So let me get this straight. Most of us aren't thrilled that Brad Johnson is Romo's backup cause of his age and poor arm strength. So, we want to draft Booty or Ainge (or somebody else like them) in the mid rounds so that in 2009 one of them can be the backup to Romo. Are you guys serious? You think so little of Romo's play (Romo turns 28 in April) that he can easily be replaced by a QB one year removed from college. Geez, why don't we get rid of Romo now and save all that money. Of course we will stink for the next few years but heck...no problem.
As for Romo's celebrity status which some don't like. You better go back and take another look at Cowboy history. Romo is one of many Cowboy celebrity QBs going back as far as Meredith, through Aikman and now Romo. Being a celebrity QB comes with the territory of being the franchise starting QB for the Cowboys -- assuming you are single. I guess we can prevent that by ensuring we only draft married QBs to replace Romo.
Personally, I DO want to see us start developing a back-up to Romo.
The sooner the better, IMO.
How many more years do you think B Johnson lasts? The guys going to be 40 this year. It's time we start thinking ahead. Now, whether the guy we draft this year can be the number 2 next year we'll have to see. I'm sure there will be competition. But the longer we prolong the process, the more we'll have to pay in FA. IMO, we should start the process asap.
As for the celebrity status, I could care less however.
