As usual, Jerry's public statements regarding the depth chart of the team emasculates the coaching staff.
I can see why both the Jimster and, to a certain extent Parcells tuned Jerry out.

There should be a second "waive" of free agent qbs at some point.


I'm ready for more FA options to become available.


I still fill like we need another WR option. Someone above average like a Boldin.

More DL. Could always use more.

A backup QB and a corner. I wouldn't mind another TE if Swaim or Gathers doesn't step up.

Moore can be the backup in games as long as they focus on getting Dak the reps he needs to actually improve his craft, he's kinda a long shot with some good intangibles so he needs all the snaps he can get.

Because Moore can't make a play and our offensive scheme requires that the QB position makes plays outside of the system.


If Romo gets injured during a game and we need to protect a lead i'd go with Moore.

If we start a game without Romo i'd go with Prescott just because he can buy time and extend plays.

If Romo gets injured the season is over. I'd rather tank the season than start Dak, who has bad mechanics and is no where near ready to start, throwing him into the fire ruining his potential like so many other franchises do around the league.

Like they did with Romo last year. Lost a little faith in our med staff after that.

The medical staff fully discussed risks, especially with another compression injury to the left shoulder.

Management felt that the potential benefits outweighed the risks, and that we could keep Tony upright.

It didn't work out.

If Zeke had been blocking, might have been a different story.

I don't remember when or why, but I do remember actually being kinda impressed by Swaim at some point last season/preseason. Like, not on the level of "Wow this guy should start" but just that I thought he was going to be garbage and turned out he looked like he could actually contribute in some way if he continued to develop. I was actually looking forward to seeing what he brought to the table this preseason to see if that continued. I would love to get another WR and a better backup QB in here though, that's for sure.

Oh I agree... I'm talking about a scenario like 2014 when Romo had to miss a week or 2.

If Romo is out for 8 or 9 weeks then i'm all about tanking and enjoying acquiring top talent in the draft again.


I just don't want to be in the middle. Be one of the best or one of the worst.

I a interview yesterday Stephan says that he is comfortable playing with the players they have this season if they have chance they will improve the roster. I sure hope it works on smith we sure have wasted lots of second round picks so far that haven't given us much.

It's just another year of the same ole same ole.

We just gotta get back to the playoffs and hope that our neglection of real talent on defense doesn't bite us in January.


If Romo & Dez are healthy than we should be a pretty good team and capable of winning the NFC with the ball control formula.

I just always worry about our defensive talent and our offensive coaches being incredibly predictable.

A rookie is not going to be just handed the backup job.
So of course whichever QB returns will get that spot until (when/if) he's beaten out.

I think this is pretty big news considerin every media outlet had him on ir for the year and out. Even if he plays few games it's a big deal

It only becomes "big news" when Smith actually plays. Keeping folks hope up that he will play is only a ploy to sell tickets.

It may be a little early of any talk about tanking for a high pick.
