The Dallas Cowboys are in an enviable situation. When a quarterback is on a rookie contract, it gives the team the opportunity to spend their resources elsewhere across the roster. If the quarterback is good enough, it can set the team up for a Super Bowl run.
The Seattle Seahawks won a Super Bowl in Russell Wilson’s second year and the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl in Carson Wentz’s second year. Sure, Wentz was injured for the win, but the argument holds true considering the rest of their roster was well-resourced with an abundance of talent.
