For all the Missed, Busted, injury riddled ,troubled and just plain out bad picks the Cowboys have been through. Especially the 2nd round gems...I shutter! The Football Gods smiled on this pick. Try as they might to pass over Dallas was granted perfect timing.
One of the most important positions on any team was fulfilled. In this league no QB equals not a chance.
The big difference for me last year was teams having to respect the fact that Dak might and will make you pay with his feet. Let's take a look.
Dak Prescott in (1) season 282 yds rushing from scrimmage 21 first downs and 6 TDs
Tony Romo in (11) seasons 620 Yds from scrimmage 45 first down and 5 TDs
QBR? Dak Prescott 82.7 Tony Romo ( Best year) out of 11 was 81.8 in 2014 (Disclaimer the 3 for 4 this year is not a body of work..lol)
All i'm saying is.....we can grumble about A-Z but this kid is good.
Romo has been a top 5-7 QB in the NFL for at least the last 6-7 years if not longer. Yet we have done almost nothing in terms of a real championship push. That should tell us several things:
1. The FO lucked into a QB but makes poor decisions in the draft and FA
2. The FO does not understand that we will need a real defense to truly contend consistently
3. We will need to spend real resources on top players and taking flyers on talented but injured, stupid players with poor work ethic is not a recipe for success
4. Even a very very good QB needs a talented team around him or We'r going nowhere
5. The coaching staff does not know how to put players in a position to win
All of this tells us that we may have lucked out with Dak but just having a good QB does not guarantee anything except that we will be "relevant". We need to do a lot of work and I have little faith that this FO has a plan or the vision to execute it
