2019 Potential FA QBs to Replace Dak

Starforever · Dec 17, 2018

After the first two, it turned into a SNL skit. There is no way that I would seriously consider anyone after the top two.

THEHEREAFTER · Dec 17, 2018

CZ PLEASE for the love of God, do not applaud/support or cheer for Dak the rest of the season. Be consistent.

Granted, the Cowboys organization loves Dak for some reason, so this discussion might be all-for-naught. But contrary to what the "we can't get anyone better than Dak right now" crowd says, there might be a few options, if the Cowboys wanted to explore them.

Here's a list of potential free agent QBs this offseason:

> Teddy Bridgewater -- catastrophic injury is completely behind him now, and he's only 26. Showed flashes in the 2018 preseason. There will probably be a big market for him.

> Nick Foles -- Slated to make $20 million next year, so the Eagles will have to let him go.

> Joe Flacco -- Looks pretty evident that the Ravens are ready to hand the reigns to Jackson. Doubt they'll keep Flacco as their backup

> Jameis Winston -- Pretty much a headcase, but he's 25 and would come relatively cheap.

> Derek Carr -- was playing at an MVP level 2 years ago before getting hurt. Gruden is cleaning house, so may Carr may be purged also.

> Ryan Tannehill -- He'll probably be retained by the Dolphins since they Osweiler is their only other legit QB with experience. But Tannehill has proven he can't lead the Dolphins anywhere, so they may cut bait.

> Josh McCown -- old but reliable. Would he be a good stop gap?

> Brock Osweiler -- has played better with the Dolphins than he did with the Texans or Browns. And he's still only 28.

> Tyrod Taylor -- he's a good leader and has had moderate levels of success. And he's only 29.

> Ryan Fitzpatrick -- Fitzmagic in Big D for a year or two?

Who would you be intrigued by? I'd take 4-5 of these guys over Dak right now.

Carr is the only one I'd even consider. All the rest are like Winston, a head case, or too old, or have had their chance and didn't show much. Like Bridgewater, Dak has "shown flashes". Getting him would be like the Vikes getting Cousins, they traded away pretty much the same type of quarterback they got, and neither has lit up the league.

If Dak can't get better soon, I'd have to go with a qb in the draft...

I would take any of them over Dak, except the ones I highlighted. I'm a maybe on Tyrod Taylor. Neither Jameis nor Brock impresses me at all.
There's little doubt in my mind that any of the other guys on that list would either moderately, or possibly in some instances greatly (Foles, Bridgewater, Fitzpatrick) improve our QB play and elevate this offense.

If the choice was between Dak and either Osweiler or Winston, I would stick with Dak and hold my nose.

Ultimately I want the kid from Mizzou when he comes out in a year or two.
And I hope/pray that Zeke and the rest of the considerable talent on offense haven't been thoroughly wasted and beaten down by then.

We did, this past draft. He can prove himself next training camp.

At the very least, they need to get some competition for Dak. Hell, they should have before this season.

It's the "Grass is greener" syndrome.

Prescott has issues, but I think the biggest issue is the direction of the offense.

The Cowboys had almost 300 yards of total offense and 19 first downs... Those aren't "Shut-out" numbers. They've had issues in the red-zone all season. If you're telling me that Teddy Bridgewater or Joe Flacco is going to solve the red-zone problems, I'll say you're full of crap.

Fix the direction of the offense first. Then let's talk QB's.

Depends on where you view the redzone problem. IMO 70% of the redzone problems are on Dak and his inability to make contested throws in shorter windows, he can't throw a fade to save his life either. 20% are execution by the offense, and 10% are bad play calls. I can't stand the Jumbo set, terrible philosophy.

Carr would be the only one worth any interest. Would have to run it by Amari though and see if there's any issues there

No thanks. Carr is the same level as dak. I wa t foles it Flacco. Flacco has the most talent.

You spelled Foles wrong.

Flacco is garbage.

Daks inability to read defenses at the line and during plays is worse than his accuracy,

Elusive6thRing · Dec 17, 2018

Flacco got benched for a QB that can barely throw, yet you think he'll fix our throwing woes in Dallas?

Risen Star · Dec 17, 2018

Bridgewater
Foles
Draft

There is life after this bum. You dropped the ball two years ago and we're now stuck with crap at QB. Any decent veteran QB can give you mediocre play, which is what we get now, until you find your future and I think Bridgewater at least has a shot to be that future.

Sure, it's a waste of time because the Cowboys are so poorly managed but this absolutely is what should happen. Flush this bum off of the roster. Disinfect and move on. Let him accept challenges and point to the sky and work hard and all that meaningless nonsense somewhere else. You need talent at the most important position on the field.

You mean Gruden's record, right?

If you're ranking QBs by record, Dak is just behind Brady.

yet when Romo had great numbers, many of the same guys who are complaining about Dak's numbers now whined that he couldn't win when it counts.

I get the feeling many just like the complain. Since watching football is supposed to be entertainment, a way to get away from life's problems for three hours, if it upsets you so much to watch that you have to complain about everything, why watch?

LOL...…..Time to turn in your Dallas Card. Dak isn't going anywhere. Nice new contract. Fix the Oline and this is a top 5 offense again.

Someone pull the stats on yards per run inside the red zone. It’s equally on the o line. How many rushing tds does zeke have this year? Zeke must suck all of a sudden?

25 million per season sounds about right. Poor guy, what are you going to do?

Romo was benched for a while who can barely throw. He wasn’t allowed to compete. Why? Because he would’ve won by a lot. Dak is trust younger just like Jackson is younger.

Forget 2019. Nothing to find there.

2020 is the year we should go after a QB. Which we cant because we traded our first rounder in 2019. We should have bundled it with some more 2019 picks.

But now we have a great WR who will demand a big contract but we will complement him with an college QB who will get mils/year and we will be in mediocrity foe the next 4 to.5.year just because the Alcoholic loves to be forbes #1.

Enough of this... i have to puke again.
