Aaron Murray anyone?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Reid doesn't run our offense.

 

[Zekeats]

I'm only interested in guys who've at least started a handful of games at some point right now. If Dak can't cut it, fine, we'll spend big resources to find an option who can. Right now we need a veteran who can give us something Dak and Jameil cannot if we're going to take the trouble to bring him up to speed with the offense.

Why. We had Weeden and Cassel play last year and they got us 1-11. I would rather see the young and unproven who could at least improvise when a play breaks down.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Yes I would take Murray!

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

He played for Georgia at a time when Todd Gurley was running wild. I don't know that Murray's resume translate into much more significant. Besides, it would be hard enough for this kid to come in and play as it is. It would be next to impossible for him to learn our Offense to boot. JMO

yeah but his brother is a bad guy on Bachelor in Paradise so bring him just for the entertainment value

I want to play the young, unproven guy. But I'd prefer if we're adding a third QB that it be somebody with game-day experience. One, because that experience on the sidelines helps. And two, because there just aren't young guys with potential worth developing available on the street right now. But there are a couple of old coots let go at cutdowns usually.

Side note: I think Dallas should kick the tires on Bjeorn Werner too.. Former first rounder that Marenilli could work his magic. Not to mention he's German and would give fellow teammate Nzeocha someone to relate too

If you were talking about two black guys this would be offensive. Im not sure how Germans feel about it...

I don't know about if there is a problem coming to learn the offense.

This offense changes dramatically with DAK.

So the offense being taught will be relatively new to all.

I don't see the issue.

Now if it was game 6 and we had to bring somebody in like last year..

that's a game changer.

 

[DandyDon52]

He has zero NFL experience. I don't know if that's what you want backing up Dak. I really think the team is going to look for a seasoned vet with NFL starting experience.

This is it exactly, they want a vet .........like we had last year !!

If I was the only American on a German sports team in Germany, I think Id be stoked to have another American on the team. I would care if they were orange. I get your point though.. unfortunately, In todays world it dosent take much to offend folks. The new generations are a bunch of self entitled pansies.

I wasn't being the PC police...I just think that phenomenon is funny.

How does the Offense change dramatically? As far as I know, Dak is running the same Offense Tony was running. The plays might change a little, in that each QB has certain strengths but what else would change? We are not going away from our running game. We are not going away from Dez as the primary target and we aren't running the spread. I don't think it really changes much. IDK

 

[darthseinfeld]

He's 6'1" 207 lbs. He has no NFL experience and that means that he would likely be getting hit while learning. I don't know why we would consider this kid over Showers who, at least is familiar with our Offense, is bigger at 6'2" 230 lbs and he can contribute on special teams.

Honestly I think the fact they are looking at guys like Murray could be indictitive of their opinion of Showers as a prospect

 

[erod]

Murray is interesting, but I think Minnesota will likely trade for him now.

I don't know that they are looking at Murray or not. I have not seen that reported but they may be. For the purpose of this conversation, it was just an idea suggested in this thread. I would expect the team to always churn so I would not be surprised if they are looking at him but I don't think that means they are looking to replace Showers because of how he is performing. They may just see a player and feel like he offers more then the one they may currently have. IDK.

Really?

Did it appear to you that what DAK was running and what Romo was running is the same offense?

Not to me.

DAK was throwing deep downfield..

he was rolling out and tucking the ball and scoring..

Romo has not thrown deep passes in years.

One of DAKs passes went 60+ yds in the air to TWilliams.

That is not Romo offensive football.

Different offense..bro.

Romo got himself hurt breaking the pocket. If anything, the Offense is simplified for Dak but it's the same Offense. Terminology is the same, the plays are in the playbook and the focus is still the running game. Dez isn't running routes that do not suit him. It's not a different Offense. As I said earlier, each QB has their own strengths and the coaching staff would be wise to take advantage of this but the Offense itself is not different.

I agree, Dak will need to rely on those around him and something like changing the entire offense will only put Dak into poor situation since with that altering will come a lot more mistakes and penalties as players adjust to a new system. it is clearly the same offense and system in place. I do think there are plays within a playbook that you may call more often for 1 QB as opposed to a different QB to put them in their own comfort zone.

You vill pay for zat offense.

 

[xwalker]

Very good point. I doubt Broaddus or Fish would have mentioned him without hearing some whispers around The Star.

They've done it many times in the past and the Cowboys would later indicate they never had interest in the players mentioned.

I think you are taking me too litetally, bro.

Of course it's the same in many respects ..

but I clearly see very different calls for DAK.

And very different results..

DAKa arm strength is better..

his running is better..

the rest will come with play.

I fully expect a difference in their games by design.

I would refer you to Jon Gruden's article on ESPN today..

he discusses this subject.
