Anyone remember this quote from a few years ago? It still holds true.
"I don't know if any team in the league necessarily needs a No. 1 receiver," Prescott said via Pro Football Talk. "It's about getting the ball out, spreading the ball around, keeping the defense on its toes."

This is what has been drilled into Daks head since he came into the NFL. This is our style of football. From JG, to KM, and now from Big Mike. Spreading the ball around is all Dak can do. Distributing the ball to 10 different guys is why it doesn't make since to pay any WR big money in Dallas. Get ready guys, because if we still have the same philosophy in a couple of years, CeeDee will walk also. I love Coop, but he’s better off now to spend the rest of his career someplace where he is allowed to dominate at a WR1.

It's funny where Jerry sent him. It's like he's setting up to be proven right. Can't no WR sustain success in Cleveland.

Dak said that before the 2018 season after we released Bryant, and he did so well that year that we went out and traded for Amari (after 7 games without a "number one"). Look at the game logs. He averaged 202 yards passing per game, the team was 3-4. Apparently we needed a #1 then, and we will next year (though he could be on the roster in Lamb). Arguably the talent is better, but we will have to see what it looks like without Amari.

I have no problem with trading Amari given his salary, but to say that our previous experiment with no "number 1" receiver (based on Dak's statement prior to that season) was anything but a failure would be laughably wrong.

Yeah, when a QB can't throw, who needs a No.1 WR?

Dak is going to have to make it work with Noah Brown type WRs outside of #88, and many on this board have championed Dak so he should be ok.
