What happened to serious competition at the QB position? I can't remember in this century any QB competition in Dallas. I remember back when Jimmy had Aikman and Walsh and they actually competed for the starting job. To go back further, Roger Staubach and Craig Morrison were in serious competition. Seems like for the last 25 years, Jerry and his merry band of clowns have had their guy at QB, no need for competition.
Lance was a 3rd overall pick, was SF that far off? What is wrong with giving Lance an equal chance at beating out Dak this year? Maybe tell Dak, "hey we're going to give this guy Lance a serious chance to take your job". Why? "Because you suck in big games". Sometimes a player needs to be looking over their shoulder to put forth that 110% effort needed to win in the NFL.
OK maybe you didn't read this or haven't seen it there's been 95 quarterbacks drafted since 2016 when Prescott was drafted and only one of them has won a Super Bowl,
so you think somehow some backup some guy you didn't take high in the first round, that you bring in for competition or some backup you know a career backup, or a guy at the tail end of his career is going to come in and give Prescott; the second team all pro, second MVP voting, one of his best seasons he's ever had, and you think that he's going to win the job??
to what end? exactly how is it ending for you that this guy ends up making Prescott the highest paid backup ever??!!
you're going to be dumb like Denver and eat $60 million and dead cap money So what you can see some change you think that quarterback is going to get you to the playoffs 5 out of the 8 seasons he was healthy you think that quarterback is never going to be part of a losing season, a guy with one of the best touchdown interception ratios in the history of the NFL at this point, he's like ninth all time, not in Cowboys history, in the history of the NFL... even with 2022's uneven odd anomaly of interceptions he still had 25 touchdowns in 12 games , that guy??
you want him uprooted by who?? What other teams truly have a quarterback competition when they have a top five at worst top ten starting quarterback who just had his best season? why would you waste assets even the ones with Tom Brady they never saw the light of day and they end up having to trade those guys anyway that would be percent and garoppolo.
Prescott has a no trade clause no franchise tag clause and only one year left on his deal So what do you wanna be Denver and be dumb enough to trade a bunch of assets to get a quarterback like Prescott and then cut the guy for $85 million a record hit against the cap to only then look at trading more assets to move up in the draft to get a young guy who again see my first line of this statement to possibly maybe have a shot at a quarterback that can take you to higher levels?? There's no guarantee that that you can bring in a guy that can compete with Prescott and lose and now you wasted assets and time because it's probably not gonna happen there aren't many quarterbacks out there that can come in and beat Prescott I mean you would even be hard pressed to find the other five or six guys you might list that are already starters that are not available that even would have a shot at beating Prescott out for a job so you want what a fourth or fifth round draft pick or again bringing in some has been washed up career backup that you think this mid-level guy is gonna beat out Prescott then what you pay him I don't know what's the going rate 25,000,000 and then you eat Prescotts 60 million just to get rid of a quarterback that's probably better because it makes you feel better you don't like a guy so now he's gone and now you're have 85,000,000 invested at the starting quarterback position instead of 60, add rush and or lances money, and then now what are you going to do with your roster??
Do you all even think these things through? When it's time to replace Prescott you'll know it because the best time would be if we have a really bad season and we're picking in the top ten of the draft then you can maybe go move up and find a quarterback for a rookie deal because there aren't many bridge quarterbacks that might be Trey Lance. I mean I don't know what you're going to do when Prescott leaves but there is no blueprint to making sure we're not bad for the next five or six years looking for a quarterback that's even on Prescott's level....
I mean there aren't many teams that bring in quarterbacks that are actually have any chance in hell of uprooting the starter unless he gets hurt that's what the backup is for unless you have young guys like in New England they fought last year the last couple years and they still haven't found a quarterback they're teams like that all over that are unsure about the quarterback those are the ones that have true competitions...
