Stephen on the Fan said he wouldn't rule out anything on QB

[rags747]

*** Orton, I want Favre, he would be perfect in this offense.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Why the hell would anyone in their right mind want Kyle Orton??????????????????????

 

[DandyDon52]

Just saw this on R World.. don't know how to link:

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Cowboys reached out to free agent Kyle Orton, but that he's "still finished with football."

take it for what it's worth

yeah this is all over news, orton isnt coming back.
And I have to say orton got paid what he was due nothing more.
He allowed his contract to be restructured , and that led to the keeping G $ thing.
He got paid for 2 years thats it.

I can see us pick up someone but they're sticking w weeden and Moore I think

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Moore, at least, knows the offense. He was in Detroit when Lenehan was there. He would have some small advantage there. On the other hand, lenehan knows Moore so if he is not brought in, you have to think that there is a reason for it.

 

[DC Cowboy]

Denvers 2nd string QB Brock Osweilser is another capable young Backup, but not sure of his trade value or the value of Tampas' 2nd string Glennon or even Greenbays' 3rd string Hundley, furthermore if any one of them would be available.

so you would take Hundley over Showers?

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

No doubt about it. Seven days a week and twice on Sunday Hundly is a more developed passer and QB in general overall. It's not even close....and I like Showers!

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

It would be interesting for Dallas to clarify if they are looking for someone instead of Weeden, which would be really dumb since we have known all along we were one hit away from him being the starter, or if they are looking for someone as a backup.

I just don't see anyone they can bring in being a better option for at least the next 2-3 weeks than Weeden.

Obviously, Orton doesn't have much desire to play football again and even if he did, it is a new offense since he left. While Linnehan runs a similar system to Garrett, there is likely terminology changes. Orton would take at least a few weeks to be able to run the team. Going forward, he might be slightly better than Weeden but not likely to make more than a game worth of difference.

As far as trading for guys like Osweiler, Hundley, etc....I doubt any team that is a contender is going to part with their quality #2 guy especially to a team that is of playoff caliber. It makes no sense for any NFC team for sure at this point to possibly improve the Cowboys.

Weeden and Moore are the way to go unless they really are disappointed in Moore.

 

[Hoofbite]

Because for one he's cheap and nobody would think that he would have to spot Romo for 8 games, instead of 1or 2 games like last year. There is a reason Romo flew to London on his back in the aisle!

Just so we're clear:

1. He's cheap.​

2. He's not capable of filling in more than maybe a game or two.​

Again I ask, why is he on the roster?

Yes, who out there is really worth a crap? I mean Weeden has a ton of experience with the receivers and running backs. A new QB isn't even going to know the playbook. So who is so good they could just step in and run the show better than Weeden? I know the Cardinal game is still in everyone's mind, but I'm pretty sure Weeden is our best chance right now.

Linehan's offense in Detroit not same as Garrett's. But Moore is a pretty smart guy, should be able to pick it up in another week or two.

 

[waving monkey]

How did he screw us really? Did you pay him out of your pocket??

He screwed US

 

[George]

How about Favre?

 

[Aven8]

Just so we're clear:

2. He's not capable of filling in more than maybe a game or two.​

Because outside of Romo, who this regime didn't find, we suck at finding QB's.

 

[Nightman]

Terrelle Pryor could solve the WR5-QB2 situation with one signing.

It might take a little imagination but he could help Weeden a lot.

ps- or trade for RGIII

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I don't think Orton wants to play anymore. He's lost the desire to play.

 

[dupree89]

Kyle Orton? No thanks. If his heart was still in it, he would be on a roster already. No thanks to bringing someone in that was only doing it to get a paycheck. I'll take someone not quite as good, but would jump in front of a bus to help the team win.

 

[T-RO]

If the team is even thinking about bringing another QB in, why is Weeden on the roster?

He's the backup. When the starter is hurt, the backup plays. lol. Weeden just backs up no matter what, even to guys not currently on the roster.

I dont understand your post at all.

We bring in another quarterback because you need two on the roster. The guy on the practice squad is likely a developmental situation. If something happens to Weeden or he sucks horribly than you have a fall-back. It would be he same with any other team...and in any other decade. What's so hard about that?

 

[ottawacowpoke]

I feel dirty just writing this, but why not?

 

[Bullet22]

Weeden is going to start...need 3 qb's on your roster.....if they bring 1 in , it will be a 3rd team guy...not to start...
