    Yeah, even last night Dak should have had about 3 interceptions. 1 got wiped out due to a penalty away from the ball and the other 2 were dropped by defenders. He's looked good so far, but we shouldn't be starting to build his HOF bust just yet.

    Cowboys fans don't want to see Dak this year ironically. That would mean Romo is hurt and you are putting your season in the hands of a raw QB

    imo we should roll with only 2 qbs on the roster like last year

    many teams are extremely shaky at backup QB (PIT) and we could probably get something decent for Weeden

    I'd roll with 2 for sure...and Braxton as an absolute emergency.

    We could use that extra roster spot for an extra RB or WR.

    I agree.

    No need for Weeden.

    NFL has eliminated "probable" from the injury report.

    This Nick Martin injury is a major kick in the nuts.

    Yeah it just establishes the fact that we won't get competent play out of our center for at least most of the season. The O line is really a mess right now.

    With all the injuries to the QBs every year, I want three. I know if two QBs get injured, you can go looking for a backup off the street; but wouldn't you rather one who was in training camp?

    If we have our top 2 QBs injured, I dont think it makes much of a difference to have a street FA over someone in the system. If it's for a bunch of games, then the team is screwed anyways...and if its just for one game, then I'd rather have a free open roster spot for an extra RB or WR.

    seems like we might want to use this to shore up some areas of need

    Interesting: According to @McClain_on_NFL, Texans film QBs walking on & off field to see who is walking with them. Never heard that before.

    LOL But him being on the roster after two QBs went down definitely helped with the team's playoff run.
