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

[RustyBourneHorse]

I am going to hype up Tommy Mellott from Montana State again, for the 5th time.

Tommy is a raw, 6’0 QB who played at Montana State in a super gimmicky offense that makes him hard to scout.

But he has an elastic arm that can make throws on the run and at weird angles. His pocket presence needs work, but he has it. He’s smart. He threw for 36 TDs and 2 INTs last year. He runs a freaking 4.42 if not faster. He is one of the best running QBs I have ever seen. He has a nose for the end zone and knows when to tuck and run.

2:23. 8:34. 12:00. 14:22. 14:58.



Those are NFL caliber throws. That’s what I’m looking for in a college QB. He can be had in the later rounds of the draft due to his height and the fact he needs refinement.

But I’d love to see what the kid can do in a fast paced, RPO system that features a lot of quick passes over the middle and a strong running game. That is his bread and butter.

Love it!!! He'd be great with us!!!

I watch Big Sky football. (NAU fan) He is really good. Hopefully level of competition isn’t held against him. Skettebo came out of Big Sky and tore up the Big 12. Mellott is worth a draft pick for the team astute enough to do a thorough job of scouting college quarterbacks.

League minimum salary for Rookies in 2025 is $840,000.

They likely want to pay Lance 2M, just like Rush.

Good read. Where do you see him being drafted?

6th if some team really likes him but likely 7th or UDFA

Let Jimmy Johnson run the draft .

Dallas Cowboys will need to explore new options as they identify the next backup quarterback behind Dak Prescott.

Hey Mike is it you?

Yeah? Ok, please stay out there!

If Prescott goes down, sign Aaron Rodgers.

( off to see who said this first)

There were many games of his where he was clearly the best, and most athletic player on the field. Skills are there.
