Despite his failure in the playoffs yet again, Dak Prescott will be the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys in 2023.
The Cowboys are coming off another disappointing postseason run as they got eliminated from the playoffs by the San Francisco 49ers for the second-straight season. Prescott threw two interceptions in the first half of the Cowboys’ playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. Prescott was tied for the league lead in interceptions during the regular season. Prescott finished the game going 23-of-37 for 206 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
Former NFL executive and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum says the team should strongly consider drafting a QB, but not move on from Prescott.
On ESPN’s Get Up, Tannenbaum suggested the Cowboys seriously consider drafting another quarterback for depth.
“Here’s how I would approach it from a team-building standpoint,” Tannenbaum said. “I would sign (Prescott) to an extension, that is a stabilizing move because you are in contention.
“But the other thing I would do, I would consider drafting somebody else. … Both things can be true: You can have Dak Prescott and you can look to get another.”
He used the 49ers’ success as an example as the team opened the year with Trey Lance at quarterback before an injury put Jimmy Garoppolo back under center. Later on, they would be forced to start third-string quarterback Brock Purdy. The team still made it to the NFC Championship Game.

The Dallas Cowboys are unlikely to make any major moves at quarterback this offseason, but they did part ways with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. The team has since signed Brian Schottenheimer. He’s had 22 years of NFL experience with 12 of those at the coordinator level.
The Cowboys want to be dynamic on offense, which is what they were not in 2022.
