I've gone back and forth on the whole QB situation. Do we draft one in the first this year or go for broke and try to make a run at the SB?
As great as it would be to actually be in the hunt this year, I don't think we'll have the defensive chops to pull it off. And that's IF Romo can stay healthy all year...which I don't see happening.
Our defensive line is a wreck now. We have two above average players, Crawford and Lawrence. Neither have shown to be a super star, command double team type player. I have hopes that they can, but I'm not sure next year will be the breakout year. And as I've said many times, I think Crawford is playing out of position to begin with.
At LB, we have Sean Lee and some nice, young talent. But no one that really grabs your attention.
Secondary we have Scandrick and Thomas. Scandrick coming off surgery and not getting younger. Carr is slightly above average but not worth what he is getting paid. Church is a below average cover guy.
Offensively we have a very good o line. A number 1 WR with physical gifts but lacking in other areas. Our number 2 WR is not dependable. And our future HOF TE needs to be replaced, sadly to say. And we have a merely average RB, if he stays healthy.
So, I'm now back in the draft QB at 4 camp. Get the guy that can hopefully be Romo's replacement.
Cut Carr, Church and Witten this year. Draft their replacements. Find a couple good deal FAs this year to fill in the rest. I'm not writing off this year, I'm just not going all in.
Now you can work in the rookie QB this year. Preseason, spot duty. He'll have a full year to get used to the NFL.
2017 rolls around and yes - I release Romo, free up 14 mill and usher in the new age. This team needs a new identity. The Romo, Witten, Garrett trio of bromance needs to be gone. It hasn't worked, for what ever reasons. And yes, I'd look to replace Garrett and staff at the end of 2016, unless he manages to get us to the Divisional game at least.
