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.
It is kind of convenient that you go back the last 50 QBs, because the draft class the year before #50 was Lamar, Josh Allen, Mahomes in 2017. Why not just go all the way back to 2016?
It's not just "biggest moments" with Dak; it's against squads with winning records, especially on the road. He's been successful in his country club atmosphere at AT&T Stadium but when he gets raddled on the road he's almost uncompetitive; it's hard to watch and frankly embarrassing.
I'm okay with at least TRYING to find another guy, even if they keep drafting a QB every year in the mid rounds. I don't see much difference with Prescott and players like Cousins, Goff, Hurts, etcetera. Wait until Dak leaves and heads to another team; he won't be able to hold a starting job for long. The FO has done a good job of giving him a GOOD ENOUGH team with the cap number he has. When your defense gives up 19 points in the playoffs vs SF, you should win that game 8/10 times. Prescott was atrocious and embarrassing. He was embarrassing against Green Bay and against Miami and Buffalo this year. He doesn't play well against the competitive teams in the league, and it always catches up to the Cowboys in the playoffs.
