SI: Dallas Cowboys will ‘figure out a way’ to get Johnny Manziel, per report

[tideh20heel]

I strognly believe we should draft johnny Manziel, if he's there. I rememeber when the 49ners traded for steve young and joe Montana went on to have the greatest season of his illustrious career. I also believe Tony Romo is too comfortable in the postion that he is in and he needs that extra push to light a fire under him. He also just turned 34 coming off a secound back procedure. Troy "the great" Aikman retired at 35, we're one vicious hit away to being back to searching for that franchise QB, that took us a decade to find. Why not take a gamble on Johnny Football to prevent us from being in that predicament again.

Way too comfortable!!

I can't wait to see the posts when Johnny Football is a Cowboy. It would be a great pick that would prevent a search for Romo's replacement. I will forgive Jerry for turning this team into a circus if he will make this happen.

Sounds more like somebody is getting played. If the Cowboys wanted him that bad they wouldn't be telling everone about it. Surest way for someone else to go after him first.

I don't think it matters either way.

Dallas supposedly uses misdirection every year (or at least that's a common thought) so it's doubtful other teams even pay attention at all to any rumor regarding Dallas (or any other team for that matter).

Teams shouldn't care. Draft to better your team, not to prevent someone else from bettering theirs.

There are players rated at the top of boards across the league and only 1 team is going take him. Have a plan and stick to working your draft. You won't get all the players you wish you could so deal with it.

No team should jump at a player because someone else might. He's either worth it or he isn't. Any team that would jump up for him because someone floated Dallas' name is stupid.

A high-round quarterback selection will not be coming in under the expectation of competing with Romo. The expection will be that a high draft pick will come in and supplant Romo.

Romo is a franchise quarterback. First-round quarterback selections are projected as practically immediate starting, franchise quarterbacks. Current teams (including those headed by guys named Jerry) do not bring in a projected franchise quarterback to replace a entrenched franchise quarterback unless the elder quarterback is about to receive the proverbial boot. Romo's not about to get thrown to the curb unless there is an issue which threatens his ability to play NFL level football in the here and now. The only threat preceived pertains to Romo's back.

Now, before the "Hey! What about Aaron "Discount Double-Check" Rodgers?" gets tossed in, it should be noted that Green Bay was deceived by Brett Favre into believing he was going to retire sooner rather than later. Favre waffling caused Rodgers to remain on the sidelines for as long as he did. Tony Romo does not carry the clout that Favre had in Green Bay. His understandable $100 million supply versus demand contract will not insulate him from being the victim of an invested upgrade at the position. If, for example, Johnny Manziel gets tabbed, Romo's looking at a much shorter season in 2014 than he expects... and not because of an unfortunate injury. Jones will expect him to start in the short-term and he would deal with the ramifications of Romo's humongous contract afterwards. JMO.

but did the ROGERS /Favre issue work our for Green Bay.I think so

Exactly. Cowboys aren't going after Manziel. If they were they wouldn't be so blatant about it. This is nothing more than a classic JJ smokescreen leading up to the draft in hopes of forcing a team before us to snatch him up. Nothing to see here.
