So I ask you yet again...what makes you think that adding one of these 'vets' that are currently sitting around scratching their arses is going to solve the situation? Why in god's name would you wait until AFTER Romo goes down to find a replacement? You do realize that you can have a vet AND a young QB to groom, don't you?
CLEARLY you're missing the point, OUR TEAMS PHILOSOPHY isn't to grrom any young Q.B. going by us keeping only 2 Q.b.s in Romo and Johnson and only recently keeping 3 with Brooks Bollinger, so if it was up to ME, I'd grrom a young Q.B., but that's not what our teams plan is, GET IT????
And if Romo goes down permanently, we THEN draft a Q.B. to replace him.
I wasn't aware that you were privy to all of the Cowboy's team philosophies.
Words can't express how thankful I am that our FO has more common sense than you. Every GM in the NFL would laugh in your face if you expressed this idea to them.
LOL, LIKE I SAID, it's called COMMON SENSE and going by our history, I thought ANY MORON would know that was our teams philosophy based on us keeping only 2 Q.b.'s in Romo and Brad Johnson and only adding Bollinger as a 3rd Q.B. this year, ANOTHER VET, but APPARENTLY I guess you are cluelss to the FACTS!
Do I need to go into more detail? What about picking up a mid/late round QB and grooming him while Romo continues to play doesn't make sense to you?
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME, and if it was up to me I'd certainly do that, but going by our past history since Romo emerged, that's not been our philoophy, unless you know something I don't, I'm going by what our team has done in the past few years as far as a backup Q.B., and it's CLEAR AS DAY to anyone with half a brain that's not the route we are taking.
Worst case scenario, the guy suck and we get rid of him. If he can play, and Romo's career is still going strong, then we get a good return on the investment i.e. Matt Schaub. If he can really play and Romo gets hurt again, then we have a capable backup, and someone that can take the helm if Romo should happen to retire. It's been common practice in the NFL for years.
Common place in the NFL, and listen guy, I AGREE WITH YOU, I think we SHOUDL DO THAT, but as you said, it's common practice int he NFL, but NOT COMMON PRACTICE for the COWBOYS, I.E. that's why I don't see us drafting a Q.B. since the past few years tells me that we are just happy with Romo as the starter and using a vet to back him up!
Once again, I must reiterate how stupid this practice would be. It sure as hell is a need if you can't find a capable backup in FA. How have we been doing there lately?
NO ROOKIE is gonna be capable backup Q.B., and like I said for the 100th time, I WOULD DRAFT A YOUNG Q.B. TO GROOM, but that's NOT what our philosophy has been the pst few years and I don't see that changing.
...and let's not get away form your original assessment that we will not be drafting ANY QB, RB, TE, or WR's for the next 3-5 years...which in itself is an immeasurably absurd comment. Our needs have changed in the past 3-5 weeks, and you're arrogant enough to think they won't in the next 3-5 years.
It wasn't meant literrally, it was more of a comment on we are deep enough at those positions and with most all of the players at those positions under contract for at least next 3 years, I don't see why we would be drafting one, OF COURSE there could be injuries, and of course we could hypothetically draft one in the later rounds as a flier, but the point was that we are so deep and most all are under contract for the next few years that we really don't have to draft one barring injury.
Once again, you haven't the slightest idea what this team is thinking. We currently employ 4 QB's. You think they aren't kicking themselves in the *** for not keeping Moore? for not keeping 3 capable QB's this year? I'd bet they are. It's a gamble, and they lost on it this time. I'd bet they're damn well thinking about finding a young guy with some talent.
I know what they were thinking tyhe past few years, and based off of that, I assume we'll be keeping Romo and a good vet to back him up based on the past few years, ycould our philosophy change, sure, and maybe it will, but I don't see it happening, we lost moore BECAUSE we didn't put him on our roster THUS that was our philosophy to keep Romo and ONE VET to back him up, couldit change, sure, but I'm going off the past to assume the future at this point in time till I see different.
,
If you think a #1 receiver with 30 catches, 431 yards, and 5 TD's is a good thing, then you're the one that doesn't know football. He's played poorly the last few games. He's still a good player, but he's not what he used to be.
UM, I'm sorry, did you not get the news that Tony Romo got hurt and Brad Johnson sucks balls??????????
Ummm....guess what? He's currently playing in his 3rd year here.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???
We have ONE WR 'set in stone', and that's #11. Crayton is highly movable with only 6 million guaranteed. Owens' contract is up this offseason. Who know what happens there.
LOL, you want to argue with me and don't even know Owens signed a 3 year extension?
I'm done with you, I can't argue with someone who doesn't even know the most basic things about the cowboys as Owens re-signing!
You're getting a little jumpy on Austin. He's looked pretty good for sure, but he hasn't proven anything yet.
When he played, he's proven he can get it done, bottom line, he's our #4 W.R. and as far as #4 W.R.'s go, he's pretty damn good!
I just don't get too excited about slow, average, 2 down linebackers. His contract is up in 2 years, so I don't see how this fits in your 3-5 year scenario either.
I never mentiond I.L.B. set in sonte for next 3years GET IT RIGHT, but what can I expect form someone who thinks Owens contract is up after this year! LOL
I love Thomas, I wish we had signed him four years ago...but the man will be 36 years old next year. He's already slowing. He spends half his day on the training table getting stretched by and assistant so he doesn't get hurt due to age as it is now. He's not getting younger, and he certainly won't be here for your aforementioned 3-5 year period that we are 'set in stone' at linebacker. One more year, tops.
I AGREE, he's good for one more year, but once again, I didn't mention L.B. as 3-5 years, but what do I expect from a cowboys fan who doesn't even know we re-signed Owens to a contract extension, have you been living in a CAVE??
Oi! Our receivers and our linebackers are older than our o-lineman, and you can't see the need for either one in the next 3-5 years?
NEVER SAID THAT ABOUT L.B.'s DUMMY, GET IT RIGHT!
As far as W.R.'s, our TOP 3 W.R.'s are under contract for at least 3 years!
BUT of course you don't knwo that since you probably don't know we signed Crayton to a contract extension either since you didn't even know we re-signed Owens, which any half twit cowboys fan who doesn't even pay attention would know that!
OG, DE or NT depending on what we want to do with Ratliff next year, and safety are needs...no doubt...but to say that QB, WR, and ILB aren't is ********. But whatever floats your boat i guess
********?
******** is not knowing we re-signed Owens, so I'll ask you again, if we have Owens, Crayton and Roy Williams under contract, our TOP 3 W.R.'s for at least the next 3 years, HOW ON EARTH do you figure that's a NEED????????
I'm done arguing with you, whatever floats your boat, but for me to further waste my time arguing with someone about the cowboys who doesn't even know we re-signed Owens is just ********! LOL
