What's worse, the Cowboys needing to trade for Josh McCown or Cleveland being scared to let him go?

Pick your poison. If the Browns are scared to let him go, that at least tells me he has some skills. I haven't seen McCown play. Anyone?

Only if Jerry took the fact that Foles signed with the Chiefs as an insult.

The only QB out there that I would be okay with losing a draft pick for........Keenum! 
Otherwise, roll with they have and hope Romo makes it through the season. McCown is no better than what they threw out there last season.

If they trade for McCown, at 37 years of age, that tells you that the Cowboys only want someone there until Moore gets back or until Prescott or Showers can handle backup duties which is idiotic in my opinion.
While I'm optimistic that Prescott can grow into a solid quarterback in the NFL in a couple of years, why not bring in a guy who can provide yet another shot as our future quarterback as well? From now on, every season could be Romo's last and letting optimism and hope limit your contingency planning is not only foolish, it's outright stupid and narrow minded.
Any quarterback the Cowboys sign to be the backup should be one that has had success in the NFL and who is young enough to have several years left to play in the NFL. Signing a 37 year old quarterback (and I really don't care how good he is or can play) is wasting an opportunity that could set this team back years if Prescott does not pan out in 2-3 years and I say that as a Prescott fan.
The front office and coaching staff needs to stop thinking about the moment and start thinking about life after Romo. We have a really good young foundation on this team and wasting time on has-been and never-will-be quarterbacks is detrimental to the team's future.
It's time for the Cowboys front office and coaching staff to wake up! What they have tried has not worked.. time to think outside the box .. where most other teams' front office and coaching staffs are already hanging out.

He, in the very literal sense, TORCHED us late in the 2013 season. We weren't a great team, but we were looking the part to take the division when there were two good teams ahead of us relying on their back-up QBs (McCown with the Bears and Flynn with GB). Short story even shorter: McCown clowned us hard..to the tune of (had to google stats) 4TDs in a 45-28 victory. Then, to follow up that colossally bad performance, we (Garrett) absolutely gave the next game away to Matt Mother-******-Flynn! This has been the background on my facebook page since that GB loss (credits to whoever created it):

Yeah, because we had too many QBs and not enough snaps to go around. When Moore got injured that changed, but Foles opted to sign with the Chiefs.

Look at the bright side. In a few months, we will be plotting our way from number 5 pick to get to number 1, to get the next QB.

CLE is not scared to let him go, they are just posturing to drive up the price...

Yep. And they'll eventually cut someone we'd have otherwise traded for, and we'd get them--if we still wanted them--late in camp or heading into the season. Lose/lose.

A fun Josh Mckown fact, last QB to ever handoff to Emmitt Smith.... If hes the best option and can be had for a low draft pick why not make the move?
