Oh no! There are no other QBs we can pursue! Jerry is the kind of GM that would’ve signed Nick Foles to a 7 year deal after he won SB MVP in 2018. A smart front office knows when to fricking move on and find their next guy. MOVE ON FROM STAT PADDER.
Not totally against that plan but it wont be this year.
And you will do it with 2 guys wanting to be paid at the highest of their positions when you do try to find a replacement.
And lost a top 10 QB for a R3 comp pick.
Its bad all the way around.
A bunch of people have convinced themselves there is some easy road here. There isn't.
Dak has a higher win % than either Romo or Aikman. Calling him a stat padder is just dumb.
He just hasn't been good enough to win in the biggest moments. but he's also NEVER had the best team around him.
Good teams. Good enough win more in the playoffs than he has but never had SB talent.
The front office has been very conservative in talent acquisition.
And yes QB money has gotten crazy.
But there are 20 NFL teams starting far worse players.
Of the last 50 QBs drafted 1 is clearly better than Dak: Joe Burrow.
A small handful are as good or could develop into better: CJ Stroud, Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts.
Most of the rest are already bounced by the teams who drafted them or have supremely lost the shine of 1 overall like Kyler and Trevor.
A QB journey may take 2 or 3 swings and 3 or 4 seasons.
Be real with yourself about that.
