Camp fodder

Yup, he was overdrafted because he was a solid player at a big school. He shouldn't have been drafted before the 5th round that year. He has the size and work ethic, maybe Grantham can work some magic with him. I'm hoping for the best from all of our players, but he probably won't make it through TC.

He probably will get cut.

Nothing more than a camp fodder.

Yeah, everyone can think camp fodder, project, whatever you want to call it. And will most likely be correct. But what did every one think of Romo as a FA.

I know I was glad they signed him, because he was good in college. So was Anderson, so you never know. But i always thought Romo as a back p type, never as one of the better QB's in the NFL.

Not saying Anderson could make that leap, but could be decent depth. which would be a nice surprise.
