Cowboys in Enviable Position with Fewer Great QBs

He completed 63% of his passes with a WR group that was arguably the worst in the NFL.

He's gonna be a pain in our *** for years.

If our front office does this team right (defense), we will be their's, too. I agree, tho, Syd, Wentz is the real deal.

Dak is truth, tho. He's legit. He went off in his first ever postseason appearance. He will be more successful than Wentz.

Romo is gone. Now Sanders (DEN) is calling for him. The only person of note* saying Romo will start next year for us is Skip Bayless.

*media. Grain of salt.

We'll have to agree to disagree on Wentz.

But for sure: Romo is gone.
 
We are definitely in the middle of a "changing of the guard" in the NFL as far as QB's are concerned. Over the next 5 years we'll be saying goodbye to Romo, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Palmer, Eli, Brees, Brady, and maybe Rodgers. That will leave us with young guys like Dak, Wentz, Wilson, Mariota, Winston, Newton, and Carr. It will be interesting to see which of these younger guys will take that next step and become "elite". We definitely got lucky with Dak. I believe he is the real deal and will be this teams QB for a very long time.
 
Right now the state of young NFL QBs is looking good. Prescott, Wentz, Mariota and Winston all show major promise. Add in Wilson, Luck and Newton and you have a strong future top 10 QBs in the league. The changing of the guard has been in progress for a couple of years.

Brady will be 40 next season. Romo 37. Ryan 32. Drew Brees turns 39 in January, the same month Aaron Rogers enjoys his 34th birthday and Carson Palmer his 38th. Roethlisberger will be 35 in March and he's hinting at the end of a career.

Recent drafts of Manziel, Bortles, Osweiler haven't delivered, and though Mariota and Winston have looked good...they don't have the leadership qualities, maturity and decision making that we've already seen in Prescott.

Meanwhile draft pundits decried the absence of top quarterbacks in the 2016 class. Rumors are that Rams officials knew Goff was a bust by the end of mini-camps. Wentz didn't seem to improve during the '16 season. (to Risen's utter dismay)

No quarterbacks in the 2017 class are seen as sure things.

In Dallas? All Dak did is enjoy the greatest season ever seen by a rookie quarterback. He's 23 and signed on a ridiculously affordable contract.

We are in a are very enviable position, bros.

I would put Russell Wilson in the "young" class of high quality QB's (he's 28, so he has a lot of quality years ahead) along with Mariota, Winston, Dak, Cam, and Carr. I still think Wentz will end up being a good one, too, and I wouldn't at all call Goff a bust just yet, but the Rams have to get some solid coaching and keep them, for continuity's sake. Hard for a young QB to progress if the system keeps changing. Bridgewater might be a good one, too, if he recovers from injury (very questionable at the moment).

aside from Wilson and Prescott, all of the current up and comers are all high draft picks. it still amazes me that dallas, potentially, has found their last 2 franchise QB's in the 4th round and Romo an undrafted rookie free agent. I sure hope the Cowboys struck gold twice. and if they did, they need to take advantage of Dak's window tenfold in comparison to Romo's window being virtually wasted. That was inexcusable. Fate won't keep rewarding us hidden gems.

Luck is certainly a good one, but he's also now on a 6-year $140 million contract. There isn't much talent surrounding him and he's always running for life.

We had a chance to see Winston versus Dak this season and Winston versus Dak...I like Prescott best.

I expect Seattle and Carolina to return to top form. We will likely get to witness heavy-weight battles against those two teams.

And of course its true that Ryan are Rogers aren't going to start to fade in the next year or two...so there's that.

If I'm not mistaken, Dak had five 4th quarter come from behind wins in the regular season and actually had another in his only playoff game (but that one won't count because of the last second FG that beat them). I'm convinced that had he gotten a shot in OT, he would have led the team to a TD for the win. He just never got the opportunity.

Why would you even consider it? What YOU think is fair?

I would need a team's first and second this draft.

And a team's first next draft. Plus their best DE or LB right now.

And we keep all our picks.

If I could get that kind of deal...............

Roll with Romo, Zeke, Dez, our OL and our greatly improved defense and drive for a SB run in 2017.

Nobody would ever give us all that. So its moot. But its fun to think about.

Indeed. I forgot about Luck...he has to be included, too.

they would have a chance for sure in 2017, but then the window essentially closes. With Dak, that window is still just being opened.

There is little doubt in my mind that if Dak has the same season Wentz had, many here would be talking him up as a great QB of the future.

Wentz looked pretty good for a rookie QB who literally had some of the worst offensive talent in football.

Sean McVay is purportedly an insanely smart guy and a bit of a quarterback whisperer. It will be interesting wRams.

They have so very far to go to just be competitive on the offensive side of the ball.
 
In no particular order
Carr, Wilson, Newton, Luck, Prescott, Mariotta, Winston, maybe Wentz....those are the younger guys I can think of

Roger Staubach was drafted 1964 in the 10th RD. He was the 129th pick so in today's NFL that would be a 4th RD pick. Many consider him a "steal" as well :)

wow! 3 of the possible last 4 franchise QB's not premium draft picks! At least Roger got a couple of rings, Romo wont get that chance here unfortunately.
