Unless Prescott falters badly, this has exactly zero chance of happening

Johnny Walker GM was suggesting last week that he thought Romo might make a good offensive coordinator. Numerous people said the same thing about Jason Garrett back in the mid to late 90's too, including a HOF QB and the drunk owner. That said, whatever the coaches are doing with Prescott...

He was moved off NFI, I think they have 3 week exemption where he can practice (which reportedly isn't going to happen) After the exemption period they either have to move him to 53 or IR.

We are in agreement. Have no clue what they see in this guy right now.

We know in 1990 Jimmy highly coveted LB's Junior Seau, James Francis and Lamar Lathon. I think its a virtual lock he'd have picked Thomas over Deion in 1989.

Guess it might have depended on who they'd have had to pick from. Rounds were only 14 picks long in 1964. Two QB's were taken right after we picked 4th, if Staubach would have been available without the service commitment I'm sure he easily goes to Detroit (5th) or LA Rams (7th) at the latest...

I doubt we'd have been dominant team we became, let alone a 3 time Champion without Aikman. There was no other QB anywhere near his caliber available. I doubt we'd have even been a yr over yr playoff team with Steve Walsh or Jeff George as QB

Sanders or Thomas almost assuredly. I don't know that anything was ever discussed about a what if thing, when Jimmy got here we already had the #1 overall pick secured and Landry and the Cowboys FO had already intended to take Aikman #1. Jimmy's only comment that I remember is basically there...

According to the article, he blew off pregame warmups and stuff too.

I don't think there's much doubt he'd have been the 1st or 2nd pick that yr without a Naval commitment. he was possibly the greatest college football player of alltime at that point. Everyone knew he was an amazing talent. This wasn't some Tony Romo situation where nobody knew who he was or had...

Huh? You mean you believe they "planned" to take Roger in the 10th rd? And that they knew nobody else would? WTF Again we got lucky with Prescott. It doesn't matter that we had other guys rated ahead of him or even tried to get into position to get someone else. Other teams could have taken...

Sorry, but we got the best player in college football, one of the transcendent players of his time in the damn 10th round. I don't care if your rationale is "well they just took him because he was a good player who happened to be there". That's b/s, any of the other existing teams COULD have...

From Peter King's MMQB column:

Its rare I agree with Doomsdumb about anything, but he has a point about this. Romo didnt look overly thrilled yesterday. Maybe he didn't feel good. Maybe he's at the point where in his mind he knows its beyond over for him. Maybe he needed to take a big dump. But he definitely didn't seem to...

LOL Wat? How can you argue there wasn't a certain degree of luck in getting Roger Staubach in the 10th rd? How can you argue that we (the franchise) didn't get pretty damn lucky that a 2 win Green Bay team beat a .500 Phoenix Cardinals team on the road to LOSE the rights to the #1 overall...

I think this is what they were looking for. They were probably wanting him to share his opinion on Prescott's game, especially after struggling early and then being sensations the last 2+ quarters. Kinda surprises me he didn't say anything and just bailed.

LOL

Knee thing

I think Zero was the only guy in this forum who liked the pick. He was by himself IIRC My opinion of Prescott then was he was an upgraded Quincy Carter, and I HATED the DUI thing. I was really stunned that after that came out, Wade Wilson was still having meetings with him. I thought they'd...

Every great QB we've had is the result of some sort of massive luck. Staubach ending up here was massive luck. The Naval commitment is all that prevented some team from nabbing him #1 or #2 overall. Getting Troy Aikman was really lucky. All Green Bay had to do was lose on the road against a...
