Today was a whirlwind tour for Cutler news.  First, I saw this morning that Cutler might be dealt to the Washington Redskins.  This afternoon, I heard he was being traded to the Cleveland Browns.  By supper, it was announced that he was being traded to the Chicago Bears for Kyle Orton and two number one picks.

Now that the nonsense is over, what about a trade for Romo?  For some reason, Dallas Morning News columnist Todd Archer re-approached the idea today.  I don’t know what possessed him to write about it; maybe it was a slow news day.  Other pundits talked about this at least two weeks ago.  I guess Archer had more important things to do.

Let me do a little bit of fantasizing.  Jay Cutler is not someone I would be trading Tony Romo for.  But, there is a person, a quarterback, that I would trade Romo for in a heart-beat.  Sorry, Tony, but he has proven himself on the field.

He’s not flashy.  He doesn’t have that boyish grin.  Well, maybe a little bit.  He is not reported to have dated a famous singer, or two.  He’s not ever going to throw for 4,000 yards.  He will rarely throw for more than 20 touchdowns in a season.  He might fall below a 100 passer rating.  Heck, he’s even younger than Romo.

What he has done is win two Super Bowl titles in just five years.  He is great with 4th quarter comebacks.  He is 51-20 in regular season games which is a 72% winning percentage.  He is 8-2 in the playoffs with two Super Bowl wins in two Super Bowls.

He is Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers.  I would take him straight up over Tony Romo.  My hope for Romo–because “Big” Ben isn’t going anywhere–is that he becomes a little more like Roethlisberger.

So, our media guys need to quit worrying about a Romo-Cutler trade.  Maybe, we can ask the Steelers nicely if they would let us have Ben.  Not going to happen.

And, while we are playing “fantasy” football.  Let’s talk about the “wildcat” package.

I’m not sure what the Cowboys could call it.  Maybe the “Wade-cat” package.  Or, the “new-stadium-in-Arlington-package.”  Maybe they can get naming rights for it.  I can see it now.  “The Cowboys are lining up in their Sponsored-by-AT&T Package.”  I am sure former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman would love to say that while covering a game for Fox.

Nevertheless, our friends in the media have told us the Cowboys are considering the “wildcat” formation which was made famous by Darren McFadden at the University of Arkansa and then brought to the Miami Dolphins by former Razorback coach David Lee.  (See here, here and here.)

Names have been thrown around.  It seems the Cowboys might draft for the “wildcat” quarterback.  Someone such as Pat White from West Virginia comes to mind.  White played in an option-oriented spread-style offense for the Mountaineers.

Isaiah Stanback has also come up, and the upside with him is he is already a Cowboys.  Stanback was a quarterback for the University of Washington who was drafted to play receiver for the Cowboys.

Also, Felix Jones has also been mentioned.  Jones was the”other” running back for the Razorbacks when they used the “wildcat” package with Darren McFadden at the QB spot.  Jones was a crucial element in the formation.  Any “wildcat” package that doesn’t include Jones in the plans, for the Cowboys, would be silly because of his experience with the package.

The Cowboys could consider drafting Azle’s James Casey who is a very versatile athlete and who has lined up at quarterback while playing for Rice.  He could be used a number of different ways and provide some depth at the tight end position.

Now see, isn’t “fantasy” football fun?

Therefore, I will scan various sources who write about the Cowboys often and offer up a few that are interesting or important.  Then, you can go and read about them and learn the latest buzz on the Cowboys.
