Confession: I wanted the Cowboys to trade Dak for 2 firsts and a 2nd in March 2017

[millennial_legend]

I think I remember that.

I meant 2017, not 2018.

Darn, imagine if that had happenend...

Imagine this thread if you hadn't taken that last bong hit.

 

[Kevinicus]

And? Who would you have as a QB?

Mahomes maybe?

 

[Kevinicus]

You think he would do any better with the same support group and coaches that Dak has?

Is there any doubt about this?

 

[Asklesko]

Me too. We could have handled it like New England did with Garoppolo. Kept Brady (Romo) and moved one.

After Dak's ROTY season? Dak was considered top 10 at that point.

Not really...not according to people who really know the game (such as NFL GMs). It doesn’t matter that he won RoY...every GM knew Zeke deserved it. Every GM also knows you don’t part with 2 firsts and a 2nd for a QB whose offense finished 32nd in the NFL in pass attempts and 1st in rush attempts.

That said, that was the time when his value was highest. Probably could’ve gotten a 1st...great return for a 4th pick. But I doubt it would’ve been higher...not unless there was a GM out there interested in being fired

Then your next bet would be Tua.

System QB playing in the best system in college sports. Tagliavoa isn't going to be anything in the NFL. He's like a worse and lefty version of Mariota. Only thing I can think of is maybe he saves Kellen Moore's job because he's left handed.

Mahomes maybe?

Who knows, maybe Jerruh would have been the idiot who traded up to take Trubustky.

That is not what I am seeing. I am an Alabama alum and watch every game. The kid is special. Maybe he wont be anyone if he wears the star on his helmet. However if he ends up on a well coached team, he will do well.

He's looking like he might have a good future too.

Darn, imagine if that had happenend...

No one would give up 2 1sts for Dak.

Your confession should have been giving up on the green stuff. There isn’t a team in this league other than the boys this stupid.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Yes. It's not about the support group. It's about the quarterback. Our QB is 2nd round talent drafted in the 4th round, so we got a good player. A very high quality backup. But we need to find a starter.

Tony Romo won 2 playoff games here. We aren't winning anything until the coaching staff changes.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Then your next bet would be Tua.

Have to beware of thinking a player on a team loaded with talent and top coaching is himself great. Cooper was the 4th overall pick, but while he did pretty good in his first two years, he was no ODB. Other players have had fabulous college careers and were complete busts in the NFL, especially at quarterback.

But Tua, if he's smart, will stay in college for 4 years and polish his skills...

 

[nate dizzle]

In hindsight I would have taken a 1st for him, still have Romo, draft Mahomes let him sit for a year (or play if Romo got hurt again).

 

[LACowboysFan1]

No one would give up 2 1sts for Dak.

Correct, first of all, 23 touchdowns? 30 is the bare minimum teams would look for. Second, he had a great line and a great running back, most any quarterback would at do okay in that situation, maybe he did better than most would, but 2 firsts? Not nearly enough data for a team to offer that.

Maybe one first, or two seconds, but no way two firsts and a second, especially after Dallas ripped off the Vikings with the Walker trade, teams still ticked at the Cowboys for that...

I wish you were our GM!!
