The ‘boys say howdy to Isaiah
Former Husky quarterback Isaiah Stanback was drafted in the 4th round by the Dallas Cowboys this morning. It’s a little surprising Stanback went that high. He’s an amazing athlete but isn’t a terribly talented quarterback. It’s likely the Cowboys drafted him with the idea of converting him to a position where his athletic ability can be put to good use — like wide receiver or safety/CB.
Good luck, Isaiah. Even though you were kind of a hard-luck guy for the Huskies, your competitive spirit will be missed. Please don’t be mad when I root for your dismal failure if/when you play against the Seahawks.

I can’t believe they took Stanback over Troy Smith, Chris Leak or Jared Zabransky. Not to say Stanback isn’t a good player and wouldn’t be great in a position other then QB but with Romo as your starter and Beldsoe as number two I would have thought they’d gone for a QB with proven abilities.
Bledsoe retired earlier this year and the Cowboys signed Brad Johnson to back up Romo. Regardless, Stanback won’t get much of a chance to play QB. He’s destined to be a receiver/returner/special teams/trick play kind of guy. And there’s nothing wrong with that - Antwaan Randle El has made a pretty good career out of it.
