Are the Cowboys starting to move on from Mike White?
Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports Dallas might be considering options at QB3. One of the biggest things that we’ve learned through two preseason games this season is that Mike White is not going to be the backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. White, drafted by the team a year ago, has done little (being kind) to challenge Cooper Rush for the right to sit behind Dak Prescott on the team’s depth chart. Through two preseason games he has shown signs of regression more than anything. This has caused for a lot of Cowboys fans to call for the team to find any option that isn’t Mike...

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports It’s just preseason, but Dak Prescott has looked good. Every few years a subject confronts Dallas Cowboys fans like few before it. Dak Prescott is one of those. The matter of how much Dak should be paid is something that will likely never yield peace. Arguments are made that Prescott is a franchise-caliber quarterback in the NFL, and arguments are made that compare him to a bus driver quarterback. Just so that we’re very clear here, I realize that what I’m about to say is about the preseason. What happens during the exhibition period of the NFL season...
