Recap: Stephen Jones discusses QB situation

[perrykemp]

But what's the real timeline for Romo. Broaddas says 4-6, Crapaport says 6-10. Which one is it?

Remember the endless debates last season on whether the optimistic or conservative injury return estimates for Dez and Romo were true?

My recollection is they both came back on the earlier side, neither were fully healed, and both rebroke bones.

Sure you want earlier? Are you confident enough in the training staff?

 

[WoodysGirl]

I don't think they're considering a veteran QB to start. They need a QB for depth. I don't think they're concerned about DAk, but they're one hit away from starting Showers. So it's more about Showers than Dak, IMO.

Bingo. Remember last year with thread after thread of "wait til week 11 when Romo get back". How'd that go? By the time he recovers and shakes off the rust it wont matter this year. Lets see what they have in Dak.

And BINGO was her name-o

 

[jday]

A just as good if not better QB will likely be on the streets in a couple of weeks and with the Cowboys waiver position they should be able to snag who they want.

 

[perrykemp]

Kapernick very well could come available.

 

[dewby]

Kapernick very well could come available.

No thanks...

A poor man's Dak, at this point.

 

[Broges74]

Kapernick very well could come available.

He's done as a starter and seems to be disgruntled. Rather have a guy that is happy here backing up a rook.

Agreed. It's Dak's job to lose. And in limited preseason action he's looked MUCH better than any other backup, rookie, or UDFA QB has in this offense in years.

 

[RS12]

Kapernick very well could come available.

Hard to believe he is a bad call away from a ring.

 

[noshame]

Yeah they have to bring in a last resort guy

 

[perrykemp]

Hard to believe he is a bad call away from a ring.

They had a great defense and good running game.

You can win a Superbowl with a mediocre QB if you have those things.

stephen jones on romo: "My dad and I where hitting the ole kool aid this morning and Jason came in. He had a couple and now he's thinking Tony might be ready for week 1........we get the good ****!"

I would love to have their kool aid

 

[Floatyworm]

Kapernick very well could come available.

Don't want him either...

That slinging side arm fool from Nevada...is the last person on Earth I want to see in a Cowboys uniform.

That's true but my god look at the options.

TJ Yates
Dan Orlovsky
Mike Glennon
Josh McCown

On and on and on...

I think I'd rather go with Jamielle.

I think you have to look at history. Romo has not done well returning early from injuries. I can't decide whether the man has "brittle bones" or he is just the unluckiest QB ever. I too am a little excited to watch our "rookies" - you never know they may just take off running for the "most" part. I know they will have their growing pains but it may just be time to turn the page on this team....

 

[popp1234]

I don't know bro. Why are you asking me. I'm just smart... not clairvoyant.

You're much too modest.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

I love Dak and am inspired by his play. I think he's our future. But it wouldn't matter if he went 4-0 the first month. It's not Tony's job, it's Tony's team

 

[Craig]

I was really counting on taking dak in the last round of my keeper league...the 17th...im about to be up in the 12th and used my 13th for a keeper. I think i need to pull the trigger now. Fffffff

The recovery timeframe is 6-10. I have to assume 4-6 is an optimistic look at which week he returns...but i havent looked at either of their soecific comments.
