Everyone Thinks They Know the Dallas Cowboys’ Biggest Problem, Yet These 3 Words Reveal the Harsh Truth

Brian Schottenheimer, Dallas Cowboys head coach

The Dallas Cowboys are getting close to what will be a make or break season for the franchise. There’s a lot of hope surrounding the team, thanks to having a new leader in Brian Schottenheimer, but Schottenheimer isn’t going to have much time to turn this franchise around. For a team like the Cowboys, who are considered “America’s Team,” expectations are high, and the team has fallen short for too long.

So, Schottenheimer, quarterback Dak Prescott and company are on a mission to become one of the strongest teams in the NFL once again. Last season, Prescott spent much of the year out with an injury, so the team had to rely on their backup quarterbacks, both of whom have left the team. So, the Cowboys are putting their trust into backup quarterback Joe Milton if something with Prescott happens again.

Well, the Dallas Cowboys went up against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, August 16, and fell with a final score of 31-13. The most concerning part, though, was Milton’s performance.

The Dallas Cowboys Have a Problem

Let’s hope Prescott doesn’t get injured again, but if he does, it could be a problem. In a piece published on Saturday, August 16, following the loss to Baltimore, Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk and NBC Sports sums up the Cowboys’ biggest problem perfectly in three words.

He says the team has a “backup quarterback problem.” That certainly seems to be the case.

“It’s obvious the Cowboys have a backup quarterback problem,” he adds.

Despite Milton’s rough performance on Saturday, Schottenheimer says he’s not worried.

Schottenheimer added, “They fooled him a little bit on the safety on the third-down there. We were trying to get the ball out of his hand fast. They showed down one side and brought the blitz from the other side, and it just spooked him. He’s got to try to throw that ball away, and his feet were kind of talking to him.”

Dallas Cowboys Coach Brian Schottenheimer Won’t Scapegoat Quarterback

The head coach also said that he wasn’t going to scapegoat Milton. He’s obviously not the only one on the field.

“It wasn’t just Joe. We have to be able to run the ball better,” he said. “We have to be able to take care of the ball. He throws the ball with a lot of tempo. I thought [fullback] Hunter [Luepke] had a ball he could have made a catch on.”

He added, “Again, you hit a couple of those things it gets you going. Sometimes you need somebody to help you make a play. I don’t think we did a great job of that.”

The Dallas Cowboys traded for Milton during the offseason after letting Rush walk. Their other quarterback is Will Grier. While it’s certainly a concern to see the kind of backup quarterback situation the Dallas Cowboys are facing, they’re not the only team in the NFL in this situation. Hopefully Prescott can stay healthy this season and keep up the good stats, because if not, the outcome will be a question mark.
