But he was 2nd pick, mahomes 12th pick and dak is a 4th rounder.....so goes your logic

You are obviously bamboozled. You can't answer so you avoid and then your go to move, drop name Mahomes....
You might hit and you might not in the 1st round. That's the chance you take. You could draft Burrow, Allen, Herbert, or Mahomes or you could draft Turbiskey.

If you go looking for your QB in the 4th though you're not likely to hit at all.

Surely you understand how the draft works, right? The talent is at the top and you hope to just find back ups later on. If not for a couple injuries in 2016 and Dak is selling cars right now.

Ugh I still can’t believe Chicago traded up for Trubisky.

And that's called probabilities....

And outside of QB, some players may lack in certain areas and need development. Some do. Some don't. Probability of a first rounder succeeding is higher but not absolute. Some who are not deemed as.complete go lower rounds.

After a few years the round you are drafted is irrelevant.

And I have said it before. I am notnopposed to Cowboys drafting a QB in first two rounds. We should have done it in Daks 3rd year. Develop them if you would. Either trade bait or give you leverage in negotiations.

That's not Daks fault. That stupiditynis solely on the GM/owner.

And with that I’m checking out. I’ll take a look from time to time, but no responses. All the best to everyone. Good health and happiness.

Last time I checked as fans we have no choice in the matter when it comes to who we hitch our wagon to at any position including coaching staffs, front office and ownership.

We are Dallas Cowboy fans . For better or worse. If we have to root for Jethro Jones then we can root for Prescott or Romo. If I was going to blame any one person for the lack of more success this era I’d look to the one constant up in the sky box. They ultimately control who we hitch our wagons too.

We are Dallas Cowboy fans which means we root for everyone with a Star on their helmet for better or worse . If your entire existence as a fan in a forum is to establish their QB is the lone cause for less success then you’re obviously going to be confronted with resistance. And once you’ve made that argument then continuing day after day week after week year after year regurgitating as such becomes a trolling type effort.

The fact we currently hold the longest futility streak in NFL history for Divisional around appearances without a win is a direct responsibility of our leadership not any one player.

As a matter of fact if I was to analyze this lack of playoff success this era I’d argue that these less than Elite QB’s of the 4th rd/ undrafted nature have actually uplifted a poorly ran franchise which otherwise wouldn’t have had this much success.

And why perspective is important. Look at some of the early round draft picks our Dumbbutt owners were looking to make in Manziel, Lynch along with some 2nd round picks of Cook and Carter which we made.

No, Romo and Prescott may not have enough but where would this mediocre franchise this era been without them . That’s the really scary part. It is what it is. This is not the same championship caliber franchise we all grew up. Would we love to have an Elite QB like Mahomes, etc, of course but last time I checked none of us are in the War Room.

Of the three games Dak played I would only blame him for the game last season against the 49ers. The defense blew both the Rams and Packers games. You could blame Romo for the Giants game because Eli clearly out played him but Minnesota was a better overall team and the Dez caught it game was ridiculous.
The SF loss was a team one. Pollard injury was huge. Zeke drop in the redzone huge. Diggs brain cramp huge. Shultz was terrible. Zero confidence in the K. It wasn’t Dak’s loss.

The reason people blame Dak for the last one is because they think it only would’ve taken 19 points to beat the 49ers. But had Dak played better 49ers would’ve scored more points than 19….maybe they also would’ve had some turnovers too if we’d catch them. Who knows.

ALMOST found one of the other 3. Erik Kramer had 2 divisional round exits. Close but no cigar… the hunt goes on

Edit: Lamar Jackson had 2 as well! Dang

MountainCowboy, the likelihood of the Cowboys drafting a Mahomes even after Dak is gone is highly unlikely. It's just historically not something I would expect from the Cowboys, and mathematically a huge crapshot. Just let this fantasy go, man.
We’d all love to have a Mahomes type QB . Unfortunately as fans we have no control.

Look at some of the 1st round QB’s we have looked at like Manziel and Lynch. These dumbbutt owners stumbled on to Romo and Prescott or this era would have resembled more of the Quincy Carter years.

We can all root that someday Jethro and Son will draft another Staubach, etc but until then this is who we are. All we can do is try to win with what we have and do the best we can. That’s what real fans do.

Alex Smith
Alex was SF’s starter when Eli beat them in the 2011 NFCCG to go to their second SB. Kaepernick didn’t take his job until the next year.

I don’t know if Jeff Garcia counts. He had 1 for SF, 1 for PHI, and then was a backup on Houston when they lost in the divisional round
