McGee not Romo, next quarterback to take the Cowboys to the Super Bowl

[RS12]

Gil Brandt loved McGee.

 

[triplets92]

I would love if any qb takes us but I think Tony will be the one to take us to our next one.

Neither one of them, or Montana (in his prime), will take this team anywhere until the OL can provide protection! (and that ain't happening in the near furture)

How many Cowboy games did you watch last year?

Did you see this line in the games it was healthy?

I was certainly in favor of drafting 3 or more lineman. I agree we need depth and increased competition.

But lets not get carried away here. There's plenty of talent in the starting lineup.

This is true, but they certainly didn't solidify the need. We could be a few injuries away from a rough year for Romo.

Or a pro bowl QB with the highest career QB rating among active QBs.

Romo is proven commodity regardless if he was drafted. McGee on the other hand is a 4th round rookie who need to prove himself. I dont care what Rang says. We are not pinning our hopes of our next SB win on McGee.

 

[KingintheNorth]

McGee = 2012 1st round pick.

He will be ready before Romo is ready to call it quits. Someone will want a talented young QB with 3 years of NFL experience on his resume.

Here is someones opinion on Stephen McGee:

• QB Stephen McGee, Dallas (fourth round; 101st overall): If McGee had received pro-style coaching throughout his time at Texas A&M, he could have been a first-round pick. Taken 100 picks later than Matthew Stafford, there are a number of NFL scouts who feel McGee will eventually be the better NFL quarterback. I'll take it a step further -- it will be McGee, and not current starter Tony Romo, who will be the next quarterback to take the Cowboys to the Super Bowl.

That's really laughable, because when it's all said and done, McGee will probably NOT even be on the roster next season.

We'll wind up cutting him , placing him on waivers, like we did with Matt Moore, another wasted talent that should have been backing up Romo from draft day.

Another team will waltz in and snatch him up, and he'll be a productive player with another team. It's a reality when it comes to good roster decisions with the Dallas Cowboys. We're always quick to cut players who just didn't measure up in mini camps , and we wind up shooting ourselves in the foot.

By the way, Romo WILL lead this team to the SB, remember, it takes 53 men together to make it work, Just in case anyone doesn't know the meaning of the "team sport concept" .

i prefer stephen mcgee will be the first man since tony romo to lead the cowboys to a superbowl win myself

I can assure you there is virtually no chance of McGee being another Moore. One, I believe we learned our lesson about being cute. Second, he was a draft pick and that's an investment you give a year or two or even three. He has work to do and will made that commitment by spending a moderately high choice on him. Three, he's much more talented than Matt Moore ever was. The whole reason we tried to sneak him through waivers was because we thought we could get away with it.

Explain Bobby Carpenter and Isaiah Stanback then.

Actually, we might be quick to judge undrafted free agents, but it seems draft choices get the benefit of the doubt.

You've made a lot of guarantees in your post. This one isn't a lock either.

Good post Alex. I appreciate the value you bring to this forum.

That is the ugly truth...thanks for the reminder of our roadblock to victory. I told someone before the draft Dallas should consider drafting all offensive lineman...then maybe we could find a few who could actually step in and play.

Our offensive line looks like Tarzan but blocks like Jane.

I wanted a dedication to the offensive line in this past draft, but not because I was overly concerned about the starter's abilities. We simply have no depth and don't have anyone with solid promise for the future that at least is obvious on the roster right now. That was my biggest draft disappointment.

That said, I think now some are overeager to pound on the offensive line and imagine we had the worst line ever and that was responsible for Romo's issues as well. The mistakes he made last year were simply indicative of what he does and were shouldn't be used as evidence that the line is bad.

It is obvious to me people have forgotten what a truly bad offensive line looked like. We had that in 2005 with Rob Petitti and Torrin Tucker, not last year. Flozell Adams is old and doesn't have much left, but he's far from the turnstile you hear fans whining about. He played hurt and it showed. The bigger issue is why he had to play hurt and that was because our depth couldn't be trusted. We found out the hard way with Proctor obviously at guard. Other than that, we have an above average line that can be very good when in shape, motivated, prepared and have their heads together.

Overall, our injuries (actually injury) shouldn't have devastated the line. Four out of your five lineman starting every game is not the worst injury situation you could hope for. With proper coaching and focus (and a better backup guard than Proctor), we should have weathered the storm but we didn't. The concentration lapses and what appeared to be poor preparation from Houck were more concerning than believing they were all bums who can't play.

They didn't do well and looked out of sync for much of the season. I'll put that on the coaching staff for not being prepared, both with suitable backup talent and adjusting to the loss of Kosier. The talent is there with the starters. They just have be prepared better and get it done.

 

[burmafrd]

THAT is my worry from last year. For a HOF coach like Houck to NOT have things prepared better is a bad thing.

I refuse to believe we could not do better then the proctologist.

I believe we have overestimated Houck. "HOF"? I am not so sure about that.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I agree with that.

Seems when he left many were wanting him back and thinking that would cure all he woes of our Offensive line.

Well so far that has not been the case.

It seems to be that the majority agrees that our problem is drafting O-Linemen more than anything.

Gurode is the last one we drafted that has done well.

That is a lot of money tied up into FAs brought in to be starters on our O-Line yet it seems at the end of every year we are complaining about backups who could be possible future starters.

Do you also get the feeling that when Flo finally is done we will not have drafted his replacement already but will wind up getting another FA to replace him?

 

[TwentyOne]

Cool. I don't care who takes us. I just want another trophy.

So true!

 

[speedkilz88]

Or moving Bigg to LT.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Or moving Bigg to LT.

Yeah that idea has been talked about but they need to nix those ideas.

Leave Bigg where he is, he is a pro bowler at OG and does not need to be moved to OT where we will be hurting at OT and OG.

This is throwing something against the wall. If by some miracle it comes true, you post your original article and proclaim yourself brilliant. But when the inevitable happens and you're wrong, almost nobody will remember.

The only guarantee I can make is that we all will die someday, as far as you misconstruing confidence with arrogance, I think you misjudged me. I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan, homer, whatever it is that you forum people call fans with a sense of confidence in their teams they hold alliances too!

I'm a little annoyed at the front office and the way in which they handled players and talent.
What's misconstrued as talent, ( aka Carpenter and the injury prone Stanback) is and would never had been my call to keep either on the roster, if I were the GM, so let's not twist anything I posted into something other than what I said.
I neither lied or even stretched the truth in what I posted about Matt Moore, But we all make mistakes, a painful one when you look at the overall snapshot of what transpired last season.

So, any FAN that has no confidence in what their team brings to the current season ( excluding the Lion fans) needs to re-evaluate their loyalty and their personal fandom to a particular team.
