Lorenzo Neal and LaDanain Tomlinson aren't weapons for Phillip Rivers?

Same era.

They also have that quasi-TE Nanaa or however you spell it.

He had as many receptions as Neal.

1 example of an average offense? that's the best you got?

let's stick w/ the Cowboy angle, you do know that Romo shattered every Aikman passing record of the '90's time-frame, right? including attempts and completions

what do you think we'll be relying on more, Romo's arm, or Marion Barber's legs?

It trumps "different era" so bad that I don't really need to amplify how ridiculous it is to think running game is not a weapon for a QB.

I could give a squat about Neal's receptions. I'd love to have his blocking in front of Barber.

Wouldn't it be great if the team had both?

Apparently not Stash.

Nah, that would be detrimental to their argument.

:laugh2: so when Jerry said that he wanted to surround Romo w/ more weapons, he meant a FB?

I didn't say a running game wasn't a weapon, but you can just as easily set one up w/ a passing game

 

[Bob Sacamano]

and the only way to get that is to spend a 3rd on a FB?

jeez, this isn't about whether I want to improve the running game or not, it's the value of going about doing it, I see no value in spending a high pick on a FB, you can basically pick one off the streets nowadays, but can certainly use a low pick on one

as skinsscalper has already stated, an improving running game can be better accomplished by better run-blocking by the line as a whole, which hopefully comes via Hudson HOuck

This the best you got?

I bet the Chargers would disagree.

I know Emmitt would.

Neal is part of their 0-line in essence, he's not a weapon. He scored all of one TD last season, and that was receiving. Granted, this is the tail end of his career, but he's always been an elite blocker, not so much of a weapon for the QB.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

heeee's...tomson

yeah, that's me!

I'm not advocating 3rd round.

But I would have no problem in the 4th, after needs at CB, WR and backup RB were addressed.

And I can't see receptions in the argument when even the great Daryl Johnston averaged two catches a game for his career.

BIGG is a weapon for Tony Romo. He didn't score a single TD in 2007.

There are 11 guys on the field. 10 of those guys do things to help a QB. The better they are at those things the better they are as a weapon.

It depends upon how you define weapon.

Jerry didn't exclude LG.

But methinks when Jerry said he wanted to surround Romo with more weapons, I think he was probably referring to WR and maybe RB.

Doesn't mean we won't explore it....but I doubt he was referring to FB as a weapon.

and here's Larry Lacewell

no, the point is that we're being built around Romo

How ironic. See directly above for my definition.

I would counter that the best friend of any quarterback is a great running game.

And I think Troy Aikman would agree with me.

And I feel that Schmitt would help to improve the running game, thereby being a 'weapon' for Romo.

You're Larry Lacewell? Okay.

FB isn't around the QB? Seriously?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

what's w/ the lame attempts to turn stuff back on me? guess it accompanies the lame arguments

FB isn't around the QB? Seriously?

does the FB directly or indirectly contribute to a QB's success?

can a QB be great w/ an average FB?

Interesting remark given the post that got deleted.

Both. Want to know about 30 yard slants or different eras next?
