Correct... but you arent drafting a 3,4,5th round qb and giving them any significant playing time until your starter goes down. Dak IS good enough to win a SB... a one off type thing, maybe strike gold like Eli and get 2. But in the season Eli didnt hit lightning in a bottle, the Giants sucked. We are rarely in a position to draft for the "sure thing," QB out of college... so we arent getting a Payton Manning any time soon. That means you have to absolutely 100% LUCK OUT and draft a QB and pray it works out. Are you willing to draft a qb with the 20th pick and miss out on drafting a Micah Parsons or Zack Martin to draft a qb that is going to be your backup until an injury happens?
Getting that qb is damn hard... and quite frankly is all luck. If it werent so hard, it wouldnt have taken the dolphins 30 years to replace Marino.
Im not really blasting the Cowboys.... I just see that the salary cap works really well. It keeps teams moving up and down the ladder of success from year to year.... unless you have one of those top QBs. Then you are somewhat in the hunt each year. The Giants are a perfect example. Won a playoff game last year... this year, one of the worst teams in the league. By the way... the Giants are really the same team as last year. Only last year they were lucking out and winning VERY CLOSE games. This year, they are losing those same games.
