Why do you have to rebuild?
Not paying for the QB who isn’t elite gives you more money to spend on the overall team.
What Dallas is doing is not working at all. Like at all.
you said, having an elite type QB is key. so if in 3 years you realize you don't, then you go drafting. perhaps you draft anyway and just switch. No rookie has ever won a superbowl. rarely a sophmore. so every 4 or 5 years, do you extend any of the existing players? do you go drafting, you get into this constant experimentation mode of looking for a QB. not saying don't. having a good/elite type QB makes it easier to make a run, but what if you have an Allen or Herbert or Lawrence type? do you give up after 3,4 years? do you not extend Purdy since you went to CCG and a superbowl? do you cut a Lamar Jackson, who is 2-4 in the playoffs. one loss less than Dak. Would you not extend Hurts?
and I disagree on Money. Money hasn't been the issue. Dak's cap hit over the past three years has be 26, 19, 17. less than the 10% threshold many around here throw around. Not saying Dak is good/bad or worth it or not. just that the cap is easily manipulated and at some point everyone pays the price and takes dead cap money and actually rebuilds.
I agree, what Dallas is doing isn't working. when the GM puts a couple of 210 lb players at LB. when the DL sucks. when we get a back up having to play starting RB, when we hand out large contracts to two injured players. when he made the culture into a zoo. lacking focus on winning and football. I doubt if we had Mahomes, we would win anything. he would get sucked into the frey. there is no Jesus QB who is going to come with the holy water and save the cowboys.
