So lets just give up.........waaaaaaahhhhhh
Lol the truth sucks. But we been bad for 20 years it's the norm in dallas.
So lets just give up.........waaaaaaahhhhhh
Very astute post and I've heard the same thing - that this class of QB's are not big time franchise guys - yet. However, it doesn't mean they can't be or won't eventually be but in other years they would not be this high. The frenzy of QB's in the NFL is like chum in the water. Only about half the league has a chance to win with the QB's they have so the pressure to find one is immense thus raising the stock of every player who had a decent college career.
As I've said before, Cleveland might take Wentz not necessarily because they think he's that awesome as compared to other overall number one picks - but because they can't afford not to find out.
Although I think Romo will be fine for a couple more years I can see the same logic applied to us.
No one drafts a QB in the top five picks to sit behind a franchise QB for 2-3 years or longer.
Ok... What does he physically lack then?
The #4 pick really is a blessing and a curse.... lots of guys are going to be available that can have a big and immediate impact. but this team has needs at quite a few positions... who do you go with?! lol
You said "freak talent" - That would mean he has something that is either never seen or rarely seen in the NFL. YOU made this claim, you need to provide what makes him a "freak talent". This supposed freak is still being questioned by many scouts. He is not an Andrew Luck or Cam Newton type prospect.
Still awaiting a convincing argument these guys are the real deal.
All I keep reading is "They are QBs, draft them".
I was against it at first but I'm leaning more towards qb now. Dallas is a long ways away from competing for a sb. Might as well try get the future qb. Romo could be done next year we don't know for sure. But I'm in for going all in for romo but don't see them getting to the big dance the next 2 or 3 years no matter what they do.
So how are we a long way ? A year ago we were a Murray fumble from a championship game. Bs
Jimmy Johnson nearly did something like that. When he drafted Aikman, he knew he was a rookie who was not ready and the team wasn't very good. He considered keeping Danny White and letting him start another year, but White was done due to a wrist injury that could not properly heal up. I remember Johnson's exact quote when asked about starting a rookie quarterback. He said, "We'll play the cards we have." He would have preferred a veteran for that first year, one that Aikman could have learned behind. Tom Landry drafted Roger Staubach, who, as a Heisman winner, certainly would have been one of the top five picks in the draft were it not for his Navy commitment. What did Landry do with this first-round talent? He sat him behind Craig Morton for two years. In Tampa Bay, Steve Young sat behind Steve DeBerg at first.
The team has the choice between picking up a free agent like Manziel or RG3 or of filling the position in the draft. Or we could hang on to Cassel. None of those prospects sound very good, IMO. Paxton Lynch is showing some good skills, albeit skills that need to be honed. There is no rule that says you can't draft a QB in the top 5 and then sit him at first. In fact, that's the old school way of doing it. It's only been relatively recently that guys like Andrew Luck and Ben Roethlisberger have come in to start immediately. If it's in the best interests of your team, you do it. Manziel, most of us agree, is a lousy prospect. RG3 I might be able to live with if he came in with a great attitude and worked hard. If the team went with him, I would want us to draft a marquee defensive player. But to me, Lynch or Goff look better than RG3. Is there a QB you want in the 2017 draft? I'm not saying your ideas are foolish -- we have respectful disagreement here. You must know the team can't continue kicking the can down the road indefinitely. At some point soon we need Romo's successor and not just a backup. I just want to understand your thought process. If not now, when does the team go after the successor?

sign rg3, he cant be worse than a rookie qb. At least rg has played and sat and watched games. Use the 4 pick on lb or secondary help, or trade down a few spots and collect picks. Grab a QB next year. Yes Jerry I would like some more kool-aid
Are yous saying that this past season we were a QB away from going all the way?

A qb away from easily being in the playoffs, thats for sure.
