Stephen McGee is the best qb we've drafted in 13 years

[DallasDomination]

Don't worry if Romo gets hurt or retires we'll get the top pick in the following draft.

 

[viman96]

No thanks on drafting a qb in the middle to late rounds. Useless.

Useless? Or unlikely to find a decent QB? Have you reviewed the NFL draft history and the QBs drafted or signed as an UDFA that went on to have good careers?

 

[LandryFan]

Cowboys have drafted a QB in the first round once in team history.

At least he was a good great one!

 

[LandryFan]

Twice...but it is a bit of a tricky thing.
Aikman and someone else in the Supplemental draft after Aikman..Walsh.

Yep, Walsh was a Supplemental pick, but we ended up trading him for a first rounder a year later (New Orleans, I think).

History has shown that very few QBs taken outside of the first round ever become superstars.

Romo as an UFA
Brady as a 6th rounder
Russel Wilson in the 3rd round

That's about it off the top of my head.........................you do like the Colts did, you ride your franchise guy till the end, replace him with a scrub, go 1-15 and get the first pick in the draft the following year, then do lots of praying a stud QB is coming out like Andrew Luck.

Get your general point but don't forget Kurt Warner

 

[Beast_from_East]

Get your general point but don't forget Kurt Warner

Oh yea, I forgot about him...........................he played in the Arena league before the NFL if I remember correctly.

That is an anomaly also, very few Arena league players even make an NFL roster.

 

[viman96]

Joe Montana was drafted in the 3rd round

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I am pretty much certain that tonight will not change that.

Maybe tomorrow or Saturday but tonight there will be no QB drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.

It just depends on who gets to play. Sometimes middle round/undrafted QB's never get a chance due to politics. There will always be someone on the roster who "deserves" it more in the public eye. Wilson was drafted to be a starter but both Brady/Romo may have never got their shot if Bledsoe didn't get hurt or benched.

 

[viman96]

Atlanta drafted Brett Favre in the 2nd round

 

[viman96]

Joe Theismann was a 4th round pick
Bart Starr was a 17th round pick
Roger Staubach was a 10th round pick

There have been many.

Montana, Brees, Farve, Marino, Warner, Fouts, Esiason, Moon, and several quality QBs that weren't stars.

On the other hand, the number of first-round QB busts is endless.

 

[jterrell]

I never thought McGee was a good College QB...I thought Petty was a good college QB.

I think he has much more upside in the NFL.

McGee was in a terrible collegiate System while Petty was in one of the most prolific college systems of all time.

It is all relative.

McGee was faster 4.66, with a stronger arm. 6'3" 225 with insane HS stats. He simply played read-option football at TAMU.

Petty 6'3" 230 4.87, was a spread system QB who relied on his first read to roll up insane stats.

I grew up in this system basically under Leach so can promise you no collegiate guy from this system has had real NFL success.

If an NFL team wants to come up to 27 for Petty it is like God really does love the Cowboys!!!!

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

This is why you'll here Goodell say.... "The Tennessee Titans have traded the #2 pick. The Dallas Cowboys are now on the clock."

Now take a wild guess where we're going with that pick. That's right, screw you Browns; screw you Eagles!

Mariotta. History will prove me correct: Take a look at Jameis's fat face. Now, envision him in 2 years when he is 340 pounds a la JaMarcus Russell, with maybe a felony and a couple of misdemeanors, and Mariotta doing a good, efficient, consistent job of QBing.

If the Bucs take Winston they will regret it. Any body who take Winston will regret it.
Mariotta on the other hand won't take the NFL by storm but will last a lot longer in it than Jameis "Crab legs" Winston.
take it to the bank.

 

[Jack Burton]

Joe Theismann was a 4th round pick
Bart Starr was a 17th round pick
Roger Staubach was a 10th round pick

Roger would have went a lot higher if he didn't have to do his time in the Navy.

 

[coogrfan]

He's the only one

sorry but that is completely untrue.

Brady, Montana, Favre, Romo lead list.

Of current(2014) starting QBS:
Wilson, Kaep, Romo, Brees, Fitzpatrick, Kyle Orton, Austin Davis, Andy Dalton, Nick Foles, Drew Stanton, Geno Smith, Brian Hoyer plus of course Brady.

And almost to a man they won the job from (or later beat out) an R1 QB.

The SB had R3 versus R5 QBs.

 

[jterrell]

yes, 1st overall, easily.
he is literally Captain America.

 

[DanTanna]

I would take a shot with Petty in the 4th.
