News: Jerry Jones' QB plan starts with 4-5 year plan for Tony Romo

This idea bothers me. Prescott is a shined up version of Showers as far as I am concerned. Pairing him with Wade Wilson? Bad things. Wasting a 3rd on him, even worse.

Well, I can agree. That's what comes from having poop for QB coaches. Anyone you select will languish and Romo
is all you really have. I'm for selecting players who can play this year especially on defense. If we do select a QB in the
draft, at least in round 3-4 won't kill us long term.
 
Maybe not but, defense is what Jerry said we need most. I think we are going defense in FA and the draft early and often in
hopes of being able to compete if (IF) Romo stays healthy this season. If Romo goes down it's over anyway.

So someone challenges the entire basis of drafting a defensive player at #4 overall - your entire argument - and all you can say in response is "maybe not but"?

Heckuva case you're making.

:rolleyes:

Now...Now. I'm just posing a viewpoint not making a case. I trying to give the zone a humble opinion that is
no better than anyone else's. I try to use valid points of view from respected scouts and draft sites that explain
why the Cowboys usually do certain things. I hear the view often hear that the only move at #4 is taking a QB and
any old QB whether he's ready to backup Romo in a game or not. Also, what makes you think that any of these QB's
would be a worthy backup given the QB coaching we have in Dallas. I saw the results of that last year. My take is
that I would rather supply Marinelli with players than the one coach who must have something on Jason Garrett.

I would think that a person can - and has every right to - state a "viewpoint" in one post. State your opinion and that's that. But when a person is making post after post after post? They're either making a case or arguing for the sake of arguing or trolling.

Again, it takes one post to state one's opinion.

You'll need to clarify what you're saying here, I'm not understanding what you're trying to say.

Also, what makes you think that any of these QB's would be a worthy backup given the QB coaching we have in Dallas. I saw the results of that last year.

I'm not expecting any of these quarterbacks to be a "worthy backup" this year. That's not why I draft them. If that's your expectation, you'd never draft one.

My take is that I would rather supply Marinelli with players than the one coach who must have something on Jason Garrett.

And that just has to include the #4 overall pick? What one defensive player is there that you couldn't possibly get anywhere else?

I can show you the success rate for early round quarterbacks vs later round quarterbacks and I can illustrate that you cannot get a starting quarterback in free agency. Can you show me the same about any other position? Not when guys like Cousins and Bradford just got $18-$19 million you can't.

You are kinda like a pot calling the kettle black aren't you. How many posts are you making the exact same observations, friend.
Better check your own glass house before throwing rocks. You have 20 times the posts I do. Now we can play nice and just agree
to disagree on things.

Your post is right on the money. I have watched him his whole career and with me living in Mississippi, I saw constant coverage of Dak. He is a great kid, but he would be a total waste of a draft pick. I keep seeing his name thrown around as an option at QB that can be developed. The same posters are the ones that are against taking a QB with a high pick and thinks Romo will play for several more years.. Dak is not a realistic option, even as a developmental prospect.
 
All the more reason to act while you're in position to.



More speculation on your part. There's no clear indication that New England has any interest in parting with him, but in your desperation to not draft somebody this year, you'll make that 'your plan'.



Tell that to Green Bay. They only won a championship and found their quarterback of the present and future doing it, without that 5 years of failure we got to enjoy in between Aikman and Romo.

It's exactly the 'this year' thinking that keeps this team at .500, well that and an ineffective coach in training anyway.

You have more patience thsn me Stash. You was able to address each of those misguided ideals without losing your cool. I couldn't have done it without me being a horse's rear end. You are right on all points as usual and you even addressed each point in a calm, cool way. Good job buddy.

Thank you my brother! I appreciate the compliment!

The difference being that I'm actually making the effort to support my position with facts, rather than shrugging things off with a "maybe so". I love when people express their opinions, but if someone wants to do it repeatedly, I expect them to support it rather than simply regurgitating them over and over again and brushing off facts that someone else provides.

Now we can play nice and just agree to disagree on things.

Absolutely, it's nothing personal and if I've offended you, I apologize for it.
 
So the bottom line in Jerruh speak is? we're not interested in drafting a future QB at this particular point
and time and will watch as we effectively destroy what is left of Romo's career in Dallas
 
At the rate Jerry's going with his Romo-induced fanaticism, Tony may become the only active QB the Cowboys ever had to draw Social Security.
 
"You won't see a decision on draft day that will fly in the face of not believing that he'll be our quarterback for four or five years."
So we will see a decision that will fly in the face of believing it. Got it.
