first off we will not get TL , the jest are on the clock..

so back to reality,

you have to consider many options not just dak, we need a lot and that and understatement, elite Defenders to just get this defense back to mediocre..hard to win with a historically bad defense.

so ive said this a few times this week, we do NOT have to take a Fields at 2 just because hes there, saying hes Herbert is also just guessing, you can have busts more then hits in top 10 QBs, so that not an automatic and Mm and the Jones have a lot to ponder this offseason. daniel jones, rosen, winston, or Darnold and that recent Qbs our pick could end up..

My best hypothetical plan is do both if we pick top 3,

trade down grab 2-3 more picks still pick around 10-15 grab Trask/ND QB and still get targeted defenders late first and added 2nd with trades.

Then STILL Non exclusive FT Dak, see if he will actually play under the tag and not hold out, if he chooses to holdout you then trade him for more picks..if he signs a team friendly long term deal, great we develop our QB we just picked and have Dak LT or on the tag either way it could work..


so believe very little of what said in public..doesnt mean MM isnt pushing for the scenario like im describing. Another QB like Trask or kid from ND around 10-12 and still have plenty of high picks for defense..

if its planned accordingly we have many options at our disposal for QB and defense. picking Fields at 2 is Not one of the better options IMO..the opportunity you describe in front of out faces is creating leverage and getting it All by trading down....
That’s got to be one of the most intelligent takes of heard on the situation, that’s why it won’t happen..... and in this years draft the Dallas Cowboys take Taco Charlton, just think we could’ve had the Johnny kid, oh what was his name. Instead My kid tells me we have to take some boring guard named Zack something.

I step away from this one.
He should have been an English teacher instead of a truck driver. Ha

I thought that was the first rule in texting , twitling, etc that proper grammar and spelling wasn’t strictly enforced.

First off, let me say that I like Dak Prescott, I think he is a very good, not great, QB, and even the Dakaters have to notice the team with and without him which is exactly my point. The team needs someone better at that position unless you believe this team's management is capable of doing something they haven't done in decades, build a team around a QB.

They haven't done it with Prescott as well as his predecessor and even admitted that, failed to build around Romo. The fact that they lucked into both of these QB's should also be considered.

There are two questions regarding Trevor Lawrence, three if you consider why he doesn't become an English actor with that name. But the main two are is he better than what the Cowboys have now and what will it take to get him away from the two teams, JAX and NYJ, that have him in their sights?

Now, we must also consider the considerable team that Swinney has built around Lawrence, just as he did Watson. That must be taken into account when considering Fields as well.

But for the sake of argument and this thread, Lawrence is a better QB now than Prescott has developed into and he has nothing but upside. He is the first QB since P. Manning to deliver on being the most highly recruited QB in his class. If you don't agree with this, then this thread doesn't make sense to you but I have watched a lot of Lawrence play the position and consider him the real deal.

The second question is a tough one because if the Cowboys do not end up with the 1st pick, trading up for it will be very expensive in draft capital. If that can even be done. JAX ends up with that and they'd have a hard time passing on Lawrence since he's played in the neighborhood and if they're in that position, we'll see the same response as we saw from the CIN fans when the season became all about Burrow.

OK, you can let me have it now but I just don't think Prescott is good enough to lift this team beyond a mid level team. They ranked #1 in offense and we're 8-8 and what did they look like this season with Prescott at the helm? Is it a risk? Absolutely, but isn't giving Prescott a 4 or 5 X 35-40M a year even a bigger risk when you consider who the team builders are?

This is not about Dak Prescott, I think there are teams he could take to the Big Dance. This is about trying to overcome what's been holding this team back for two and half decades, management.

And if you want to consider something else, this HC had one of the best QB's in the history of the NFL and the most accurate one I have ever seen and he could only get one ring and ended up canned and that team doing better without him.

McC has this rep as a QB guru but who wouldn't with those QB's? The better the QB, the better the guru.

All comes down to one simple question. Do you want more of the same or do you want to take a chance? This is about change but what needs to be changed, management, will not so what's the next best thing?


i thought this article on Tank Lawrence---cowboys need to stop guaranteeing contracts to players that are sub par......tank , Zeke, Jaylon smith to name 3...if we could dump em and get the 45 million a year back...but we cant

I ask you the same question, is the wins and losses all credited and blamed on Dak? yes/no?

everything you just said and regurgitated like the 7 or 8 of you keep doing has been debunked multiple times....
The Dak lovers sure gives credit to a Dak for all the wins. They never want their boy to get credit for the loses though.

If you get the 1st pick you draft Lawrence it’s not even a debate.

You don’t pass on an Elway, Peyton Manning, Luck QB prospect or you might as well pack up shop.


We won’t get the 1st pick tho, so won’t be an issue.

If you break the rules then must be held accountable. Same rules apply to everyone. I’ve had my hand slapped as well.
There wad a 60's song entitled "big girls don't cry" captain queeg was called old yellow stains by his crew.

So your grieving someone called you on breaking the rules. You think you should be allowed to do as you wish without consequences.

True , we won’t get the first pick but does the Jets dangle that first pick for trade bait. Especially with one or two other 1st round QB’s sitting there.

I guess the positive is since Fields will go 2 and if we do get the 3rd pick we’re getting the best non QB prospect in the draft.

I never break the rules. I just have disdain for middle aged hall monitors. Such behavior should be outgrown by the second grade. Do you not agree?

What do you think Dak would bring in a trade?

Would NY or Jax take Dak and our 1st round pick?
They'd be loco to do so. They get lawrrnce at a fraction of the price. Not to mention they'd also have first pick in subsequent rounds.

That is the thirty six million dollar question? As a team, if they want to lose, see ya. the word is TEAM...not QB.

Of course you have. We all have to some extent. Unfortunately we need hall monitors all throughout life to keep the peace.

I’d probably run an occasional red light if not for the hall monitors watching camera. And imagine if we didn’t have IRS to keep us all in check on our taxes. The examples are endless .

And in social media we need hall monitors to prevent false statements presented as truths and basically everyone held in check and accountable.

A world without rules and laws is every man for himself. Civilization needs someone to protect and serve the public.

No, I’m saying we’d give our 1st round pick and Dak for Lawrence.

Basically we move up a spot or two giving up Dak.I’d consider throwing in Zeke or Cooper.

I know. That's why i said the team with the first pick would be loco to give lawrence away for a 35-40 million qb and a lower first round pick.

This is a moot point, we are not going to pass the Jets for the number one overall pick and if he is indeed as good as you say he is, why would the Jets trade away from him and not take him for themselves?
