Cooley's opinion: RG3 is going to Dallas

[Bizwah]

There are no guarantees in the draft.......you have to play the percentages...........and the percentages say a top 5 QB is going to be better than RG3

I agree. But is there a guarantee that one of those QBs will be around at pick four? If not, then what do we do?

Not if it is a forced pick. I just want Dallas to draft a player worthy of the No. 4 pick. If it's a QB, I'm happy with that. If it's not, I'm happy with that.

I will BARF really loud in church if we get RG3andOUT.

 

[CyberB0b]

I think it's Griffin.

The interesting question will be, will the Cowboys still take a QB at #4 IF they had Griffin on board?

There are very good points for and against.

It would be typical for them to skip a QB altogether if they get RG knee.

correct me if im wrong... and i know i could be as im not as well read or studied as some of you all are on here but...

how can the Cowboys staff integrate a QB of the type as RGIII to run a Turner's Air Coryell offense (with Ernhardt Perkins elements to it)? Isn't Dallas's system built for a pocket passer (though Romo has scrambling ability)?
Wouldn't they have to retool their offensive philosophy to fit RGIII? Seems the Cowboys system is totally different from where RGIII's spread offense skills are (or lack thereof).

Also I know the question goes further than that...I.E...can they really integrate any QB that's not named Romo and has Chorizo Power.


im just really unsure about all this. i mean i thought i knew a bit why an RGIII type would not fit but im not anywhere near as smart as people in the org who know football as im just a lowly fan (haha have fun with that one). but if they are considering this as a viable option than maybe the cowboys brass are really living in a bizaroo world after all.

Here's a %: Top 5 QB drafted in last 20yrs to win SB? 2 OUT of 20 {Mannings}

Could change if Cam wins.... But that'll be 4 out 20 SB wins regardless

Those % speak direct luck in drafting a QB in top 5

I agree. But is there a guarantee that one of those QBs will be around at pick four? If not, then what do we do?

Again, its called playing the percentages..............what are the odds that Goff/Wentz/Lynch will be gone at pick 4?

Tennessee.........they have Marcus Marriotta, so highly unlikely they will draft a QB.

Cleveland.........they need a QB, so very high possibility they will draft one.

San Diego.........they just gave Rivers a new contract extension through 2019, highly unlikely they will draft his replacement.

What about a trade up? We know from past trades that the Skins had to give up a fortune to move up and take a QB and we also know that the Eagles offered 3 first round picks last season for Marriotta and the Titans gave Chippy the middle finger. So the odds of a team giving up multiple first round picks to move up and grab a QB is not very high, maybe one at the most and that is probably San Francisco at pick 7

So, based on the likelihood of a QB being taken, the percentages say at most 2 will be gone......one by Cleveland and the other possibly by trade with San Francisco. So it appears that at least one of the big 3 (Wentz, Goff, Lynch) will be available when we pick.

3 of the 4 QBs in the conference championship games were drafted number one overall.

Yea, its still hard to get to a SuperBowl and win it, but you have a hell of a lot better chance with a top 5 QB than you do picking up a guy outside of the first round.

Again, its playing the percentages

Akili Smith and Andre Ware say "Hello".

(As does Tim Couch).

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Depends. All three could be legit and in two to three years Dallas could draft another who is just as legit. I don't think the onus is on us to have to hit on a QB this year. I agree that we're in a great position to do that, but there's little reason to consider it one of the "worst mistakes in the Jerry era" until we see where it all leads.

Of course, those who hate everything Jones does will no doubt call it one of his worst mistakes immediately before even seeing how it turns out.

Of course.

And the thing is a "Starting quality" QB isn't the goal... the guy needs to be a top-10 QB. And if neither Goff, Lynch or Wentz can be that guy in their estimation... then pass.

So we're going to get RGKnee and Manzielac?

It's not enough to be drafted in the 1st round.

They have to be good enough to be a top-10 QB in the NFL.

And if the Cowboys do not feel that any of the three can do that... then go another direction.

Bob lost his wheels and the 4skins painfully learned he couldnt beat anybody from the pocket. In this offense if you cant make reads and adjustments you wont beat anybody either from the pocket either. Sounds like a winning combination.

Quit worrying. We have, like, the best coaching staff ever.

I am certain they can do what Shanahan failed to do. Same for Jay Gruden.

I sure wouldn't feel comfortable going into the season only carrying Romo and RG on the active roster on game day. Not only because he may be horrible, but he's more likely to get hurt than Tony

WHeew! Load of my mind man. Thanks! I almost forgot about how good our coaching staff was. I appreciate you reminding me.

Then there is also that. What is more likely Bob getting hurt of Johnny doing something stupid,

Jerry Jones has went another direction ever since Jimmy Johnson left....Jerry has not drafted a QB in the 1st round in 20 years....really doubt he starts this year.....it will be the same ol Dallas Cowboys looking for attention instead of building a contender.

The new Triplets...Jerry, Jason and RGme

 

[MikeT22]

I don't think we can point to signing Griffin as being the reason Dallas doesn't draft a "quality" quarterback. Anyone convinced the Cowboys are going to do that even if they don't sign Griffin is likely fooling themselves because it's doubtful Jerry will spend a premium pick on a player to sit behind Romo when he expects Romo to play another four to five years.

Then JJ would be an even bigger fool than he has shown to be so far.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

Fact of the matter is, all the QBs are reaches in this draft. The Cowboys shouldn't pick a qb in the first round simply because of some goofy coincidence.
