He might have been. I thought he was inactive most games.

It's a fair point, but I'll say this, Norm Chow coached QBs are playing well. Sometimes pedigree really matters and if Weis is the link to pedigree so be it.
How is his mobility? Is he the leader of ND?
All I've heard about this kid is he has a good arm, is smart and accurate.

Parcells has virtually said he's a bust. Time to quit holding our breath on him.

From what I have read about Colombo in practice.........forget that thought!

This Draft is going to be deep at LB and thank goodness. I think we need an ILB and possibly another OLB. Up to me I'd draft 2 LBs.

We need a Free Safety and there is some good talent in this Draft there as well.

If we get rid of Glover I'm going to say we need NT or DT help as well. I'd rather get rid of Ferguson than Glover, but it isn't my call. I doubt Ellis is going anywhere, but it truthfully wouldn't shock me. I just don't think Pepper Johnson is a replacement for Glover. Losing Glover, if it happens, sets the entire D back.

We have no idea if Nguyen is coming back. I'm guessing he isn't.

Singleton is probably a cap casualty.

That is potentially 4 big time veteran losses on the D and that is without addressing FS.

In my opinion we do not have the QB to build an offense around but we do have the pieces in place to finish a dominating Defense. I feel this is the best way to stay competitive for a longer period of time.

If we had a Carson Palmer at QB I'd say go with the already steady defense and let's give this kid what he needs. Weapons to throw to and OL.

I think the Cowboys will be looking at pass rusher (LB), NT/DT, WR, and OT on the first day of the 2006 draft. Ferguson is not the long-term solution at NT and Glover will probably be gone. Canty, Spears, and Ratliff show promise but they will need quality backups.

I agree that pieces are in place on offense to be competitive. Finish the defense this draft and move on to the O.

Yes, he is a leader. Yes, he is mobile.

You say good arm, smart, and accurate like those are questionable qualities in a QB.

I agree with you and if we are smart here is the guy we should pick and he may just be there:

Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon

He is a complete STUD ........period.....mark it down and don't forget it! I hope Jeff Ireland is reading this board.

I'm still high on Mathias Kiwanuka, DE form Boston College and would take him in a heartbeat if he fell. Bookend him with Canty and move Spears inside.

Wishful thinking I know.

I also like Haloti Ngata, NT from Oregon a lot. If he fell I think I'd start thinking trade up to get him.

Rod Wright & Orien Harris will interest me too.

Accuracy is lacking in many qbs in the NFL. Look at Eli or QC (back in his "heyday"). Their receivers had to adjust to the balls thrown at them with regularity, often stopping any chance at RAC yards. Mcnabb used to be horribly inaccurate.

Q had a heyday?

Okay.

I agree, accuracy is paramount. Thus Quinn on that and smarts alone should be desirable.

True but...

Ellis wasnt bad

Newman isnt bad

Roy Williams

Demarcus Ware

Marcus Spears

Remeber, I said 1998 and onwards, including Parcells' tenure.

We fans must demand we start drafting Offensive Talent with 1st picks...

Also true.

But if you include Parcell's years technically JJ was our 'first' pick. Witten is arguably a late first round or 2nd round talent we happen to steal in the 3rd too.

BUt as I've said other places I think this would be a good year to snag a good WR early in the draft.

All I know is if the Cowboys go heavy on defense again this year, we are going to have one hell of a defense for the next decade if Jerry can lock them all down in long-term contracts. Jason Ferguson is probably the only "old" starter on this team. With guys already in place such as Chris Canty, Marcus Spears, DeMarcus Ware, Roy Williams, Terence Newman, Anthony Henry, Bradie James, we would have one hell of a defense for at least five years if the Cowboys hit big on some starting linebackers and free safety in the early rounds this year.

That would be a reach no matter who we take (if its in the first)

Yeah, not sure this is a great draft for those.

I think we have to go offense with our first pick.

disagree. offense heavy. wr, qb, ol. we need impact players at skill position and tons of OL help. other than the unmentionable there's hardly any impact free agent players.

Time to get some young guys high in the draft....this script was written a long time ago.
