The Dallas Cowboys have found their veteran backup quarterback with game experience. Mark Sanchez Mark Sanchez (I just wanted to cross his name out once to convince myself this was real) will join the team to backup Dak Prescott until the return of Tony Romo.
It is a fascinating turn of events for Dallas’ depth chart at QB, as the former Jets and Eagles starter will now land in the silver and blue following his release from the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos. None of this makes sense.

Cowboys Nation was hopeful for a guy like Aaron Murray to join the team via waivers, but the Cowboys held true to landing a guy who has a body of work to look at in this league. For his career, Sanchez has completed 56.7% of his passes for 86 TDs and 84 INTs.
At the very least, Sanchez understands how to manage a game more than Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel did in 2015. If he is called upon, things would already be looking bleak for the 2016 Dallas Cowboys, and Sanchez would still have the best offensive line in the league to work with along with Ezekiel Elliott and Dez Bryant.
Mark Sanchez’s 2016 deal in Dallas will reportedly be worth $2.5 million.

Let’s all hope Dak Prescott makes us forget about any quarterback on the roster not named Tony Romo for a very long time.
Are you effin kidding me? That dude sucks. Vick is 1000 times better than that scrub! This is why we can’t be a successful football team cause of bonehead decisions like this.
If Mark Sanchez is taking snaps for the 2016 Dallas Cowboys, their season has already gone far enough off plan to make any talks of “Mike Vick would be better than Sanchez” relevant. We can talk all we want about how they mishandled the QB2 spot through the off season, and lucked into Dak Prescott, but breaking down their best choices at this point for what is going to be a fourth quarterback is meaningless.
That said, I want Mark Sanchez on this football team as much as the next guy. Thank you for reading and commenting, Danny.
