The Cowboys clearly have too much talent wrapped up in the backup QB position. We really need to trade a couple of these guys away for a couple of first round picks.

It’s really an embarrassment of riches situation we have going. How would we ever pay these guys if we keep all of them?

I know. Our GM has done a fantastic job. We could trade him for two first round picks.

I think Jerry keeps crappy backups on the roster on purpose. Wouldn't want the average starter feeling threatened.

Who knows, maybe Dak would do better if there was good competition waiting in the wings to take his job away.

The contract he signed pretty much wiped out any competition. Do you really want a $40 million backup?

Give Cleveland a call. They love trading #1 picks for QB's.
But apparently not for WRs. :laugh:

Very, very few NFL teams have quality backup QBs. It’s one of many reasons why the market for starting QBs in the league is so high.

How? He invested 10 million in Dalton and it was a waste of money.

Teams put so much money into their starting QB it’s very difficult to afford a quality backup and besides there’s not many quality backup QBs out there.
Yeah I was actually looking at a list of the best backup quarterbacks and names like Flacco and Tyrod Taylor were brought up. There’s not many good QBs in this league and there surely isn’t enough to have two of them on one team.

Most teams don’t even have one good qb but I guess Cowboy fans want two good QBs on the roster somehow…..
