Yep that's the double edged sword of Dak success - Garrett gets all the credit! It won't matter at all that Dallas basically LUCKED its way into its second franchise QB in a decade - something NOBODY does really even once - it will only matter that it was Ginger who "discovered" him.
And like you said if he struggles, that's expected of every rookie! "We had to throw him to the wolves too quick" and a plethora of other excuses.
One last story. On day three, Dallas sat at pick 101, the third pick in the fourth round. Cleveland owned picks 99 and 100. The Cowboys favored Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook marginally over Prescott. Cleveland wasn’t going to take a quarterback, having just taken USC passer Cody Kessler near the end of round three. So the Cowboys offered Cleveland next year’s sixth-round pick to move up from 101 to 100. The Browns said no. Then the Cowboys offered this year’s sixth-round pick. The Browns said no. Cleveland took picks 114 and 154 from Oakland, and the Raiders jumped Dallas and picked Cook.
they just might have hit the lotto again, so we gotta at least give them credit for buying a ticket
Peter King said yesterday I think on Mike and Mike, that Stephen Jones made calls to 9 teams and spent 63 minutes trying to work a deal for Paxton Lynch. Dak was hardly their first choice. In fact if Dak works out I will credit John Elway and Reggie McKenzie.
