You mean to tell me it's going to be hard to find another QB. We didn't even have to use a premium pick as they call it to get a QB. We've actually gotten lucky with our last two QBs of this team. Yes it would be hard to replace someone who has developed from the 4th round/being undrafted, but anything is possible. Let's not make this harder than what it needs to be. Please give your thoughts

We didn't get "lucky" as neither QB can/could get us anywhere. All we've done with these two QBs is waste 20 years.

The fact that they can't be replaced bothers me more, we did it with minimal resources!!

Look at Green Bay.
Favre, Rodgers and possibly Love.

Then look at Chicago, or the Browns. Decades of poor QB play or squandering a potentially good QB on a bad team.
Or Miami, who had Marino, then 2 decades of crap, some potential and who knows how good Tua can be.

Dallas has gotten "lucky" with Romo and Prescott without a bad lull between both QB's. Doesn't mean the next QB can be found just as easy.
Dallas has also drafted Mike White, McGee, Quincy Carter, and signed guys like Hutch/Henson to try to find the next QB and those results went poorly.

There are many QB’s that have succeeded in the league without being a premium pick. Brady was a 6th rounder. Purdy too.. Top qb’s in the league currently like Mahomes, Lamar, and Josh Allen weren’t drafted in the top 5. Anything is possible

IF you are talking SB winning QBs those not drafted in the first rd are very few
Warner, Brady, Brees, maybe one or two others

IF you are talking about franchise QBs then the boys definitely got lucky with Romo and Dak

BUT Romo was only here because Payton convinced BP to give him a shot
and Dak got picked after Paxton Lynch was drafted before we could pick him; and then Connor Cook also got taken before we could pick him
THAT IS PURE LUCK

That's fine I'm just saying people expect us to be 3-14 and get a good draft pick to use it on a QB knowing we haven't done that in ages

Jethro has been lousy when he thinks a QB is going to be good: Aikman was more Jimmys pick; and was pretty obvious and easy.
After that the QBs he liked were Henson and Hutchinson and Quincy and as mentioned Paxton Lynch and COnnor Cook
and let us not forget Johnny Football
