We still need a backup qb for 2017

[Irvin88_4life]

So some of you give Wentz a pass but Sanchez doesn't with 2nd and 3rd stringers? I'm not saying Sanchez is very good but with Zeke, Dez, Tyron, Leary and Witten I'm willing to say he does better then he did. Not to add a full defense and I think Sanchez can get us through a couple games. If we can upgrade then you do but I rather keep building this team.

People saying Fitzpatrick is coming themselves, he wants way too much money and I rather pay Romo the same if that's the case.

Draft Seth Russell on day three....done.

 

[SDCowboy]

I still think Sanchez is a more than capable backup. He had a bad game with all the key starters out. I feel some have unrealistic expectations of what a backup QB is supposed to be.

 

[SDCowboy]

Draft a QB in the late 4th round. That has worked out pretty well for us lately.

Cut Sanchez. I'm not opposed to keeping Romo around. We might go 16 and 0 next year.

How are there still people that don't get that Tony wants to start somewhere?

They think that he loves the Cowboys so much he won't want to leave or he won't have a choice.

It's a cute concept, I must admit.

I get that. What about it's not under his control do you not get? That's a two way street. See how that works?

You can't possibly think they're really going to keep him here next season. It makes zero sense. He's worth something to another team (and thus to us in a draft pick), and out of respect for him, there is no way they don't allow him to move on.

I believe that we will trade Romo for significant draft pick compensation. I believe he will get us more than just a 1st in a trade.

I do not think we will just release Romo for the hell of it. If it is a choice of just cutting him or him being on the roster you can look forward to at least one more year of Romo.

Romo might also take a pay cut to stay on the roster but that is a distant 3rd tier possibility.

 

[BrassCowboy]

I'm not sure it's fair to judge Sanchez on this one game where most of the starters were out.

I didn't know this was Sanchez' first game in the NFL

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

A 17 million dollar back up, no thank you.

Tell that to the Raiders right now about the need for a backup.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

There's two teams I can think of that have good QBs on the bench, us and the Patriots. Everyone else is screwed if their QB goes down. Doesn't mean it's not better to have a capable QB than not, but there's not many good QBs that are willing to sit on the bench if they are good enough to start. If Romo doesn't want to be the backup here, it's highly likely we won't have a great backup next year.

 

[BoysWin]

No joke, I can't imagine going into next year with Sanchez as the back up. If Romo leaves. ..then what?

What real options do we have?

FS

DAL must retain both DAK and ROMO. We are the ENVY of the NFL if we have both.

 

[BoysWin]

We save about 5 million by cutting him and then we need to spend about 5 million on a decent backup QB.

Which is stupid. Retain them.both and DAL wins multiple Super Bowls.

1st rounder, they can have him.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

1st rounder, they can have him.

Carr will be back next year so I doubt they'd want him.

 

[Nirvana]

I'd prefer the $5m in cap space and the extra draft picks.

That $5m has to go partly to a back-up QB. It's a few million at best, and for the quality difference, it's worth it. The problem is Romo won't want to do it.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Sanchez was playing with a lot of backups today, but he still made some bad decisions trying to extend plays today.

When John Elway gives up on a QB, teams should take heed.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I would like the Cowboys to draft Tenn Josh Dobbs for the backup position. Hoping they can get him in the 3rd round. Similar to Dak's style. Played in the SEC. Played well in big games. Studying aeronautical engineering.
