A hot plate of crow, amongst these Romo developments

[FiveRings]

Set the scene. It's the preseason, cuts are about to begin, and final rosters soon to be made. And posters, by the bushel, motion for us to cut Orton and roll with Alex Tanney. Now I ask you, would you be comfortable rolling into Philly with a rookie QB, who never played a regular season game in his career?

Didn't think so, Orton, on the other hand, is better than a lot of starters in the NFL, and I'm completely happy going into Philly with him. Ah yes, the importance of a backup quarterback

 

[CyberB0b]

Orton is better than about 3-4 starters in the league.

 

[links18]

Would you rather roll with Orton or Vince Young?

 

[RoboQB]

Would it be fair to say that Orton is basically equal to Ryan Fitzpatrick (Titans) and Jason Campbell (Browns)?

In my opinion Orton is better than the following current starting QBs:

Kellen Clemens, Rams
Mike Glennon, TB
Matt Cassel, Minn.
Matt Flynn, GB
Matt McGloin, Oak
Any Buffalo QB not named EJ....maybe he's better than EJ.

Cholera or dysentery? Either way you are going to @#&&* your guts out.


Though honestly, Orton is much better than Young...

 

[CowboyFan4Eva]

Yeah. But he hasn't played in awhile.......

I am worried about how is he going to adjust to being out there again....sometimes it takes awhile to get in the groove......for example.....Foles....

I dunno......it's going to be........interesting,,,

At this point I would also take Orton over Eli Manning and Matthew Stafford, the interception kings of football, too.

We won't be "rolling into philly". Game will be played in Dallas.

You are forgetting Jax too

I think Jason Campbell is better than Kyle Orton.

He's better than everyone else you listed except maybe EJ. EJ's still wet behind the ears.

 

[Galian Beast]

Even if Romo played this season is over... I can't believe these fans that really think this defense is going to beat consecutive playoff caliber teams...

 

[RoboQB]

Right, Jax is easy to forget...

Almost all of those guys are backups who are playing due to injuries.

 

[RoboQB]

They "were" backups..... Now they are starters (who are starting due to injury...;-)....)
Of course, Orton is better than all the injured starters... because they are injured and not playing.
Just havin' some fun....roll with it.

After watching Philly Sunday night, the Cowboys could use Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, and I'd still fret over the Cowboys' chances

You answered your own question. Maybe, Alex Tanney has the best rookie coming-out performance in the history of all NFL QBs. ? Maybe he and the team ride a wave of hotness sparked by the need to rally under a rookie quarterback, who won the hearts and minds of the lockerroom, and go all the way. ? Maybe Kyle Orton no longer is a starter for a reason
Maybe this team will be up 53-6 at halftime, and find a way to lose... so all will right be right in the world again, and we can go back to praising Romo's awesomeness all offseason, as necessary.

 

[Risen Star]

That's great.

We have no shot to contend in the playoffs with or without Romo. So I honestly don't care who our backup QB is right now.

Lol if we are up 53-6 at the half, we ain't passing it in the second half.
