted by another team, he might not have even got a chance to start in 16, and maybe just wound up being a bkup for 4 years.
Or maybe he gets a shot at starting, but on a team not as good, and then he has a couple 9-7 seasons.
So then he would not be some hotshot wanting 35-40 mil right now.
