That explains why you're so cranky all the time. Don't blame me it could have something to do with your diet. :laugh:

Remember all the experts said Peyton Manning was done after Neck Fusion surgery? Manning went on to two SB's with another team. Brady just won a SB at 39, Favre had his best years at 40, Elway won SB's at 37 and 38 years old. Romo is in what I call his "prime between the ears" to go to a SB. Someone will get a gem when we trade or release him.

So already have Romo half way out the door but can't come up with 1 name as a backup. It's gonna be hard finding a guy who can compete with 4th round talent and not take over the startin spot

Romo is halfway out the door and it isn't just me putting him there. You can't name possible backup QBs now, we're in Feb. Sanchez is still on the roster and they'll be QBs available like Ryan Fitzpatrick. Kellen Moore could be another option. You need to start getting serious before you get sat down again.

One of my all-time movie classics is Cecille B. Demille's The Ten Commandments. There's that famous deathbed scene of Nefeterri (sp?) and Seti listening to the Egyptian priest bellowing Seti's passage to the afterlife. I loved how the actor playing Seti responded, "The old windbag!"

Funny. I kinda think of you as an Egyptian priest now. Ever work in a grainery before..?

Jerry says that they haven't made a decision on Romo yet.

If you ever get over the hate and stop allowing every comment I make to get under your skin, you'll be a lot happier person. What you're doing isn't making you look very good, but carry on as you please. You can't lose arguments this way. :thumbup:

If you can't make passes accurately and consistently at 10-20 yards you have no business being a QB.
The point isn't that Prescott made the throws accurately and consistently. The point is that the only player who was more accurate and consistent was Tom Brady. And these are throws that make up more than 90% of all attempts in the NFL.

If you value a QB who's been consistently successful on targets beyond 20 yards, there is someone available. His last two seasons:
>20 yards in air
32 of 80 1062 yd 7 td 1 int 111.4

Just be aware of what he did on his other 500+ attempts.
343 of 516 3500 yd 17 td 15 int 84.6

That first set of numbers represents about 5 attempts per game, while the second set represents 25 attempts. On 5 of 30 attempts in a typical game, he is an elite QB. On the other 25 attempts, he's below average.

That adds up to being average.

Like maybe cutler?

So, you are tuned into the mental wave lengths of the staff for the Cowboys concerning backup quarterback?
No but from quotes I can come up with a opinion like I said nothing has 100% given away what is going to happen do until it does my opinion stays...if Romo is on the team start mini camps and training camp then I'd assume he is the starter...nothing else has suggested otherwise..

Jerry is saying what he's supposed to say. He said during the season once Romo was healthy he would play. Trust me the decision has already been made, Romo will not be here next season.

So let's compare dak to brady after 1 season? And then say that he is accurate because he threw for a certain percentage..I say he is not accurate for the passes he doesn't attempt...or dosent feel he can make. Just my opinion I'm not gonna hammer it in you..

So then why wait? If you can just cut him now as a June 1st? Also maybe Romo being the guy he is maybe just maybe could have said nah it's all you rook....maybe Romo is gone maybe he isn't but as of today...he is

Things had to be scaled down some for him being a rookie and spending most of training camp and preseason preparing to be the backup so we went with a short middle of the field passing game to make sure with limited mistakes. Dak had to go without Dez 3 full games and still won including a win over the Packers at Lambeau. I say he is accurate and some of the throws he made during the season proved he was accurate but you're hung on a QB challenge where he was throwing at paper targets. lol

You wait for the obvious reason to try and trade him. We have a long time before we have to move him and one of the best opportunities to move him could be on draft day. It would be stupid to release him now, when we have plenty of time to possibly workout a trade and get something for him. He won't be with the Cowboys once the 2017 season starts.

Excuse me KJJ. The following is for other members:

Does anyone use the Photobucket app? I tried accessing my app just now and it kept canceling repeatedly but worked finally. Has anyone else experienced this glitch in it or with another app recently?

You would have a problem with Ryan Fitzpatrick as a backup? Who exactly do you expect as a backup QB next season, someone who's just coming of Pro Bowl season? lol All backup QBs have flaws so you try and come up with a QB who has starting experience that you can hopefully stay afloat with if you're starter goes down.
