Bryan Broaddus

If I had to choose between Brian, Vela, and Sturm, the odd man out leads the list. There are plenty of sources for Cowboys opinions, and a former scout, in this case, isn't the person I'm particularly enamored with.

The former scout would be the one with the most informed opinion from his experience.

I'll take his word over a blogger.

And yet I get tons more relevant information from Bob Sturm, and much better writing from Vela.

Neither Sturm nor Vela have said anything as patently stupid as Romo isn't a franchise QB.

He was right about Wade, but also wrong on Free as he joined in on the chorus that said Free was going to be our downfall. This was at about the same time that the less informed bloggers were commenting on Free's ability and technique while mentioning Columbo wasn't looking as good as hoped, IIRC.

When Colombo was sucking it up in pre-season and everyone said "its just pre-season who cares" Broaddus was on the twitter wondering if RT was going to be a problem

Vela may write better but i don't think its really an even playing field for comparison, as he can't possibly give some information that a former scout can provide.

Unless you've read something I haven't, Broadduss has been nothing but complimentary of Free and that started back from last season and before this season even started at Free's new position.

He was also very critical of Leonerd Davis prior to the start of this season, he noted that Davis was seriously struggling last year, a notion that I thought was completely bogus. Then, low-and-behold, Davis was exposed for everything Broaddus mentioned in detail in the Titans game.

no, that does not mean he knows more than anyone in this forum. I know that believe like to believe that is so but it is not a fact.

Perhaps I'm getting my timeline off then. I do recall him mentioning that he was wrong about Free early in the season or in preseason.

Franchise QB is a term defined differently by different folks. If Broaddus contends only three qualify by his definition (Brady, Brees, Peyton) then I certainly wouldn't get all up in arms.

Tony is definitiely top 10. Top 5 in the eyes of some. But its hardly an open & shut case. Depends on how you define "franchise QB."

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I don't understand the ripping of Broaddus.

Just because he was a pro-scout at one time?

Just because he does seem to be read by a lot of folks?

Just because he has an opinion?

I think some are jeolous because they have the opinions but don't have the background nor are they read beyond the confines of this forum.

 

[burmafrd]

Had some PMs from him. A little touchy but then getting slammed by dolts might do that to some people. HE knows the process and how its done; question with anyone with insider INFO is how good are his sources and how much of what he says is his own input vs the sources. He along with SDOGO here and Vela and Sturm are the guys I pay most attention to. BY the way if his definition of franchise QB is that tight,OK. Interesting that he did not put the Rapist in that list, or Rivers, who just about everyone else would say were Franchize QBs

 

[Beast_from_East]

Its one thing.. you've been beating it like a dead horse.

How accurate has he been about his other statements and predictions?

That "one thing" happens to be the most important position in football. So if he cant get that right, I have zero confidence that he can get the rest right.

 

[Arch Stanton]

I've always enjoyed listening and reading Bryan Broaddus. I really don't understand why he is being ripped. Hopefully he will continue to post here.

Me either.

He may have pissed some people off when he said we were going to cut their pet cats and we did. So from what I've read he's right more times than he's wrong.

 

[Apollo Creed]

He was right about Jason Williams, but the writing was on the wall there.

Completely wrong about going with a proven winner and Romo not being a franchise QB.

It's not that I think he's horrible, just considering his scouting background and how much access he has - I expected distinguishably better insight than your run of the mill Dallas journalist.

And considering Dallas media has become increasingly predictable and boring as of late, I was expecting something more refreshing.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Just like everyone that has opinions. Some are right, some are wrong.

Sometimes I agree with him, Sometimes I don't.

Par for the course I guess.

 

[dbair1967]

Some pretty harsh opinions of him here.

I dont see anything wrong with people that dont agree with him, hell I dont agree with some of what he says either.

But I do like the fact that someone that was employed at that level actually participated here. I'd hate to think he was run off and wouldnt come back.

Well that because we got plenty of INternet experts here who fancy themselves as experts of everything. And very few select idiots who are quick to judge and but don't have a clue half the time.

But also its valid opinion that Bryan saying Romo is not a franchise QB is foolish opinion. At the same time though, the problem is, Franchise QB has different definitions. Some think, Franchise QB means, the Gold Standard of Peyton Manning, Brady or Brees. Some, Very good QB like Rivers/Rodgers/Romo/Ben etc. Some, its just to be unquestioned starter for the team.

It is what it is, just an opinion. Personally when I think of the term "franchise QB" I immediately think of people like Elway, Aikman, Payton Manning etc etc. people that coming out of college had the entire package/skill set and are obvious franchise altering players. Andrew Luck IMO is/will be a franchise QB IMO. There are probably few people I'd bestow the term "franchise" QB on, by my definition.

Doesnt mean I dont think Romo is not an exceptional QB, because he is an exceptional QB. And you can win and win alot with exceptional QB's. I dont know what Broaddus said exactly so I would be commenting blind, but perhaps he was using the same or similar logic as I would. I dont know that he said he didnt think Romo wasnt a good or excellent player.

That's my spin on it as well.

I didn't think it was a panty-twistable offense.
