The Dallas Cowboys have a quarterback problem—and it may be a good one. With Joe Milton emerging as a legitimate QB2 candidate and Sam Howell putting together an impressive preseason performance, Dallas now faces a difficult 53-man roster decision: do the Cowboys keep three quarterbacks, or risk losing Howell by trying to sneak him through waivers? On this episode of Locked On Cowboys Hit Podcast, host James Duncan breaks down the latest Dallas Cowboys quarterback dilemma and why Sam Howell’s preseason performance could force Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer to rethink the final 53-man roster. Joe Milton has already made a strong case for the backup quarterback job with his combination of size, arm strength, mobility and explosive-play ability. But Sam Howell has shown why Dallas valued his experience and why simply cutting him may not be as easy as it looks. That creates the biggest question facing the Cowboys quarterback room: If Joe Milton wins QB2, can Dallas really afford to let Sam Howell go? Keeping three quarterbacks would give Dallas insurance behind Dak Prescott and preserve a player with NFL starting experience, but that roster spot comes at a price. Every quarterback kept means another player at wide receiver, running back, tight end, offensive line or defense could be pushed off the final roster. And that's where this gets really interesting. With young wide receivers like Camden Brown and Jonathan Mingo fighting for roster spots, could Dallas sacrifice offensive depth to keep three quarterbacks? Could a promising player on the roster bubble become the casualty of the Sam Howell decision? Or does Dallas decide that Joe Milton's upside and Dak Prescott's durability make carrying three quarterbacks unnecessary? James Duncan breaks down both sides of the debate from a Cowboys fan perspective and asks the question Cowboys Nation needs to answer before cutdown day: Would you keep Sam Howell as QB3, even if it means cutting another player who could contribute this season? The Dallas Cowboys' quarterback depth chart may not be as simple as Dak Prescott, Joe Milton and Sam Howell. The decision could have consequences across the entire 53-man roster. Cowboys Nation, YOU are the GM: If Joe Milton wins QB2, are you keeping Sam Howell as QB3—or are you using that roster spot somewhere else?
