Backup QB McCown

I think Luke McCown may do all right. Article:

OXNARD, Calif. – Luke McCown had been through 13 NFL seasons and worked for five different NFL clubs, but the chance to play for the Dallas Cowboys was a different matter entirely.

The veteran quarterback fielded plenty of phone calls this offseason, gauging interest from several different teams across the league. But as a native of Jacksonville, Texas, he admitted there was one in particular he was holding out hope on.

“I was evaluating a couple of other options, knowing that this could be a possibility,” McCown said Saturday evening. “I was holding out hope – as an East Texas kid, I was holding out hope that something would go down here. Sure enough, it did.”

The Cowboys signed McCown to replace fellow veteran Zac Dysert, who herniated a disc in his back on Thursday. The 36-year-old most recently spent four seasons behind Drew Brees with the New Orleans Saints.

I hope he never sees the field, but if he does, he'll be steady. I also think he'll be a good influence and mentor for Dak. Luke's been around forever and has a lot of knowledge. He's a coaches son and has been around the sport his whole life.

Do the Cowboys carry 3 QB's on the 53 this year? I have a hard time believing they do.

Bye Moorelicia!

I think he has a shot of beating out Kellen Moore. If not, maybe he gets put on the practice squad.

Neither Moore nor McCown can go to the practice squad. Too many years in the league.

I see. Oh, well, I guess McCown will just be competition for the #2 spot. I believe in competition.

They need another arm to get through practice and preseason. The other dude threw his arm out.

Nothing more.

What happened to Butt Fumble? He go to another team?

Yes, Bears, Rev. So far they're saying he's second string. Which is odd with Glennon and Trubisky.

Coaches are saying Glennon is the starter but there's rumblings of Mitch taking it. Don't see Sanchez as the second string by season's end, either way.

Chicago, if I'm not mistaken.

You isn't, my brother

Sanchez was a turnover machine. I like him as a person, really good attitude, but not as a QB.

Well, be glad he's on the Bears then

Make him a coach, so we can pay him and have him ready if the worst happens, then we just sign him.

he can be backup and kellen will be qb coach/backup and romo will be broadcaster/backup

I remember when he played for the Cardinals.

Dallas pummeled that poor kid yet he hung in there like a battered boxer.

Woodson said after the game he started feeling sorry for the kid.......

Sounds like a good signing !!!
