The Dallas Cowboys are who we think they are. Teams can win a lot of games in the regular season, but continually collapse in the playoffs. And the 2023 NFL season was no exception. The Green Bay Packers, the youngest playoff team in NFL history, came to Dallas and tore apart the Cowboys.
Now, we're entering another important offseason, but the team has more questions than answers, and both Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott have a lot of uncertainty about them. . Prescott will likely sign an extension this offseason, but is that the right move? And McCarthy is entering the final year of his contract. The Cowboys' abilities with McCarthy and Prescott have clearly reached a plateau.
Could the Dallas Cowboys make a bold move and draft a replacement for Dak Prescott?
Jerry Jones makes a bold move and brings JJ McCarthy to Dallas. McCarthy is very young, having just turned 21, but that could be an advantage for Dallas. McCarthy may have to wait a year to develop, so that could give Prescott and the Cowboys one last chance. Despite being a statistically superior QB, Dak Prescott has clearly not had success in the playoffs.
And I don't think anyone really believes this team can win a Super Bowl with Prescott under center. Drafting a potential replacement in the first round may be a shock, but it's necessary. Since we drafted JJ McCarthy, I don't think there's any need to rush him into starting right away. That may be an advantage.
