We Need Backup QB's

[philo beddoe]

Who can we get? Will Tommy Maddox end up a Cowboy? I've suggested Ricky Ray from the CFL in the past. What suggestions do you other guys have?

I doubt if it is Ricky ray.

I imagine it would be someone along the lines of who you mentioned, Maddox.

It will be some vet journeyman who really does not have a chance at landing a starting gig elsewhere.

No great names, although I am sure if they get someone people will be wigging out and screaming...they just need to realize that it will not be anyone special.

 

[BLT]

tommy maddox would have just been a quick fix... i bet we draft a QB pretty high because we need insurance behind romo and it doesnt hurt having a young good QB as a trading chip... i'd love to grab some 1 in the 3rd or 4th.

If Drew Hensons available I say bring him back.

He never got to show he couldnt play... He just wasnt better than Bledsoe or Romo.

I think we should bring him into training camp and see how he does and if he sucks then cut him but if the new coaching staff see's something then he could be a back up.

If David Carr is released outright ...... I say go for it .... maybe Garrett could get his confidence back ....

But I am sure someone will throw big money at carr to start ....(see Raiders)

 

[CATCH17]

What about Patrick Ramsey? Does he have a future with the Jets since they have Clemmons and Pennington?

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Tim Rattay .

Man would that ever stir the hornets up.

A big NO to Maddox. No way would I want that guy backing up Romo.

Now, I do like the backup for the Steelers, Rattay, or Ramsey. Those are good suggestions in my opinion.

 

[Yeagermeister]

If Maddux is the best we can do we are screwed if Romo gets hurt. I have a better arm than Maddux since he hurt his elbow.

The Texans can't wait to lose him. They'll demand a third rounder.
Jerra never saw a high-draft pick that didn't pan out that he didn't like.
So Jerra will go after him.

I'm not saying getting Carr is a good thing, boys and girls.

I'm just saying that jerra is enamored with "big names."

And Wade Phillips won't question Jerra's wants the way Parcells did. Kinda scary if you really think about it.

I wouldn't mind Carr.

Either of the McKown brothers or Patrick Ramsey interest me a little. They all grew up as fans. Would they love to fulfill their childhood dreams?

Trent Dilfer doesn't cause friction and is a character guy.

Plummer may be closest to how Romo plays as far as getting out of the pocket, but I don't want him.

No way on Ricky Ray. Bad idea.

Tim Rattay .

That makes some sense.

But my money is on Doug Johnson -- he was with mini-Bum in Atl and is a good backup. Rattay is the same kind of player - but with fewer ties here.

Doug never struck me as being a Jason Garrett clone, and since we have the real thing, shouldn't we let him decide what kind of backup QB we need?

I'd rather we have a backup with the skills to win games, if need be. In that vein, if Bledslow wanted one more year here, I'd let him stay. If not, I'd wish Drew the best.

 

[Doomsday101]

I expect that Dallas will look for a vet QB to sit behind Romo, I would also hope we use a pick in the draft to bring in another young QB.

 

[CF74]

Man I wouldn't mind Carr as a back up, and I bet he wouldn't either..

 

[Jarv]

How about Simms ?

I'm torn between a veteran backup like a Damon Huard, and going with a young QB like Kevin Kolb or Jordan Palmer to develop in the 3rd round range...

However, this time you are completely right, the Boys are gonna need a solid backup for Romo...

 

[silverbear]

If he's available, he'd be a good option...

I think any rookie should be at most 3rd string when your on a playoff run. Especially since we wont be taking a guy early.

I think a veteran is just the smart way to go.
