So who told Jerry, that Johnson could still play? Could that be ...... RJ?( A lousy QB himself, which certainly qualified to him to see Johnson's shortcomings. Except he didn't. That's a bad, bad sign for future growth potential in RJ)
And then let's see, who tried to slip Matt Moore through waivers when he played well in preseason, and showed good potential to at least be a quality back up. (Moore was not selected in the 2007 NFL Draft, but was signed as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys. Despite completing 21 of 29 passes for 182 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions to generate a 100.1 quarterback rating during the preseason for the Cowboys, Moore was waived on September 1, the Cowboys intending to sign him to their practice squad had he passed through waiver) Could it be? Was that ... RJ? So we give up Moore, and keep who again?
Oh yeah, Brad Johnson. (Preseason stats 2007)
2007 (Dallas Cowboys 7 11 0.7 63.6 79 4.9 7.2 0 0 1 85.0
2008 Dallas Cowboys 41 78 26.0 52.6 427 142.3 5.5 2 5 8 50.5
So, I wouldn't trust RJ to coach Mr. Potato Head at this point. He shows poor judgment, an inability to keep players in line, an inability to make in game adjustments, inability to make use of all his players, and gets far more kudos than he deserves. In short, RJ is overrated, overvalued, and honestly, I'd like to see him take a long walk off a short pier than be given another year to 'grow.'
As much as I dog on Phillips, at least Phillips has an excellent resume as a DC. And yeah, I imagine Phillips signed off on RJ's recommendations. But what is that saying? Exactly. We're in trouble this year.
How much more talent will we lose over the next year with this incompetent coaching staff?
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
And as far as getting a new back up for Romo? Well, we're royally Home Depoted. Either draft one, or trade for one. And no more QB's on their last legs. Hasn't Brad Johnson taught us anything?
