Yeah that makes a lot of sense to me.

I understand some not liking the scenario set out in this thread, but I don't get people acting as if it's such a horrible, unfathomable thought. It's debateable how much that would help us improve, or if it would at all, but a scenario where we help shore up a defense that desperately needs help and get a franchise QB for the future isn't so unfathomable to me.

I would just as soon draft a QB to sit behind Romo than to give up a top QB. I don't disagree that we need to add to our defense but I think the risk of gambling with your top QB is way to big of a risk. |

I was agreeing with it for a second until he said trade up to get Andrew Luck... I like Cam Newton 6-6 260. Cam Newton have a personality of a leader on the field and I feel with his ability, he can take Cowboys to the next level. |

I have no problem with this. It weighs the pros and cons, is well thought out and doesn't automatically treat the proposal as unfathomable.

I did, and while I understand his points, and don't find them unreasonable, I don't think its that cut an dried. For example, while I agree Romo gives us a better chance to win in 2011, which would be Luck's rookie year, I don't agree that is undoubtedly true for 2012 or 2013. And I don't agree that it would necessarily take Luck 3-5 years to be ready to win. I guess I don't see Romo as enough of a sure bet to automatically shrug off this trade proposal as unfathomable. |

There is a lot wrong with this team. Why can't people just be happy with what we do have right?

which is why I have not flamed the guy. I understand what he is saying I just think the risk is too great. |

I want to see upgrades to make certain areas stronger, I do not want to weaken another area in doing that. |

A rational viewpoint.
I'm certainly not saying I wouldmake the deal either, probably wouldn't. But it's a reasonable enough thought that I would do the homework and weigh all aspects of it before making a decision. |

Me too. I mean why can't people be happy with what we do have and want to build around that. We are fortunate enough to have a franchise QB and two franchise WRs. Many here want to get rid of them for pics instead of building around them. |

As I said for it to even be brought to the table I would want to start with 2 #1's and chances are a current player. QB is one of the hardest positions to find so unless the deal was big time in my favor I just would not do it. As many changes as NE has made Brady has not been a part of those deals because it is not easy to replace. |

The idea is completely outside the realm of possibilities. No team would even make an offer because they know it wouldn't be entertained.
We might as well discuss the possibility of Jerry selling the team. |
