Ben says “Pray you draft a Top 7 guy” Ignoring the fact that if you look at the History of the SB winning QBs that is EXACTLY what the team did. Almost (I said Almost) every SB winning team drafted a Top 4/Generational talented QB and instantly became SB contenders &or champs.
OK, even if that’s true. If you’re a top 7 QB, and your contract is up, you’re probably about to become the highest paid human in league history. And if you’re an organization that thinks, “He’s just the 8th best QB, we need a Top 7 guy.” The best way to land a Top 7 QB is to tear it all down, tank for 3-5 years, and completely rebuild. And pray to footballgod that the QB you draft is a Top 7 guy.
Oh BTW, you now also have to reconstruct your entire roster around him. That seems like a lot to me with no guarantee you can do better than what you already have.
This team is merely a few smart moves away from contending. MLB, DT, OL. Dak is one of the best things the Cowboys have going for them — he’s not the problem. Shocking to me how so many smart people don’t see it that way. Rarely am I the reasonable one.
