The beginning of the 2022 season has been a nightmare for the Dallas Cowboys after they had setbacks in the form of Dak Prescott. Not only did they lose the opening game, but also the arm strength that would have guided them to the playoffs. With uncertainties looming over the QB position, fans have now come up with an interesting prospect to fill the void.

Former Panthers QB Cam Newton is now held high as a potential replacement for Dak Prescott. Although Cooper Rush(backup for Prescott) is chronologically next on the line, Jerry Jones will now have a tough choice to make.
In the previous season, Rush had started games for the franchise and reaped success by winning, but in the long-run fans are skeptical about his abilities. Meanwhile, Newton is an unrestricted free agent available in the market.
Despite being at 33, last season, the passer impressed with his explosive gameplay. He appeared in the last 8 games for the Panthers and made a jaw-dropping impact after signing a $6 million deal.
“Stylistically speaking, Newton is a better fit to back up Dak Prescott than any other available options,” sources said, per SI. “Newton’s size and physicality mirror that of Prescott without losing the mobility that makes him a viable dual threat when necessary. Additionally, his wealth of experience in the NFL would provide for a less significant drop-off in the event he ever ended up actually playing.” It reads.

Whatever it is, the decision has to be made ahead of week 2. Because the upcoming games are crucial for the Cowboys to foster their playoff dreams. Regardless, Newton will definitely strengthen their offensive unit in the long run if they go after him.
