Will Cooper Rush sustain an injury that sidelines him permanently for the season? Will Dak Prescott sustain an injury that will not be cleared for six-to-eight weeks? Will Trey Lance play extremely well and help the offense execute well enough to rack off eight or nine straight wins?

No.

Trey Lance was graded as a 1st round talent by the organization that knows QBs,

Dak would've never been drafted if he wasn't a duel threat in college.
That’s like saying Dirk Nowitzki would’ve never been drafted if he could shoot. You stay saying some off the wall stuff. Yeah if Lamar couldn’t run he wouldn’t have been drafted, if Mahome didn’t have an arm or accuracy he wouldn’t have been drafted…..:facepalm:

It makes perfect sense. The FO doesn’t use the top 3 rounds for selecting quarterbacks since the position is a relatively minor one.

4th round or higher or UDFAs are the breeding areas for Qb here in the last quarter century with the exception of 2nd rounder Quincy Carter who should have been drafted way way later

Dak lost what got him graded out as a late round pick.

Dirk, Mahomes, and Lamar didn't/never did.

Pure pocket passer Dak would be selling cars back in Mississippi right now.

They don't want to insult the starter and cause a qb controversy

Does history repeat itself??
The odds of Trey Lance having the same success Dak has had is extremely slim and none. When Dak got his opportunity he made the most of it. Lance was given two opportunities in San Francisco. With his first opportunity, he didn’t look that great and ended up getting injured. With his second opportunity, he ended up the 49ers third QB, which resulted in him being traded.

With the 23rd (just a random number) pick of the 4th round, the San Francisco 49ers select, Dak Prescott!?

Earlier this season the Cowboys played a team whose starting quarterback was not only drafted in the 4th round but was the exact same pick as Dak......#135.

Dak was drafted in 2016. He was drafted in 2017.

I think I'll make this one a mystery.......for the 15 seconds it takes for you to google it.

Trey Lance has been in the league a couple of years and shown nothing.

Dak Prescott was thrown into being qb1 8 years ago and has won a ton of games.

Your draft position means nothing.

Which has always bothered me. Dak and Romo before him never won anything of significance to get untouchable status. Both have never made a championship game, yet neither one was challenged. When Romo was named starter they never drafted a QB high, even when he started to break down on a regular basis. When Dak became the full time starter (which again wasn’t the plan if you know the history) he was never challenged with a high (2nd round or early 3rd QB). Why?

What makes me upset is the Patriots drafted Jimmy G in the second with Brady having been to four super bowls and having won three of them. He was unfazed and continued to produce at a high level. That’s a winning franchise along with a winning player. But somehow, drafting a QB will upset the current QB. Daks is a solid above average player. But I could care less if he gets upset. Drafting a QB means that we are looking to get better and if he doesn’t perform up to a certain standard we as a franchise have a contingency plan in place.

If he is concerned about losing his job to a guy he has 7-8 year head start on, then is he really the guy to get the team to a Super Bowl ? I think he can be, but I would like some pressure put on him and not simply the Jones playing games with his contract (a battle which they lost in the end)

Executives and organizations and all that only matters when it comes to Dak

Just like rankings …. only legit if Dak is on top 10

Oh and Nick Wright is the only real talking head because he is the only one who talks positive of Thad’s brother

just how it works around here

I needed a good laugh. The team that drafted Lance admitted it was a mistake. Most teams had a grade on Dak around where he was picked. One team was right about there choice and he has exceeded expectations and one hasn’t came close
