They have drafted the first two rounds pretty well the last 5 years Will McClay has been involved so whatever they do I can't fault it.

Here's the list of veteran free agents coming up this spring. Name the one you think the Cowboys could sign for backup money that would be better than Weeden/Cassel/Moore.

I wonder if they wanted to bring in an offensive minded head coach since Winston looks like he may be the real deal

Matt Moore might get a kick of the tires in that respect. Resign Kellen Moore and behind Romo you have Moore QBs. <.< >.>

How many teams in the league actually have a backup QB you can count on to come in and win a game for you? I think most of these guys are just there so there is actually a guy throwing the ball for 2nd team practice reps with the rare exception of a young guy being groomed. It's not like NFL QB is a deep enough position that some capable guy is going to be fine with riding the pine.

I'm just a stupid Cincinnati Bengals homer, but AJ McCarron hasn't looked half bad. It's not like the Bengals look like a Romo-less Cowboys without Dalton. Soundly beat the 49ers and Ravens (teams they should have beat soundly) and took the #1 seeded Broncos to OT.

Kellen Moore's honestly their best bet right now. Costs them next to nothing and has shown he can play at least average.
Their real problem is their turnover difference was -22. For reference, second place was -14. Even if Moore played perfectly and threw 0 interceptions, they would still have the worst differential in the league.

Bengals would be one of my examples of a team that likely had a much better backup situation than the Cowboys. Moon is right that Cowboys had a lot more issues too though, honestly Bengals at full health probably top 3 roster in the league...they'd just have to have Dalton answer that playoff question to be a true contender in my mind.

Denver analyst and some fans want Elway to go back and try to get Thomas in the off season, especially now that they cleaned house.

Rather have RG3, if those are my two options.
Turnover differential is such a lucky stat year to year too. Same coaches, same players (minus Scandrick, plus Sean Lee) last year were one of the better defenses in the league at turnovers.

Both are still under contract. JFF is probably going to get let go by the new regime in Brownieville but given how fast everyone is dropping ties from him, I don't see Jerry pulling the trigger there unless the contract protected the team in the event he goes full(er) retard. Not sure about RG3 unless there's a thought that they could fix him. It'll probably be the most interesting offseason story surrounding the team, full of plenty of shit Florio can make up to generate clicks for PFT.

I guess underachieving is worth an extension if you're not the Eagles.

They probably need to cut RG3 to make room for Kirk Cousins semi-franchise contract.
