I don't understand what the Browns are doing! Yes I know McCown is better the manziel right now but he's like 38. They're playing him like they have a chance to do anything this year. Play Manziel all year and see what you have in Him. Doesn't make sense to me.

We need to start looking early in the draft for QB very soon. I'd prefer our next franchise QB sits on the bench behind Romo for 3 years before taking over. There hasn't been a QB besides Luck who came in as a rookie and is still great. A few QBs started off hot and then fizzled. I'd prefer going the Aaron Rodgers route, getting a QB in the mid-to-late 1st round and sitting him behind Romo for 3 years. We can't afford to try to develop any late rounders. And we don't want to risk depending on a rookie in 3-4 years.

What, just what, if Romo comes back and is injured again signaling he's done. Do we move up in the draft?
I think the prudent thing to do is trade a player for Jonny F as insurance, if nothing else he could use his legs to beat 8 men in the box and easily roll away from trouble. I think there is little to lose and solid upside. Then draft 1 or even 2 QB's.

That works against Tech. It gets you killed in the NFL. Just ask RG3, Kaepernick, and countless others.

Even Luck has had his issues over the past 2 years. If you've watched any of the Colts games, you've seen quite a few passes get away from him. I do like his mobility but I don't see him ever being as good as Manning was there. And it's not like Luck hasn't had good weapons, although their O-Line leaves a lot to be desired at times.....

I don't like the idea of targeting any position in the draft, especially if it means moving up in the first. Snagging a guy like Wentz or Lynch who falls to you somewhere on day two, now that's a different story.

7 NFL teams that must starting looking to the future at QB

...4. Dallas Cowboys


We have seen first hand this season how the Cowboys have fallen apart without Tony Romo under center. Having to rely on the likes of Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel has this team potentially looking at a lost season.

What might be bad for the short term could very well work out for Dallas over the long term. With Romo's injury history, owner Jerry Jones and Co. have to seriously consider drafting a quarterback next year. Even if Romo does play out the remainder of his deal through the 2019 season, the Cowboys would be wise to add a young quarterback behind him.

It could come in the form of a trade with another team or a draft pick. As a Texas native, Johnny Manziel has been linked to the Cowboys since prior to the 2014 draft. Adding him on the cheap as a project behind Romo could make some sense here. Outside of that, Hackenberg's skill set seems to fit what Jason Garrett likes to do on offense...

Way more than 7 teams need a QB for the future.

I agree. I don't think Luck is anywhere near elite. I think he'll improve and could maybe even play at a very high level if he had a good team around him. But I think he could've possibly even been better if he sat for a few years. Maybe the Colts should've kept Manning and sat Luck behind him. It wasn't practical but might've been the best thing for the team in the present (back then) and future. All in all, I don't like seeing QBs start as rookies. I think every QB could be better if they sit a year or a few. Look at Aaron Rodgers. I wonder what kind of QB he would be now if he started immediately.

It's an odd photoshop concept. I just wondered if it had some meaning.


Well, we all know that Brainsy is damn backwoods sexy...
This is obviously a hacked laptop cam pic capture taken in real-time, no doubt.

I would actually question @DoctorChicken about the source of said picture and how it got into his hands.

I may need his services in the near future...

If we can't draft a qb then we might not have another option but Stafford..it is what it is. I'll worry about it later. Romo still has 3 solid years left minimum.

Romo may not make it through another season. Three years is wishful thinking.
