It sounds easy on paper - just draft another QB. Get one in round one, a sure thing...only it's not. About half of them are busts.
I remember the trade up into round two for Quincy Carter, the failed attempt to trade up into round one for Paxton Lynch, and Jerry being angry when the rest of the room said "no" to Johnny Football. And yet, even if the Cowboys win the SB this year (I doubt that happens, for several reasons) you still want to draft a QB and move on?
That's basically admitting nothing Dak might possibly do would ever be good enough for you. Fair enough.
Its not that easy and nobody says it is.
But QB is the most important position with the highest amount of cap bound to it. You dont run a successful team/franchise if you bind your faith to that. You try to be independent - especially on positions that are more important than others.
I know it was a running joke here but Garrett is right when he says "its a process". How you run a team/franchise is a philosophy. And you dont stop with your philosophy when you are successful with it. That would be stupid, wouldnt it ? So why stop drafting a new QB when you won a SB with the actual one ? Thats just prove your philosophy works. And you dont run this team for 1 SB or 1 year. You run it to have success for decades or as long as you are the GM/HC of this franchise.
So you of course draft QBs. And not one and then stop because you werent successfull. The draft is nothing certain. Expecting to be successful is the first mistake you can do (with JJ its an ego problem, we all know). The QB position is important, so draft and draft and draft. Spend every year at least one pick at the position. It doesnt need to be a high round pick every year. But draft one every year.
Why would there be college football and a draft if bringing up new talent wouldnt be so important ?
Draft QBs. Every year! Get rid of your starter if you found a better one. Be polite but get rid of him. The position is too important and too expensive to sit here in the end and have to spend big bugs on someone you knew from the start wasnt the answer.
