This guy deserves a ton of credit. A 6th round rookie playing this well is pretty rare. His selection and play is huge, and could possibly save us from needing to look for CB high in the next few drafts.

You going to find a better back up QB than Romo?Originally Posted by Jiggyfly
I also want to see Dak do it for more than one season, before moving on.
Distraction is a weak out in my mind. If that causes a distraction then they are weak mentally
Seems like a massive missed opportunity. You have the chance to improve the entire team with the extra cap space and draft picks that other teams do not have. But instead you're settling for trying to have a situation similar to every other NFL team. You're basically picking a backup over 2 or 3 excellent starting players at positions other then QB.
As much as I want to agree with you in keeping Romo the smarter thing to do is to get rid of that contract. Use it other places and improve the team. Its Daks team now for better or worse.

Key word backup.
You don't spend that kind of money on backup especially when Dak has no history of injuries.
So you think Romo is just going to sit around amicably in case it does not work out with Dak?
My essential point is that both QB's Cap hit is not much greater than the cap hit for one player on 9 different teams.
Anyone watching the Cowboys week in and week out this season could see that Brown had been playing well all year but I did not know that he was that comparable to Apple. I have heard a lot of praise heaped on Apple lately, and deservedly so, but given those numbers Brown should be getting a lot more attention. Hell of a season from what looks to be a late round steal. Impressive.
This comparison is interesting, but wonder why it leaves out catches allowed, YPC/YAC allowed, opposing passer rating, and TD's allowed? Those are kind of key stats for CBs. I also like PFF's yards per snap where the DB is in coverage and coverage snaps per reception.
I know at midseason, Brown was at the bottom of most rankings.
I thought the cap relief is minimal, if you only save 3 mill in cap space (money you can spend) and are not getting any interesting offers (high 2nd or better) why bother?
Have 2 excellent QB's for next season and wait for a good offer (see Vikings) or try again next year...

Apple has been better than Brown but I'll take Brown's production out of a 6th round pick before I'd take Apple's with the 10th overall.
