List of Qbs who won their first Super Bowl with the team that drafted them that were older than Dak

[Jayinem]

Bart Starr
Johnny Unitas
Phil Simms
John Elway

Actually Phil Simms was 31. Dak will also be 31 by the time the next season starts. So if he doesn't win it next season, then we're talking about 3 Qbs in the history of the NFL.

Bart Starr and Unitas only count because they were over 30 when the Super Bowl was invented. They both had NFL Championships before then.

Also true. So you could argue if Dak doesn't win it next season, it's only Elway.

Elway at least lead his team to 3 Super Bowls that they lost before winning 2.

And Elway won three conference championships in his 20s. His teams were just overmatched in those Super Bowls.

 

[Jayinem]

Most teams don't keep the same Qb from draft day into their 30s with such little playoff success. Even if they were the #1 overall pick.

The Cowboys are literally fighting against history with Dak at this point.

You answered your own point.

So lets review. Starr and Unitas did win.. we just didn't have a superbowl.. but they won the highest title available to them.
Elway had won to conference championships. Simms was a late starter.. and won the SB in his 7th season as QB.

By any measure.. any at all. Dak would make history if he had success now.

Literally in terms of age, games, time at one franchise.. just every single metric.. history shows that if you haven't got to a championship game at least.. you ain't a winner.

I th8nk it would benefit Dak and DC to part ways TBH

To highlight how big of a loser Dak is.

And he is the only loser?

Yes

There's a 5-year window for starting QBs with the same team. History has shown that if it doesn't happen within the first 5 years, it's usually not going to happen. Dak's window expired in 2021 (I even gave him an extra year due to the ankle injury).

No way Dak should be starting his 9th season in a row here.

We all know Dak ain’t winning a Super Bowl with Dak

Jerry knows it to

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Yes

Then you are a lost soul if you think Dak is the only thing that ails this team.

Heal yourself. You are obsessed. That's not healthy.

 

[Jayinem]

Jerry kept Romo for 14 seasons (2 playoff wins like Dak) and Carrot Top for a decade, so buckle in. We're keeping Dak and McCarthy for a lot longer.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Yes

Then you are a lost soul if you think Dak is the only reason we have failed.

You are obsessed. That's not healthy. Heal yourself
