Now, with Rookie of the year phenom Jayden Daniels, the commanders quarterback problems are at an end.<\/p>\n<p>And they can finally laugh at other teams and their quarterback moves.

With the Giants, New York has a new room altogether with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston as his backup.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas traded a fifth-round pick in the upcoming Draft for\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0for young signal-caller\u00a0Joe Milton. Let&#8217;s be clear, that recent trade won&#8217;t be creating any quarterback controversies with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>They will be led by Dak Prescott in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>What it does do, though, is open the door to scrutiny should Prescott &#8211; now 31 years old &#8211; show any signs of slowing down after a hamstring injury cost him last season. If Milton, a sixth-round project with a massive arm, shows something in Dallas&#8217; training camp, a frustrated fanbase could make life hard for Prescott and the Cowboys if they don&#8217;t start the new season out strong.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\" data-zone-count=\"3\">\n<div data-google-query-id=\"CLH3udDwvYwDFVZZDwIdH3sgBw\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\">\n<p>Again, there&#8217;s no quarterback controversy in Dallas, but the Milton trade (and his development) could have some Cowboys fans already on the fence about Prescott to move on completely.<\/p>\n<p>And all the Commanders need to do in that situation is sit back and laugh.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"3\">\n<div data-google-query-id=\"COuzytDwvYwDFVZZDwIdH3sgBw\" data-ad-size=\"728x250\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Cowboys acquiring Joe Milton, the rest of the NFC East including the Washington Commanders should feel much better about themselves.
