but can you elaborate on how you have him in that bottom tier? I also think Sam Darnold has a shot this year of getting out of that bottom tier. 
Does your question relate to this year only?
The disrespect continues. Keep it up.
Yes
Just an odd post to make the day after Baker beats Goff IN Detroit.
absurd, Philly was one inexpicable play away from beating them just a few years ago.
I think the bolded clarifies the question much better, as well as fitting my initial response. In that context, there are three or four GMs that feel great (Mahomes, Burrow, Allen), and another 12-15 that feel they do (Hurts, Purdy, Goff, etc.), but would remain open to an improvement if opportunity presented. Another 6-8 that HOPE they have the guy but either lack the data or simply feel bad about the odds (Lack of data as in Daniels and Williams, fading hope as in Watson, Young)
Which 12 do you think don't feel good about it? Seems like a lot. Usually most teams have either a guy they think is good enough to be a franchise QB, or a young guy they think will develop into one.
Thanks for the full answer there.
I feel like I'm the Dak Prescott apologist

Which again, is why I'm asking about the player and not so much the team. Darnold is a great example (at least after 2 games) of how team matters.

I'm not sure if you're a Dak apologist but you did say you thought Dak was good enough to win a Super Bowl and unless I'm way wrong on this, I'd say you're in the minority with that opinion. Time will ultimately tell, but at age 31 he certainly hasn't demonstrated the ability to win important games consistently. At least in my eyes. I see a guy who cost his team dearly in 3 recent playoff exits.
But props to you for defending your belief. As a fan of Dallas, I hope you're right. As an objective viewer of football, I think I've seen enough to believe he's not good enough to win a Super Bowl (or even get there) and we saw more of that yesterday against New Orleans. 2 more picks, a fumble that set his team back and failure to convert first downs when they matter most. His failed 4th down throw to a practice squad TE says it all for me. As I've said countless times, it's a pattern, it's a problem.
And on Sam Darnold, I'm a big fan personally; think he's a great kid, people that know him, love him. I'm rooting him on this season and beyond. BUT - it was just 3 seasons ago when Darnold started 3-0 for Carolina and looked GREAT doing it. Then he lost a bunch in a row and that was basically that. Cautiously optimistic this is the break he's needed.

While I agree with much of your post. I also don’t lay all the blame at Dak’s feet - despite not loving the guy.

No run game
Finesse Defense that can’t stop the run.
Better than average QB who wins in the regular season.
As a Cowboys fan also - we both know they are not winning anything SB wise.
It’s a black and white question that requires context Joe.
So, to answer Joe’s question. Yes they win if they change their salary cap situation by getting a real RB, better DT’s and LB’s and a real coach.

Thanks. I for sure think Prescott is good enough to win a Super Bowl. Been saying that for a while. I am interested in whether that's a minority opinion. Was hoping to get some of that talk here but I didn't do a good job of guiding the thread.
Hoping it works for Darnold. As I said, it's just 2 games but those have been good games. Especially yesterday against a good team. We'll see.
Your question is too binary. I stated about 15 teams feeling good about their QB...but that cutoff is somewhat arbitrary. Team # 15 isn't feeling as confident as team #5.. Similarly team #20 has reason to hope in a young QB (think Daniels) and while they don't feel good NOW (as in for this year), they aren't ready to give up what appears to be a reasonable hope. Team #28 is living on prayers with minimal optimism (think Daniel JOnes as a guy at the border of hope/desperation for replacement). There are ranges in between, and where we draw these lines is highly subjective. My original answer stands...there are 15-18 or so teams that feel good to great about their QB situations.
You want Dak to be a hero, but crucify him because he isn't. It's already been mentioned in this thread numerous times. There's one guy in the NFL who can put his team on his back and carry them to a SB. It's ok that Dak isn't that guy. 31 teams in the league don't have that guy. But there are lots more teams than just the Chiefs that are good enough to win the SB. It takes some luck, some generous ref calls or no-calls, and it largely depends on health/injury timing.
We've seen Brees, Brady and Rodgers go into their 40's now.
I am looking out the next 3-5 years on him and projecting him. If the Bears get him an OL.....the sky is the limit for that kid. He is the real McCoy.
