I know Romo isn't a limited QB but I will say this. He has done a good job of getting Romo to limit his turnovers.

Leaf was a head case who couldn't make reads to save his life. I think it was his HS coach that first mentioned something to Polian and the Colts scouts/coaches about his inability to read progressions. Polian (and Bethard who ended up drafting Leaf at SD) were doing interviews in Jan this year when the story from Leigh Stienberg's book came out about Leaf having tricked the Colts. Both Indy and SD wanted Peyton because of the concerns with Leaf's smarts.
By the time he was in Dallas, there was nothing to salvage. To say Leaf was a "solid" draft pick is fantasy. Here is what Bethard said about him when he first got into Chargers camp.

That's debatable. The poise, that is.

He also was nursing what turned out to be a career ending wrist injury by the time he got to Dallas and ended up retiring because of it.

You aren't saying you think Wilson is a good QB coach...are you?
Yeah. There's a fair list of QBs to judge a coach by.

I've never used the word good and Wade Wilson in the same sentence before this. But to try judge him off of just those names is just like I said. Not very fair.You aren't saying you think Wilson is a good QB coach...are you?
I was laughing more at the names on the list. Not really at what Deuce had said about them.

What Garrett wants and needs.
All that matters is what Jerry wants and needs and I could see that being Manziel. He would put butts in the seats and the Cowboys in the spotlight. In all honesty I would love it as long as we don't have to trade up. Romo has been nice but I have seen enough of him to know he isn't the QB we need. I saw lots of parts of Romo's game that I didn't like last year. I think the hits are adding up with him and he isn't going to get this team over the hump no matter what we put around him on offense. He looked scared last year and held the ball way to long while our O-line was playing very good. I'm ready for a new QB and the opportunity to quickly fix our cap.

There are already butts in the seats. No? And the Cowboys are not in the spotlight. Only 5 PT games this year.

You might be ready, good for you. Now fasten your seat belt and get ready for an OL/ Dl in round one and Bucannon in round two. Now simmer down. Bucannon is a three year captain, need I say more; or what is your prediction.

Think of the Jersey sales alone.

This is exactly right. Jerry loves splashy moves and this would be a huge one. Of course if he isn't available at 16 I don't think it's going to happen.
