The plan for Romos successor

[darthseinfeld]

It may or may not happen this year. I believe a plan is starting to show itself. I have a feeling they are going to look to do draft his successor during Day 2( a day you can still find a good starting QB) of one of the next two draft and have them sit behind Romo before taking the reigns.

I think this is a smart plan because it gives you time to evaluate a player before handing reigns over him. Whereas if you wait until Romo retires and draft one high then, your pretty much forcing a pick. And what happens if this falls in a draft like 2013 where the top 2 QB's were EJ Manuel and Geno Smith.

They like Vaughn. Weeden is the vet. Unless they want Vaughn to be #2, and another rookie behind him.

The only QB in this draft I might take is Garrett Grayson. None of the other QBs in the draft outside of maybe Winston or Mariotta look like realistic starting QBs anytime soon.

They may like Vaughan, but we dont know how much they like Vaughan. If they liked him enough to be confident in grooming him to be Romo's successor, they wouldn't be wasting time with Petty and Grayson

I"ve read on the Boys site they really like him. Garrett has said so. Like I said, they may not want Weeden back, thus the look at the rookie qb's.

I hope if Im right about this, we take one in 2016 and not this year. I like Grayson and Petty as development prospects, but I feel we could find a stronger prospect next year and use this draft to build them a stronger foundation

Garrett likes everyone they ask him about

Except Mo Claiborne

This is a weak QB draft class. There's no way of telling if 2016 will be better but there really isn't a lot of QBs from this class that I would like to get. If Garrett Grayson is around in about the 4th round I would like Dallas to get him. But Dallas needs a RB, WR, and OL help on offense alone before they need a backup QB.

Same can be said about the qb's they like in this draft.

They better. We are due, and have been for a couple seasons in needing a QB with some pedigree out of college sitting and learning from a very good QB in Romo (4th rounder Stephen McGee out of A&M does not count). No more projects out of the 5th round and beyond. Ever since lucking out with an undrafted Romo, we seem to have been arrogant in our line of thinking that we'd just somehow pluck another Tony off the trash heap of QB's. Time to put the time and effort into picking a QB that has some pelts on the wall at a big time school, that played against big time competition.

Well that's the due process. They have to take a look at what may be available when we pick.

Dallas hasnt brought a 2nd day QB prospect in for a visit in a very long time. Let alone multiple ones

I think it's obvious. In my opinion, they are following a formula for continued success.

1) Have an elite QB.
2) Toward the end of his career, build an elite OL.
3) Establish a legitimate rushing attack
4) Build a defense
5) When said elite QB retires, have a promising prospect ready to play in a safe, nurturing environment where his progress will be ensured due to a real team being around him

The new QB isn't relied upon to be amazing. They simply have to get better each year. Allow the elite OL to give him time in the pocket, the running game to take the load off his shoulders, and the defense to keep the game manageable.

Frankly, it's brilliant and I'm surprised we've not seen this exact formula followed as commonplace in the NFL.

Okay. They don't want Vaughn or Weeden back. Because they brought in rookie qb's for a visit multiple times.

Seems outside of GB the formula has either been " run your elite QB into the ground and figure things out from there " or " get lucky and have elite QB get hurt for the year and draft Andrew Luck"

No one said they dont want Vaughan back
