Manziel: "I grew up a Cowboys fan, I was born at halftime of a game, would be folktale to wear Star"

[theSHOW]

pretty sure I saw them standing beside each other at the Heisman ceremony and Manzeil looked at least 3 inches taller than Flutie which surprised me.

because he was standing on the 5" podium

yeah, he's much taller than Flutie

 

[Beast_from_East]

Yeah, that's some logic there. If you rate a QB the best player in that year's draft class, you're trying to replace your own QB.

That's needs obsessed nonsense. Anyone who understands the draft wouldn't think like that.

Exactly.

I bet the Pats had Luck number one on their board, so I guess they are trying to replace Brady..................LOL

 

[skinsscalper]

One of these high profile QBs will probably slip to us.

I think in spite of the Romo contract and the DL mandate..

you step up and take your next QB.

While the rest of the NFC re-arms with new QBs (the Iggles and Commanders)

and the Jints already have 2 SBs with Eli Manning..

we are still struggling with Romo and his baggage.

Why build the team over the next 2-3 years ubder Romo ONLY..

..to have to rebuild again once we ABSOLUTELY must have a new QB..?

Now we are talking 2-3 years of being behind the rest of the NFC and the Eastern Division especially before we go find a QB?

Thats insanity.

Take the QB now..

..we are not turning into contenders with a DL as our first choice.

Jerrah..think it thru for once.

Draw a timeline on a piece of paper and see what is happening.

You'll understand your only way to win a SB in the next 3-4 years is to find your next QB.

Speaking of thinking it through for once, you do realize that the QB play last year wasn't the reason this team didn't contend, right? With an even serviceable defense (15-18th ranked range) this team is in the playoffs, right? A team ranked 32 in total defense and our only way to win a SB in the 3-4 years is to replace the QB. You can't possibly be that stupid. Wait a minute, you obviously can. Forget it.

 

[Beast_from_East]

I haven't read through all the pages of this thread, but I have a question. Since we still have Romo, Manziel wouldn't have to play right away. Could he be NFL ready in a few years when Romo hangs it up? I'm not saying we should draft him or that we shouldn't. Just wondering what you guys think about his potential down the line.

With the rookie cap, you really have to play these guys early. You cant let somebody sit the bench for 2 or 3 years and then have just 1 year left before they hit free agency.

You either end up developing a QB for another team or you have to franchise him and pay him $20 million a year if he is a stud QB.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Let me get this straight.........................we have a QB that had 31 TD passes and only 10 INTs.......................we have a defense that went multiple games without forcing a single punt.

And you guys want to draft a QB in the first round, even trade up to do it?

Wow.

No disrespect, because I do not want to draft "johnny football". and I don't trust that he's going to be a great player…….and I would not mortgage the draft for him or any QB in this draft for that matter…. but…… "31&10" does not account missed key passes & turnovers over several season, a lack of accuracy on the deep ball this year, and a declining overall accuracy, as well as a disk injury, that we are all aware of. I'm all for giving Tony 2 more years, will root for him, and want him to do well…. but he is not flawless, nor is he elite in my opinion. I also do not trust the way his injury situation has been reported over the last year. I have no problem with anyone who feels that our QB situation needs to be addressed. Now how, that's a different story

Actually..

If you want to do that sort of fuzzy math..

Romo thru the Packers game away..

He thru the Denver game away..

he thru the Detroit game away..

he thru the Saints game away..

he was the QB in those games against winning teams we had to beat.

Jerrah always says..there is nobody he'd rather have with the ball in his hands at the end of a game.

So yes the defense is an issue..but if Sir Lancelot Romo is going to make the big bucks..

he needs to win the big games.

He doesn't do that anymore..hasn't since 2009 when we last won the East.

Do the math..this is 2014 and he's coming off 2 back surgeries.

Obviously this guy has never played a team sport or he'd realize it's a team game.

Did he really just say he threw the Denver game away? That's really all the board needs to know about this guy.

Go back and review what happened there.

Yes..lots of yards were run up on both sides..

but Romo has to win these games..

no more free passes dude..

maybe for you..

but for the rest of us..we've all seen enough Tony Romo in the ditch games.

There are just too many to mention.

How about the Vikings Playoffs 2009..that was a sweet game for Romo..

how about Seattle in 2006...?

Another sweet one.

You can love the guy as your hero but he's not mine..not by a long shot.

Never forget the Twitter comments right after Kapernick had 3 turnover in the 4th Qt..

Twitter went crazy and called it "Romo-esque"..

how appropriate..huh?

That's like Roy Williams getting the Horse Collar Rule named after him.

Not exactly what you want to be remembered by.

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

Man the off season is long when you gotta hear and read this junk.

How long till the draft so we can get past this nonsense?

This kid has bust written all over him.

Im willing to bet that every poster here who wants this idiot kid bashes Jerry routinely, yet everyone that wants Johnny F Football is acting just like a little Jerry.

 

[bayeslife]

Why does it seem like every player who comes out of college "grew up a Cowboys fan"

This post amuses me. I LOL'ed so loud my roommate heard me.

I mean you can't be talking about the Denver game where Romo had over 500 yards 5td's/1int? The game he actually outplayed Peyton Manning? You can't be talking about that game because that would just be stupid.

Or the 09 Vikings game where Tony should probably have ended up in a full body cast? You obviously didn't watch that game. Colombo would have had more success against Ray Edwards if he'd just laid on the ground and acted as a speed bump.

Tony Romo doesn't need to "be my hero" for me to understand it's a team game. Russell Wilson just won a Super Bowl. I guess we can put that win on his shoulders because the defense is irrelevant, right guys? Guys????

I don't even know why I replied.

LOL, 2 games in 10 years and one of them was because he was a holder only because he began the season as the backup QB, and the other was a game you clearly didn't watch. We need a minimum IQ score for board membership.

Romo had a career day for the first 59 minutes of that game.

Unfortunately, on the final drive, the most important one of the game, with the game tied, yet another chance for him to change his perception and be the hero, he threw a pick at our 25 yard line, handing them the win.

The 500 yards and 5 TDs doesn't really matter at that point. When it came down to it, the drive that everyone and their mother knew was going to decide that game, he made the mistake that gave the game away. Period. You can point your finger at the defense for their play, and they deserved it, but they weren't the ones that handed Prater a chip shot game winning FG as time expired.

you are a winner, bro.

DING DING DING

I suggest anger management, sir.

I'm just here to follow my team and not debate junior GM roundtable stuff.

Whats the matter, brother?

Go ahead..we'll listen.

 

[Redball Express]

You missed his point Red
He was saying Flutie was not a dousche and that Maziel is.

Oops..

Never mind..

Yikes.

Got to enlarge my tablet screen more..

Huh?

 

[Frozen700]

I would Trade our Number 1,2, ware, and Romo...throw in Austin also. To get this guy.....Dez needs this. So does the O-line.
