Dac Brickot can lead cowboy to Super Paul. Will Jerry Jones follow his example?

What Jerry Jones saw late in overtime this past Sunday was what he described as “vintage Dak Prescott.” First came a pinpoint pass to George Pickens for 27 yards, just beyond the reach of the opponent’s best corner. Then came Prescott avoiding the pass rush and taking off for a 14-yard run.
To Jones, the club’s hands-on owner, those were more than two clutch plays that set up the game-winning field goal in the Cowboys’ 40-37 overtime win over the Giants. They were justification for the faith Jones has had in his quarterback all along. He’s never shied away from his belief that Prescott is capable of leading his Cowboys to the Super Bowl.
And he’s right. Prescott really is that good.
He’s just never had strong enough of a supporting cast to win it all.
Maybe he will soon.
It’s too early to tell after just two games, of course. But as the Cowboys prepare for a Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX), Jones sure does seem to believe he’s got the right group around Prescott for the first time in the quarterback’s now 10-year career. And he believes it even after trading away linebacker Micah Parsons, one of the best defensive players in the game, and embracing what his critics believe is a quantity over quality approach.
“We’ve got some real talent on our roster,” Jones said during a recent appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. “You can’t keep all of those players under our [salary cap] system. You have to make some decisions.
“One of the things I am proud of, although I criticized the negotiation withdrawal, is that you need to see the debris when it comes or see the event when it comes. When we fell on Dak Prescott, we knew that we will have to be very wise and we advance to put this type of menu about Prescott that gives us an opportunity to win in Super Bowl.”
Certainly, it is a controversial approach, following the 82 -year -old decision to trade Parsons to Green Bay instead of paying $ 46.5 million annually to him Backers (four years, $ 186 million with a guarantee of $ 136 million). But for Jones, all of this is part of his commitment to a race. Presscott signed a four-year deal worth $ 240 million last September, making him the highest paid player in the US Football Association-not still discrimination. He continued by giving his best weapon, Cedee Lamb, a four -year deal of $ 136 million, which makes him the highest league recipient in the league.

Johns also looked at Parsons, and made them big long in the long run. Jones certainly was not ashamed to spend this season. This summer alone, the narrow end, Jake Ferguson, Fall Pak Hunter Louisbek, and the corner of the corner in all back Darwin Blander, Bro Paul, Tyler Smith.
This came after his circulation with Pickens in May, adding the second recipient needed by beef since Amari Cooper four years ago. Jones also received promising returns from Javonte Williams, who has already rushed for 151 yards and three land touch. With the money remaining to add it to the struggling pass-Persons quip here-get a single pilot for a value of $ 3.5 million at the Jadeonon Clownyy.
Not all of this is directly related to the decision not to pay Parsons, although Jones said that adding Kony is “the reason we deal with the list in the way we deal with it, so that we can do these types of things.” But his point of view was consistent. Parsons Jones Trade gave the type of financial flexibility and assets (or trade) to build and deserve the type of Brickot team.
Presscott and Cedee Lamb have been one of the most diodes that have been in the league since it joined the first forces in 2020.
And he had to do so, because it was clear that Brezot could not make it work with Lamb alone. For a few years so far, the crime of cowboy was amazing. Any team managed to close Prescott-To-LAMP connection is a tremendous opportunity to win the game. When Brezot and Lambe came out, the cowboy was a threat to everyone. The two can only cover most other beef defects.
Now they do not necessarily have – if Jones’s main plan proves correct. Regarding the defense, Jones is betting that the treatment of Kenny Clark’s defense, which was obtained in the Parsons trade, will return to their leakage defense, especially late this season, even if it is difficult to say that his new defense is generally better. And the addition of Pickens gives qualified Robin cowboy against Batman Lamb in the traffic game.
“He is the man who will win alone or if it is not, then the decline,” said Becaccott. “Very physical. It is not identical to any decibel in this league. So, they will have to double. These are your problems there. Do you want to double it or double the CEEDEE?
“When these men do not double, they will benefit from it.”
There are still holes in the Greater Jones Plan. The offensive line that it built was not the same during the past few drafts in the first two games, and it will now be without the Cooper Baby Center for 6-8 weeks. Of course, the defense, which is no less than Parsons, seemed to be an early responsibility, making more pressure on Brickut to light the results panel.
“I know that Jerry loves Kenny Clark and gets that he wants to improve running defense,” the scout said. “But Parsons is a coherent ball. You cannot replace all the things he does easily.”
It is true, but Prescott is the type of Qorsbbeck that can compensate for what the cowboy has lost – again, assuming that the correct type of the team is finally. 4,516 yards and the best 36 touches of the US Football Association in 2023 threw a hasty attack, with about 40 % of its yard to the lamb. Everyone knew that Pretsott had one real option that is applicable, and still works in some way as cowboy 12-5 went and won NFC East.
With the presence of better individuals around him, there is no real reason for his inability to do it again.
“[Jones] One of the scouts NFC said: “It is not a mistake in what he says.
“But it is about what you do with those assets that you have. These drafts that they got for Parsons (the first round in 2026 and 2027) do not help two years ago. Do DC have a better team around him now with Parsons gold? I don’t know that we know that yet.”
Jones believes he knows. Parsons trading was either A) a bet against Breskot is not good enough to win all of this with three players committed to a lot of the club’s maximum area, or B) that Parsons does not deserve the biggest deal in the league for other than QB. Jones suggests clearly the latter.

Jones said: “I will tell you about that now, and we look forward to your time, when we held his contract and look forward to forward, this was the best way to increase our opportunity to get Super Bowl for you,” Jones said.
“We have the highest -paid player in the American Football Association in Gortbebeck. [the Parsons trade]. Everything. It gives us every opportunity with Dak Prescott and Lamb and the base we must win now. “
It is not wrong with it. He got the correct cortresse.
The only question is whether Jones, whose members’ mistakes wereted many of the first nine years in Prescott in the American Football Association, in the end, can do it properly.
