Best opportunity to find franchise QB

[JoeyBoy718]

We have a very good opportunity to find a franchise QB. Will we do it? Probably not.

What we should do:

Release Dak. Take advantage of a strong QB class and draft the best of who’s remaining (likely one of Bo Nix, Michael Penix, JJ McCarthy will still be available when we pick).

We’d go into the season with Trey Lance and a high-potential rookie competing for the starting job. Trey Lance would have his opportunity to prove why he was drafted #3 overall.

If we have a terrible season, we’d go into 2025 with a top pick where we could potentially draft the best QB in the next class.

This doesn’t guarantee we’d get the next Stroud/Love/Mahomes, but it would give us 2-3 high-potential QB prospects to find the best one to build around.

What’s the alternative? If we keep Dak, we likely don’t draft a Bo Nix and we likely don’t give Trey Lance a shot to prove himself. If Dak fails again, we won’t have a good pick. We wouldn’t find any cheap vets better than Dak (best we could get is a Carson Wentz).

Dak is not being released. It's ludicrous to even think that is remotely plausible.

 

[NDGAEDE]

I like that idea.

If only.

Sadly, I think both Dak and Mike ride out their contract. And we start again next year.

Then we’re wasting a great opportunity. The QB 2024 draft class is gonna give a few teams a bright future. And we’ll be kicking ourselves again watching guys like Stroud and Love advance in the playoffs.

Probably right

But it’s the first time in a long time that the health of the brand that Jerry values so much is probably dependent on cutting ties with a marquee player.

Fan enthusiasm, and hopefully spending, will not be there until this whole thing is shaken up.

In today’s NFL, you don’t need 10 years to rebuild. Look at Detroit, Green Bay, Houston, Philly twice, San Fran, etc. But it’s a gamble. Jerry’s ego is too big to take the gamble.

Option 1: Burn it all down. Hire a young coach. Find a young franchise QB. Maybe be great in 2 years. Maybe need to do it all again in 2 years. Option 2: Hire a legacy coach. Sign a vet to build around Dak. Potentially get blown out in the wildcard round by a team that did Option 1.

Look around the modern NFL. Teams that are successful are teams that identify their weak spots and pivot fast. They follow the try fast fail fast model which makes sense, you want to know as fast as possible if what you have is the real thing and then pivot. You are going to see Philly do just that with Hurts.

Why?
What will we miss the dog wins or playoff success????
Cap is no reason as we gain 34 million and need to spread out over 2 years the 59 million.
Again................WHY?????

 

[IAmLegend]

Lol stop it. Dak aint goin anywhere.

 

[Whirlwin]

It’s time for Jerry to Moxie up, and do what needs to be done.

He won't. Jerry still thinks he can win with Dak.

No it's not!! Anything can happen

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I have a feeling that the ship has sailed on Dakko.
And a valid feeling, being what we've seen the last 3 playoff games.

 

[1972COWBOY]

Just a thought, It has to be quite awkward to keeps saying Here We Go while getting your *** kicked.

 

[unionjack8]

You cannot continue to do the same thing over and over.

New HCs
New OCs
New DCs

And we're still in the same situation.

Moving on from Dak is the ONLY logical step

 

[RodeoJake]

Dak will be traded before he's released. Still, I don't think either will happen. Although, a change in scenery might be best for Dak and the Cowboys.

Tell that to Denver….

 

[75boyz]

If ever there was a year to invest our usual second round throw away pick on a QB it would be this year.

Heck, who knows what the front office braintrust will be thinking at their first round pick even.

But if we stay the same at QB and stay the same at HC then we will remain stuck in this middle ground we've been in for close to 30 years now with no clear alternatives for future improvement.

It's like ya know the ending to each season regardless of how the front office tries to sell it as being "this year will be different."

Nope, these fans are so delusional they will believe whatever hype JJ spews out in the offseason and once again think this is the year. 28 years and counting.

Lost in the sheer disgust in the Dallas crapshow is how impressive Jordan Love looks. The dude looks like a young Aaron Rodgers... It's just sickening how GB somehow continues to pull this off at the QB position.
