So you want to draft a backup at #10.That almost sounds reasonable except that QB injuries, just like the rest of the team injuries, are prevalent. One of the Cowboys constant problems is lack of depth for injured starters. We need a good backup/starter to replace Dak. And yeah, why did we spend all that money on Dak?
When I want your opinion, I’ll beat it oughta you.
Dak's deal was for 4-years 160 million. You want to add a top ten QB deal to that too? Maybe you want to move up to do this too? lol.
The Cowboys and Prescott agreed Monday to a four-year, $160 million extension, two people with knowledge of the contract told USA TODAY Sports. The people spoke on condition of anonymity since the team doesn’t publicly disclose terms. Prescott is guaranteed $126 million, including an NFL-record $66 million signing bonus. In total, he’ll net $75 million in 2021 – more than double his collective salary across his first five professional seasons.
Here's some of their recent salaries:

many dont know that or forget about it.DOES HE ALSO KNOW DAK HAS NO TRADE CLAUSE NO TRADING
they just signed dak to a franchise contract if u draft a player at 10 u are saying that he is your starting qb and ur franchise qb would tear the team apart
QBs are just so valuable that a promising but unknown prospect is going to pay off for you one way or another. Sam Darnold did as much busting as you can do in a few years with the Jets and NY still got 3 picks back. Make a guy like Lance look good in week 17 and you'll make a killing next offseason.
Dak's deal was for 4-years 160 million. You want to add a top ten QB deal to that too? Maybe you want to move up to do this too? lol.
The salary cap makes it hard to stockpile And. New England tried to do this but one by one they left. It's a good idea but it will ****** success as required that each player must pull his proportional value on the roster. Too much deadwood does not work.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!
Funny thing is for years the other three teams in our division have had 1st round QBs while we haven't, and yet we may have had the best of the lot... no to QB or TE for me in the 1st round this year.
They just paid Dak the second most for a QB ever and gave him the most guaranteed money. Rookie QBs are relatively cheap but they don't stay that way but a few seasons. Is there a suggestion here that the Cowboys will be done with Dak in a few seasons?
Although not a fan of drafting a QB at 10, you should always draft the best available in the first.
