If they do not sign him, what do they do?
Anyone here trust them to pick the QB? They lucked into the last two starters.........over the last 15 years.
In order not to give up the farm, they would have to have a record like 4-13 to get a prime pick QB and considering this QB class that just got drafted, see any that you're reasonably sure are better than Prescott?
Why do you assume they could do better than Prescott?
Not every team gets an A QB, some have to do with B's and C's and hope their QB does not have to carry the team.
Do you think Booger is willing to risk not being a contender with Prescott and try a new QB that may take a few seasons to mature at his age. He hates irrelevancy more than anything. Irrelevancy does not get the coverage, the interviews and the celebrity status that keeps him at the GM position. Do you really think he would sacrifice any of that taking a risk on change unless Prescott just comes undone and he is forced to change?
This is a question of motive, the rush to sign him. And for motive you have to go to the origin and accept the fact this is one man's team feeding the ego of an 80 year old man that no one would pay attention to if he didn't own the Cowboys.
And ask yourself this question. Is any QB, including Mahomes and Burrow, any higher profile in the media? He is already treated as a multiple championships QB.
