Day 4 training camp

[JDSmith]

I have fractured my ankles at least 5 times between the two. Never had to be in a cast more than 4 weeks for any of them, but wouldn't be able to play football for at least a couple weeks after that and it takes a long time before you are 100%. Less of an issue for a QB but still puts us in a precarious position. There are some options out there, none great. I think we will see what the young guys look like for a week or two, see what the prognosis is on Moore but we almost have to add a camp arm at this point with Romo doing his 2 on and 2 off.

I was hit by a car when I was 15, broke both of my ankles in two places each. I was in casts for 8 weeks, 6 weeks with full casts to mid thigh, then 2 more weeks with casts below the knees.

Will be interesting to see whether they elevate Showers and stay the course with developing Prescott. Broaddus and several others say that Showers has been the best QB not named Romo.

In regard to Romo, it seems like he is airing the ball out a lot more and with ease. Arm looks live.

He got a lot of rest last year.

Foles, Yates, Flynn or Vick? JFF?

I don't think Moore's injury is anywhere near what yours was.

I hope not, that really sucked.

Latest tweet says broken fibula.... non weight bearing bone. So the better of the possibilities.

If Moore will miss only 1-2 regular season games, I believe they stay the course. Maybe they sign a guy just to soak up some backup reps.

Oh God no Geno Smith

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

The question is whether the Jets liked the fact that Geno got ticked about them resigning Fitzpatrick. Not sure Hackenberg or Petty would be an answer worth looking into.

If that's all it is it's not really a big deal at all. But now I really want to know how it happened.

 

[Biggems]

Can we call him Kellen Less yet?

Bring on Nick Foles....I feel Linehan can make a very good backup out of him

I bet. The first time I did it was over Christmas break when I was 19, came home from college. Was playing a game of football with brothers and friends and went up for a catch, brother hit me just as I landed and broke my left ankle. Got the cast off about 4 weeks later, started playing intramural basketball the next week and in a game I came down on other ankle awkwardly while trying to overcompensate and broke the right one. Needless to say, Mom and Pop weren't real excited about that.

I just don't see Butler being better than Williams. I think Williams is under-rated as our number 2 WR and he's clearly better than Butler.

Williams and Romo specifically. They have some sort telepathy going at times.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Yeah, from what I heard he got rolled up on. It's a catch 22. You want physical practice, yet you don't want guys taking big shots.

 

[DFWJC]

If Moore will miss only 1-2 regular season games, I believe they stay the course. Maybe they sign a guy just to soak up some backup reps.

This may be true

PFT already speculating

Cowboys backup quarterback Kellen Moorewas carted off the practice field Tuesday, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed that Moore suffered a broken right ankle.

Jones did not address how the team would handle the absence of Moore going forward, but the injury will invite speculation that the Cowboys will pursue free agent quarterbackNick Foles.

Last week, Jones said the Cowboys would not be pursuing Foles.

Is speculating like throwing **** against the wall to see what sticks?

Jerry said in the opening presser no to Foles and seemed very unimpressed by him. I want Dak and Showers to be the other guys if Romo goes down seasons done anyway
