Absolutely. Although, I would rather have a veteran to compete with Cooper. This team is talented enough to compete, assuming the o-line is stable. Regardless of what one thinks of Dak or Cooper, if Dak goes down, it is very likely the season will be lost.
I'm with you on Dak and the backup role. In my opinion, you don't do that mid-season unless it's blatantly obvious he's not the answer and the team is not going to make the playoffs. Something like what got Wade fired, starting 1-7 or 2-6 and the reason points almost totally to Dak struggling. I don't think that will happen. Shoot, they went 9-7 this year with a plethora of problems.
Exactly, I don't think Dak will have another 2017-type season. But, if he does, you HAVE to be certain that he's going that route if you choose to pull him if you're Garrett. However, I think you MUST have a legitimate backup as well in order to do that. I understand what you're saying about a veteran, but I still think a rookie QB could still be a good answer. I don't think I'd fancy spending a lot on a veteran QB. Bradford, I suppose, wouldn't be a dreadful option if you're looking for a backup, so I actually don't mind the idea of Bradford. Besides, to be honest, I'm not sure I like this crop of rookie QBs in this draft. At the very least, Dak could learn a lot from Bradford. Yes, he gets injured a lot, but Dak was at his best when he had Romo and Sanchez helping him learn. He did not have veterans to help him along, so, in that sense, I'm actually for us signing Bradford. I think he'd actually benefit Dak in his development. Besides, we'd ONLY be asking Sam to step in if A, he should beat out Rush for the second string spot, and B, if Dak gets injured or we decide that Dak is not the answer.
