Cowboys to sign Sanchez

[Hoofbite]

Like who?

It's easy to just say that..give us some names.

At this point, there probably isn't much better out there. Then again, I don't remember anyone laying out ground rules that included Dallas having to wait until all the better prospects were off the market.

Broncos sign Mark Sanchez to be their starter: "He can do just fine as long as he's only asked to drive the bus. Solid veteran leader".

Cowboys sign Mark Sanchez to be their backup: "Cowboys are idiots! They signed the Butt Fumbler! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

I think that about covers it.

You sure seem to let this message board get to you.

Seriously, dude needs to get a grip on his life.

Then who were these better prospects before?

Sanchez went 5-4 in 2014 when he took over, nearly beat us a second time too. That's about what you'd expect from a capable backup, not going to win you every game, he'll win you some in hopes of keeping you in contention when your franchise QB returns.

 

[Brooksey]

Best you could do right now.

I would start him.

I start Dak, let Sanchez learn the Playbook. If Dak falls put Sanchez in until Romo gets back. I don't see Dak giving the job to Sanchez but hey u never know, it's only been pre-season

As a back-up, a decent move.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Haha..
I am not even sure what this means but man it is funny....
If I can figure it out I am stealing it.

Window lickers ride the short bus.

Romo is our past/present. He is our best chance at a Super Bowl. Dak is the future.

Sanchez is in case of emergency. Nothing more.

If Mark becomes a Cowboy..l would welcome him as an experienced QB...but GD...The buttfumbler in Dallas...is that really necessary. It kinka hurts.

 

[TheHerd]

2.5M I'm seeing. Seems like a lot for nothing.

Is Mark Sanchez the best possible backup the team could have acquired this offseason?

Thats about it. Its a little disappointing...but what to heck. Mark is not a bum.8

Sanchez is a nice choice as a veteran backup. Dak is the guy until Romo gets back. Sanchez is here on a relatively cheap one year deal and didn't cost a draft pick to acquire. Overall this is a nice move given the situation Dallas is in.

No, he's not, because the Cowboys didn't want to pay $21 million for Chase Daniel; who's still a backup in Philly even after the Sam Bradford trade.

But remember, Sanchez was signed by Denver to start! He's a better option for Dallas than a guy that's never taken a snap, like Aaron Murray.

 

[haleyrules]

Sure. Understood. Mark can play also. He is not the bum he has been made out to be. It still hurts a bit.

 

[rkell87]

He has the skill set, our line might offer him the time he needs to show the first round talent people saw in college. Here's hoping he helps the team and simultaneously isn't needed.

Which is better than Sanchez? Osweiler and RG3 are considered starters. Daniels I don't think even started a game before. Ryan Fitzpatrick was attached to Jets even as a FA, he was always going to return there. Best chance at starting and best chance at winning.

The only one on that list I'd consider a better trade/signing would be Foles.

It's a one year deal..as long as it doesn't put us over the cap you can put any dollar amount in there and it really doesn't matter.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

He's won recently in the NFL. That's more than you can say for Weeden or Cassell.

 

[Risen Star]

I start Dak

Cmon, man. Be serious.
