Burrows could turn Cowboys around

[joseephuss]

I don’t recall Mahomes on anyone’s big radar screen?

Mahomes also didn't go #1 overall. He did go #10, but there is a difference in trading up to acquire the 10th pick and the top spot.

If Burrow was as good as you guys think he is why would a team with no quarterback trade away from him? Do you guys ever ask yourself these type of question or do you guys just wing it?

So Burrow is a QB that could finally overcome a bad defense? Sign me up.

Mahomes wasn't the 1st overall pick. Guys with hype like Burrow....Mayfield, Darnold, Winston, Mariota, Tribusky....you see a trend here? Last 1st overall pick to come out of LSU...........

 

[cowboy_ron]

I wish we would. He'll be 5 years of super cheap...so you can expend a draft or two on picks.

We could even throw in what's his name in the deal.

Basically they are telling us he's the best quarterback in the league. Better than Aaron Rodgers and Mahomes.

Who Zeke?

 

[cowboy_ron]

Who Zeke?

Yea, him too

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yea, him too

I was thinking throw in our 1st this year, 1st next year and our 1st the year after that, Zeke, Lawrence and Gallup.....for Burrow and a 7th rounder.

Some things just shouldn't be public knowledge.

I think Burrows is a really good prospect. It would just kill the team draft picks wise and has like a 0.01% chance of happening. Ya know

 

[Zekeats]

heck i would do it for 3 1st RD picks but the price is way way more than that.

true. It would have to be at least 2 2nds and that means you could kiss at least 2 full drafts goodbye. On top of that there are no guarantees so its a huge risk. If you knew you were getting a top 5 QB though you gotta make the trade.

Another veiled "I HATE DAK PRESCOTT" thread. Sweet!! Case Keenum, Matty Stafford, Tom Brady, Burrow ... the list goes on... just ANYONE literally but Dak. The discomfort, disgust and outrage with our young QB is fascinating.

Take an Aleve.

We've seen very good prospects before. Darnold, Mayfield are the latest ones. Granted, they are still young and could develop into something eventually but they've already wasted 2 years developing.

History says stay away from these type of guys. History says the guy further down the QB rankings in the draft will have a better shot at succeeding than the 1st quarterback taken. I think if the Cowboys want a quarterback the smarter move would be to trade up or down for one of the lesser known prospects who'd be easier to get. Trading multiple 1sts just isn't smart to do.

You don't think that's enough? Want to throw in Pollard?

 

[CouchCoach]

There is the same risk with Burrow that there is with any QB and giving up what they'd have to give up could hurt the progress but that depends on what players they take with those picks.

I do agree that he would have a much better chance with the Cowboys than that dumpster fire in CIN, they may have a shot at Lawrence next year.

There are two ways to look at Burrow's year. He's a one year wonder, because he wasn't a blip on the Heisman radar before the season began, or he responded to a change in offensive philosophy. The philosopher of that is now in CAR.

Joe had a magical year, never been one like it in the history of college football but he also had the #1 rated OL and WR corps in the FBS as well as the highest rated secondary. We talk about that support a QB needs, he had a bushel of it. He struggled at OSU and transferred and was just a QB until this season when he became all world.

I will admit it, it is enticing because I saw every game he played, being a Tigers fan, and kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Not only did that not happen but he was stealing DB's shoes on the other teams.

If I was trading up that high, I'd keep Prescott and take Chase Young because he's the can't miss player in this draft, if there is one. Put him opposite of Lawrence and just sit back and watch. I've never seen a DE that dominant, not either Bosa or Clowney at SC. I watched them scheme against him and he'd end up beating it. Many think he's to DE's what Donald is to DT's. I'd surely rather see him in a Cowboys uni than a Skins.

Question was this Burrow guy as good in his other years or was this year just ridiculously amazing? Asking for a friend

Day by day he's earning every bit of it.

 

[Proof]

If you want to make the biggest splash generating enthusiasm, excitement and a renewed hope for this generation and the next providing McCarthy true Elite talent to develop , Burrows is it.

He could struggle and possibly even be a bust in Cincinnati but in this offense and strong supporting cast it could be the impact we’ve seen with Mahomes.

Even this old burned out Cowboy fan would buy a jersey and a ticket to go see. It would turn Dallas on its ear. And hit a home run for Jerry as well. I’d toast to the old SOB for the greatest move since the early 90’s trade with Herschel.

Id truly have hope again!!

I think you mean the Bengals would turn the Cowboys around. And bend them over
