It’s mid-November, which means it’s that time of year when Dallas Cowboys fans begin to dream of the team’s next coach and quarterback. This time around, that dream scenario is Deion Sanders as head coach and his son, Shedeur, as quarterback.

Although the 3-7 Cowboys may be able to draft Shedeur in the first round in next year’s draft – and will likely move on from Mike McCarthy at the end of the season – it doesn’t seem like a crazy idea to at first glance, especially if you” asks Michael Irvin, who he says has good sources.

But there’s a nearly quarter-billion dollar elephant in the room for the Cowboys named Dak Prescott. The current Cowboys quarterback signed an extension with the team before this season that included the largest guaranteed amount in NFL history at $231 million.

After an All Pro season, this contract didn’t seem that strange for the Cowboys, but with how quickly things fell apart this season, it now feels like Dallas is stuck with Prescott and a mediocre roster around him .

Could Dallas eat up a lot of Prescott’s money while trying out the power combination of Deion and Shedeur? Of course, in theory. Teams drafted a quarterback early when many times before they had a veteran under contract; Damn, Atlanta did it this year with Michael Penix before Kirk Cousins ​​had played a game with the team. This isn’t unprecedented, but it would require something pretty massive to happen in the Cowboys organization that I can say with certainty won’t happen – at least publicly.

Not only should Jones admit he was wrong in giving Dak Prescott a monster extension, but he should also admit he was wrong about what the team around Dak is capable of as well. Admit that he completely miscalculated what this Cowboys roster is capable of, and admit that a complete coach and quarterback reset is the best path forward.

Is Deion Sanders a good enough coach, and is Shedeur Sanders a good enough quarterback to make Jerry Jones admit he made a mistake? If it doesn’t, I don’t think anyone will make Jones raise his hand and take responsibility.
