You guys are protecting a future bench warmer, good luck with that. Our future QB is in the draft next year.
Sorry Clove, but that is just a bunch of BS!!!
Our future QB happens to be our current QB and his name is Tony Romo.
You see, when a franchise makes the kind of commitment that we have made to Romo, you dont go and draft QBs high. You draft QBs late and hope they develope into good backups or into trade bait.
Thus, we will not be using 1st or 2nd round picks on QBs, just not going to happen. We may spend a 4th or a 5th on a developmental guy, but not with the idea that he is going to be a future probowler. Those are similar odds of winning the lottery.
Besides, Jerry is building for NOW. Most of our stars are in their late 20s, so we have a window of about 5 years in which to make our run. We dont have the time to develope a QB for 3-4 seasons and then when he is ready to go, all the surrounding talent is retiring.
So no, our future QB is not in this years draft or next years draft or the draft after that either. The simple reason is because Jerry will not draft a QB high as long as Romo is in his prime. Jerry just said that the whole team needs to be "Romo friendly" and he plans to build the team around Romo who he said "has special abilities other QBs dont have".
So Jerry is going to go from "lets build the team around Romo" to "lets draft his replacement next year"?????
Dont think so.
