Said it countless times, his pathological optimism holds this franchise back in so many ways.
Nobody in the entire organization is going to question this outlook with realism. On the rare times someone talks sense to him and above all can make him understand, it is usually too late.
Look at Aikman. He continued to mortgage drafts to get him weapons when his back was shot. Then when it truly hits him, he panics.
While I don't think Tony can play at a high level past 38 that's conjecture. You can't equate a bad back with broken bones. You can argue Tony keeps the ball too long but in his injuries the D is getting to him quickly. One could argue we don't handle the blitz well and many would agree. And this is a known way to play Tony.
What is not logically arguable is we need to develop QBs better and must pick up better backup QBs. What I took away from this mess is a good vet while developing a young guy. I could even argue we should have a two QB projects on the PS. At the least you might get a backup who already knows the system.
And we need someone to teach this line, RBs and TEs how to pick the blitz up better as well as play more max protection until we back them off the LOS and blitzing.
Please just retire or something Tony.
If you watch Manziel he is not that bad of a QB.
I'd love to have him here as a backup because I think he still can develop into a pretty good player but the lightning rod that he is with the media just makes it not worth it.
He is the type of guy we need when Romo goes down though.
I would love RG3 as well as a backup because he is mobile, and throws down field well.
If we're not serious about firing Garrett and not drafting a QB then I want a guy behind Romo that is willing to make plays with his legs because no other QB is going to consistently do well in this trash scheme.
Good analysis but here's the rub. We haven't developed receivers who excel at crossing routes and pick plays. Now if we do and get a QB who
can get the ball out in 2 seconds, we might have a chance. That's Patriots ball and we don't seem to have coaches who can coach it?
Please just retire or something Tony.
Tony will play until we win a superbowl (I know, I know) then retire IMO. Whether that be next year, two years or three, Tony won't retire till we get there.
How do ya like those 3 super bowls?

I loved Johnny Football at A&M and I'll admit that when it he plays in the NFL I usually try to tune in but he CAN'T play here in Dallas. Can you imagine the circus that would attract? I've had enough about Krakens, monkeys and stealing underwear. Anytime Johnny Football had a drink at a Chilis, it would cause a global nuclear meltdown in the media with Ed Werder standing in front of grilled fajitas as he reports on the circumstances. No thanks.
This is coming from a guy who wanted the Cowboys to draft JF in the first place. I can admit I'm wrong.
Jones obsession with a mediocre Manziel is bizarre.
Frankly, the fact Manziel has been mediocre on the field and a disaster off it and we drafted arguably a Top 5 OG in all of football instead should be more than enough evidence for Jerry to finally shut his ********* yapper about what he wanted in 2014.
I might understand it if we took Martin and the QB he wanted was Aaron Rodgers.
