I want to see the look on Tony's face when he gets wind of this.

QB Tony Romo has played 4 "Win or Go Home" games since 2008 (includes 2 playoff gms) -- in 3 of them, his QBR was less than 20"

I defended jj until the end of the 2011 season. I had to stop because the more I did the dumber I looked. This is a perfect example of why I did. You just can't defend this although I'm sure some will try

Surely this man sees the need for better players on the O line? Don't tell me when the draft gets here Jerry is going to go after the flashy player and neglect areas of need. Don't tell me that. If I were to bet, Jerry is going to go after the best safety in the draft and even move up to get him, while the Oline suffers. He will address the O line in the later rounds. All we can hope for is we get a hidden gem in the later rounds....
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Al Davis: Part Deux
1. Brandon Magee will beat out Ernie Sims for the backup WILL/MO roster spot.

2. Ron Leary will start at right guard over Bernadeau.

3. Joseph Randle, Terrance Williams and Gavin Escobar will have more combined TD's than DeMarco Murray, Miles Austin and Jason Witten.

4. Bruce Carter makes the Pro Bowl.

5. The starting OL will be Smith-Livings-Frederick-Leary-Free

That's infuriating.

They are wasting (or have wasted) Romo, Ware, and Witten's best years.

You watch, after Romo is finally beaten so badly he is no longer effective, then they'll get a decent line...and the next guy in line will get to enjoy it.

Jerry is totally chasing his tail on this one.

This HAS to be a smokescreen. He cannot possoibly be this dense. Or can he?

Is the full quote of what he said about the OL somewhere? This sounds out of context. (I hope)

"Jones reasons that the Cowboys can get by with lesser talent along the offensive line because of Romo's expert mobility. When forced to choose, the team will invest more resources in wide receivers and tight ends.

Even if this were true,

A) Why force your QB to be constantly running for his life when more of his awareness should be focused on who is open and throwing lanes?
B) Romo isn't 28 years old anymore. He will slow down and/or get hurt and then we're screwed.
C) The positions that are in good shape depth-wise are CB, WR and TE.
D) Aren't you forgetting the running game, O Learned Sage?

Just what the hell is wrong with JJ?

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

Yup. I think we almost have to go DL in the 1st now. I thought we were probably going to do that anyway though.
