In from the ashes arises additional ashes. Unless we trade down it's got to be QB IMO.

That's what I'm talking about. Let's get our QB. I'm going to think positive until that cornerback is announced with the 4th pick. Then I go full Alexander.

If that top rated CB is Ramsey, I'll be okay with it. Despite being a top CB after one year at the position, he is actually more the next Eric Berry at FS after playing there until needed at CB. I can live with a ball hawk safety who plays center field and can cover the slot, leaving Jones at CB.

Relax, we'll draft the next Aikman. Jerry knows the window has closed on Tony, he'll draft a arm, size, and smart QB, spend 2 years building the team around him, and year 3 we'll be back into the playoffs.

The hell of the last 20 years is nearing an end.

For me, it's Goff or nothing at this point. If he's still there, I happily pull the trigger. If he's not, I want no part of Lynch. Not because I don't feel he has the tools to become a good quarterback, but because it is apparent to me that this coaching staff lacks the ability to teach him how to use them.

Without Romo out there, this staff is a dumpster fire of incompetence and I have no faith than any of them have the needed ability to develop a quarterback.

Goff's 'ceiling' might be a bit lower, but his foundation is much stronger and he's closer to being ready now. The less expected from the staff, the better off everyone will be.

ARLINGTON -- Emmitt Smith ... Bob Lilly ... Troy Aikman.

Good things, sometimes even great things, come after bad. That has been the case nine times out of 10 with the Cowboys when they have lost 10 or more games in a season.

<removal of crap here>

Continue reading...

and since we only have 1 year to show in this analysis, i'm sure any stat person will tell you it's 100% valid to think this will happen again. i mean, we have 1 whole instance to go off of.

another "i got nothing" article it would seem. i guess if i had to come up with an article a week that made sense, it would be work or something.

DeMarcus Ware ... Mel Renfro ... Roy Williams.

The NFL is designed to achieve parity which means it rewards mediocrity at the top of the draft for teams that inhabit the bottom of the standings. In a season that came to a merciful conclusion Sunday, the Cowboys finished last in the NFC East, a full five games behind a barely-above-average Washington team.

Tyron Smith ... Terence Newman ...Greg Ellis.

Only once after losing 10 games have the Cowboys not immediately grabbed a highly productive player in the draft and that came in 2002 when they had already sent their first-round pick to Seattle for Joey Galloway. So with the 53rd selection in the 2002 draft, the Cowboys added:

The one and only Quincy Carter.

I'm not sure Roy Williams should be there with DeMarcus Ware and Mel Renfro.

Gotta take off the rose colored glasses on these top 2 QB's........they are spread offense system QB's that just happen to be the best of a weak 2016 QB class, cannot overrate them into the top 5 of a draft. They are round one pick 17 on down in a normal year.....

We need a QB. Im not a draftnik, but from what I undersatnd it isnt a good year for QB. But , I would be inclined to draft 2. Pick up one with the top pick, and a 4th rounder type..... Skins, got a deal with Cousins....and it paid off big time. I know tha isnt the case most of the time, and finding a QB is a crapshoot......but we have to roll the dice. From this point out, Romo is play to play. If he goes down, his body doesnt heal as fast as it used too........................................... Season over. Its not fair to the other players trying to win, although I didnt see too much of that going on. But not everyone on the team is out for a paycheck , not talented, or just a slacker.Couple play here or there, and we wouldve won 2-3 of those games Romo missed.

As for thre article. This has been the case for two decades.....................

Hope and cheer. We have next year Cowboys fans.,,,

IF Goff's ceiling is lower and the organization wants to get 2 more years out of Romo, why not go with Lynch? Just asking!

In my opinion? It's because this staff can't develop Lynch - or anyone else. It's not so much about the raw ability of the player as it is a complete lack of faith in a staff that has clearly shown that they're incapable of coaching anyone at the position not named Romo.

The closer to a finished product the player is, the better off both they and the Cowboys would be.

What if Goff is Gabbert and Lynch is Locker? Or Ponder? Or Weeden? Or Leinart? Or Quinn? Or any of the 30 other QB busts of the past few years.

I generally agree with that, but college football doesn't develop pro quarterbacks anymore. Just one-read spread guys.

That's a good point too. But I think Goff is closer to being ready than Lynch.
