Cowboys need a QB that fits Garrett's offense

[CyberB0b]

RGIII can be a fine pocket passer. He need a legitimate running game and a deep threat to be effective, like most QBs in the league.



Most of throws are from the pocket, on play action. There's a reason why there are a lot of guys running free in this highlight video, versus a 2015 Dallas Cowboys highlight video. The problem is that I don't know if he is right between the ears.

I would much rather take a chance on a guy who I have seen have success on the field, rather than a scrub like JFF.

Or, we could try just getting a backup QB who doesn't suck, like we had for a few years with Kyle Orton, and then hope we don't lose our best WR and two of our three RBs and see how that goes.

So the best thing for Cowboys , is to Draft a QB who fits what JG likes to do on offense.

That is basically a pocket passer, someone with size, and who could take off and run

at times, but not on designed runs.



He could bkup tony, and even rest tony in 2nd half of season, so Tony is fit for the playoffs.

Play the bkup, against the weaker opponents.

Manziel and RG3 will not fit in JG's offense, neither one is a good pocket passer, and that is
what JG needs for the offense he likes to run.

To get good results with either of these 2 would require a whole new offense designed
for JF or RG, and that isnt going to happen here, and even if they tried, it would
not work out too good, probably about like when we try to run pick plays.

Why pick a QB to fit the offense of a HC who won't be here for 2017?
After the coming 7-9 season, JG is history. Even Sir Jerry won't stand for it. Even he will say "Enough is enough!"

righting this ship will take more than a good draft and good FA. It will take backbone to "go in another direction" (without JG) as the cliche goes, blokes.

Wrong.Cowboys need a QB who can overcome Garretts offense which does the Qb no favors in terms of scheme and simply relies on 1 on 1 match ups.We either need to draft the top Qb with most talent or ride one more year with Robo Romo .

Who would you suggest? Most backup quarterbacks do indeed suck.

Those darn backups. They all suck!

I can't understand why they suck!

Exactly.

They are subpar. But there has got to be some backup that doesn't suck because we went through three in one season and they all sucked!

Garrett's system seems to be: get to line, wait for a long time, try to read the D, run a lot sideline to sideline patterns, try to throw short of the chains and break some tackles.....also: run on 1st down

I'm just so done with it. And most importantly, it only really moves within both 2 minute warnings when the QBs ditch the scheme.

 

[jobberone]

Good Grief!

Everyone wants a QB who is a primary pocket passer but who can generate plays downfield when the play breaks down. And they want a QB who is fast and/or big enough to run the ball when necessary. Call 1-800-WantaQB and just get one.

Garrett's offense is much like most other offenses in the league. He needs to add a few plays and tweek some and bury a few as well. Execution, matchups, and the right plays at the right time wins each snap.

Backups like Kitna and Orton don't become available very often and Orton lost his only start with the Cowboys. All backup QBs are flawed which is why they're carrying clipboards and they're some starting QBs in the league that suck and you don't have to look any further than with the Texans. If the Cowboys want to have success with other QBs they need a consistent running game that can move the chains on 3rd and one. Being the worst offense in the league on 3rd and one put more pressure on our QBs. We struggled to run the ball in the redzone McFadden only had 3 rushing TD's which put a lot of pressure on our QBs.

And go 12-4.

And go 12-4.

That 12-4 record has got so much mileage but in the meantime everything that got that record is dismissed.

Murray? Ah, he's terrible. Look at what he did for Philadelphia.

Turnovers? Well, dadgum our luck his year.

TOP? Not relevant.

We are back to the idea that Romo can just flip the team on his back and if he just stays healthy, we will make a Super Bowl.

 

[jchap]

A QB for this system is one that can change out of whatever stupid play that was called and pick a good one. Thats a tough skill to find.

 

[KJJ]

And go 12-4.

Still living in 2014? That season is what's known as a fluke!

 

[big dog cowboy]

RGIII can be a fine pocket passer.

Not sure how much I buy that.

 

[Vinnie2u]

That's hilarious.

This. When Carolina drafted Cam Newton their coaches went to Auburn and adapted their offense to Fit Newton. You can't fit a square peg in a Round hole.

Who is saying that? You guys make up a generic homogenized forum member to espouse your complaints when few if any such members exist.

So what's your answer to virtually the same players generating TOs one year and not the next?

TOP is NOT relevant if you can't score in the RZ, can't score TDs at a prime rate when you do score, and generate points off of drives or Sc% of 40+%. What's the answer to that? I'll give you a hint. Most of it is a one word answer.

The run game this year was just as effective as last year. Several posters have put those facts up but damn the facts, huh?

Romo is most of the answer. Get the offense to 30+PPG which shouldn't be very hard. We scored 29.2PPG with an intact offense in 2014. The defense needs more pressure, more TOs, and better pass defense. Those are harder solutions but not out of the question to fix one or all of them.

12-4 seasons are not flukes. Now if you said we might not be on that level yet esp after this year that is reasonable. This is certainly a show me year.

That's a legit question. Most of them do suck. I don't love the backup veterans out there. If Fitzpatrick were available, he's the kind of guy you'd look to bring in.

I'd bring in a vet and draft one at 4, either way.

 

[Idgit]

They don't all suck. Many of them do. And I don't believe you don't actually know that already.
