A Serious Pondering of QB Depth-NOT Garcia

[Aikbach]

What are you talking about? I was talking about the coaching Harrington has received - not Romo.

Except for Garrett of course, i hope you feel differently of Garrett.

Don't turn this into ridiculous ideas 101, the perpetrators of such ideas know who they are.

In all honesty what veteran quarterback stands a realistic chance of coming into the Cowoby fold for 2007?

It seems a forgone conclusion that Bledsoe will bow out either by retirement or waiver wire and the goofy talk of Jeff Garcia was a nonsensical rambling by trolls earlier on.

Who fits the Dallas system that can come off the bench in a pinch?

I am stumped for a credible name at this time.

Credible name for next year: CFL All-Star QB Ricky Ray of the Edmonton Eskimos. This year, I don't know. I'm betting Tommy Maddox will be on the team.

Kelly Holcomb?

In a word: Yuck.

 

[philo beddoe]

Anthony Wright makes the most sense, former ties to the Cowboys, starting experience, and if the Bengals would have him as a backup to Palmer, no reason we shouldn't have him as Romo's backup

Wright is awful.

Tim Couch is retired and is still recovering from surgery and has not thrown a pass in the NFL for 4 years. Even healthly, I wouldnt want him. He has not done nothing in the NFL. We don't know what Romo we are going to see next year and need someone who can compete with Romo and be successful if they had to play. Somehow we need to try to get Plummer, Huard, Green, or rework Bledsoe's contract.

I'd check out Tim Couch. Hopefully he's recovered. If so, perfect backup.

sorry guys, but none of those choices are very encouraging. might as well bring back clint stoerner - at least he is still playing on a regular basis, even if it is in the AFL. seems to be a pretty slim market, and surely the Cowboys will not draft a QB either. i am starting to think it might not be a bad idea to sweet talk drew bledsoe!!!

Clint Dolezel???? Why not?

 

[philo beddoe]

I've heard SD is really high on Charlie Whitehurst and that he could have a legitimate shot at the backup QB spot. If he beats out Volek, what about sending a mid-round pick to SD for Volek?

I'd rather get Whitehurst to Dallas, than Volek who is flawed.

umm, ok. So who was Harrington's QB coach last year?

 

[DasTex]

David Carr - 4th round pick

Credible name for next year: CFL All-Star QB Ricky Ray of the Edmonton Eskimos. This year, I don't know. I'm betting Tommy Maddox will be on the team.

NO...why does his name come up every year.
I was in Canada for 6 months on work assignment, and watched him play....he is not an NFL QB. With all the teams needing depth at QB, someone would have offered him a chance.
Quincy Carter looked better.....

Ray is UNDER CONTRACT until 2008.

QC looked better at what, doing bong hits?

Just a heads-up Philo, this is exactly how you get yourself in trouble and start arguments around here.

Give it up with the Ricky Ray nonsense already, all you do is tick people off.

I know QC sucked, but 17 TDs is quadruple the amount Ricky Ray has ever thrown

And keep in mind that the Jets had both and decided to keep Carter and cut Ricky Ray - tells you all you need to know.

Why would a good idea tick people off, friend?

ouch

all I need to know really is that Ricky is back in the CFL

Sigh. Once again, get it correct. Ray lasted longer with the Jets than Carter did. Ray went to mini-camp with the Jets in 2005, he then requested and was reluctantly granted his release. Carter quit on the team to do drugs during the playoffs in 2004 and was never seen by the Jets again. Ray returned to the CFL signing the league's richest contract. All 100 percent true. Know your facts going forward. Sheesh.

You make it too easy.....

Jets release eight to get to NFL limit

NFL.com wire reports



HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (Sept. 5, 2004) -- The New York Jets released eight players, including veterans Alan Harper, Matt Walters, Andrew Davison, Dave Yovanovits and Omare Lowe, to get down to the 53-man roster limit.
Also cut were quarterback Ricky Ray, fullback Derrick Ward and wide receiver Terrence Stubbs.
Harper, a defensive tackle who was a fourth-round draft pick in 2002, barely played in his two pro seasons. He also saw some action in NFL Europe, but lost out to more veteran players on the final cutdown day.
Walters, also a defensive tackle, was drafted in the fifth round last year. He played in 11 games for New York in 2003.
Lowe, a three-year NFL veteran originally drafted by Miami in the fifth round in 2002, signed with the Jets last October and played in three games on special teams. The safety returned a fumble for a touchdown in a preseason victory against the Giants.
The Jets signed Davison, a cornerback, two weeks ago after Dallas cut him. He also was with the Jets in 2002.
Yovanovits, a guard, was a seventh-round selection in 2003, and was inactive for all 16 games last season.

Ray led the Edmonton Eskimos to the Canadian Football League championship in 2003. He became expendable when the Jets acquired Quincy Carter from Dallas to be a backup to Chad Pennington.




There ended the lesson.

Carr can be had for a third to fourth round pick and may even become a free agent if his contract is not palatable.
