There will always be the occasional exception like a Trent Dilfer here and there, but he was backed up by a transcendent defense.
For the most part, the NFL really comes down to who has the strongest duo of QB/Coach. Once those things are found, it immediately translates to success. I know it’s not exactly a shock, but look at the teams in the last 5 or 6 years that have started to come on strong and those that have fallen off. It all circles back to have they found or lost their QB/coach.
Prescott is not the answer at the position. He has the worst possible trait of disappearing in big games. I think McCarthy also has to go after a game like that. Cancer like that loss runs deep, and sometimes you have to cut into seemingly healthy tissue to remove it.
I don’t think the needed changes will be made because of that ever present overlord of Jerry Jones. Not because he is an egotistical meddler. I actually think he has been better with that in recent years and mostly has the reputation due to old behavior.
But Jerry Jones is an old man. He knows he doesn’t have enough sand in the hourglass to go through a proper rebuild and see the results. My guess is he will try to hire a big name coach to win with the pieces (that aren’t working) that are already in place.
The team is stuck in the worst situation possible — never winning anything meaningful, but also winning enough that they don’t get a shot at any franchise changing draft picks.
It’s purgatory. Stuck with Prescott at QB and likely to get an old school, dated, defensive minded retread of a coach.
