Replacing him with an equal caliber QB would not be "easy" but it wouldn't be hard either. Maybe the Texas Coast offense will be better for him.
Don't have to replace Dak with an equal caliber QB.

Replace him with a better *value* QB, and use the extra resources left over to build a better overall team.

Dak Prescott once again finds himself in elite company

Dak Prescott
Dak is the only one on that list of QBs who has never made it to a conference title game let alone a Super Bowl. The other 4 have won at least one SB each.

It is also poor form to cherry pick a stat to claim it ranks Dak above Tom freakin Brady.

We’d all love to have an Elite qb . Unfortunately there’s not enough to go around 32 teams .

Most franchises have to settle for much less and try and build around the best they can.

I'll bite. Ungrateful for what exactly? All those playoff wins and SB appearances the last 27 years? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but we fans have earned every right to gripe. I think 90% are fine with Dak and think he can win. I think you need tio give the vast majority of fans more credit. We are informed. My issue has been the situational play calling. Lets see if we fixed it. We are lucky 2 have Dak because its hard finding even a middle of the road QB ,let alone, a guy that can flash at times like him.
We are not lucky to have Dak… We are very unlucky … he’s a guy good enough to hold on to his spot, but not good enough to ever take us to a championship. Guys like him can only win in their first contract… When they use up a small portion of the the cap so you can build a great team around them.

He's not anywhere near Romo as a talent.

You think Prescott could make Laurent Robinson look like a quality NFL WR? Spare me.
Romo made steak out of a lot of hamburger.

So many players that Romo got production out of simply evaporated w/o Romo throwing them the ball. Escobar couldn't make it in semi-pro ball. Dunbar. TWill. Hurd. Austin.

Dez is not Dez w/o Romo. Certainly was never Dez with Dak.

I think Robinson had something before and after Romo. But under Romo, that something turned into a pace for pro bowl production.

The only guy who looked decent post Romo was Crayton, and that for Rivers, a largely equivalent QB in terms of elevating the players around him.

Cowboys have a great team with Daks contract.

Dez would’ve looked great regardless IMO he got held back here. If he had Aaron Rodgers he would’ve broken records. Miles Austin was also good he had hamstring issues. I don’t remember guys like Dunbar or Escobar even being good with Romo lol.

You are running to hide the facts truthfully as to performance. A win is by a team...try again.

Not good enough. Probably the third or fourth best team in the NFC … with an extra 30 million in 2023 contracts we would be a great team.
How so? We have 20 million on cap space right now we aren’t using. But tell me with a extra 30 who would we have signed to make us great?
