When the Dallas Cowboys' 4-12 season ended, one of the biggest question marks with the team was the backup quarterback position.

As the NFL draft has gotten closer, the conversation has evolved from just finding a suitable backup for Tony Romo to potentially finding his heir.

Whether Jerry Jones gets another quarterback through the draft or free agency is anyone's guess. And as time goes on, the possibility of Johnny Manziel donning the star on his helmet is dwindling. One option that has been heavily talked about is Robert Griffin III.

Below is some analysis from SportsDay's writers, as well as members of the national media.

Rick Gosselin doesn't see a fit

Goose just doesn't see the Dallas Cowboys being a fit with RG III. Below is a snippet of his column, which can be read in its entirety here.

And the Cowboys? I just don't see it. As much as Jerry Jones likes the star factor -- the bigger the names on the marquee, the better -- I don't see the Cowboys as a landing spot for Griffin.

Romo can say all the right things about the Cowboys possibly drafting and developing a young quarterback. But a player with RG3's credentials might be a little too ready for Romo's comfort. All players want to leave the game on their terms. They don't want to be shoved out the door. We saw the discomfort in both Green Bay (Brett Favre) and San Francisco (Joe Montana) when those franchises brought in their quarterbacks-in-waiting (Aaron Rodgers and Steve Young).

Griffin is only 26. His best years as a football player should still be ahead of him. But I believe this is a quarterback who needs to be rebuilt mentally and physically. He is no longer the talent Washington dealt three first-round picks to acquire in the 2012 draft.

RG III to Los Angeles?

The former Baylor quarterback reportedly told The Los Angeles Daily News that he wants to play alongside Todd Gurley. Read more on that here.

Joe Theismann on Griffin

While on KESN-FM 103.3 with Dennis and Friedo, Theismann said that the QB might be struggling because he never learned to be a drop-back quarterback while at Baylor. Read more on that here.

Adam Schefter: RGIII will be in play for the Cowboys

ESPN's NFL guru said he could see Griffin ending up on the Cowboys' roster.

"They're gonna make some moves here. Let's just say you sign RG3 during the offseason, you solidify the quarterback position," he said. "You decide to go defense; you get a running back in there. Very quickly you think your team is back to what it was, not this past year, but the year before. I think RG3 is gonna be in play for the Dallas Cowboys. So that would be one quarterback option that might make it easier for you to pass on a quarterback this year. But the bottom line is if there's a quarterback they love, it's hard to pass up solidifying the next 12 years of your franchise by doing that."

David Moore: If he comes here, it's as a backup

From a recent David Moore SportsDay chat:

"I know there is a fascination that the Cowboys could grab RG III. I wouldn't rule it out. But if RG III comes here, it's knowing he's the backup. There are some teams where he has a chance to go in and win the starting job immediately. Houston comes to mind."

Jason Hatcher: Griffin could "definitely" fit in Dallas

Hatcher played with the Cowboys for eight seasons, and even played against RGIII when he was still the Redskins' starter. The defensive lineman said he thinks Griffin and Dallas would be a good match.

"It would be great. He has learned a lot," Hatcher said. "He is chomping at the bit to get back out there. He is not just a running quarterback anymore. I definitely think he would be a good fit in Dallas. And it is kind of home for him."

Another Washington Redskin thinks RGIII could fit in with Cowboys

Hatcher wasn't the only Washington Redskin to suggest that Griffin go to Dallas. Former tight end Chris Cooley, who played nine seasons in Washington, said Dallas is an option for the former Baylor quarterback.

"I'll tell you where he's going to go: He's going to go to Dallas," Cooley said. "He's going to have a conversation with Jerry Jones in which Jerry Jones is going to say, 'I want you, I believe in you, Tony's not going to make it very much longer, he's probably not going to make it this year, and I believe you can do it.

"And Jerry will show him more belief than any other owner, and he's going to like that ownership belief, because he's had ownership belief in the past. Not just a GM, not just a coach saying we like you. He's going to like it from the highest level, which is the only place he's going to get it from. The Dallas Cowboys have the only owner that will come and talk to him."

Griffin's old coach called Dallas a "dream" spot

Speaking of Baylor, Griffin's former coach Art Briles offered up his opinion on the Heisman trophy winner.

"You could have a dream. That would probably be making it come true," Briles told SportsDay of a potential Dallas-Griffin pairing. "That would be a great place for him. It's a great organization; being back in Texas and with the Cowboys and having a chance to get in there under Romo for three years. Not that they need to sell tickets, but it wouldn't hurt ticket sales."

Troy Aikman could see Griffin in Dallas

Before the Manziel allegations surfaced, the former Cowboys said either the former Cleveland Brown or Washington Redskin could be in Dallas.

Here's what Aikman said of Griffin in 2014.

"I'm a fan of RGIII," Jones said to NFL AM. "Right on this field two years ago, or maybe it was three seasons ago, he put on a show and had a game that just floored me. And they won, and they won in large part because of his play at quarterback. I thought 'my goodness, and we're going to have to be playing this guy for years and years.' And so he's got it. Once you see a player do it, especially if you see him do it two or three times, you know he can do it. And of course he's a driven young man."

Jerry Jones has gushed over RGIII before

When you get down to it, Jerry Jones will likely have a final say in whether Griffin comes to Dallas or not. The following comes from a Brandon George story from earlier this year.

Well, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' love affair with Griffin didn't quite peak during the draft process like it did with Manziel. It took a bit longer.

Jones gushed about Griffin during his rookie season in 2012, when the former Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor came to Cowboys Stadium and led the Redskins to a 38-31 win on Thanksgiving. Griffin threw four first-half touchdowns and finished with 304 passing yards.

"I was in awe of RGIII and the plays he was making," Jones said after the game.

Two years ago, Jones continued to praise Griffin even as he began his fall from grace with the Redskins.

"Well, I'm a fan of RGIII," Jones said. "He's got it. He's a driven young man. I'm a big admire of RGIII."

Would Griffin mind being Tony Romo's backup?

Special contributor Newy Scruggs recently said that he's not sure if RGIII would be down to back up Tony Romo.

"If I'm RG3, I don't want to be a backup QB to Tony Romo," Scruggs said. "I'm trying to get a shot to win a starting job. I'm calling the Rams, Eagles and 49ers."

But would RGIII fit in with Dallas?

That's one question that ESPN's Ed Werder questioned after talking to people in the Cowboys' organization.

"Not a lot of people in Dallas think he's a great fit in Jason Garrett's offense, and I'm told that Scott Linehan, the offensive coordinator, is really not a fan of RGIII's and doesn't think he would excel with what the Cowboys would ask him to do," he said.

Could he benefit from learning from Romo?

ESPN's Mike Sando said that out of five likely destinations for Griffin, Dallas was the second most logical behind the Buffalo Bills.

"The assumption here is that Dallas will not want to use the fourth overall choice in the 2016 draft on a quarterback. Griffin could come cheap and without risk. The Cowboys would be adding a young insurance policy for Tony Romo without undermining him. Griffin would have a reasonable chance to play in 2016, given Romo's combination of age and recent injuries, but he would come to Dallas without starting expectations. If all went well, Griffin could get both time to assimilate and opportunities to play in an offense featuring talented linemen and receiving weapons."

Griffin's character would be a plus

NFL Network's Brian Baldinger said adding Griffin would be a plus because he's a character guy.

"I did a lot of his games at Baylor when he was the Heisman Trophy winner. I know the game is important to him; I know he's a very smart. I know he could take the coaching. I think that what has happened in Washington is unfortunate. But I think that he's been humbled to a degree, which is good. He's gonna come out firing now, man. He's gonna get a second chance in this league and he should. I would take RG3 because the character is much better and the demons aren't there like they are with other guys."

Should Dallas roll the dice on him?

ESPN's Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic debated on whether or not Dallas should take a risk and acquire RGIII. Below is part of their on-air conversation.

Greenberg: No, nothing could be worse than what went on with their backups this year. The young guy that they seem to have in mind, we all know, is Manziel. The young guy that I have in mind in Griffin. I would roll the dice on RGIII if he's interested. He's from Baylor -- he went to Baylor -- so it's right there, you know, sort of a little local thing. He wouldn't be expected to come in and play a whole lot. I know they're a high-profile team, but I don't think he would get that much attention if he's not playing and Romo is, and (he could) learn from a veteran group and a veteran quarterback with the idea that maybe, in two years or so, he can see if he's ready to do it. I think that's a roll of the dice I might consider if I'm them. What do you think?

Golic: Of those two, I would take RGIII.

Daryl Johnston isn't convinced Dallas could get RGIII

The former Dallas Cowboy said he wasn't sure if Dallas could convince Griffin to sit on the bench with Romo being the starter.

"Robert Griffin III -- I would take a long, hard look at him. I think he has grown up. I have had the opportunity to do a ton of Redskins games this year and I spoke to Robert pregame every week, and all he wants is a fresh start and an opportunity to show. I don't know if this is where he wants to be. He wants to go out and show people he is a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL. I don't know if you're going to be able to convince him to sit behind Tony for -- Jerry keeps making the comment -- three-to-five years, he feels Tony has good football left in him. I don't know if you can convince Robert to sit behind Tony for three to five years and be a serviceable backup. I don't know if you can convince him to come here."

Jerry can do whatever he wants

The following is from Mark Maske of The Washington Post.

"Romo turns 36 next month and has been plagued by a variety of injuries. Still, owner Jerry Jones has said he envisions Romo being the Cowboys' quarterback for the next four to five years. Dallas has the No. 4 choice in the draft, and that pick might be better used to bolster the quality of the team around Romo than to have a better backup and more promising eventual successor in place. Signing Manziel once seemed possible but the Cowboys and everyone else in the league might steer clear at this point. Jones has long been an admirer of Griffin's game and, despite the reports that Griffin doesn't fit the offense and the Cowboys aren't interested, that possibility shouldn't be totally discounted as long as Jones has the GM title by his name."
