Who is the future at QB?

[DoctorChicken]

Just curious how many full North Dakota games you have watched this year? My guess on the over under is 10 plays.

I've seen 16 games of his.

Wentz is a legit prospect.

A first round pick with good preseason preparation should be able to do ok starting. Plenty have done it in recent years. Yes there is a learning curve, but they're generally better than a JAG career backup. I think drafting a first rounder is Romos best chance to get a ring before he retires.

What you're suggesting is more than using a first round pick it's the #1 overall pick that would also cost us our #2. It would be ludicrous to trade up to the #1 overall spot for a backup QB who could end up being a bust and passing up a player like Bosa who could immediately help our defense. No one has done what you're suggesting. There's not a team in the history of the draft that's traded up to the #1 overall spot to draft a player to backup an established starter who's still playing at a very high level. Romo's best chance to get a ring is to draft a player who can start immediately helping to plug one of the many holes we have. The top 5 especially the #1 overall pick isn't where you target a backup player.

I have no issue using a #1 on a QB but you trade down out of the top 10 to do it and pick up an extra #2 and possibly more picks. You can then take a QB or another position of need then draft a QB with one of your #2's. Even for a team that's desperate for a franchise QB Goff isn't worth what you're suggesting. I haven't heard anyone compare him to Peyton Manning or John Elway it would take a QB like that for me to give up a #2 to move up just 3 spots. Washington gave up the farm for RG3 in 2012 and ended up drafting a better QB in the 4th round. If you're going gamble on a QB gamble later on and gets some picks in return. You don't gamble your future on a backup QB when you already have a franchise QB.

Watch him yourself at 11am in the FCS Championship game on ESPN2.

I think he's our pick.

With Gabbert going bust JAX needed a "starting" QB which is why they took Bortles at #3 overall. The Cowboys aren't looking for a starting QB they're looking for a backup and you don't look for backups at any position in the top 5 of the draft.

They are fooling themselves if they think that they only need a backup QB. With Romo's health issues, they need to draft the future starter that can fill in as a backup for a couple years and then become the starting QB. You don't get a future starting QB by drafting one of the scrubs after the first couple of rounds. To have the chance at getting the future starter is well worth a top pick. A sure way to failure is to draft a QB in the mid to late rounds with the intention of him developing into a starter. It just doesn't happen often enough to gamble at the QB position. If the scouts see the future QB in this draft, they better use their top pick to get him.

I think people wanting the QB taken care of this offseason (Myself included) are going to be horribly disappointed.

I have resigned myself to the thought that Jerry is probably going to sign JF or RGIII and then they'll go elsewhere in the draft.

I just have a feeling that's what's going to happen.

yeah I agree.
Jerry likes the vet qb's he will get one of them, and for me I like kap as a backup, due to his run ability. and he has good size.

 

[Romo2Dez4six]

Sorry tell all but like him or not Jerry is going to do whatever needed to get Manziel. It would be foolish to think that's not going to happen.

He's far beyond a prospect. This kid is the real deal and the other two are just standing still in his shadow. Jerry
better get the draft card ready....

crazy, but maybe true when it comes to jerry.

Then if that's true everybody here might as well start following the Commanders cause the Cowboys won't visit any SB's anytime soon.

I've been saying all along the Cowboys can trade down and draft a QB later in the first round or in the second round. There's been a lot of excellent starting QBs that were taken after the top 10 picks. I can give you an entire list of QBs who ended up being better NFL QBs than QBs that were taken ahead of them. Just 2 years ago Manziel was taken ahead of Bridgwater and Carr who are developing into solid NFL QBs. Jerry almost made the mistake of drafting Manziel when he could have had a solid backup and a future starter in Bridgewater or Carr. Several QBs were taken ahead of Tom Brady and two QBs were taken ahead of Brett Favre. There were 3 QBs taken ahead of Dan Marino who lasted until the second to last pick of the first round. Todd Blackledge who went bust was taken ahead of Jim Kelly and Marino.

Alex Smith was drafted 24 picks of Aaron Rodgers. The first QB off the board doesn't mean they'll end up being the best QB. With Romo still playing at a very high level we have time to find a QB and we certainly don't need to be taking one with the 4th overall pick who's going to sit for several seasons risking the chance they could go stale. A top college QB needs practice reps and some game reps to develop which they won't get playing behind Romo. These QBs need to PLAY! All these young QBs who are having success in the league such as Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Bridgewater and Carr started as rookies. Andy Dalton and Matt Ryan started as rookies they need to PLAY and gain experience not stand on the sidelines for several seasons.

Actually, KJ, there were FIVE QBs taken ahead of Marino. Kind of amazing.

Right, left out Eason and O'Brien.

Manziel will be just another player he'll have to baby sit for couple of years until he shows up for a practice hungover and the team moves on from him.

 

[camelboy]

Wentz is so big he looks like a man among boys

 

[MagicMan]

Been watching this Wentz guy..........wow, looks kinda like another Cam Newton with big arm and big body. Not a scrambler but can run north/south bigtime. Would not mind at all if Dallas got him. Draft stock will rise after this game and in pre draft.

Ooops , INT as soon as I said that. Still good though.

 

[windward]

I have a feeling Garrett and company are going to fall in love with Wentz in a few weeks.

I just hope they don't pick him at 4. Trade down a few spots and pick up a 2nd if you're taking Wentz.

He might actually be too big, as most quarterbacks that size or taller have never amounted to anything. Although Peyton is alternately listed as 6'5 or 6'6", so that's something.

Cam is also listed in the 6'5" to 6'6" range and is 250 pounds. Roethlisberger is just about as big. The QBs who've failed are over 6'6" like Dan McGwire who was 6'8". They're usually not very athletic or very nimble.
