News: Fox: Cowboys shouldn't focus on quarterback during 2021 draft, Troy Aikman says

[Whirlwin]

Of course we shouldn’t consider drafting a quarterback it’s not going to help this franchise. There’s too many other issues starting with Jerry and the head coach

 

[Philmonroe]

Because we know what we have with Dak, we have no idea if Lawrence's college ability will translate to the NFL (so very many don't), and picking a QB with our first selection means one less high defensive pick. (possibly more, if we have the option of trading that pick for multiple slightly lower picks)

Yeah we do know what we have with Dak. Inflated stats and more 8-8/9-7 type season ahead even when the D wasn't that bad. Big flipping deal. Folks just want to be average smh.

He's not the best, but he's somewhere in the top 10, which is plenty good enough, with a decent defense.

 

[Bullflop]

The determination of a QB is far from the most demanding resolution of this team's needs. If we're determined to resolve this team's issues, there are other ones significantly more demanding. Aside from our personal preferences, the Dallas FO has already indicated what their intentions are. I expect that Troy Aikman is keenly aware of that fact. Bolstering a needy defense should command the Dallas management's attention, first and foremost.

Cowboys shouldn't focus on quarterback during 2021 draft, Troy Aikman says

The Dallas Cowboys have struggled all season long and being without Dak Prescott is making things tougher.

Read Full Story

Blimey! Dak is run of the mill. He wants $45 mil.
Big money, blokes, and if Jerry is gullible enough, god bless Dak's pursuit of 2.8 mil per game (based on a 16-game season).
Really?
Dak hovers in the stratosphere as an average QB. Nothing to write home about.
A Trevor Lawrence, on the other hand, would come in relatively cheap and his kind is a once in a decade type of player.
What is there to think about?
Dak, a rehabbing, awkward average QB who throws behind his receivers and at their feet?
OR
TL, young, cheap talented over the moon kid who will get better every game?

 

[Havic]

Say Lawrence falls us. We need to be taking someone's 1 this year and 1 + 3rd next year minimum

lol.. I’d hate to move on from Dak and all the success he brings to the franchise.

I’d hate to miss out on a wildcard win every 5 years after we finally put a great team around him.

Me good lad. Are you being sarcastic, facetious?
I don't know how to read your response.
Oh, you are among me favorites here.

Lol

 

[Diehardblues]

The Daksters will be out in full force bashing Aikman. Lol

He has 3 Rings. Is he qualified to offer his analysis. Ha

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Why would selecting Lawrence not make sense?

It would not make sense in Bizarro world.
"Trevor Lawrence is great Quarterback. Good thing we dislike him. DiNucci is bad, we like him better."

 

[CATCH17]

Imagine Troy Aikman publicly coming out and saying the Cowboys should go get Trevor Lawrence..

What good does that do him?

 

[Corso]

Why would they bash Aikman? Seemed like he was supporting their cause. Maybe I read it wrong?

 

[blueblood70]

He's not the best, but he's somewhere in the top 10, which is plenty good enough, with a decent defense.

what are you as a fake gm willing to pay Dak for being "Good Enough" thats the issue sure you can win with him but we might be talking 37-40mil for good enough

however troys right ONLY if we arent taking Lawrence,,i dont think the gaps big enough between Fields and the next guys like Trask ec..so we trade down stay in top 10 maybe grab trask or similar plus get all the defenders we want, Non exclusive Tag Dak if hes still trying to be non team friendly, if he plays great we develop our draft pick if he holds out we seek trades and start the new era..have a boat load of picks for 2022 and jettison the big contracts for 2022 and really be like a 2016 reboot..

lots of options are great. If Lawerence is there well you should consider him no doubt

 

[OmerV]

He must have joined the "Dak Mafia".

He must feel the Cowboys should make Dak an offer he can't refuse.

 

[Philmonroe]

He's not the best, but he's somewhere in the top 10, which is plenty good enough, with a decent defense.

We've had a decent defense every year but this year and we see where he's gotten. The d was top half of the league most of the time he's been here so that's not it.

 

[ItzKelz]

Would be the worse draft pick in Cowboys history if they drafted a QB that is possibly can't miss but for sure unproven....when they have a QB that is clearly proven. Especially with so many obvious holes and a player or 2 that look like they are pass their prime.

 

[Diehardblues]

Your right. I misread it. I thought it said “ should” . Not shouldn’t . I was just driving by. My bad!!
