In the end it's going to be about the gamers staying healthy anyway. Romo, Lee, Scandrick, Dez, Hardy...
Other than Romo I think they could conceivably weather the loss of those other guys and still be competitive. Tyron maybe, or possibly even Dez. I don't think they have a credible backup QB. Or at least I haven't seen any reason to think they do.
As far as Vaughan, one thing at a time with him. His next step is showing some offseason improvement, then being good enough to stay on the 53 while developing.
For some perspective basically all of the good undrafted QBs in the modern era have few if not zero NFL snaps in their first 3 years of pro ball (they sit like Romo did or played in some other league a few seasons). So even if they were to defy the odds with Vaughan history strongly suggests it won't be this year or even 2016. The only thing in his corner is that Weeden is pretty bad, and the #2 in Dallas figures to get a ton of reps.
