But that's the entire point. He isn't a franchise QB, neither are the likes of Cousins or Carr etc. Once a team pays those types of quarterbacks "the going rate" then they are booked in for 8-8/9-7 type seasons.
So you regard Carr and Cousins as franchise quarterbacks as well?
Ugh, I don't like Jerry and Stephen making the decisions, but we all know they will never hire someone to GM this team. They did it once with Jimmy Johnson, but Jerry got jealous that Jimmy was getting all of the credit for Super Bowl championships.
The one with the better team.
What you said is true. Why would a GM invest a high draft pick at a position if it's not a need. But Jerry Jones is not a GM, as proven the last 25 years, and Jerry is a moron who doesn't know how to run a football team. I feel the best case for the Cowboys is to get the Dak scenario resolved one way or another as quickly as possible. So this is good news for me. If they can get this resolved ASAP and start the offseason without this being a distraction then we will be better for it. But back to your post. I agree that a normal GM who knows football would not pick a QB with one he trusts on the roster. But Jerry is not a GM and he's a delusional, narcissistic, drunk and probably mentally impaired idiot that is making the call, so all bets are off.
I agree with everything you are saying but some posters here actually hate Dak. They refuse to acknowledge any good plays he makes and run around the bush trying to make something stick.
Failed? Really?
Its haters on this site. For sure. Hell some have even admitted they just don't like the guy....no one suggested signing him to Pat Mahomes money. What got the deal held up was the years last time. At least that's what was reported.
Their problems with the cap doesn't have anything to do with the money they'd give Dak. Its the other players who aren't up to par.
Sounds like his leg blew completely off and he needed tissue donations.
Look at the last 25 years. Jerry failed.Failed? Really?
They DRAFTED a Top-10 QB, which is again, the hardest position in all of football to draft. They also drafted two REALLY good WRs. Our RB picks have been pretty good, and Diggs' played pretty good as a Rookie too.
But I'm sure you are talking more about the defensive side sine we've had pretty big misses as of late. Well, unfortunately our old DC wanted a few guys that didn't pan out. I have no issues allowing the HC and coordinators having input, but in this case we missed badly with two of Marinelli's "pet cats" (Taco and Hill).
But your argument sound a lot like if Aikman, Emmitt or Irvin didn't pan out, we should never draft 1st Round QBs, RBs or WRs again.
That's just silly. Oh, we missed on some players (just like every other team in the league) so let's try to build through free agency (a method with a MUCH lower success rate).
I'm glad you are not a GM, just like I'm sure your glad I'm not.
Bad coaching. Bad GM
