Twitter: Cowboys to meet QB Jeff Driskel

[MoistMayonnaise]

He couldn't win the starting job on a team without a QB.

Nuff said.

The only time this team gets serious about roster upgrades is at cornerback. They'll jump at an opportunity like with Lamb or Dalton or Parsons but their plans are always to throw slop at all needs so they can invest their real resources at corner.

Gilbert doesn’t have any mobility but I think he has the best arm on the team. Unfortunately I can’t see he and Driskel both making the team. Nooch will be our PS guy.

I would have preferred someone drafted by the Cowboys in about the 3rd to 5th round in his 3rd or 4th year with the team. Dak goes down, this guy knows the system, knows the players. He is motivated by the fact that he can be showcased to other teams since his rookie contract ends either that year or the next.

If he should succeed then the Cowboys can trade him the following season and reap huge rewards.

I would really like to see the Cowboys make a commitment to draft a Quarterback about every three years in the midrange of the draft. I've always considered 6th and 7th rounders to be an exercise in futility unless they have a really great and exclusive scouting info on him. Perhaps its someone that graded out much much higher on their board. And, yes, I'm including Brady in that group.

Home grown QB backups seem to make a lot more sense in terms of familiarity, salary, and especially potential.

That's what they did when they drafted Dak. That turned out pretty good, don't you agree?

And the disrespect of Gilbert and DiNucci continues

Yeah I want Gilbert as Dak's backup. I don't see a why this coaching staff doesn't like GG. GG and safeties are like phobias for this FO.

Granted this is a highlight but he looks mobile to me
And he ran a 4.5 40 shows great arm strength..

 

[Cowfan75]

Jerry and son just paid Dak like he's the best QB in the NFL. If he goes down, do you really think they want anyone showing up Dak? Maybe before his contract. Now? They'd rather waste two seasons.

I thought Gilbert played well when he got the start against the Steelers.

 

[basel90]

Driskell has a great arm and he is a good scrambler , his arm is stronger than Dak’s .
Gilbert and driskell will be the backups . Overall a good move

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

They released him, we want him!

We must have him!

Blimey! We set our sights so low.

 

[csirl]

I don't get the move, Cowboys are already loaded at QB.

We've the weakest QB room in the league.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I bet he's better than Rogers!

DiNucci doesn’t belong on an NFL roster. I have never seen worse mechanics by an NFL QB than his 1 start against Philly. His awkward sidearm throws were horrendous.

Garrett Gilbert had 1 start in his entire NFL career. Looked good for a half against the Steelers but turned to garbage in the 2nd half when they figured him out.

I am not a big fan of Driskel but I am OK with them turning over every stone to attempt to upgrade a backup QB situation that is probably the worst in the NFL. Besides we need some OTA and camp arms.

What great brains on the Cowboys coaching staff thought it was a good idea to allow the sidearm passes and the goofy, awkward backfield pedaling of DiNucci?
DiNucci was fun to see. Except for Cowboy fans.

I'll be intrigued when TC begins. Finally, we'll see what's what and who's who. Right now, the questions are way more abundant than the answers. Nobody really has a handle on what to expect. Preseason should be invaluable, in terms of learning what we may have in store. The changes to come should prove interesting, to say the least.

 

[Hadenough]

I'd rather Nick Mullens.

Their not going to bring Mullens here! He is too much of a threat to make Dak look avg and Jerry look stupid. The sad part is its always about marketing and never about winning for Jerry.

 

[John813]

Lol I can't believe anyone could be upset over this. A possible 5th qb on the roster to throw balls in Tc. The horror.

 

[Rockport]

Anytime the Cowboys do something it brings out the haters to crap on it. Not even willing to give the move a chance if it does happen.

 

[hendog86]

I hope he can play the single high!

 

[Cowboy4ever]

his arm is stronger than Dak’s .

I'm 51 yrs old and my arm is stronger than Daks..
