Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys Select QB Ben DiNucci with the 231st Pick (7th Round)

Cut him.

 

[darthseinfeld]

a lot of this reaction seems eerily similar to the Mike White pick lol

Mike White had a lot of raw talent.

Its just harnessed that raw talent to become a truely terrible QB.

Basically a poor mans Brandon Weeden. A guy who turns his own strengths into weakness

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Far too soon to say, but let's hope he can at least evolve into a good backup.

True that he needs to start by becoming a good backup. I think he's quite capable of that to start with

 

[joseephuss]

Only gripe, he will be 24 in November and my JMU friends couldn’t wait until he left lol

The funny thing is he is one month older than the guy drafted #1 over-all.

Dallas Radio just said that McCarthy's brother coached him in 8th grade. so he's known him for a long long time. That's hilarious.

McCarthy's family also has ties with the Cignetti family (JMU Head coach's brother was recently the QB coach of the Packers)

I don't think DiNucci will be irrelevant. I think we should be patient with him and let McCarthy do his work with him. I think we'll be very grateful for that in the future.

That would be great if that happens. Romo 2.0

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Bet he's an Aaron Rodgers fan....he looks more like him.

 

[CATCH17]

This guy is what I imagine Aaron Rodgers looking like in Middle School.

They are so similar.

 

[blueblood70]

Cut him.

oh my hes OUT!!

 

[Redball Express]

Start him!

For sure.

Pay him 10 cases of Bud and some chicken wings.

I like a dude like that. Somebody we can all relate too.

 

[Hayseed]

As an added bonus, I bet he makes a helluva sauce and Ziti too!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

That would be great if that happens. Romo 2.0

Indeed it would be. Let's sit back and watch how McCarthy develops him.

Here's a highlight video of him from his Junior year.

I LOVE this. It is so great.

Ok, it may be poor at identifying talent. I can see that. He did quite well with Dak to a point. However, I am Keen to see where Dak goes under McCarthy. Also, do you think that Romo would have A been found by Garrett when we got him? And B, do you think he would've developed him as well had Romo not had Parcells to start here?

I'll always give Sean Payton credit for Romo being in Dallas. He basically begged both Jerry and The Tuna to sign him. People forget that Sean tried to take Romo to New Orleans with him but Parcells wasnt having it.

But to answer you question....I dont know. All I know is when JG came in as OC Romo as a QB went next level. And what happened with Dak his rookie season was historic IMO.

With that said I am excited to see what McCarthy does with Dak. How can you not be? It would actually be a let down if Dak in anyway regressed.

 

[RandyOh]

Indeed it would be. Let's sit back and watch how McCarthy develops him.

Barley through free agency and the draft and we are being spoiled with amazing football decisions we never got under the clapper. I can't wait till actual coaching of the team happens

 

[Established1971]

By you saying that you see some Romo in him, you have instantly alienated half of the fan base.......just don’t say that he’s has a video promoting hydrochloriquine or it’s curtains for him

wow that is a loaded comment

 

[CowboyFanInLexKy]

My take on this kid is he has a great arm and his accuracy is there.. but the videos I'm finding, I can't really see how he handles being rushed. In the videos, he's always had good protection but we're not living in a perfect world.

Bears, Cowboys, and Panthers were offering him UFA deal so Dallas decided not to risk losing him.

Stephan McGee was another one. After watching him in preseason I remember thinking "How did your arm magically become so weak"
