Manziel a Cowboy?

This would be highly entertaining. What would they do with romo? Trade or teach Manziel for a year?

I remember reading that cutting Romo this season would be a huge hit, and if they did next off season it would still be a big hit but more manageable. After that getting rid of Romo becomes more of a possibility.

So due to his contract I think he'd stick around for a couple of seasons, and then be traded or cut. I suppose that would allow their staff to develop Manziel before making him a starter.

The whole rookie wage cap does it make it possible to draft a quarterback and let him develop behind an established starter.  On the other hand that assumes Dallas moves up, Manziel falls or some combination of the two.  If Dallas were struggling to fill seats and needed a home town product to do that Manziel would be a good choice.  On the other hand having him there would put a ton of pressure on the team to put him in if Romo struggled at all and once you did that Romo would be done and you would have an albatross of a salary to deal with.

In my opinion, I think Manziel is ahead of Cam in the passing game, but, his size scares me to death.

Cams passing is getting better, but Manziel will never be bigger than he is. None of these smallish, running QB's last that long. He is not comfortable under pressure and the NFL is not college ball as every guy on the defense is faster than he has seen at T A&M.

He will get crushed in my opinion. Dallas is a great spot for him.

Practicing your stand up routine, eh?

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
