We've had a thousand discussions on the matter and we're going to have a thousand more before late April rolls around. Are the Cowboys going to take a quarterback at four?
When reading the morning news, it seems clear that the quarterback discussion is roaring back. We have flirted with this dance before and we have all got cold feet as well. Will the Dallas Cowboys take a quarterback in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft?
As the Combine is underway through the weekend (and Monday), we must all prepare for the Cowboys to keep a keen eye on this year's passers. Of course, it's one of those things that is hard to discuss because of all of our affinity for Tony Romo. Does he have good play left in him? I believe he certainly does. Can he lead this team to a championship? Absolutely. Is time on his side? Of course not. It's starting to look as though many inside Valley Ranch may be realizing this truth.
It's not the fan's job to be realistic but it certainly is the job of everyone in the scouting department, and especially the current COO Stephen Jones:
I mean you have to look at it," Jones said. "You're not naive to it but if you have the opportunity in this league, in our situation, to get a potential franchise quarterback, then you have to make the investment. You have to have the patience. You sacrifice maybe that opportunity that maybe is impactful right now."
The chatter of the combine thus far for Dallas is whether the Cowboys are prepared to take Romo's successor in this draft. Honestly, I don't think there would be one person here that would second-guess that decision if the Cowboys were confident that their passer was there. Jason Garrett has also chimed in on the theory:
"Certainly we want to have a young quarterback in our program who we're developing to be a guy who replaces Tony Romo at some point," Garrett told NFL Network. "Does that mean we take him in the first round, the second round or the third round? I don't know that. We've got to evaluate these guys and sort out who we like at all the positions."
