The Dallas Cowboys have been rather cavalier with the backup quarterback position in recent memory. It has been one of their biggest flaws that has only been noticed when the position became vital to team success.
Prior to the arrival of Dak Prescott, the Cowboys entrusted players like Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel, and now offensive coordinator (soon to be Boise State head coach?) Kellen Moore to be the second-most important person on their football team. Hindsight is obviously 20/20, but that was never a smart way to operate and the front office seemingly learned their lesson throughout the 2015 season.
