The Cowboys already have what most teams spend years searching for — stability and upside at quarterback.
At QB1, they’ve got a steady, All-Pro leader in Dak Prescott — a guy who embodies everything this franchise wants to be. He’s the face, the voice, the grown-up in the room. And now, they’ve doubled down on the future by acquiring Joe Milton — a raw, alien-traited prospect with a bazooka arm, plus size, and the kind of athletic tools you can’t teach.
There is no quarterback stability with Carson Wentz. There is no upside.
The Cowboys already have both without him ...
Which makes the rumor that connects the roller-coaster QB who was once an Eagles first-round pick so maddening.
Wentz is a name that carries more memory than momentum — a former contender turned league-wide insurance policy. He's played for five teams in five years.
He is ...
A panic button. A break-glass-if-needed rental for teams without structure.
That’s not the Cowboys.
Pittsburgh and Cleveland, maybe. (Or maybe not, given that Wentz remains unsigned by all 32 teams.)
But not Dallas.
The Cowboys don’t need a flier. They need focus.
The Cowboys don't need a circus. (See "Belichick vs. Schottenheimer'' here.) They need continuity.
And they need to give Joe Milton the same thing they once gave Dak — the space to grow behind a clear leader, not get jammed in behind someone else’s retread storyline.
Oh, and as insurance, Will Grier is here - not as pedigreed as Wentz, but also not as much of a headline-grabbing noise-maker move, either.
The Cowboys are built differently now. ... and not understanding that is an insult to what Prescott - lightning rod he may be to some due to the $60 million APY contract - has accomplished.
Adding Carson Wentz would be like lighting a match near a closed door: The results won’t fix what’s inside. ... It might just blow it all up.
