Fish: Cowboys QB Change Behind Dak Prescott Means Exploring Top 7 Options

[Chasing6]

Will Howard is terrible

Phenom Trance was terrible.

Why waste a draft pick when someone like Wentz is available?

 

[LysleE]

Counting on the FO to get this right is a big stretch. They need to pick a QB that can read defenses and process information quickly then pull the trigger and deliver an accurate pass. A more athletic and accurate Cooper Rush if you will. I know mobile QBs are the rage, right now, but how many Allen’s, Daniels and Jacksons are there?
Pick a talented QB to groom and bring him along slowly; we all know Jerry is going to play Dak until his legs fall off so there will be no rush to start any new QB…unless Dak gets hurt.

I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself.

Drafting another dude in day 3 of the round... That's a 4th/5th round talent.

 

[dragon_mikal]

Not a mistake as Fisher says. This is a great opportunity of the FO does this right.

It may force them to address the QB of the future. They will need to remove their heads form a deep place though.

Draft a QB within the 1st 3 rounds. Do not rely upon Grier.
The other option is to bring Lance back. Give him a real opportunity to win the back up pos.

However we know how this team operates.

Ok Lance is absolute trash and why he keeps getting mentioned I’ll never understand. He has no future in the NFL. None.

They need to either draft a replacement or bring in another capable vet. I’d prefer the latter because Dak will probably miss a game or two with his age and injury history.

Here is the dilemma.

Good athletic QB's tend to rely on their athletic ability too much. QB's that are not athletic, have to rely on their brain to be successful.

GM's see athletic QB's with the potential to develop their brain and get extremely excited - see Trance.

The problem/reality is that players rarely develop both. If and when they do 5 years later, their athletic ability has significantly diminished.

The sole reason QB's can play into their 40's has zero to do with their athletic ability. Athletic QB's is significantly overrated.

This is why Shanahan wanted to stay put and draft Mac Jones over Trance that Lynch so desperately wanted. Guess who just signed Mac Jones???

They have a system that requires a QB to release the ball quickly and accurately. Dallas has no identity...

Keep Lance and bring in a rookie that is raw but has the arm and leg talent.

Trance is raw and basically still a rookie.

Kurt Warner thinks Will Howard had the best stretch any QB had this past season during the playoffs

 

[erod]

Cooper Rush has a better arm than Quin Ewers. Better not be him.

 

[Coogiguy03]

If he is there in the 3rd, I would take him. But trade up into the 4th for sure, but to the top of the 4th round.

Take BPA in the 1st round. A RB in the 2nd, if not a RB in then1st.

Or better, trade down in the 1st and pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd. Take Howard in the 3rd.

use those 5th round picks for some good

Are you saying Mac Jones is/should be an NFL starter or better than Trance? (lol)

I am saying Mac Jones signed a 2 year deal with the Niners and Trance is unemployed.

I am also saying, Mac Jones is who Shanahan originally wanted and did not want Trance.

I am also saying, signing Mac Jones, gives Shanahan some leverage with the Purdy negotiations. How did the Trance leverage workout with Dak's correct???

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I just posted in another thread to keep an eye on drafting a day-2 QB. I think they are ready to start preparing for life after Dak.......similar to Romo.

 

[JoeKing]

Fish's attempt to stir up QB2 drama where there is none. Grier gets the QB2, case closed.

 

[RonWashington]

Either draft Kyle McCord out of Syracuse or sign Colt FA Sam Ehlinger . Either one is is younger then Rush and have some upside

LOL
Chase....you are comparing two high-drafted QBs with B attached to their careers. What's the point, they BOTH are major disappointments struggling even in backup roles.

*Mac Jones is a head case with physical limitations
* Trance is a head case with some physical ability

Did Peyton, Eli, or Brady???

I think Tua had mobility. How is he doing?
