Jerry Jones: I'm Planning On Romo Being The QB For 4-5 More Years

[waving monkey]

INDIANAPOLIS – Don’t ask Jerry Jones how he’s going to spend his No. 4 overall draft pick, because the Cowboys’ owner and general manager doesn’t know.

That’s to be expected, considering the Cowboys are just finishing their stint at the 2016 NFL Combine and still have two months to come to a decision.

Talking to him on Saturday afternoon, though, it was easy to feel skeptical that Jones feels the need to invest a top-5 draft pick in the quarterback position. After all, it would be hard to justify such an investment when Jones said he still sees a long-term future for starting quarterback Tony Romo.

“What is the one unequivocal fact that you can count on, relative to the preparation of this draft and on draft day, is that I’m planning on Romo being the quarterback for the next four or five years,” Jones said. “That’s a fact. You won’t see a decision on draft day that will fly in the face of not believing, from our standpoint, that he’ll be our quarterback for four or five years.”

" from our standpoint, that he’ll be our quarterback for four or five years.”

That is a dream killer statement for me,Oh well.
I know his said it all along but his continuing that
line an JJones tends to say what he thinks.

Well now I'll start to consider other positions.

Not Bosa at 4 thou it fills a need
Jalen is a real possibility
trade down acquire additional pick go back up
get both Sheldon Rankin and Zeek.

It's official; Jerry Jones is insane.

Hello Zeke Elliott. If he truly believes Tony will play forever, the elite back makes the most sense for 2016; he would have the greatest impact next to Tony.

 

[Shinaoi]

Then why was he thinking of drafting manziel that time when romo was in way better condition then?

 

[Rockport]

I've been saying from day 1 we're not taking a QB in the first round. At least not this year when there isn't a sure fire franchise QB available.

 

[Sasquatch]

In other words, fans, prepare yourself for the next Deion.

You may

In other words, fans, prepare yourself for the next Deion.

are you saying that Ramsey is the next Dion? If so I can deal with that.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Romo is going to play until he is 41, per Jerry

The pick is going to be Bosa

Not happy about it, but I would say its virtually a given at this point considering Hardy is gone and Gregory is suspended. We basically got DLAW and a bunch of scrubs.

 

[KB1122]

Stephen said something that was basically the opposite. So we'll see.

 

[visionary]

I think you mean 'the next Mo Claiborne ' because Mo was already 'the next Deion'

I am not saying anything about the players. Just trying to decipher the underlying meaning of the statement.

As for Ramsey, I'd like to see more turnovers, but Sturm certainly thinks highly of him.

There are never surefire franchise QBs available.


However there is usually franchise QB talents and Wentz is as talented as they get.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

I'm putting my hope in the statements that Stephen and Garrett put out in the last few days. I'm almost certain neither of them are reliant on JW Blue to make it through the day. Both Stephen and Garret have said in interviews the past few days that QB at 4 was a possibility. If Stephen stopped him before from doing something stupid in the draft, my hopes are high he will do it again...... I'm praying he does it again.

 

[Silver N Blue]

He should be saying 1 or 2 more years max. That shoulder won't last much longer.

Most disagree that he is a sure fire franchise QB.

I don't believe in surefire franchise QBs.

For every Andrew Luck there is a Sam Bradford that was a surefire franchise QB.

You don't know how they will react once they play.

You say about Jerry what you about all players

"You can't stop jerry, you can only hope to contain him"

 

[Fredd]

I can't stand that having billions of dollars and own America's Team allows you to spew nonsense just to get yourself heard more....there is NO WAY that Tony plays 5 more years...into his 40's??? Jones is amongst the most frustrating owners

Ryan Leaf being the classic case here.........all the physical talent in that could be desired....but:

 

[TheRomoSexual]

When are you people going to realize that Jerry is posturing whenever he speaks? I'll never understand why people put any stock in his words.
