Cowboys interview Dak Prescott

[Nightman]

Couple of questions, how much of your opinion was from his undergrad seasons? Also did he get reasonably good coaching? I've only seen him in the Senior Bowl but from the short eyeball test he looked like a guy that would improve a ton with NFL quality coaching.

I was hoping we could get him with one of our 6ths and stash him on the PS. But his throwing improved and he had a good Senior Week. I think he goes 4th or earlier.

 

[Rogerthat12]

How big are his hands? If they are bigger than 9 inches they should take him at #4.

 

[reddyuta]

I read people say he has a big arm but on many of his throws he looks like he doesmt,not sure if its foot work related but but i dont see it.

 

[StarBoyz83]

That'd be tight if they take hI'm @ 4 lol

They could still view Goff, Wentz or Lynch as "franchise" and pass if the dominating thought is "win now", then it makes zero sense to waste a 3rd on a QB that is less talented.

I do not trust this franchise to break out of the thought processes they have shown for years, that they are still a player away.

I do see them feeling compelled to draft a QB "for the future", but failing to recognize that the deeper you do that, the less chance they have to make it. And that it might impact their willingness to pull the trigger in future years.

I think I halfway agree with this, but I totally understand where you're coming from.

I really don't trust this franchise to do much, considering there was no accountability after the 4-12 season, but that lack of trust has been beat to death and isn't worth my time any more.

I think they acknowledge the need to groom a QB behind Romo, but I think they're going to essentially act like 2015 didn't happen, and if you do that, it's easy to say a couple difference makers on defense and a good free agency, really could put us over the hump. I really don't think they're that far off either. If that's the case, it comes down to value and projection.

The front office and scouts really might not think there is a very big gap between the first and second tier of QBs. If that's the case, they may decide to go impact player the first two rounds and it has nothing to do with "win now" versus building for the future--it's simply about value. If Goff and Wentz grade as 85-90, and Dak, Hogan grade at 75-80, that difference may be negligible to them in the long run, but adding a two dynamic play makers on defense is significantly more valuable than that 10 point spread.

That was a little convoluted, I hope it at least made sense, even if you don't agree with it. I just don't think it's as simple as being in "win now" mode or not.

They already act like 2015 didn't happen.

If the idea is "win now", then why bother with the QB? Romo has three-four years, it is not a damn debate.

Sorry, I keep trying to apply logic to how we do things and I am coming up empty.

So what do you guys think of Dak?

 

[Risen Star]

They already act like 2015 didn't happen.

They act like the last 20 years didn't happen.

The idea is to win now because the window is closing. I had a genius tell me that the other day. Time is short with Romo. Better go all in now because rough days are ahead.

Basically the thought process is don't prepare for the future by drafting a QB that can keep that window open as a bridge from Romo. No. Don't prepare for the future because we're going to be going through some lean years soon because we didn't prepare for the future.

It's a special brand of sheer idiocy and we share a team with these people.

If the window is closing and all that needs to happen is a full scale assault on the beach at Normandy to justify Romo, then I have a hard time understanding the concept

Okay. You want to win one for Romo.

So, how is a rookie going to do that?

Everyone keeps saying need to be prudent in free agency at the same time.

So where is this talent influx coming from?

Unless there is a Hall of Fame player just waiting for us at 4 (and oh no, can't be a QB), how is this incredible miracle supposed to happen.

This is not rebuilding. This is hanging to a life preserver named Romo.

To me, you can do that while preparing for him being gone. All that requires is being intelligent.

There is no player, none, zero, zilch, in the draft or free agency that is going to put this team over the hump.

But I guess it is fun to pretend.

But since we are just a few players away, as usual, you see the same mentality.

A rookie doesn't have to do it. Romo's going to be around another 4 or 5 years and we're not damn debating about it. That rookie this year will be a 3 year vet one day playing with one of the best QBs in the league. What could possibly go wrong?

I've shared a board with you for too long. You've had a lot of just God awful thoughts during that time but one thing you've said has been more right than anything that's ever been said on a Cowboys fan forum. Jerry has a plug the dam mentality.A finger in the dike. If he is consistent with anything it is this. Our offseasons are spent reacting to the current crisis. The quick fix. No vision whatsoever for the future and when you have that mindset you never change the state of your team. You're always poorly built, there are always leaks, you're always plugging that dam.

 

[CF74]

He flashed in the senior bowl, might be a good prospect to groom...

 

[MrPhil]

Don't prepare for the future because we're going to be going through some lean years soon because we didn't prepare for the future.

The thought of wasting the prime years of arguably the best OL in Cowboys history trying to find a replacement for Romo AFTER he is gone makes me physically ill. It makes so much more sense to me to make every attempt to have the next franchise QB ready to enjoy that OL.

 

[Rogerthat12]

They act like the last 20 years didn't happen.

This is the entire problem with the Jones ownership and lack of vision thus far after the ********** days (to coin Jerry language), find a QB on the cheap like Romo and keep banging until he must retire.

Then look for another QB on the cheap and stupid, only to fail for another 20 years, these guys have not and do not learn from their mistakes!

We can only hope Garrett or someone can convince the Jones clan to think of the future carefully at pick #4.

i'd rather have Jeff Driskel later on

“It’s kind of funny, but I almost feel like a big-time quarterback when I’m under center,” Prescott said. “It’s something I have embraced and I’m having fun getting comfortable at.”

We’ll see how well Prescott has adjusted to being under center when on-field drills get underway this Saturday.

I know right!!!

The Kansas City Draft a Quarterback of the Future in the Third or Fourth Round strategy. It's worked so well for them.

 

[CATCH17]

Very well spoken. Handles the media well.

He seems like a good project at QB that could pan out.

I don't get the impression that he has a huge ego or anything and he seems coachable.

 

[KB1122]

How long has it been since the Cowboys spent a first-round pick on a quarterback? 1989. Only Kansas City and New Orleans have gone longer.
