Paxton Lynch with 4th overall

[4lifecowboy]

I likely don't have much in common with anyone who suggests Eli or Dilfer are better QBs than Dan Marino. At least we understand each other.

Never said they were better, but they were more successful. There are few more QB that are physically more talented didn't translate to Super Bowls.

 

[ConceptCoop]

How long have you been a Cowboy fan, after years of bargain slumming, this fan has grown weary of wasting years on long long shots. Sure it eventually worked out with Romo, but how many failures between Aikman and Romo.

We didn't struggle through those years because we didn't reach on Paxton Lynch level QBs.

Trent Dilfer was more successful than Dan Marino? Huh. I think this conversation has run its course.

Yeah we did. It is called calculated risk, we went for high risk vs low risk. Name a QB that wad widely been considered a potential starting NFL QB we took after Aikman.

Drew Henson.

Trent Dilfer has a Super Bowl on his resume.

Quincy Carter is QB'ing a buffer at an AM/PM right now but he was widely considered a 3rd round draft pick taken in the 2nd.

 

[4lifecowboy]

Drew Henson.

Really?

Quincy Carter was our Paxton Lynch. He was a project we reached for and it set us back for years.

Correlation =\= causation. Each prospect is his own set of probabilities and potential outcomes.

We have no idea what Lynch's % looks like at MSU.

That's true, especially in light of the fact that Lynch threw to receivers whose football careers will end once their eligibility are used up. Cook threw to guys who presently play, or will play in the NFL (Aaron Burbridge, Deon Sims, Jeremy Langford).

 

[ConceptCoop]

Really?

Yes. Really. The internet was around back then; you can read about him.

Quincy Carter is QB'ing a buffer at an AM/PM right now but he was widely considered a 3rd round draft pick taken in the 2nd.

And was coincidentally the closest thing to being successful between Aikman and Romo

 

[4lifecowboy]

Yes. Really. The internet was around back then; you can read about him.

Maybe if he would have came straight to the NFL after Michigan, but he decided to play baseball so him being first round talent is really speculation.

 

[Plankton]

That's fine - but that's not saying much. I personally think Lynch is a top 30 guy and Cook a top 40 guy. There's a difference, But not a huge one.



How much did it cost the Raiders?

The 36th overall pick. Carr fell into the Raiders' lap.

Now compare the defenses they played against on a weekly basis.

That's your argument? That he went to a smaller school?

No, he played with inferior talent.

 

[ConceptCoop]

But they didn't have to overpay in the draft, right? Did the Seahawks? Broncos? Saints? Patriots? Vikings? Ravens? (Off the top of my head.)

You don't have to overpay in the draft to land a QB.

 

[ConceptCoop]

No, he played with inferior talent.

The smaller the school, the less talented the roster.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Drew Henson.

Only after Henson had been out of Football for awhile. Coming back to Football, Henson was not viewed as a sure thing.

Quincy Carter was our Paxton Lynch. He was a project we reached for and it set us back for years.

Paxton Lynch is a much better prospect then Carter and he doesn't have the personal issues that Carter did. Quincy was weakminded and that's why he failed. He had accuracy issues but the real problem was that he simply wasn't strong enough. Another huge difference is that Lynch, were he taken by the Cowboys, would have time to sit and develop. Carter didn't have that any he needed that more then most.
