A former Pro Bowl quarterback has expressed his admiration for Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer and is open to playing for the team, sparking a debate among fans. Is this a strategic move to bolster the Cowboys’ quarterback depth, or is it a sign of trouble brewing in Dallas?
**QB’s Praise for Schottenheimer**
The Cowboys’ recent appointment of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach over the team has not been met with much support, with some doubting that he will be a good fit[4]. However, one former Pro Bowl quarterback appears to be a fan.
**Dak Prescott’s Position**
Dak Prescott is currently the Cowboys’ starting quarterback[6]. Tony Romo, who served as the Cowboys’ primary starter from 2006 to 2015, had a less successful postseason record, winning only two of the six playoff games he appeared in[5].
**Aubrey Wants an Extension**
Meanwhile, Cowboys All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey, who is entering the final season of his current contract in 2025 with a $1.03 million salary, said he’s ready to talk with Dallas about a new deal[3].
**Fan Frenzy: Competition or Disaster?**
News of the quarterback’s desire to play for the Cowboys has created a split among fans. While some are excited about the prospect of having a talented backup with NFL experience, others believe it could create unnecessary competition and tension in the locker room.
Former Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant expressed doubts about Schottenheimer, saying his instincts suggest the appointment might not turn out positively.
Is this new quarterback signing another change that will negatively impact the team? Only time will tell whether the Cowboys decide to pursue the former Pro Bowler, and whether that decision leads to success or failure.
