You have 3 options

[ScalperX]

You are now Jerry Jones. You get to choose between these 3 options. Which one are you choosing?

1. Draft a QB? You spend every available resource moving up in the draft to get your guy... that blue chip QB. You hope we luck into a Mahomes type QB. You know the chances of getting an elite QB is extremely low but you believe we can't win a Super Bowl without one. You're willing to do this every 4 years until we find "that guy". I say every 4th year because we will be giving up future draft picks (plus we will need a couple years to see if the guy we drafted is any good).

2. Sign a FA QB? These guys don't come around often and are usually older QBs at the end of their careers. You might get one that still has some gas left in the tank (Russell Wilson/Matt Stafford). Most of them will probably require a stacked team around them to make any noise in the playoffs. They will more than likely come with a hefty price tag. These guys also tend to pick teams that they think are a QB away from winning it all (which makes it even more difficult getting a very good/elite one).

3. Build an elite team around Dak? You go the 49er/Titan route. You build out the trenches. You need an elite defensive line, offensive line, and a strong run game to win it all with a mid tier QB. You hope Dak improves with age. You get coaches in here that know his limitation's and schemes around his strengths. The downside of this is it could end up similar to the Romo years with a lot of talent wasted and a couple playoff wins.

Dak is your QB, Get over it. It's not going to change anytime soon.

 

[Ranched]

Non of the above!

I sell the team immediately.

= happy fan base

 

[charron]

1. Always be drafting and developing players including the most important and expensive position.
2. No reason to sign another QB while also paying Dak, you can not afford 2 high priced guys.
3. You should always be trying to build an elite team around any QB.

3 is the only and best option. You can get rid of Dak in three years anyway.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Option 3 is not an option if I'm Jerry. We're not winning with Dak.

I'm going Option 1, and while suffering through Daks contract you get as close as you can to Option 3 by the end of Dak's contract for the hopefully "blue chip" QB that's been waiting to take over. If the draft pick is not ready or not what you thought he was then you go the option 2 route.

Either way, in 3 years, we need to have a new QB with a solid foundation in place. The next 3 years need to be devoted to building that solid foundation.

who is that Blue chip QB? this year's draft doesn't have any....and plus you are stuck with this one for the next 2,3 years...so why waste a 1st round pick on a QB, that either is going to sit on the bench or you have a 40M QB who sits on the bench.....makes no sense

which FA QB is available. what are you going to do with Dak and the 80M cap hit. this is financially not realistic. Russell is not cheap. neither is stafford. you assumption is either would want to come here....this is not financially possible. perhaps in your Madden NFL it might be... real world. not so much

the last option is all we have left realistically. go back to 2016.....build the OL again. FA and Draft. make Pollard the featured back. spend rest of resources on defense...Niners are in the NFCCG again. the formula works.

4. Fire myself.

I'm going with option 4.

 

[G2]

This isn't hard.
1). Replenish the O line before it gets even worse. remember how long Romo had to pull off Houdini moves because the O line was lacking?
2). Regardless of feelings, loyalty and salary, get a handful of RBs that don't have ligament damage and who can run 20-30 times a game, even if it's a pile of players.
3). Get a OC or light a fire under Moore to utilize the run game.
4). Get a legit fatty at 1 technique and another solid S.

I think the only option is #3. Drafting a QB in the first round is not going to improve the team. This is not a great year for QBs to begin with, but also he will sit on the bench while Dak plays. So you deprived the team of a 1st round pick for nothing.

Option 2 is not going to work either. First, you have no money to sign a good QB. If you do use what little CAP money you have on a QB, you may have to allow some of your own free agents walk which weakens the team elsewhere. Dak is not getting cut, there is no CAP save from trading him or cutting him. They are stuck with him so the best option is to do what you can to make the team better and then design the game plans around a balanced offense where Dak does not cave to carry the team.

I like this plan better anyway. If They can build around a dominant offensive and defensive lines then even if the QB gets hurt you still have a chance to win. Plus, in 2024 when Dak's contract is up the last two years are voided and you can get out of the deal and get a cheaper option at QB.

IMO, I think Dallas needs a better OC than Kellen Moore. I think we found out this year that Moore is not innovative enough for the 21st century NFL. I have seen enough of the poor blocking scheme, poor route designs and poor play calling to move on from the little boy genius.

3 is most likely going to be what happens but you don't need to close the door on the other 2 should something crazy happen in draft or FA. Jerry has linked this franchise to Dak just like he did with Romo and unless we find out that Dak has some sort of injury issue he isnt going anywhere. Now that said i aint opposed to sitting 40 million on the bench but that isnt Jerrys MO

Dak is here to stay, everyone has to realize this as Jerry is never going to admit he was wrong on Dak, the only true option at this point is get a coach that plays and game plans to Dak's strengths, kind of like what Josh McDaniel's did with Tebow. The talent level around Dak is very good and there isn't any top Offensive players or Defensive players signing at league minimums just to play for Jerry. Cowboys would draft a Josh Allen or Rodgers type even if they were available to pick, Dallas isn't picking any player to challenge Dak and hurt his feelings, that's not the Jerry way.

This thread is satire. Most on here understand that option 3 is the only option. Option 1 and 2 are unrealistic, but you still have people on this forum thinking 1 and 2 can be done.
