Our current backup QBs

[CowboysDrew]

Here's the problem.

Backup quarterbacks typically make $1 million a year. Sometimes a lot more than that.

When your starter makes late 4th-round money, that creates an awkward situation to sign somebody.

You can't sign Bridgewater unless you're going to let him compete for the starting job.

A healthy Bridgewater might WIN the starting job in Dallas.

There will be plenty more options just after the 4th preseason game. My bet is Dallas signs somebody else to play backup, Rush goes to #3 and White stays in the P.S. nobody's going to pick him up.

I'd go for that.

Stephen jones says he don't see the team bringing in a veteran back up qb

 

[robertfchew]

Let them try and then take the high draft pick.

 

[kskboys]

The backup QB's suck.

Need an experienced one.

Keep and develop White. Drop Rush. Get a vet.

Seriously, it's this simple.

How in the world can you judge either one of these backups they are playing behind garbage.

Fair point. I'd like to see what they can do behind our competent line.

Doubt you will see that with the injuries. Do you dare put Dak out there for game 3?

Absolutely not! I think we've seen enough for now from our starters until Carolina.

If O-line ain’t healthy only way I put Dak out in there is in a red jersey

Yeah, I wouldn't even bother putting him out there. Our backups need all the reps that they can get.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Eh, I get you, but he might.

Dak's had a good preseason. I'm totally behind the guy. I watch a ton of SEC football and loved the Prescott pick.

But Bridgewater is extremely talented as well. Barring his injury I think the Vikings are solid on him. No reason to dump on him because he got hurt.

If Dallas took him in he could strongly contend. I doubt he'd want to do it. He likely wants a chance to start somewhere else.

Bridgewater's a Jet.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Bridgewater's a Jet.

Agreed. I don't think they're going to deal him off.

Sorry, I'm not slagging on Dak. I'm behind the guy.

 

[buybuydandavis]

So, these would be my choices for who I think would be better than what we've currently got as our backup QBs. Hopefully, we never have anything go wrong with Dak, but we've GOT to have better insurance for him than what we've got.

Two Words: Matt Cassell

Veteran QBs still have a learning curve for *your* offense.

Unless Tony wants to play, I'd go with Cooper. He knows the offense, whatever his limitations as QB.

"Mr. Kitna? Paging Jon Kitna. You have a call at the front desk."

 

[Cowpolk]

Just activate Moore if Dak gets injured he can be a player/coach

 

[Captain-Crash]

I do you one better , why don't we pick up a better starting bus driver who doesn't glitch out with pressure.. Heck did Tebow get scared in the pocket... he drives and throws as bad as Dak.

Agree, but old jerrah is going down with his pet cat that he got in the fourth round. He is saying all the right words for our GM.
