Door #3, Monty. It’s the only viable option in the near term after the signing him to that contract. The key to me is moving on from KM and getting a fresh, creative offensive scheme.You are now Jerry Jones. You get to choose between these 3 options. Which one are you choosing?
1. Draft a QB? You spend every available resource moving up in the draft to get your guy... that blue chip QB. You hope we luck into a Mahomes type QB. You know the chances of getting an elite QB is extremely low but you believe we can't win a Super Bowl without one. You're willing to do this every 4 years until we find "that guy". I say every 4th year because we will be giving up future draft picks (plus we will need a couple years to see if the guy we drafted is any good).
2. Sign a FA QB? These guys don't come around often and are usually older QBs at the end of their careers. You might get one that still has some gas left in the tank (Russell Wilson/Matt Stafford). Most of them will probably require a stacked team around them to make any noise in the playoffs. They will more than likely come with a hefty price tag. These guys also tend to pick teams that they think are a QB away from winning it all (which makes it even more difficult getting a very good/elite one).
3. Build an elite team around Dak? You go the 49er/Titan route. You build out the trenches. You need an elite defensive line, offensive line, and a strong run game to win it all with a mid tier QB. You hope Dak improves with age. You get coaches in here that know his limitation's and schemes around his strengths. The downside of this is it could end up similar to the Romo years with a lot of talent wasted and a couple playoff wins.
I’m not a fan of Baltimore’s offensive scheme, but they recognized what they had and what was needed to maximize the chances for success. Dak is not Tony Romo and highly unlikely he will be. And, please, this is not a Dak vs. Romo debate. It’s about structuring your offense to the strengths if your players, most especially you QB.
