Gil Brandt: Why Cowboys shouldn't pick a quarterback in first round

[Joe Fan]

Just being chicken shit.

Being a Dallas Cowboy QB has always been viewed as some divine right.

Like the guy that does it was "chosen".

We have been pretty fucking lucky that most that have fallen into the job have been pretty decent.

So now you have this fucking stupid idea that we are different from any other QB starved team.

That somehow, some undrafted waif like Romo will drop out of the sky.

No, sorry.

Being the QB of the Dallas Cowboys is not decided by divine intervention.

We might have to actually earn it this time.

By drafting a guy, and developing him. With that ungodly pressure.

Oh woe is us.

I totally agree with you. We lucked out on Romo big time.

It's very rare that we're in a position to take a QB high without having the instant pressure of having to be a Day 1 starter.

It would be foolish to not take advantage of this opportunity and set us up at the most important position for years to come.

LT, he wasn't very good.

May have been. The team as a whole was bad so I guess his transgressions were lost on me.
