Stephen has spoken. The Cowboys are going with what they have until all 3 QB's backing up Romo have "spit the bit" so
to speak. The youth movement is in full force at VR and they are not bringing any re-treads from other teams.

It is s dumb move to overlook veteran FAs at some positions. Jimmy had s massive youth movement in the early 90's , but he saw the value in plugging holes with veterans acquired through trades or FA signings.

Glennon looks real lanky, slow, and is a statue player.His only positive is a big arm and young age. He will never win a gun fight but can probably put a couple of scores on a board. Right now I think this team is set at qb for the year. Maybe next year if Moore and Showers do not show much.

sacked 56 times in 19 total games. :eek:

I'm just so sure that the Jones family discovered "dumb" as they are counting their billions. Yep, those guys and their staff just don't know
anything about football and the NFL...right!

Get me Josh McCown from Cleveland please.

That is who I would prefer if available. Something has to give in Cleveland since they also have Griffin, Kessler, Austin Davis and Connor Shaw.

Strike the word dumb, how about Illprepared? Nobody looked equipped to life without Romo last season. That is just the plain truth.

Foles might become available too. McCown played well last year and looks to be a solid QB. Type of guy that could get us 2-2 if we needed it.

Weeden looked pretty good at Houston, didn't he. I think you have to put that on the offensive coaches who couldn't adapt with the
loss of Romo. Weeden is limited for sure but, he can do more than he was allowed to do in Dallas. I think Stephen believes
fully in the youth movement and letting young guys learn football in this system. I don't think Stephen likes to pay age and really
meager ability which any QB on the street has now.

Great plan......what if he gets hurt Week 14 and we are 11-3

Well that would suck....but i'm sure whether its Mike Glennon or Dak or Moore....we would still end the season 11-5. Mike Glennon is not a very good quarterback in this league.

Do you really want to defend your position on the success of the Jones" family since Jimmy left?

The response was to the "those guys and their staff", which includes the coaching staff who flubbed their evaluation of all of them and grossly mishandled once they got to play. Weeden also got endorsements from ownership.

As for paying age, they paid a premium rate and pick for Cassel.

The misevaluation of the backup situation, including the lip service this offseason that it was a "priority" this offseason is a widespread issue that nobody should be immune from accountability for it.

All that can be done now is cross our fingers for Romo's health. I strongly doubt they interested in Glennon at all. He is a veteran, you know that type of player that we just are allergic to until we panic about it.

There is no panic...If Romo goes down the season is lost just like most of the other 32 teams in the NFL. Only about 5 or 6 teams have
decent backups that can win games, all the others meh!

Unlike you and I, who comes here because we like football and the Cowboys in particular, the Jones love business, power, money, deal-making and then football probably in that order. As long as fans continue to watch their team, buy their junk, come to their massive stadium for games and events, and provide them with countless millions in profits each year... I don't think the Jones family is dumb...pretty smart I'd say.

Is Mike Glennon this years Jake Delhomme where people are going to be clamoring for us to get Glennon?

This is not a new thought and we have had threads on this very topic already this year and I doubt we will stop having them.

Some years there is just that name that pops up that multiple threads or people think we should trade for.

One or two years it was the Offensive Lineman from the Ravens.

Seems odd how it focuses in on a player from time to time.
