I agree with what your saying, but most here wont get it.Playing devil's advocate, okay?
Please no insults and no references to my intelligence or lack thereof.....Nah, never mind!...Asking for mercy is just pouring gasoline on a fire.
Three times in the past 11 seasons the starting QB went down early in the season and it was all over, crash and burn. It would have been four seasons but a fourth round draft choice miraculously had one of the best rookie seasons in history, who expected that?
The Cowboys rolled out a slew of backups, mostly average quarterbacks when they were in their prime. Sometimes they were on one year contracts meaning that, even if they had a good showing, they were gone the following season.
Why not kill two birds with one stone? Draft a top tier QB, if the starter goes down, the rookie gets experience. He could be a legitimate starter the following season in which case the Cowboys trade one of them. Furthermore, when a player gets paid they seem to have the tendency to play soft that season. A legitimate talent backing him up could put a little fire to Dak's backside.
The rookie salary cap allows the Cowboys to draft a QB in the top ten, I think.
You could draft a productive non-QB player in the top ten but what difference would that make if Dak is injured again or if he performs poorly? Look at the value of good young quarterbacks these days. If the Cowboys cultivate a young QB while he serves as a quality backup, the Cowboys could end up with a trade reaping great value for their future.
Look at the history of the Cowboys successful seasons. Where there not two legitimate starters?....Lebaron/Meredith...Staubach/Morton....Staubach/White....Even Roger Staubach once revealed that a reason for his success was how hard he competed with Danny White, knowing how good his competition was. Jimmy Johnson drafted two QB's #1 overall in his first season, giving up the #1 overall pick in 1990 for taking Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft. Jimmy valued competition.
Ok....let 'er rip!
It doesnt have to be a first round pick, I suggested trask if he falls out of first round.
It would give dallas a cheap but better bkup. He also could be valuable trade material in future. Or he might prove to be the next starter.
Fans ignore stuff like dak getting hurt again, or just not playing well etc, to them dak will be exactly the same as the day he got hurt
Maybe he will be , but maybe he wont.
Dallas has 10 picks, spending one on a good qb prospect is smart imo.
Dont have to go high, as most of those guys turn out to be busts or so so, but dont want to go too low either.
That being said I dont think jones boys will draft a qb, they are not that smart, and they dont want a controversy, or any fire lit under dak.
I would be shocked if they took one round 3 or up.
