Why Isn't Brooks Bollinger In?

[cowboys5]

IM almost positive he can throw the ball much harder and he is
way more mobil than brad. Brad was lucky he didnt throw 6 pics
that game vs the rams.
brad had no good throws.​

If we see more of the same from Brad throughout the first half, I see no reason why Bollinger won't or shouldn't be in there for the second half.

As an aside, was Bollinger not active against the Rams? If he was it was a horrible decision not to let him in there at some point in the second half to at least see what he has to offer. Another bad move by our staff.

I tend to agree with you there. If it didn't work, the coaching staff could say they were just "saving" Brad for next week.

If we fall behind again....

I can see Bollinger brought in.....Johnson doesnt have the arm to bring this team back from 2 scores IMHO.

Johnson = busdriver

Because it's Tuesday night and there's no football.........

You're too nice. Johnson=waiting for the bus to see a busdriver. He had his time and I was one of the fans that rallied behind him with my slogan firmly in hand...."He won't lose the game for ya." Well, he certainly didn't help matters. :


Crow. It's what's for breakfast................

 

[sbark]

BB was the emergency 3rd QB......only eligible to enter the game in the case Johnson & Romo went down........

and the Cowboys made a decision not to play Romo

 

[Hoofbite]

hes been on the team a month......end of story.

 

[Disturbed]

Johnson stunk it up...Bollinger should get a chance to play if Romo can't go.

Time to start cutting the deadweight to send a message to the team. Old vets not performing should be let go....

You really can't be serious about Bollinger, can you?

How desperate are you?

I'm really wondering if the pro-Bollinger contingent has ever seen him play.

 

[jobberone]

Johnson didn't play well but his problem was Williams really didn't know what to do and had never played with out QBs, Johnson didn't get the protection he needed. He's not mobile and isn't going to invent plays and escape too much pressure. He's limited there, limited in throwing it down the field very far effectively that is, and he doesn't have the field awareness Romo has nor can he get thru his reads that quickly and has a slower release.

brad had no good throws.​

IM almost positve that he is the third string quarter back
for a reason and that reason would be he sucks and is
worse then brad.
Brook is also has no good throws.

damn i failed to make the haiku

[TwoDeep3]

If you are going to pick apart the Johnson choice at QB now that Romo is hurt, then shouldn't the real question be where is Chris Simms? Why wasn't he brought in and Bollinger sent to the practice squad?

I can understand the anti-Johnson faction. But to leap from the frying pan into the fire with Bollinger is absurd.

Simms seems to have this pariah label attached, but he is better than either of those guys. And with six weeks to learn this system, he surely would have put up something better than Bradly.

That's what I was thinking myself.

For the record, Bollinger was picked up pretty much AFTER preseason ended...so it's not like there was a bidding war for his services early in the offseason.

Really-this speaks for itself...if we were the only ones going after him, then what makes him so special to begin with?

That was soooooo close to being Mickey-esque.

 

[dallasfaniac]

Johnson's arm wasn't the question, it was getting the ball out in time. He has a window to throw the ball through and with it coming out late, it was behind receivers. Taking all of the snaps rather than Romo trying to see if he could go, combined with Roy Williams working an extra week should help him out a bit. If we shorten out the routes, he can get rid of the ball sooner and not take sacks, stalling drives, etc. Next we just have to look at the running game which has been predictable.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

If BJ plays, I will watch peaking between my fingers with my eyes covered. I seriously don't think that he's capable of playing quarterback in the NFL anymore.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Just to clarify

The emergency qb can play any time but if he does one of the other two qb's can not come back in to the game until the 4th quarter......unless the rule has been changed

He is so good that Tennessee cut him and brought him back. You do not play roster games with players you believe can play and that is exactly what the Titans did with him. As far as I can see, Simms is headed towards Joey Harrington territory. A name the average fan recognizes, but someone who is more reputation than anything else.
