What all our QBs have in common

[NorthwestDallas40]

They were 4 year college starters, winners, and were hand-picked/coached up by Linehan. Jerry has dont alot wrong over the years, but bringing in Linehan might have been his best move since hiring Jimmy. Linehan knows how to evaluate and coach QBs. And getting 3 NFL QBs for the cost of a single 4th round pick has set this franchise up for a great future.

Taking Jason Garrett's playcalling duties away was the best thing he did.

Dak wasn't a 4-year starter. He played in 12 games as a RS freshman, but he was a backup to Tyler Russell. He only threw 29 passes the entire season, even though he played in 12 games. He didn't become a starter until his sophomore season.

Aside from that, everything else you stated is accurate.

Linehan is an outstanding coach and always has been. Jimmy himself said a few years ago if he was coaching today he would hire linehan to run his offense.

I wish mike pope was still here.

Now if he'd stop getting cute sometimes and take over game management duties....
Garrett can keep his figurehead cheerleader clap job

While Linehan has been a solid offensive coordinator, let's not forget that prior to Dallas and even when he got here, Linehan was a pass-happy OC. Linehan's offenses were good, but he got even better when he joined the head coach and front office focused on rebuilding the offensive line and running game like they had in the 90s.

If I'm not mistaken, Linehan was Garrett's choice..not Jerry's

 

[WillieBeamen]

I agree, but If he knows how to evaluate QBs, why is Moore still on this team?

He was. And I was afraid because of Linehan's pass happy past.

 

[sbark]

They get close to the items of Parcells list of a NFL QB draftee

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

I felt like We didn't turn it around until Callahan arrived and got his hands on the offensive line. It's been uphill since.

Exactly-I don't love JG myself (as a coach, because as a GM he would be terrific), but he gets very little credit for anything it seems.

 

[ShiningStar]

dang, i thought they didnt want to see Moore on the team.

When you have a QB like Stafford and Megatron it would be hard not to be. Can you ever remember the last time they had a good RB as well?? Barry probably.

Other than his inexplicable man crush on Moore, I agree

I was reading the draft profile of Cooper Rush. Did anyone notice his NFL comparison in it?! Check it out: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/cooper-rush?id=2557933

[Cowboys22]

They do not have three NFL QBs, they have two. That is all.

 

[viman96]

Linehan hire was 100% Garrett

If it's bad. It's jerry's fault. If it's good it's McClay or Garrett.

It was literally Barry and that's it.
