Are there really things that the Cowboys believe Driskel and Hundley can do that they believe RGIII cannot do?

FRISCO - A couple of weeks ago, in the wake of Alex Smith’s retirement and Colt McCoy’s move to Arizona, we theorized that the herd of potential Dallas Cowboys No. 2 QBs was thinning down to maybe three.

Jeff Driskel. Brett Hundley. And Robert Griffin III.

The herd just got thinner. And RG3 is aware.

On Tuesday, we used Twitter to both report on and poke fun at Dallas’ search. The Cowboys first whispered that Driskel had a “great visit” to The Star and suggested to at least one media outlet that a signing was pretty much forthcoming.

It never happened.

And now that Driskel has signed with the Houston Texans, the same whispered suggestions want Cowboys Nation to know that QB Brett Hundley, who is this week’s special guest here at The Star, actually ranks higher in their eyes than Driskel did.

Sign Him between Him and Dak they will have 2 good legs.

Then Dak and RG3 can talk about their one hit wonder, rookie years

I'd rather roll with GG. I saw what I needed to see when he played against the Steelers. He could do the job comparatively. I'd prefer not to have to deal with the thought but if Dak goes down (for any real time), it doesn't really matter anyways.

I would rather have RGIII as a BU. His style of play fits better with this Offense. RGIII can hold the fort down a couple of games if Dak is out longer then that then were drafting in top ten again.

I'll just roll with Garrett Gilbert, largely because I don't see anyone especially favorable for the backup QB spot. Here's hoping GG is the same guy who showed up so well vs. the Steelers last year. Let's also hope Dak's rebuilt ankle holds up throughout the 17 games that beckon him in 2021. :eek:

so 4900 yards 30 tds to 11 ints and a qbr of 99.7 in 2019 wasn’t good enough for ya huh?

you do realize if you pair that level of qb play with most defenses out there you are in conference game consideration.

Dak can only control the offensive side of the ball and it has been long know and documented how poor our defense has played. He has room to get better but rg3 never had a follow up year even in the ballpark of what dak has done...fair to be critical but also give the guy credit where it’s due
