Cowboys are QB Hunting

So later rounds generally unless Hooker drops due to i jury to late 2nd?

Love it - keep throwing darts to find the next guy.

DTR has turned into a favorite of mine - if he can continue to develop as a passer he could turn into a dude.

 

[WhizKid]

DTR for me, if we can't land Hooker or Haener.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

All of these guys for the most part can run or are functionally mobile (even Duggan).

DTR is the only one I haven't watched. I like that M&M are looking at mobile.

DTR has the upside. But he seems to be more of a one read, screen/short pass type. It is a perfect fit for McCarthy but less of a fit in a scheme like Moore’s

Almost a requirement for todays NFL at this point…

You don’t have to be Lamar; but you have to be able to buy time and extend plays.

I would at least talk to McKee just in case, and also why not Haener or Bennett?

I don’t think Bennett turns into anything great. Seems like another good college QB from Georgia (not named Stafford). Jacob Eason, Jake Fromm, Aaron Murray etc.

He’s a guy I toss a 6th rounder at and hope he develops. He is a great leader.

I’d much rather have a guy like Bennett than DeNucci.

Call me when they start looking at 1st round QB's. Until then odds are we are just talking about career backups.

100% agreed. My friends are all JMU alum and they couldn’t wait to see him gone

Bennett is a peer of Tom Brady age wise.

 

[reddyuta]

this is not surprising.they have been looking to cut Cooper rush for 2 years straight but nobody steps up.

Pretty narrow way to draft IMO. Outside of Dak / Romo…Hurts, Wilson, Carr etc were all drafted after the 1st.

They can't threaten their starter. He's a made man.

Honestly, after watching I see him doing well in the Eagles (RPO) offense. I definitely like these running QBs if the MM offense is like you described.

This is something they should have been doing on a continuous basis, about once every three seasons. If they had been doing so, then they never would have had to overpay Dak. I'm not talking about a 6th round "developmental player" (no disrespect to Brady), the majority of them should be top 3 rounds. They have wasted less in the 2nd rounds.

I can't understand the concept of a "franchise" quarterback and why the Cowboys don't open the position to more competition. If any starting QB is upset by a challenge to their starting position then they are conceding the possibility that the other QB could be better. Otherwise, I would think they would welcome competition to lift their game and demonstrate their superior skill set.

If you draft a QB every 3rd season then there is always someone waiting in the wings during contract negotiations. It gives the franchise incredible leverage.
