How is anyone questioning whether to let Tyrod walk or not?
- Do we really want to go back to starting bad QB's with the dollar and a dream plan to draft a stud?
- Do we really want to pay for Tony Romo? Who lost his job to a rookie, will ask for more money that Tyrod next year, and who has never won a SB?
- Do we really think Tyrod is the problem when we're a run heavy offense in a passing league, Our #1 WR has basically been out all year, we really dont have a true #2 WR on the roster, Robert Woods isn't being played where he should be (in the slot), and we've been forced to start walk-on's and #4, 5, even 6 WR's on the depth chart?
- Do we really want a pocket passer with our OL? We don't have the OL of Dal or Oak
And consider this:
- Tyrod currently has the 25th highest cap hit at the QB position
- Next years cap hit if we pick up the option will be 20th in the league... 20th
- The team, with Tyrods contract, is set to be 32 mill under in 2017 as per Spotrac at this point
For the cost to us vs. going rate, Tyrods upside, his abilities as a runner, and his deep ball this isn't a tough choice. Keep him.
And if Whaley stays (likely) and Rex stays (not as likley) he will be kept. If we have a new HC all bets are off and he could be gone. But personally, I'd rather just keep him and improve the OL and weapons. He's not our problem.
