FRISCO -- It's time for the Cowboys to find the next Tony Romo.
No, not the Tony Romo who went to four Pro Bowls and won an NFL passing title in 2014. That was the finished-product Tony Romo. The Cowboys are hoping they've already found that guy in Dak Prescott.
It's time for the Cowboys to find another unfinished Tony Romo -- the undrafted college free agent signed in 2003 who spent three years in a quarterbacking incubator watching and learning how the position should be played.
It's time for the Cowboys to invest in another project worth developing.
Which is why Cooper Rush intrigues me.
During the years I spent researching the draft as the NFL columnist for this newspaper, I learned several position traits that the pros find attractive.
Quarterbacks who started four years in college and threw at least 1,300 career passes are worthy of long looks because they already have been exposed to everything the college game has to offer. It's a much smaller step from NCAA Saturdays to NFL Sundays for them.
Cooper Rush fits that profile. The Cowboys signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan, where he was a four-year starter who threw 1,648 passes. He started 50 games and passed for 12,891 yards and 90 touchdowns. He sits ahead of NFLers Ben Roethlisberger, Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich on the all-time Mid-American Conference passing list.
