The following article lists Jarrett Stidham and
Drew Lock as possibilities (August 26 2021):

Jarrett Stidham
Draft: New England Patriots in the 4th round
(133rd overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Drew Lock
Draft: Denver Broncos in the 2nd round
(42nd overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Cooper Rush, if he performs well versus the
Jaguars in the preseason finale this Sunday,
may suffice for the Cowboys, but that would
be a risky move were Dak Prescott to be out
for any significant stretch of time in 2021.

I'd be surprised if DEN trades Lock.

The main point is that the #2 QB for DAL is probably going to be what
some other team considered to be its #4 QB. Whether he is cut by PIT, NE
or some other team remains to be seen.

But who cares? If DAL was worried about having a capable backup for an
injured Prescott, it should have been addressed months ago.
This team can't win with a backup. Save the resources for next year.

The Dallas Cowboys should have been
the team to trade for Gardner Minshew

Winning? The following article states the
Cowboys winning (& winning Super Bowls
for that matter) is highly dependent on if
a team has a top 10 defense - 87% of Super
Bowls won by team with top 10 defense:

2021 - Cowboys Projected Wins Analysis
based on Points per Game Allowed

-If- the Cowboys can keep their offensive
line healthy, -if- the Cowboys rush attack
returns to 2019 form, even without Dak the
Cowboys may be able to win -if- the backup
QB plays well. I know, lot of -ifs- there but
"can't win with a backup QB", I'm not buying ...

.... that -if- the defense is much-improved with
top-10 potential & -if- the backup QB plays
well. Granted, their chance of winning a Super
Bowl declines without Dak, but -if- their back-
up QB plays well & has the support of a much-
improved defense, the Cowboys -can- win with
a backup QB.

Famous Super Bowl winning backup QBs?
Trent Dilfer for Ravens in 2000 (Ravens De-
fense: 1st in fewest points allowed, 2nd in
fewest yards allowed), Nick Foles for Eagles
in 2017 (Eagles Defense: 4th in fewest points
allowed, 4th in fewest yards allowed).

The Cowboys got weapons all over they should be able to win if they need a backup QB.
People forget the Offensive line was decimated last year.
