Which college QB do we realistically have a chance of drafting?

[skinsscalper]

Brett Smith (University Of Wyoming).

We cannot AFFORD to draft injured players, our roster is filled with the dregs of the NFL already.

A single injury is not a good probibility indicator of future injuries.

Murray is gonna go higher than that. I won't be shocked if he goes mid 2nd to early 3rd. He is very athletic and a tough player. Id love to draft him if he is there in the 3rd

Sean Lee,matt Johnson et all suggest something different, we have had more bad luck than good luck with these injured guys.

You have to look at the NFL overall and not just the Cowboys in recent years to evaluate the probability of future injury based on injury history.

Matt Johnson had multiple injuries and was injured in High School.

Some research that I've seen indicates that players with multiple injuries, even if they are somewhat minor, have a higher probability of being injured in the NFL than players with a single, but severe season ending injury.

I agree that the Cowboys need to make injuries their top concern, but they need to be smart about how they minimize the probability of injuries. It not as simple as just avoiding players that happen to be injured the season before their draft while drafting other players that are currently healthy but have a significant injury history with multiple occurances.

Jimmy Garoppolo from Eastern Illinois would be a great fit.

2nd rounder...book it.

Any QB picked in this draft is stupid...

DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE.

If I am not mistaken,there will be a 2015 draft next year. and there will be QBs to draft.

2nd rounder...book it.

A guy who specializes in scouting qbs says 4th or 5th round for Garoppolo. I would love the pick in the 5th.

I'd rather not draft someone who "got injured". We have too many of those guys on our roster.

what I dont want to see is another Romo experiment.

if we see somebody in the 3rd or 4th round and its a good investment..

do it.

At this point it would be hard to give those players away. Too much cap space for a team to want them. You'd have to give up Tyron Smith, or all of this year's picks and next year's first, something like that. It's not happening.

Manziel could drop just like Aaron Rodgers did. I doubt we'd take him at 16. We are too invested in Romo. Even if Manziel excels, he's on the bench for most of his rookie contract according to the plan.

Teams aren't drafting guys to sit anymore..

Zach Mettenberger LSU prototypical size and arm. Knowledge of a pro style offense. Better measurables and stronger arm than Aaron Murray.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Carr.

Multiple injuries to the same parts of the body (muscle strains, joint injuries, broken bones, etc) should be looked at more closely, as they might be indicitive of problems. This is an area where good statistical analysis might be real helpful. A single injury shouldn't be a complete write off, otherwise you'd get people saying Navarro Bowman is now injury prone. I've seen players hurt in car wrecks referred to as 'injury prone' because of it.

Of course, sometimes it doesn't matter....Frank Gore had multiple knee surgeries in college, but turned out to be a pretty dang good 2nd round pick.

I take a shot based on his girlfriend alone.

McCarron

Aaron Murray out of Georgia - was a mid-first round prospect, got injured and will likely be available in the 3rd/4th/5th. I've been campaigning for us to draft him since September. Similar to Nick Foles he has all the necessary skills to emerge as a franchise QB. He's commonly compared to as "Tony Romo-like" in his playing style.

I like the guy. If they draft a QB then I think that says there is a medical problem with Romo.

 

[5Stars]

I bet the Cowboys don't draft a QB this year. I bet they either keep Orton, if not, they will sign some other QB from somebody's practice squad or maybe another UDFA. Next year would be the time to draft a QB if they need to.

QB's are irrelevant...for now. Fix the defense and just a good QB can win some games.

Except murray beat Mettenberger head to head and is a better athlete. Not to mention Mettenberger has character issues. Which is why he didnt play at UGA in the first place.
