Tony Romo on with @NormsClubhouse said when his collarbone is re-evaluated they could choose to insert a plate to prevent another injury
"From my perspective, I feel very strongly about the way that I'm going to be able to play going forward."
on Kellen Moore: "He was very relaxed. He showed some things that you have to like. ... there are some encouraging signs there."
GM Tony Romo asked by @NormsClubhouse if he'd select a QB high in this year's draft: "If that's the best player."

I hope they put in a plate and don't go QB in the first. I have zero confidence in their quarter back talent evaluation.

 

[noshame]

Don't worry Tony, we will.

 

[Risen Star]

I hope they put in a plate and don't go QB in the first. I have zero confidence in their quarter back talent evaluation.

So your response to failed personnel decisions in the past is to just stop trying. Rebuild Romo until he's eligible for medicare.

No. I think this is exactly why you push for a QB early in the draft if the scouting grade is there. It's less of a projection. Take another in the draft too. Throw numbers at the position. Get it right so we don't have to play in the have nots conference in the NFL post-Romo.

The fact that you have no confidence in this front office's ability to find a QB should make you want them to get on it ASAP. It may take several attempts. Not wait until they have nothing and you're in crisis mode.

Agreed but they will have to find a QB sooner or later and it better be sooner.

So what is going to change?

Put it on a plate? Does that mean squint your eyes until you have to open them and face reality?

 

[LucaBrasi]

I don't have much confidence in their player evaluation across the board, not just qb.

Hope tony bounces back, we need him. He wasn't very good in the games he played this year, just have to hope it's not the beginning of the end.

Here's our QB draft history since our talent evaluators aren't trusted; I'll keep it at 25 years of history for simplicity sake:

2009 - Stephen McGee - Round 4, Pick 101
2002 - Quincy Carter - Round 2, Pick 53
1991 - Bill Musgrave - Round 4, Pick 106

The simple fact is that we don't draft QB's. We try and develop UFA's or vagabond veterans, but we've drafted three QB's in the last 25 years and none at an extremely premium pick. It's gotten us enough playoff wins to count on one hand and enough SB's to count on Captain Hook's hand.

Look around the league and you'll see that most starting QB's are high draft picks. They vary in quality, but the trend is obvious.

 

[Section446]

Say what you want about Romo as a player, but the guy is always classy.

Have you been drinking?

As you should, and it's been a problem since Aikman. I mean, consider that Romo was almost cut from the team.

They have a chance to get a difference maker in the top eight, I have no confidence in their quarter back or corner back evaluation. History has shown they have a better chance of falling *** backwards into getting a QB.

I want their top pick to come in and play right away.

 

[waving monkey]

BPA with a little wiggle room

He was 3-1 despite only playing healthy for 6 quarters. Carolina was horrendous but beside that he got the job done.

 

[phildadon86]

Can Jerry just fire Garrett and let Romo coach and play on the team? He's already more than halfway there.

GM too lol

Keep kickin that can down the road I always say.

Exactly. Truth is, Romo is going anywhere yet. Jerry has already stated basically what you're saying. They haven't wanted to spend a top draft pick on a QB, only to groom him for the bench, and for another team to grab in FA at the highest bidder. I'm up for a 3rd or 4th especially, since we have so many 4ths. 1st and 2nd should be starters on your football team, unless you're so stacked at every position, that you can spend it on backups. Clearly we are not.

Thanks for some interesting news for a change. Is there more to this interview?

Check the news zone. I think there have been a few articles that have been posted that provide more context.

So if you can't trust them with a first round talent, then you will never think they will ever get a QB any other way?
