Every offseason priority... Failed

[NorthwestDallas40]

stephen said backup QB was an offseason priority. Did nothing other than Dak and cannot even sign Foles. Now will have to waste a draft pick. Because this team does not believe in being proactive, but waiting until there is a crisis and the league knows we have to pay through the nose. Same can be said for DL and DB. We simply have done very little to address depth at our weekest positions. And then spend 2nd round picks on redshirt players. SMH

Yup, once again, this has been a pretty frustrating off-season. I'm definitely happy with the Elliott pick though.

You'd still be unhappy with their choice if Moore hadn't gotten injured.

So if the team went out and signed a FA QB or drafted a QB high, and they broke their leg, wouldnt we be in the same situation as we are now?

The doom and gloom on this site right now

If those issues would have been addressed, what would be the next thing whined about............
I do understand what you are saying...but just had to say that...

• Jaylon Smith - LB - Notre Dame

• Maliek Collins - DT - Nebraska

• Charles Tapper - DE - Oklahoma

• Dak Prescott - QB - Mississippi State

• Anthony Brown - CB - Purdue

• Kevin Frazier - S - Central Michigan

• Mayowa - DE

• Irving - DT/DE

Would have liked to see them do more in FA, but their recent personell moves don't indicate that they're ignoring the positions of need. Running back was a position of need as well and they addressed the hell out of that.

You can take the off off of the title

As disappointing as it is I still can't count backup qb as a priority. The backup qb position is like life insurance. You hope you never need it.

 

[Longboysfan]

So the Cowboys are snake bit at the QB position.

Yes. While I like Moore as a 3rd, I thought we could have and should have done better at backup

Except for last year and the year before and the year before that...

No, we would have had Moore to fall back on

laughingstock of the league. pretty sad

So your answer is to not buy it?

"Other than Dak" and Dak could be the guy, so....not understanding the issue?

I also heard the word "special" from Nate Newton when describing Tapper with Stephen Jones yesterday. Let's wait and see at least 1 or two preseason games before we go jumping off a cliff...

You can hope you never need life insurance all you want. Fact is, it's 100% guaranteed that you will need it.

I would agree with you except for the fact that my faith in ROMO actually finishing out a season any more is somewhat wavering...Granted not at the top of the my list of off-season things to do but considering your backup won 1 game last year and your other one hasnt played a game yet.

I wasn't talking about not buying it.
It doesn't do you any good now does it?

 

[basstapp]

Did anyone actually watch Foles last year? Completed 56% of his passes and threw 7 TDs & 10 Interceptions... He also had a great defense and one of the best runningbacks in the league. Why did we want him?

How about just sticking to the facts. Can you argue with anything the guy pointed out? Or do you just turn a blind eye to it?
