We’re in the Trevor Lawrence race!

[Bigdog]

Here's what's funny, not ha ha funny, about people that want to replace Prescott who say when Jerry, Stephen and McCarthy repeatedly say Prescott is their QB for the future as being just lip service, why would they just do lip service when they don't have a lock on the first pick in the draft? Remember they started to say this BEFORE the season, after the season started and after Prescott's injury. Do you really think all three would continue lip service all the time? Lastly, the list is a mile long of QB's that all the "experts" and draft gurus have said were sure fire to be big stars in the NFL that turned out to be busts. I'm not saying that Lawrence will be a bust, but other QB's that were thought of as highly as Lawrence did turn out to be busts. Right now the Cowboys have a QB that even after missing a little over 5 quarters STILL leads the league in passing yards. Now that will end in week 7, but that's how big of a lead he had on the rest of the league before he got injured. Also despite what those who want to replace Prescott think, after his injury what he heard from players, coaches, announcers and analysts about his leadership, character and abilities and how much the Cowboys will miss him should end the Cowboys should replace Prescott talk.

I am not saying I don't like Dak because I do, imo I think Lawrence is better qb and I do not think he would be a bust. With that being said I do not think we have chance of even getting him. I did hear some rumors on talk radio that if the Jets have the first pick that Lawrence may stay in school ala Peyton Manning.

Lawrence should pull an Eli Manning/Charges scenario -- similar to the 2005 draft.
Assuming the Jets have the no. 1 pick, Lawrence stiff-arms the Jets.
Being the consensus no. 1 pick -- he relays to the Jets that he does not want to play for them, so don't pick me #1.

Jets find a willing trade partner -- the Cowboys.
Cowboys move up a few slots, and select Lawrence.

 

[Tussinman]

Don't think so. Jets and Lions are 100% in on the lawrence race and wouldn't be shocked for washington and atlanta to be at least somewhat interested

I think they resign Dak and then first 3 rounds are all day 1 defensive starters. WR corps is fine, Dak is good, and o-line could be top 10 if Tyron and La'el come back

 

[Denim Chicken]

People who call for Lawrence expose their low IQ.


defensive players, a slightly average QB, and good skill players are how you win.

Not really. I'm a big Dak supporter, but if you have the chance at a QB like Lawrence you take it and don't look back.

#1 pick has a QB has a cap hit of around $6-$8mil while Dak's hit is going to be upwards of $36 mil.

You can fill a lot of holes with $30 mil of space.

 

[stilltheguru]

Dak is coming back def now thanks to Dalton looking trash

 

[tyke1doe]

The Jets have got the pick wrapped and tied with a bow. They're not winning a game this year.

 

[conner01]

Need defense.

I agree
But like lamb last year, if you have Lawrence there you take him
That said he won’t be there when we pick
I know many think we are the worst team in nfl but opinions don’t give out draft picks
We won’t have the worst record
But we very well could be high enough to get an impact defensive player

 

[Risen Star]

If we somehow got the first pick they would trade it.

 

[Tussinman]

Need defense.

Agreed but Lawrence would actually help you get defense

You would get a cap savings of almost 30 million dollars, you could actually go after those 25 and 26-year-old solid defensive starters that are coming off their rookie deals instead of what we've been doing which is bargain bin 30-plus-year-old worn out veterans

 

[Tussinman]

Not really. I'm a big Dak supporter, but if you have the chance at a QB like Lawrence you take it and don't look back.

#1 pick has a QB has a cap hit of around $6-$8mil while Dak's hit is going to be upwards of $36 mil.

Agreed.

Imagine this defense with Byron Jones, Johnathan hankins, danny shelton, still having your second and 3rd round picks + enough money for another linebacker.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Trevor Lawerence isn't going to have much of a chance to succeed if the Cowboys defense keeps putting pressure on him to have to score nearly 40 points per game. Defense needs to be addressed and Nolan needs to be fired.

 

[Brax]

Yep at this rate we could near the top of the draft and in position to pick Trevor Lawrence.

Even if they get the #1 no way Jerry is picking a QB. You will see wheeler dealer Jones like you have never seen him if it ends up that way.

 

[baltcowboy]

Let us stick a pin on the calendar for the 2021 NFL Draft. I have been wrong about Jerry Jones before. It will not bother me in the least if he proves me wrong again.

My position on the topic has been stated on this forum many times, something I began posting since November 2016. Jerry Jones accepted Dak Prescott as his long-term franchise quarterback after only a two or three month evaluation, including preseason, in my opinion. I have also stated since 2017 that a franchise quarterback like contract for Prescott is only an eventuality. I believe neither nothing nor no one will alter Jerry Jones' commitment.

One thing is certain. There are few people in this world who are more interested in seeing how the upcoming offseason and draft will unfold than me. You are 100% correct about one thing:

"We just have to wait-and-see".

You sound like a guy who knows a few things about negotiation. If France pisses Jerrah off like he did in 2019 the rumors will start that the Cowboys are eyeing Lawrence, Fields and Lance. If we get a top 5 selection they will all come in for a draft visit. Sadly I am about to turn my focus to the draft zone because the Football team defensive line in going to decimate the Red Rifle.

 

[JayFord]

We arent anywhere near Trevor Lawrence town

 

[Sevenup3000]

I see the Daltonites have already jumped ship after their one week of momentary optimism last week. Didn't last long, huh? Now they're onto another line of thought.

I'd forget this fantasy of getting Trevor Lawrence though. Jets are 2 games ahead of us, and they have a far stronger schedule. Nobody wants to lose to the Jets except for maybe the Chargers.

Every other team they play are gonna be in playoff contention till the end. No one's dumb enough to lose to the Jets. They'll go 1-15 which already clinches them the #1 pick.

I KNEW this was going to happen. I said, as soon as Dalton blows up in their faces...these idiots will start talking about tanking for Lawrence.

These morons are not Cowboys fans. They just hate Dak (I leave it to others to speculate as to why).

 

[SackMaster]

So you would rather pay a QB with 1 playoff win, $40m > Possibly the best Qb prospect since John Elway





A DT, S, or CB in the top 5-10 would NOT improve this team as much as Lawerence eventually would

How many times to we hear that Player X is the greatest Prospect since HOFer Y ..... and that player ends up being a monumental bust?

Having said that, a team WITHOUT a QB should jump all over Lawrence ASAP. You have no shot without a QB, you have to make that move.

But for a team with a QB that is a Top-10, maybe even 5 QB in the NFL, that would be one of the riskiest, and potentially most devastating, moves one can make.

Had Dak played like Dalton in his playoff games, I would completely agree with not paying Dak. But Dak shows up almost every game, even if the rest of the team does not.

So ya, I pay Dak then look to dump the actual bad contracts we have given out (DLaw, Zeke, Jaylon). Even in extremely likely chance we can't find any real difference makers in Free Agency (teams don't let those guys just walk), at least we can have the room to keep the guys who actually seem to care.

Or we can draft a QB, use up the only real valuable resource that could be used to draft a real difference maker at a position that we are NOT good at, and then talk about how our #1 overall pick can't win against any good teams either.

But to each their own, I guess.

How is that a risky move?


Where has Dak gotten this team these last 5 seasons?

He was 6-10 in his previous 16 starts.

You would have a semi-point if Dak was cheap, but he wants a massive deal. Our future will look like the Texans’

 

[tyke1doe]

Imagine the WR we can draft with the first overall pick!!!!!!!!!!

Here goes another inferior thinking poster with that lazy insinuating. Using that lazy logic that means in your inferior thinking mind everybody that "hates" Dak would have to be one thing. I can disprove that right now for me so I think you need more reasons than that lazy one you're insinuating.
