Romo's Successor

[robjay04]

A high draft pick also can be a 2nd round pick. I prefer...that is my preference a 1st or 2nd round pick.....however, in other posts I made, in other threads. If a Joey Bosa type is there, you take him.
But if a QB is there, how can you not pass up on a decent QB prospect. Given what has been trotted out of the field as backups recently, like the past 10 years, other than Kitna.

I am aware what those teams have done, as I said many times, either 1st or 2nd round. He can be a decent backup getting experience, and learn behind one of the best in Romo.

The draft hindsight card is always 20-20, and people use it too much for the what if scenarios.....if I would had bought Microsoft stock back when it started....yada, yada, yada.....

Oh I agree with pretty much everything you said.

I don't know if you use a high first on a player though to sit behind Romo. I can't think of any time in recent NFL history where a top 10 pick sat on the bench for a couple years. I can remember when Luck was drafted by Colts, they basically showed Peyton the door.

QB is such a gamble, moreso than other positions, that is why I only want a QB in the first if he is a "can't miss" prospect. If there isn't a prospect available worth a first...take one in the second with high upside and let him learn.

Packers traded with Falcons to get Favre, when they had Majkowski. Need to see how long he sat before taking over.
Then Packers drafted Rodgers in round 1, sat for what 3 or 4 years behind Favre before taking over?
Manning had his neck injury and was on IR for that year. He was due a huge contract bonus. The colts sucked that year, 1-15, drafted Luck, and released Manning. Actually, Manning was shown the door before Luck was drafted IIRC.

I would be fine with a QB in the 2nd round. After that, there is not a QB in the draft I would consider. Though I am not a draft / college player expert. This is just my opinion as of now for what little I do think I know....lol..

Mike Glennon of the Bucs. He's stuck behind Jamies. 2016 is the last year of his rookie contract. Trade a 3rd or a 4th for him give him a decent extension. This guy could be really good. He had 19 tds and 9 ints as a rookie on a garbage Bucs team. This guy is better than anyone we could draft this year. I have no doubt that this guy with our oline makes us a playoff team. I truly hope our front office tries to make a run at this guy.

Succesor? I dont like that. Veteran backup? That certainly sounds better than the two clowns that played here this year.

 

[CowboyRoy]

you know what, you're right..

he looks like he would fit right in with what Garrett is trying to do

OMG..........Howdy Doody one and two!!! LOL

It's a little easier to sit a player if they are picked in the 20s versus a top 5 pick. Top 5 picks need to be on the field ASAP. That's just my opinion though.

Everytime I see this logic, it drives me nuts. The team doesn't have to spend a high draft pick on a QB just for the sake of doing it. The Titans (Locker), Jags(Gabbert) and Vikings (Ponder) did this 5 years ago only to turn around and spend another first round pick on a QB a few years later.

If we choose a Jake Locker over a JJ Watt or a Julio Jones just for the sake of drafting a QB early, this team will be doomed.

Actually besides Cam Newton, out of the top teams in the league right now...which one of them has a high draft pick QB that they drafted? Cards? No. Bengals? Patriots? Packers? Vikings? Seahawks? Broncos? Bengals? Jets? Chiefs? Commanders? None of these teams spent a top 10 pick on their QB . Only the Colts and that QB isn't even playing and when he has been playing, he has been awful this season.

I am all for a QB if the player fits the draft slot but I hope this team is smart enough to do what the Raiders did a year ago. Take a player such as Khalil Mack in the first and then turn around and get Carr in the second...or what the Bengals did a few years back when they took AJ Green in the first and Dalton in the second.

Yeah. I agree. Unless there is a QB you are "sold" on, and dont think he makes it to the second. But we could end up with Mo Caliborne again too, with that top 10 pick........Im glad I dont have to make these calls......I imagine its a diffiuclt job.

Not to worry, there are many on here that would make those calls.....

 

[Hardline]

I want to get Romo's successor to be drafted the year after Romo announces his retirement and thrown into the starting lineup. Right now I want a competent QB to back him up.

 

[RS12]

They'll dumpster dive again, either Kaep, JFB, or RG3. They will also draft a QB.

 

[cowboys1981]

All I want from Romo's heir is someone who wins us some games and gets us to the playoffs.

I don't care if we go the Carson Palmer route, the Tom Brady route, the Russell Wilson route, the Tony Romo route or the Cam Newton route as far as the acquisition goes...just win us some games so our team can return to the glory we deserve.

The Cardinals drafted QB's for years...the most success they ever had was from free agents (Kurt Warner, Carson Palmer)...I would prefer to have a young guy ready to be a premier QB but if we have to go that route, so be it.

I'm with ya. As long as they come in and win I don't care how they got here. I would hate to see a QB drafted top 5 when you have players with more value outside the QB spot.

If we're going to draft any qb this year it has to be Paxton Lynch. This guy reminds me of a Taller Cam Newton with better touch in the pocket. Let him sit behind Romo for a few years and be the backup and we'll be ready to move on when Romo retires.

The guy is 6-7" 245 pounds and he can run like Cam and he has a canon for a arm. Lynch or Treadwell would be my top two choices if we're picking in the top 10.

Most excellent observation. I can definitely dig it. We still need to bring in another equitable option though. My preference is the draft but I can settle for the result of Jerry's offseason slobbering all over a JFB trade.

 

[plasticman]

QB's are hit and miss, a team is extremely fortunate to get a playoff caliber QB that wasn't A high 1st rounder.

Look at the Super Bowl QB's over the past 10 years. How many were not high 1st rounders.

The Cowboys sat Romo for 3 full years before he ever started a game, only the 2nd time in 40 years that his been done.

I hear you on that but as we all know here is that QBs are hard to get right in the draft always have been once Romo, retires like you hopes the team have someone already groomed to take his place because I would dread going through another post Aikman era with a QB lottery with likes of what we witnessed in the early millennium there is talent on this team particularly on the OL that whoever the successor is in the not so distant future will flourish here's hoping they get to work looking for that QB now.

I agree about Glennon. Think he's one of the better options this year...and have said it before.

Greg Cosell on Glennon: 'I was surprised nobody swung a trade for Glennon this offseason. NFL Films senior producer Greg Cosell called him "far more advanced" than Robert Griffin III, saying "they shouldn't even be in the same discussion." Glennon played behind one of the NFL's worst lines last year and it showed, but his 18 career starts include moments of genuine promise.'

If able to swing a trade, ink Glennon to a reasonably decent deal despite 1-year remaining on his rookie contact. He could essentially kill the proverbial two birds with one stone. At 25 y/o, he's still developing...but also already has starting experience to function as a solid backup while continuing to learn/mature behind Romo. Then keep Moore in the fold, or possibly draft a guy later. One guy I like that could potentially go a bit later in the draft, is Kevin Hogan. Of course, he could also rise with good showings in workouts, at the Senior Bowl, etc.

I will make this quick...Glennon sucks!!!

I think Hogan is the most ready to play of any of the QB's including Goff and Lynch. I would have absolutely no problem in the team going after Glennon and then drafting Hogan in the middle rounds. That enables us to still add two difference makers in the first few rounds including a day one starter on defense in the first round.

Nah.

 

[plasticman]

Since 1970, only nine quarterbacks have won 10 or more playoff games. Five of them were 1st round picks.

Four of them were drafted #1 overall, the other was #11 overall.

Of the 4 not drafted in the 1st round, 1 was drafted #33 overall. Another, a former Heisman winner would have been a top 5 pick but has to fulfill a 5 year military obligation.

Only two were distanced from the 1st round, Joe Montana and Tom Brady.Their Head Coaches are considered two of the best in the history of the game.

What are the chances that the Cowboys, under their present management can find the next Tom Brady or Joe Montana?

This isn't the time to screw around with ex-baseball players.
