A Serious Pondering of QB Depth-NOT Garcia

[LittleBoyBlue]

Jason Garrett = player/coach

 

[arglebargle]

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

Unless things have changed, Wright left with some hard feelings between him and JJ. Though it looks like Wright was right. Somebody'd have to eat some crow for this to happen, I think.

I expect an old one or two game reliever to be brought in, someone like Brad Johnson. The market may spend itself out early, and their may be mid range prospects left out in the cold.

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.

Wrong again! Check the date, that was the Jet's final cutdown for 2004. Ray was re-signed to the practice squad and spent the entire year with the Jets dressing for 6 games. He was in mini-camp with them in early '05 before asking to be released. My facts are correct, you are WRONG. Ray was with the Jets months after Carter took off to do his drugs. Look it up. Facts are facts.

Was has Wright ever done? No thanks.

And the fact is that Ray was dumped when the Jets acquired Carter. I didn't write the article, I merely presented it to those who don't know better.

On the practice squad?!?!?!

Yeah, forget what reality says and continue looking foolish. The fact is that Ray couldn't even make the team that Carter did!

He "dressed for 6 games?

What an accomplishment!

You're right, we should sign him up right away, since he actually "dressed"...

He's a two-time loser who couldn't cut it with two teams.

Before you attack a better idea, come up with one good one yourself.....

let's hope time heals all wounds then

So how about Aaron Brooks who just got cut by the Raiders? He has a big-time arm, can throw a pretty deep ball, and can scramble out of trouble. I know he had a horrible year last year, but that was because OAK's main RB Lamont Jordan went down right when Brooks was coming back from injury, and Brooks was operating behind one of the worst OL's in NFL history.

Brooks was just cut.



****I guess I am a little slow on the post.

Yawn.

Waste of time.

Just like this stupid crusade.

You try (in vain) to bash choices like Rattay and try to take shots at Carter when the facts are that both made teams that 'your hero' couldn't.

Ricky Ray is a good CFL quarterback and that's as far as it goes.


:fact:

We shall see.

We shall see.

We've already "seen" it - twice.

Philo beddoe.... didn't you say you went to Washington and Lee? You don't act like it.

Try reading slower....

And you know, it is okay to be obsessed with a player, but not everyone will share your interest.

One day you shall see the light. I promise.

 

[Stash]

One day you shall see the light. I promise.

When Ricky Ray makes it to the NFL, tell me all about it. Until then, shut up about it.

 

[philo beddoe]

Philo beddoe.... didn't you say you went to Washington and Lee? You don't act like it.

I did indeed, sir. Are you familiar with the place? Are you also a grad? How is a W&L grad supposed to "act"? Seriously, what's your connection?

 

[cobra]

Yeah. I graduated from there in '01. You don't act like a W&L man.

 

[philo beddoe]

Yeah. I graduated from there in '01. You don't act like a W&L man.

Oh, you're a recent grad from the co-ed egghead days. I was there a good while before you, the women and all the rules. I was a good frat boy, the element they're been trying to weed out for years. I never missed a party due to studying, I'm very proud of that. It's like we went to two different schools. I don't think you really know the REAL W&L, which ended for good around 1981 or so. I was there for the classic glory years. Lexington is still a great place, I go to most reunions. I'm sure you're very well educated, like myself.

 

[philo beddoe]

The term used to be "W&L gentleman", which I certainly am.
