Why the Cowboys should pass on drafting a quarterback

The Dallas Cowboys just finished their worst season in 25 years in large part because the most important player on the team who happens to play the most important position in football was able to finish just two games.

Due to this fact, Dallas has dubiously “earned” the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Given that…

  • Quarterback Tony Romo will be 36 years old when the 2016 season starts
  • He has had two back surgeries in the last three years
  • He has broken the same clavicle three times in the past six years
  • He has missed 24 games since 2010

… it makes sense that you would want for the Cowboys to use this opportunity to bring in his eventual replacement.
