OT Cowboys

[RevSader]

Don't believe Russell Wilson was a top 5 pick. I guess they do nothing then.

Seattle wins because of their defense and running game. Wilson just has to not screw up and they win games. Using a third round find as proof Dallas needs to do something isn't a very strong case. Wilson's success is an outlier in terms of draft order.

I'm using your terms of top 5 pick as a starting point, and with that only 13 of 32 starting QBs were top 5 picks

But 21 were 1st rounds picks (if counting Manziel)

And 5 2nd rounders, 4 3rd rounders (If counting Mallett & McCown), 2 6th rounders and 2 Undrafted FAs (Romo & if counting Hoyer)

So 34 QBs, and only 13 were top 5 picks, meaning you can find starting caliber QBs outside the top 5, and that WIlson is a bit more than an outlier

Also Weedon was a 1st rounder and Cassel was a 7th rounder, but didn't include them bc its clear who would start if Romo was in there

Hey, you're right. I was being myopic and reactionary in my thinking. But there are maybe 10 worthy QBs in the NFL that you would want. It's a hard position and taking the right QB is more important than just drafting one to draft. As I am sure Redskins would agree.

The statement made me curious, so I decided to see what the numbers were, not really out to prove you wrong

So you're saying its hard to find a smart, accurate and strong armed QB in this league?

Why would the Giants not run more clock off. Did they not learn anything from the Cowboys game.

Seems like a crapshoot to me. Teams feel the pressure to take a QB so they end up with a Sam Bradford or Mark Sanchez while their counterparts take a guy like Rodgers later in the first round and he sits for years and then is amazing.

Bradford isn't a bad QB, actually been pretty good (outside of this year), but injuries have done him in

He's absolutely mediocre in every way even without the injuries. I would be pretty upset if I spent a number one overall pick on the guy and that's what I got.

But I am sure Stephen Jones will probably draft a QB at some point. Just hope it's someone that works out.

Disagree about Bradford, I'll leave it at that

Laid an egg in the second half today, total abortion

 

[Nightcrawler]

Does anyone think the Cowboys have a good shot at a win? The saints are pretty bad at 0-3

Tell him DT.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Of course I love the Cowboys too but I just don't even care if they win or lose today because Texas took care of business and got the west.

Lucky break with the PI call and then the fumble

Call overturned. Ball crossed the plain.

Lee out with a concussion. He can't stay healthy

 

[Duane1952]

Carr needs to be cut. He sucks.
