McGee.. Why?

[ethiostar]

It is yet again further evidence of the inability of Jerry to manage a roster. He gets too close to players and can't let them go.

Yesterday another poster claimed that Garrett was letting friendship get in the way of business by retaining McGee.

It must be one freaking happy family at VR.

You need a hard, cold football guy who is not too attached to the players so he can let them go. Not many coaches have this ability and that's why most with dual responsibility have failed. Here we have an even worse situation as the owner directly makes these moves and he has major problems with separation anxiety from his players. Jerry should worry a lot less about being the players' friends - it doesn't endear any loyalty from them. They all go away to the highest bidder when they are FAs, they all talk smack when they go to another opponent and they belittle you and your precious team.

I had hoped Garrett had talked some sense into him but either he can't or he is too attached to a scrub like McGee too. Either way is just further proof that we need someone in here with authority between the coach and the GM who is willing to make the tough decisions - who to re-sign early, who to extend, who to let test the waters and who to release.

I know Garrett has tried to run practices differently and I believe he will get what he can out of this roster but I also believe that devoid of Romo this is the weakest team in this division by a wide margin. We don't have the talent to play against Philly - they will whip us twice again. We may compete against the Giants because of how bad their secondary appears to be but I fully expect us to get swept again. We stand a chance against Washington but only because they are starting a rookie QB.

Really? JG had no say in keeping McGee?

Maybe he's trade bait? If he's cut then we get nothing back?

If any team in the league gives us so much as a half eaten mayonnaise sandwich for McGoo, I'll eat my own shoes immediately after walking through an overpopulated cow pasture.

He's got decent arm strength and seems durable.

Yeah here's the problem, I like keeping a 3rd QB, in today's NFL QBs are worth more than any other position really. Problem is if McGee is worth anything to any other team in trade value.

I have a real hard time believing he has trade value at this point.

Garrett is partially at fault here but Jerry is the GM so he takes more blame for this one. Garrett should have told Jerry that McGee is not worth a roster space as it should be reserved for someone with developmental potential which he clearly lacks.

Like I said if Garrett won't say this to Jerry then he is too close to McGee and needs someone between him and Jerry who is detached from the players.

We need a grumpy, old guy in between the two of them.

@DallasTailgate I don't think this was Jones on McGee. The HC was fighting this battle. Remember this GM has gone with 2 QBs before.


Bryan Broaddus‏@BryanBroaddus
Just a thought but if McGee makes this Cowboys 53, don't any one tell me that Jason Garrett doesnt have a big say in what goes on here.



Theory busted...boom!

Yeah thats what I figured, an ol' QB wanting to keep 3 QBs which I have no problem with. I just hope JG sees talent in this guy (and trade value), cause so far its hard to see it.

This has the Buelher written all over it. Another lousy move.

Jerry is the GM, not Garrett. If Jerry thought the roster was better with one of the other guys over McGee than he needs to overrule his coach here. The GM isn't just the guy who gives the HC exactly what he asks for. He has a different set of responsibilities than the HC. The HC's job is to win games with the roster he is given. The GM's job is to build the best roster he can for the HC.

Jerry is not doing his job if he let Garrett talk him into keeping McGee.

I am still hoping they kept McGee because someone wants to trade for him and we can recoup the 7th rounder we spent on Cook. There is little reason to keep a developmental QB who is not progressing in his 4th year. We know that Orton is the backup for the next few years and Romo is the starter. The 3rd QB likely will hardly ever see a play. Just stash a guy with potential on the practice squad and try to find someone worthy of being developed.

No, it's worse than Buehler. At least Buehler had a role here as the kickoff guy. He could actually dress on Sunday and get us about 6 extra yards of field position on each kickoff.

McGee gives us nothing. He's not the backup. He's not a candidate for development. He's nothing.

I think Jerry kept him around just so he could ogle Britt. On second thought ....

Well I don't like it anymore than you do really, wish we still had Coale first (who basically got beat out by Beasley) then maybe Hamilton (although it is highly likely he makes it to the PS). Not really a huge Lemon fan, wonder if he can make it to the PS also as he really lost his spot to Albright.

To me, it comes down to Coale or McGee, a 7th WR or a 3rd QB.....really the 3rd QB is worth more in most situations, except when you consider you are talking about a guy like McGee.

 

[marchetta]

If it ever got to the point that we needed his services, the season would already be over. So, what's the point of using a valuable roster spot on him?

Well Ireland consulting HC Philbin had nothing at all to do with getting the OK to trade Vontae Davis.

Your explanation is wrong on so many levels that it's jsut not worth argueing with someone that wants to immediately wants to play "Jerry is worthless GM" card.
