BTB: Cowboys News & Notes: Paxton Lynch or Jared Goff or RG3?

[Toruk_Makto]

No "hate". It is just the idea that some of us are not into wasting time.

That was kind of fun back when Al Davis signed Plunkett.

This is a different era and a much different athlete.

I don't find it "wasting time" taking a look at a top 3 drafted qb who has had success in this league and isn't yet 27.

Imagine if the Cardinals had thought let's not waste our time on a washed up veteran like Carson.

What "success"?

Might as well sign Kaepernick. He has two healthy knees.

Yea RG 3 is terrible. He's never going to be what he once was. He's been exposed.

Been? He was exposed and has been riding a bench for an entire year.

But hey, sign up for that!

He was the third pick in the draft and had "success"!

 

[Redball Express]

You mean you don't understand Fantasy Football.

These same people follow the sport like it was Fantasy Football.

Thank goodness they cracked down on the Fantasy Football Gambling sites.

I was getting tired of that stuff

Yeah winning the Rookie of the Year in the NFL should be viewed as a success.

And yes he sat in a very disfunctional situation. No reason not to kick the tires if he's available for cheap. It's what we did with DMC.

Stop it. You are embarrassing yourself.

Let's get RG3 and JM. How many more 6th and 7th rounders do we have left?

 

[Bleu Star]

I think both will be there. Cle will not select QB and we will pick ahead of SF

Omg that scenario would make me soil my shorts.

 

[Bleu Star]

Common sense says use the top 5 on a QB if Goff or Lynch are there ... Romo has 2-3 years left (maybe), I'd be very surprised if Romo ever played 16 games again ... so either QB thats drafted would likely get playing time. But thats what common sense says and we all know this organization lacks common sense at times. I say no to RG3 or Manziel.

I said it to my buddy during the game and you can print it. Romo will most likely never play a full season again in his remaining NFL years. His mind can. His body can't.

Draft Goff.

RGIII was successful his rookie year running the zone read. Once teams figured him out, he hasn't been the same since. Doesn't have the instincts to run a NFL style offense.

That's probably true. I don't see the harm if he's available bringing him in for a look.

Smart teams look at guys cheaply all the time.

 

[ConstantReboot]

If they sign RGIII or make a move for Manziel AND spend a top 5 pick on a quarterback, that would be going overboard. If we spend a top 5 pick, I do not want them being an inactive 3rd stringer when I am sure we will pass on premier talent to land that quarterback.

As for Griffin, I don't think it's that realistic. I am sure the team will consider him but he is not going to sign to be a backup, he has a pro bowl caliber season under his belt in a QB starved league, he will get a shot. Dallas isn't going to pay him much more than backup money as well. I am sure his agent will demand a contract similar to what Foles signed a few months ago. A short contract paying him north of 10 million so he can earn a huge contract if he has success. Dallas won't offer him that much money or q chance to prove he is a starter.

Manziel is more realistic because you have him under a more reasonable contract for 2-3 years if you make a move to get him. Only way we will get any decent veteran quarterback is through trade...anyone of any value will sign somewhere for more money where they can play.

He was a probowler because the coaches then knew how to use him and drew up specific plays around his skillset. RB3 will not work in a vanilla scheme like Garrett's and would be nothing more than a glorified benchwarmer. Garrett will try and make him as if were a pocket passer with precision timing passes which RB3 can't do. Eventually he will get benched and people will start to criticize him for not being able to grasp the playbook.

He is a bad fit for this team as Murray is for the Eagles.

Manziel is a less risky move and a more likely scenario. We can draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd also which is another alternative. So just say NO to RG3. He just doesn't fit here in Dallas.

 

[The Fonz]

.. but that would give Lee someone to hang out with during the season!

M*A*S*H in Dallas

 

[Sasquatch]

They are going to do something on the veteran front. If you look at the available free agents, it looks like a bunch of Weedens and Cassels.

If Griffin is available, it is almost a foregone conclusion he gets serious consideration.

Think of the reasons. Jones still marvels at his 4TDs on Thanksgiving. There is the idea of "sticking it" to a division rival, even though it would really be doing them a favor. He is likely to get a strong plug from Briles, who has some ears in in the organization. Hometown boy coming back to Dallas. It would even sell a bunch of jerseys.

Just revolting.

Plus he loves reclamation projects that show his football acumen.

It is the remnants of what he thinks he learned from Al Davis.

No RG3

Oh I agree completely. RGIII makes zero sense not only from a financial perspective but he is a poor fit as well. Manziel is a much better fit since he will come with a reasonable contract and how he improvises, reminds me of a young Romo. If Manziel will listen, Romo could possibly teach him how to be a quarterback.

 

[Hardline]

Not having a contingency plan at the most important position on the field is the dumbest thing ever.

Not taking a QB in the first round of this draft is not abandoning the contingency plan. There will be QBS in every draft.
