I guess you’re saying there is more than one way to skin a cat. I just think it’s better to be proactive when possible. It’s obviously not always possible.
Its apparent that other teams have done it the same way, Isn't it quite obvious that Sam Darnold was not drafted to win a ring with the Seattle Seahawks, he made that long road over there, Same with Geno Smith resurrecting his career Also guys like Daniel Jones doing a lot better with the Colts Baker Mayfield gets ridiculously cut and ends up with the Buccaneers.
And I don't what's gonna happen to Mac Jones and Malik Willis but it looks like they're doing the same thing You don't always have to draft a guy you can go pick the guy up that was drafted and find a way to catch in a upswing in their developmental mode.
I mean we just talked about this tony Roma wasn't meant to be the starter he was an undrafted free agent turned out to be a franchise guy kurt Warner Hall of Famer undrafted Sam Darnold i'm gonna bring it up again He was brought over and want a ring in his first year with Seattle why can't the Cowboys do the same thing and I just gotta mention the two names brock Purdy is the starter for the 49ers they had no idea when they picked him last in the draft that that was gonna happen And Tom Brady 6th round pick to the GOAT..
Picks for Milton and guys like Trey Lance , Jerry doing the very same thing It may not workout but he's using some draft capital and taking a flyer on resurrecting one of these guys career or finish developing them..
So yes there's more ways to do it but this is not that unconventional it seems very conventional you either waste a draft pick directly in the draft or you use one indirectly and you make a trade or you just pick a guy up off the scrapheap and sometimes it works out..
A man's trash could be another man's treasure but yes when you're talking about trying to find the next starter for your team at quarterback which is very difficult you do it in every way..
Like you said above when it becomes a pressure need when Prescott is gone they will then use more resources but at least maybe they'll have a bridge guy by then..
So very conventional when you look around the league.. I mean Gino Smith may not be great to you but he is a bridge guy now he went from trash to starting for the Seahawks and playing very well then lost his job to Sam Darnold you see the irony there and then goes to the Raiders and doesn't have a good year but it probably wasn't all him and now he's starting for the Jets again full circle but he is a starter..
But he was thrown out as trash and now he's not so much trash now he's your bridge guy maybe to your other guy which you could still win with one of those guys..
Sometimes I will go on a tangent like this and I say a lot over and over it's very redundant in the same rant but I think that you miss the fact that this is something that the NFL does on a regular basis..
Yes it's one way to skin a cat, And if they need to in the event that Prescott leaves suddenly without a plan they can go get a bridge guy and then find their way through the draft to hopefully get a starter but they can trade for a guy just like Seattle did...
To me it seems like the Seattle Seahawks did not draft a single player in the last couple of decades that was good enough to start at quarterback So what they do they try to resurrect Geno Smith and they got pretty close they took a reboot and tried with Sam Darnold and won a ring why can't the Cowboys do that when it's time the Seattle Seahawks were sucked at drafting quarterbacks so they did it unconventionally in your opinion they skinned the cat got a ring and here we are...
Hopefully the Cowboys can do that with Prescott the next couple of years find their way into the Super Bowl by making their defense that good that's the key here let's fix the defense and stop worrying about the future quarterback let's worry about trying to get the current quarterback a ring before he has to leave..
