We still never addressed backup QB

[percyhoward]

We drafted Zeke in large part to make it easier on Romo's backup/eventual replacement.

Can anyone who is complaining please illuminate us on who they wanted to backup Romo? Sanchez? Griffin? Kaepernick?

Wentz or Goff in a trade up; yes, next year's 1st included or give up the 3rd for Lynch that SEA wanted. It was there this past draft...we got Jaylon who could be great next season and Collins who has good potential. But no immediate defensive help either or future QB for Romo to groom; we know JG/Wilson aren't the pair to do so as was disturbingly proven last year.

It was FAR cheaper to move up from 4 this draft compared to mid round 1st next draft as we saw w/PHI and STL/LA. We mocked them for doing so but are planning to do it next season? Kaaya will be likely be gone the way he is progressing and plays the pro style O you want in a college QB prospect.

Or we tank and hope for the #1 pick which I don't like at all (if Romo goes down long term again) and is another year older; he would likely just hang it up if that were to occur.

They all could have been had

No...Fitzpatrick made it clear that he wants to start, and he wants starter money.

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.

Floaty liked your post when you clearly bashed Moore... Is he OK?

I always love the "whatever we do is right" crowd.

"We" don't even feel great about the QB situation.

Stephen Jones, after watching Tyrion Lannister stink up the last few games last year, said addressing the back-up QB position is one of our top priorities.
"That's going to be No. 1 on our list, how do we do that better in the future."

Jerry Jones came out of the draft regretting not making the move to get Paxton Lynch.
"...But if I had to do it all over again? I’d give the three.”

"We" have no idea what "we" are doing.

The Lannister comment is killing me...

We may have messed up with our backup QBs, but any backup QB should have won us some games..

The coaching was predicated on playing conservative, hoping the defense would generate TOs better positioning us to get some points, while not switching things up defensively either.

Coaching all around was awful. You can't just blame the back-ups.

Not if the play callers decide we're going to let the defense know what we're doing on every play.

That year was probably the absolute worst year we experienced coaching wise.

And it was all around bad, offense and defense. FGs and our world class kicker was our only redemption.

I'm personally not a fan of Kellen Moore but the FO appears intent upon giving him the benefit of any doubts that they may (or may not) have by their refusal to sign a vet QB. They are also doggedly committed nowadays to economizing to overcome their cap problems of the past.

Any tendency to spend the capital necessary to acquire an experienced and successful vet backup QB doesn't appear to be in their plans for 2016. I'm pretty sure they'd be likely to take a chance on utilizing Prescott to spell Moore if he went down in addition to Romo.
