the notion that elite QBs jump over empire state building in one bounce, stop speeding trains and lift mountains is just that. a fantasy. all QBs need support and good team around them. its just that they can over come some short comings of the team and make more plays than non-elite QBs and make things happen when given good resources. would an Elite QB do better with our team? absolutely. so find me one. the fact that there is only about 6 of them in the past 20 years tells you how hard it is to find one.

Aaron Rodgers had trouble overcoming some of the shortcomings with the Packers. Despite all his league MVPs, he’s only been to one Super Bowl. His only championship came 12 years ago.

When we find the right one we won't have to debate as he will at least make it to a title game early in his career. Nearly all of the great ones do.

Yeah thats the thing, how many great ones have we seen? Is Purdy great? Stafford was he great? when you have singular focus on one position these facts get erased..without an ALL STAR cast around him what did Stafford achieve? I too would love to see Mahomes playing for us but the truth is for every Mahomes there are 20 Mitch Trubisky's to go through (the 20 number is probably way low )

Since their last Lombardi Trophy was hoisted at the conclusion of Super Bowl XXX, the Cowboys have yet to return to the NFC Championship Game, posting a dismal 0-7 mark in the Divisional Round. Three of those losses, including last season's defeat against the San Francisco 49ers, have come with Prescott under center, as he's become one of five QBs in the Super Bowl era to start three or more divisional tilts and go winless.

Who was the last to do so?

Well, it was current CBS analyst and former Cowboys QB1 Tony Romo, who Prescott succeeded in Dallas. The Cowboys are the only franchise with two quarterbacks to play in three or more Divisional Round games without winning one. Long gone are the days of Hall of Fame Cowboys greats Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, whose reputations were borne of playoff conquests and clutch play that saw them go 5-2 and 4-1, respectively, in the Divisional Round. Those days of Cowboys QBs captaining their squads to long postseason runs have ridden off into the sunset so far this century.

i think its both. we don't have a team that can succeed. we have had huge holes and weaknesses on the team that have been exploited by better teams in the playoffs. most fans here, can't wrap their head around a Team concept and thus their only thought is needing a Elite QB to help us win. Given last time we did it was with Aikman, it gives them stronger feeling that is the case. in past 20+ years, about a 1/3 of the team in superbowl didn't have elite QB.

Troy Aikman was a Hall of Fame QB, who had trouble winning games with the Cowboys when they had holes. His championships came with loaded teams with no holes. The same for Roger Staubach. Neither Romo or Dak has played for teams like they had. Those QBs not only had great offenses during their championship years, but they had great defenses as well.

100% I'm not saying that Romo/Dak are as good as Roger/Troy, I am saying its silly to judge the QB by team results achieved by teams that are named "Teams of the decade".. seriously

QBs are always going to be judged by team results just like head coaches. If you don’t win consistently, they’ll be replaced. That’s just the way it is in the NFL. The problem with Cowboy fans is they think Staubach and Aikman were the sole reason those teams they had won Super Bowls. No doubt they greatly contributed but those teams they had were loaded. However, when their teams had holes or they ran into a better team in the playoffs they lost. Staubach lost two Super Bowls to better Pittsburgh teams. Aikman struggled early in his career and later in his career because we didn’t have the teams. He got booed later in his career and fans wanted him replaced.

You have idiots who think Hall of Fame QBs grow on trees. Lol If it’s going to take a Hall of Fame QB to get the Cowboys over the hump, then this championship drought may last another 30 years. If a team has some holes, even a Hall of Fame QB isn’t going to get you over the hump. Look at Dan Marino, Warren Moon and Dan Fouts. Aaron Rodgers only has one championship. I don’t care who your QB is you need a solid team around them.

You also get the he’s no Mahomes posters. I argued for a couple of days with a fan that kept telling me we need to go find our Pat Mahomes as if that’s going to be easy. Not even Mahomes had answers for that Tampa defense a few years ago in the Super Bowl. If you have some holes that can be exploited by a better team it’s not going to matter who your QB is. It’s not going to be easy finding a QB that doesn’t have a few warts, so you have to build a solid team around your QB.
