The best quarterbacks of the past decade have been athletic playmaking quarterbacks. Drafting Trevor Lawrence may be the dumbest mistake a franchise can make. Hopefully, Fields will be available with the cowboys draft pick

Fields plays exactly like a bigger Russel Wilson with similar arm talent and an uncanny sixth sense for the deep ball.

Lawrence’s ceiling is a worse Andrew Luck. Someone who in his BEST season didn’t even have numbers better than Russel Wilson’s WORST season since 2015

Fields looks really good.

The rest of your post is gibberish.

I notice you left out two rookie QBs this year that look outstanding.
Burrow and Herbert are record-setting rookies.

Lawrence is more like Mahomes than any of the guys on your list.
He's certainly WAY more athletic than Prescott....and faster than Prescott and Mahomes.

I think maybe you are looking at the color of his skin?

Either way

News just in, Dallas will be sticking with Dak

Well we say that and then Daniel Jones and Dwayne Haskins get drafted last year lol.

Right and the fact Jake Locker,Blake Bortles and Blaine Gabbert went in the first as well. I don't agree but understand the resistance to the idea of moving on from a qb even with mediocre results or bad results. Around the league it takes a lot for QB turnover. Regardless of the team.

I do not see how the Cowboys could pass on Trevor Lawrence if available. Or Fields, or any other top QB. Highly unlikely to win super bowl paying Dak $35M or more per year.

Right and we are seeing it sooner rather than later. Cardinals moves on from Rosen after a year.....Haskins was done after a year.....seems like Darnold is to. These are high draft picks.....

Cowboys are highly unlikely to win with Lawrence too. We’d have the same holes and weaknesses.....

I don't know why Luck was not on your list, maybe he didn't make OROY or MVP but he was the best QB to be drafted in the last decade. Mahomes and maybe Wilson are ahead now. If Luck had better protection he would still be around and top 3 QB in the league.

Trevor and Luck are similar in a lot of ways. Trevor might not be as much of a mobile QB.

It doesn't matter, you get a chance, you take Trevor and by by Dak.

Russell Wilson and Mahomes are light years ahead of Luck.

I would be absolutely stunned if Dak isn't here next season and Dallas tries drafting a QB in the 1st round. I just do not see it happening.

I don't think they'll end up in the first 3 picks, which is where they'd need to be and I do not underestimate 2 of those team taking Lawrence or Fields and trading them instead of the pick, unless there is a pre-draft haul to be made. And that 3rd team could take Lance, if he gets some more light on him.

The success of QB's like Mahomes, Watson, Murray, Herbert, Allen, Burrow and even Mayfield has stoked the fires of rookie QB's. Prescott has gone against the grain as a 4th rounder and is the exception, far from the rule.

The question isn't how they value Prescott if they do end up in the top 3, it is how much are they willing to give up, including him, if they have to move up? That is a statement unto itself.

And there's another element to this. Dak is a fan favorite and got injured in action, how does Booger feel about not doing his deal now since a lot of people think that's the right thing to do. And let's be realistic here, not all fans are about just winning. The right thing is important to many.

Too many fans forget that the QB position is the absolute hardest to find a quality starter. People acting like Trevor Lawrence is a lock to be great (even if we miraculously ended up with the #1 pick) are overlooking history.

If this organization chooses to not pay Dak (assuming he’s healthy is now a legit top 5-8 QB in this league) it would only be because they are going to do a complete 1989 type rebuild. I doubt JJ has the patience or fortitude to do that at 78.

You're right, it isn't easy finding a good QB. But if you happen to be in position to draft a top prospect at quarterback right before you have to pay the one you have, I think you draft him. That is provided your current QB isn't Mahomes or Wilson like. It's a rare opportunity to get another QB on a 5 year rookie deal just in time.

Ohio St QB’s make me nervous.

Luck was a stud on a bad team. And he was an athletic playmaking stud.

The thing is saying we will not sign Dak does not equate to 1989... That team was absolutely devoid of talent. I remember when we beat the Skins in 89 @ RFK, Paul Palmer was the RB, the QB was Walsh.

Why can't we be the Chargers of last year? They had a horrible season they were fortunate enough to get Herbert and the mini rebuild is in play.
Dak getting paid 40 plus a year on this team makes no sense. We have too many holes to fill.

Herbert has started what 7 games, and although promising, we are ready to say he’s a top tier QB? He might be but he hasn’t proven anything yet other than having a lot of potential. Let’s at least wait a season.

Absolutely no holes on offense if Tyron and Collins come back. OL back to a strength with Knight and Steele getting better. Jarwin and Schultz at TE. Pollard at RB. I would dump Zeke.

Draft all defense from round 2 on. Reinforce responsibilities and fundamentals. Get rid of the freelancers and knuckleheads on defense.

So let me get this straight. You’d rather draft defense the second round on instead of the first round on? How does that help the defense?

If people crowned guys after their first season we’d be thinking highly if Baker Mayfield right now lol.

I’ve seen Lawrence play a couple of times. He looks pretty athletic to me.

He is VERY athletic but he is long and looping. Built much like Wentz.
Takes him a bit to get all that body aligned.
Clemson OL has been very very good so we don't see much break down play from TL yet BUT when he does tuck the ball and run he is a fast man.

I as a lowly couch scout would be a bit wary because I really like QB's over 6'4". I just question if they have the quickness for today's game.
All that said Brady and Manning made a living with a very low athletic bar so if you master NFL defenses to that extent it clearly doesn't matter much.

Where did you hear the handshake at the end of the year. They had a handshake at the beginning of the last year with his agent and the agent pulled the plug and made JJ mad. It’s the agents fault, Dak had to talk to JJ and SJ himself and they came to a agreement he would have signed and time ran out. I think they have a structure they agree on but 35 a year won’t get it now. His agent should have been fired after Dak had to do his job for him. Could have all been finished if his agent didn’t get greedy. Dak should have got involved after that.

The handshake supposedly happened just after the deadline to sign a new contract expired this summer. I can't remember who I heard it from? I'm thinking it might have been Babe Laufenberg, but I could be wrong. I definitely heard it though.

My point was that Lawrence will not be available. Just don't see Dallas finishing 32nd.

Btw. the Dak figure is probably closer to 39-40/yr.....and I agree. But I feel we will sign him anyway.

Not sure about Fields--but I've been a fan since he was in high school. Both he and Lawrence were the two top QBs coming out of HS in that year, and both knew each other in Georgia.

Our difference is simply.....I am a Cowboy fan while you're a DAK FAN.
What are you going to do when Dak is toast?
OMG....

So, if someone disagrees with you they aren't a Cowboy fan.

You are consistent - that's as illogical as everything else you post.
