Broaddus: Starting to look like coaches plan on Kellen Moore as #2 QB

[Mr Cowboy]

This will get the natives restless.

for a few days, then they will buy Jerry's Kool aide and proclaim it a genius move!

 

[Pabst]

At this point I get the feeling that Wentz is the pick at 4 if he's there.

 

[RS12]

He has mentioned that Moore can "win games" recently.

Where Boise St?

 

[speedkilz88]

Quarterbacks get paid. Even crappy ones. See Ryan Tannehill, Sam Bradford, and Nick Foles.

Colt McCoy made 1.5 million last season.

 

[Nightman]

Doing Less with Moore

 

[Vinnie2u]

Wentz or Goff come on down. You're the next contestant...

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Yeah the coaches are being honest with their plans now of all times. Seeing how cagey Garrett et al are to the press I don't buy this at all.

I respectfully disagree. If Wentz can fix our pass rush, give us a quality cover corner, force more turnovers, or add speed at receiver; then he'd be a no-brainer pick.

I'm worried about Romo's health, too, but this team proved in 2015 it can't win with a backup QB. I find it hard to believe a rookie quarterback that played on the FCS level could come in and simply replace Romo this year (assuming he'd even have to). With two of the top 34 picks in this draft I think the Cowboys should get a couple impact defensive players. Just my opinion.

I find it hard to believe that a rookie CB will come in and become an interception machine, when all the other first round CBs and high priced FAs have never been able to do that. You can not keep using high round picks over and over. Other positions need players too.

I didn't say I think he should be the pick, just that he will be.

 

[DeaconMoss]

It is a better option Colt McCoy or Chase Daniel. Moore doesnt have a great arm but he does have intangibles like pocket presence etc.

Colt and Chase are better options. You are correct?

 

[Alexander]

Everyone's thoughts outside of our front office

Don't forget floaty.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I didn't say I think he should be the pick, just that he will be.

And I think you might be right.

And in spite of what I wrote above, Wentz could be a good move for this team with 2017 or 2018 in mind. I would just prefer an instant impact player.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Mr. 435!

Nothing to see here, so a Rookie QB will run 3rd ... for awhile.

 

[Alexander]

Colt and Chase are better options. You are correct?

All the same limited player who can't win.

 

[cowboyblue22]

the cowboys are a mess and its starting to look like it may not get fixed this year.

From what I've heard, Jalen Ramsey is a rare, special talent. And Marcus Peters last year proved rookie corners can be interception machines; and guys like Darrelle Revis and Patrick Peterson were difference makers right away too.

The Cowboys got it all wrong in 2012 with Mo Claiborne; but they shouldn't let that scare them if Ramsey is somehow still there at #4.

Drafting a QB is not about winning now. It's about having a QB when romo is gone. No single pick is going to put this team over the top and make them SB contenders so why not fix the QB spot while you have a chance

DAL can draft for the future and sign a one year stop gap for QB2.

By next year Goff/Wentz will be the back-up but if they pick it up quick enough we can trade our back-up at the trade deadline this year.
