Twitter: Tony Romo talking with Norm - 12/28/15

Tony Romo IS a Jedi and this is just a mind trick.

 

[MRV52]

you want them to turn him into iron man?

I was thinking more in the line of a Terminator.

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.

given only 2-3 go in the 1st round usually anyway, this would be more like league wide eval from round 1, not just the cowboys. if you're talking 4-5th + rounds, then yea, up to them more than the "givens".

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.

Not to over-react but..

like the Packers have done..

why not draft a couple of QBs over the next couple of seasons until somebody emerges as Romo's replacement?

Or at worst we find a starter AND a backup both of whom can play?

This front loading the QB position with 4th string clipboard holders as backups clearly has not worked in the Romo Era.

If QB is the single defining position on any successful team..

Landry solved the issue by having Morton and Meredith then Morton and Staubach. Then Danny White.

Why do you think we used to be in the playoffs for 20 straight years?

We had quality QBs playing and in the pipeline always.

And it isn't because of the salary cap.

Its becuz coaching staffs are not QB centric anymore.

Its easier to take one guy and load everything on his shoulders and then when he fails..coaches and players get fired and move on.

I think you take 2 guys and truely put them hehind center and play them both as needed.

We see it in college.

Its just football. But if applied correctly..it could revolutionize the pros.

Have 2 different type QBs..pocket passer and running QB.

Move them in and out of the lineup and force the defense to adjust and get mismatches.

Its done with RBs and WRs.

Why not QBs.?

Love this post, up until the "switching QBs in and out during the game thing". QBs need to get into a rhythm. Having two QBs that are capable of winning is a fantastic idea though.

The best way to find a QB is to find one that has weaknesses that your QB coach can strengthen and OC can hide. The best way to get that guy is to start drafting QBs.

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."

People who are on the draft a qb now because tony romo is going to get hurt campaigne are going to eat this this up like saying see tony even says draft a qb now. When thats not what he's saying, he saying draft the best player and if thats a qb fine take him because it makes you better, but DONT REACH. Sorry but none of these two top QBs IMO deserve to be top 5 picks. Theyre projects, but because teams like cleveland need a QB they will reach because its the QB posistion. Dallas doesnt need to reach, it has a franchise QB. And just like now when players on the Cowboys gets injured the fan base turns on them like flicking off a light switch. They did the same thing with Dez and Murray their first couple yrs in the NFL. Just like they knew Lee wouldnt make it thru this season.

But getting back on topic to QB in top 5, Lynch and Goff im sorry arent ready unless theyre drafted by a a spread offense thats going to keep them in shotgun in 2016 like Tenn has done with Marriota. And he's lucky he made it thru the season cause he's gotten killed all yr. if we are talking about BPA and the importance of that and not reaching for players, then Lynch abnd Goff shouldnt even be a consideration because theyre going off potential, and not NFL ready situations. Because they arent ready to start unlike players like Tunsil, Bosa, Hargreaves, Jack, Smith, Nkemdiche, Robinson ect. Those guys are all ready and will make impacts yr one. IMO Dallas would do itself plenty of favors by trading back and picking up extra picks and getting that Qb to develope in RD2 or RD3, or getting that extra RD1 pick in 2017. have urself a young established team before investing in that QB. Shore up your defense before you have that QB come in and can roll with the team in his first yr rather then having to lead the team in his first yr after the Romo era is over. Dallas still has 2-3 yrs before this era is over. Dallas has bigger needs on this team then to spend a pick on a player who most likely wont play for 2 yrs, atleast not a pick that high. S,RB, CB, DT, LB, WR, QB. IMO this is need importance for this team right now.
