that Henson was not all that much. BP brings us ROMO QB.
4 years in the construction; carefully planned and modified.
Build a QB and see success.

I'm inspired by Romo's play. But he has the remainder of the season to audition for the starting role.

It also doesn't mean we continue to ignore the QB position. There's nothing wrong with drafting a high round QB. Better than using a 1st rounder on a LB who can't get on the field or on 2nd rounder OLmen who can't play with pain.

I see the difference a good QB can make. But the team has to play better.

Yes there is when the team needs OL, FS, CB, and another pass rusher.

Well, I think it depends on ultimately how good Romo finishes this season.

If the guy maintains a 65-percent completion rate, a 90-plus QB rating and throws more TDs than interceptions....is it really necessary? On the other hand, if his stats plunge from here on out and he's a mid-70s rated guy with essentially an equal TD-INT ratio, yeah, I think the need for a "better prospect" would be there.

Pretty much agree. If he can keep his rating at 80+, and at least a 3-2 TD/INT rate, we do not draft a QB. Watching how he plays the next 8 games will pretty much decide his fate. If he can keep it up, no way do we go elsewhere.

Right. As for drafting LBs: You always draft to your strength. Just look at the Giants and who they have backing up Straybutt and Yogi Manura.

If Tom Brady and Drew Brees can have 4 INT's games at this stage of their careers don't freak out if Romo has one soon. It's not a matter of if it's a matter of when.

What I do like about Romo is he has a knack of making plays that cannot be schemed. You can take certain throws away with schemes but what's making him good right now is that he's making plays with his legs to allow him to throw the ball down field to convert with his quick release. You can't scheme that but sometimes that will lead to INT's like in the Giants game. I think he's a keeper.

Our lone bright spot for the year so far.

No matter what I want us to draft a QB this year...Romo's play will determine how high.

I think Romo is going to be the guy for us...I do/I hope anyways, but even then I'd like to consider a QB somwhere between the 3-6 rounds to develop. We have had such a drought on a QB I'd love to error on the side of having two good options.

:hammer:


We HAVE to draft a QB next year. I'm hoping we do so around the 4th/5th round.


And we also have to bring in a veteran QB to backup Romo.

I agree with this as well...Trent Dilfer is a guy I've had in mind for three years now...

I don't think he's an option though...not sure his contract details.
