We still never addressed backup QB

[TheFinisher]

Despite all the feel goods Moore provided to some in the finale, he has no business being the primary backup QB for an NFL team. It is absolutely insane that this front office neglected to bring in a veteran signal caller after the season we just witnessed.

Unless they think Prescott is ready for that role right now, but I highly doubt it.

Are you comfortable with our backup QB situation if Romo gets hurts?

 

[viman96]

The FO did address the backup position even if you do not agree with it. Also they could very well still sign a vet as cuts happen before the season begins. As for Moore, I'd like to see how he performs in TC and a couple of Preseason games. He moved the offense last year and seemed to give the offense some life.

 

[Risen Star]

No and I'm not comfortable with our future at QB either and that's a far bigger concern.

The GM will always be the biggest issue with this team until a real one is ever hired. This is priority #2. As good as Zeke Elliott is, and I'm becoming a fan boy of EZE, he does not matter with a bum at QB, which is all the Cowboys have behind Romo right now. 3 bums who can't play.

How did they address the backup for 2016? The area they said was critical to address in the offseason. The only player they added is a 4th round rookie. That is not addressing this year's backup.

They didn't do anything. I have no idea what the hell they're thinking.

Zeke is your new Carson as he should be! I agree, the QB mess continues and good luck if or when Romo goes down because it will be over yet again!

 

[Techsass]

Maybe they mistook everyone's acceptance of last season's outcome. As in it's OK if it happens again - we can get another bite at the apple next draft if Romo goes down.

The believe they have something in Moore. They drafted Dak. So from their position they have addressed the backup QB. Now whether we agree with their decisions or not does not mean they did not address it. IMO it is still fluid and if Moore sucks in TC or Preseason games they will be on the hunt for a vet.

 

[jazzcat22]

Well, they still have Showers on the roster....

 

[Cowboy06]

The front office did what they wanted to do. If something happens to Romo, they believe Dak and Kellen will be just fine. I personally hope that they are right.

 

[Proof]

This team over the past few years seems to be too rigid when it comes to improvising. Last year I'd have never imagined in a million years that they would leave the draft without a running back, and yet they did just that because the right value in the right round never lined up. I can understand that to a certain extent and not saying you should reach for need, but in some cases you have to have some flexibility. I get grabbing Gregory over a few of the backs they really liked, thinking that one of them would likely be there the following round, but imo they either needed to trade up in the third to secure one (once they committed to passing in the 2nd) or take one lower down on their board in the third instead of Chaz ****** Green. I'm still really irked behind that situation.

All that to say seems like they had a similar sort of off season in regards to back up QB. Who did they really have an opportunity to sign especially when you see philly giving guys like Daniel 21 mil. Seems like they surveyed the options, didn't like any enough to pursue that hard, and certainly not get into a bidding war, and turned their attn. to the draft. They've got Kellen, added Dak, are assuming Romo shouldn't miss 13 games again, and in the event he does the back up will have a healthy Dez and Zeke. Easy to see the thought process.

Not comfortable with the backup QB spot at all. Hoping they are still in the market should someone be cut or become available via mid to late round draft pick.

 

[pancakeman]

There are starters in this league who I wouldn't want as my backup, so it's not as if game-ready guys are growing on trees. I agree it was an obvious problem and it's frustrating that it's not solved. But at the same time, I'd be more impressed if complaints were accompanied by names of available players. What are the possible solutions?

How many teams have the luxury of having their future QB on the roster, being groomed, etc?

What? Like one or two?

You want something that is pretty rare

 

[Techsass]

The one thing that gives me hope with our backups is that they're both touted as being smart. The question is can the coaching customize the plays mid-stream to their abilities? And if they can, can the rest of the players keep up?

 

[Vinnie2u]

It's like we're too top heavy. Romo goes down.. QB's suck. Dez Goes Down.. WR's suck. Lee goes down LB's Suck. Witten goes down TE's suck. Bad coaching..

That's a bit strong. We haven't even seen Dak play. And I think you are suggesting that people come to the NFL a finished product without the possibility of improving. Moore with full offseason and more importantly a training camp with this team could make leap...or he could not. Either way, we won't know until training camp. As for other two, if Moore doesn't work out I do wonder if the Cowboys would consider employing the option to better suit their skillsets...if so, I think they could have success.

There is nothing wrong with this if that is truly their approach however then you have to fill needs with quality FA and have good talent evaluators in-house

Anyone who said that it was ok for weeden to be the back up going into last season should have been fired on the spot (I mean you Garrett and Jerry btw)

But please don't tell me that I should be happy that the same people who were content with Brad Johnson and Brandon Weeden at back up QB, are also content with going into the season with Kellen Moore and Dak Prescott

This is idiotic in the extreme and no person with a shred of sense would accept it as a fan

 

[BHendri5]

There is nothing wrong with our backup QBs. Kellen Moore is and will be the primary backup and he will do a good job if needed. Dak will be groomed and when it is time he will be the guy and he will be successful.

Thought that is why we drafted Prescott
