I like the idea of drafting a backup QB for Romo this offseason and think that my school (Abilene Christian) may have just produced a great candidate.

Billy Malone just graduated from ACU and led our team to a perfect regular season that ended in us being ranked #2 nationally in Div 2.  We did lose a heartbreaker in the third round of the playoffs but in the second round we won by the score of 93-68 (not a typo)

Just watching Billy play every week convinced me that he could make a decent backup in the NFL. He is more poised in the pocket than any college QB I've seen and literally looks like a man among boys.  This is probably due to the fact that he will be 26 by the time the draft comes around which is the main reason I think he is prime to be a backup.  His story is very long and entertaining and I'll post a link to a NY Times article about him later on here.  His age brings the experience we need and his obscurity make it easier for us to get him.

Also I think it would be great because another famous Cowboys backup QB came out of ACU. The one-hit-wonder Clint Longley.

Billy was a D1 recruit before his heart condition forced him to take a few years off.  Now hes perfectly healthy. (talks more about it in the articles about him)

This is Billy's ACU profile

This is the story of Billy's career and is probably the best comeback story of any player entering the draft this year (read both pgs)

This is another profile of Billy with his stats for his first three years

This is another article by Bruce Feldman of ESPN about billys story

I honestly think Billy could be a very plausible solution to our backup QB situation, and his age is what is keeping his draft stock from rising which would be all the better for the Cowboys so we dont have to use one of ou higher picks to pick him up
