No one should have any confidence if Romo goes down, but they also shouldn't expect the team to put a young, proven starter behind him just in case. That doesn't happen because usually teams can't afford it and because the young, proven starter doesn't want to ride the bench for a year.

I don't expect Dallas to go whole hog after Romo's replacement until he's gone. And to be fair, it's rare that teams spend a high pick on a QB while they still have a Pro Bowl QB playing.

I do expect the team to take advantage if a first-round-worthy QB is available where we draft next year, or to take one at some point.

the fact they wanted lynch indicates that this is very well on their mind.

so basically you are betting romo will survive next 2 years or more.
if you win, then we can improve the rest of the team with additional resources - improving our chances while romo is there.
if you lose, then we waste at least 1-2 years of everyone's prime trying to nail down a new QB.
you choose the 2nd alternative.
i prefer the 1st alternative if taylor repeats his 2015 performance and is actually available...

Tyrod Taylor is not in any way, shape or form, worth giving up 2 1st round picks for.

taylor stats are pretty good.
am i missing something?

which qb would you choose:
qb A - 60% comp %, 3837 yards, 7.75 ypa, 35 td, 10 int, 99.4 pass rating, 640 yards rushing
qb B - 64% comp %, 3035 yards, 8.0 ypa, 20 td, 6 int, 99.4 pass rating, 570 yards rushing

qb A has much more tds and 25% more yards, but qb B is 4% more accurate and slightly better ypa.
the 2 have almost identical td/int ratio, identical pass rating and yards rushing are within 12% of each other.

you can probably guess who the 2 qbs are.
you will probably pick qb 1 but i think they are pretty close?

He has 14 career starts. I need to see a LOT more from him before I give up 2 first round picks

what happens if Romo goes down badly in 2017, you would just let 2017, 2018 and perhaps 2019 waste away?
you draft a 1st round qb - how many years does he need? are you sure he will be any good
50% chance even with a high 1st round pick?

by the end of 2019, dez is almost definitely done and we would have lost 2-3 good years of zeke and the OL.
you may only have 3 years of zeke's prime left as well as about 4-5 years of the OL's prime?

i know my price is high but it offers a smooth transition for the offense to keep moving forward without disruption.
no one wants to give up 2 1st, but i see it as the least of the evils.

No, I'm betting that Dallas doesn't go after a current starting QB while Romo is on the team. if Romo were to retire after this season and Taylor was available, Dallas might chase him as a replacement.

The Cowboys are betting on Romo surviving. They tried to hedge their bet by drafting Lynch, but weren't willing to pay the price with Romo still on board.

If Romo is still on board next year, they'll likely bet on him surviving again. However, they have shown that they are willing to draft a QB of the future. Hopefully, whatever Dak shows will not prevent them from thinking that way again.

Everyone hopes Romo makes it through at least next 2 years.
Problem is that he is looking more fragile - like Aikman when he was going downhill.

They were unwilling to pay the price for Lynch but Jerry is already regretting it.
That decision looks correct because we were able to draft 2 D players in 3rd and 4th along with Jaylon, who may be a gamechanger.

Come next year, priorities would be QB and DE, assuming no breakouts in DE and Dak does not magically become the next guy.
We could spend a 1st next year, but the chances of the QB becoming a franchise QB is probably less than 50-50.

That is why i rather pay the 2 1st price and get the sure thing.
Now if you think Taylor is not the sure thing, then that is a problem.
Though take a look at this comparison between qb A and qb B:
qb A - 60% comp %, 3837 yards, 7.75 ypa, 35 td, 10 int, 99.4 pass rating, 640 yards rushing
qb B - 64% comp %, 3035 yards, 8.0 ypa, 20 td, 6 int, 99.4 pass rating, 570 yards rushing

as you probably know, qb A is Cam Newton and qb B is taylor.
i can see something preferring A, but B is not that far behind.
