True, and everyone seems to forget that if you wait until you must draft a QB (read: Romo retirement or career-ending injury), not only do you set the whole club back a few years while looking and developing, you WASTE the premium years of the team's current young talent's careers as well.
Say you wait 2-3 years for Romo, then take two years to draft a decent guy, then another year or two for him to get up to speed, then, you've burned through possibly 3-7 years (at best) of Dez, Tyron, Fred, Tank, Martin, La'el, Jones, Crawford, Scandrick, Gregory, Irving, Hitchens, Beas, etc.
At worst, you take a decade or more to find a QB and completely burn through all of them, with no return or benefit on their careers.
And, the fans who so adamantly state, "Romo's got four more years, no doubt" are foolish or in denial, IMO, because bones don't get stronger as you age, athletes don't typically get better into their late 30s (very few exceptions) and Romo has not been the picture of perfect health.
Doesn't it make sense to start looking NOW, develop him (without the immediate pressure), and when Romo is done, step right in with only a few games of a learning curve?
u're right ab
