Not buying it. We'd have to give up #4 this year, our 2nd rounder and then our 1st rounder next year for someone who's not even going to play right away.

I think Connor Cook in the second is much more realistic as such a scenario guarantees that we may as well start over.

If this were to happen, I am not sure what would be more fun to watch -- Risen's dream scenario coming true and having to give the front office credit or the lamentations of the anti-QB crowd.

Wonder if our 1 this year, our 1 next year and Leary would get us to the 1st pick to grab Wentz....

Trading up to no 1 to nab a 3 or 4 year clipboard holder. Sounds brilliant.

No 1 3000 points.
No 4 1800 points.

I guess we can trade 1, 2, 3, 4 and next years 1st for a back up QB

or we could use those 5 picks to actually help the team.

If there is any truth at all to this rumor it means they believe Romo is done!

Why does it matter so much that he's not going to play this year?

Do you know how much we'll have to give up to move up if we're drafting in the 20s?

How sad would it be to watch Wentz or Goff go to the Browns or 49ers and play at a pro bowl level for years while we have no QB because we settled for the likes of Dak Prescott or Connor Cook

If the Carson scenario happens, we may not hear from @Risen ever again. "Risen walked with Wentz, but he was not for Wentz took him." (For all you Bible students.) ;)

I agree that the cost would likely be prohibitive to moving up but disagree with the notion that any QB we draft is nothing more than a glorified clipboard holder.

This team must have a succession plan in place for life after Romo and the sooner, the better imo. I love Romo but he is nearing the end.

IF we can move up to 1 for a first next year and that alone...I would absolutely do it...for whichever QB this team wants

We're not trading up to #1 for Wentz. We might be inquiring to the cost for diligence. Or to get an idea what it would cost another team to leap us into a scenario where both QBs are gone by four.

I'm in favor of taking either top QB if he's there where we sit. I wouldn't consider moving up for either of them. I'd rather try to get back into the first with a first rounder next year to get Lynch if we thought we could do it and really wanted to add that franchise guy now.

If the scouting department is advising the team to move up to 1 to get a qb...you do it

Agreed. We may never again be in this close striking distance to the #1 overall pick with a team that is arguably talented enough to contend.
