"Quarterback is the strength of our team"...

...says Cowboys owner Jerry Jones :lol:

 

Jones said that with Romo as the starter, Kyle Orton as the backup and Brandon Weeden as the third-stringer, he feels great about where they are at the most important position in football.

“That’s the strength of our team, position-wise. Tony, Kyle Orton and then Weeden — we like him as a development project,” Jones said. “We feel good about Tony’s health. His back is everything we would want it to be at this time. So we feel very strong about the edge that our quarterbacking gives us.”

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett agreed with that, saying he was on the field with Romo today and that Romo has progressed to the point where he can drop back and throw.

 

Asked whether the Cowboys will use a draft pick — maybe even a first-round pick — on a quarterback, Jones declined to answer. But he did say that he doesn’t think the Cowboys need any more quarterbacks. Jones likes the ones they have.

 

 

Let's read that one bit again, shall we...

This is the depth chart he feels is "the strength of the team".

 

Oy :unsure:

Romo gets a bad rap in a lot of ways. Career 96 QB rating and 65 pct completion rate....not bad really. He's cost the team some wins but so has the coaching and management.

 

QB play is far from being the issue with that team.

I thought this was Panther related and in that case I would agree

 

QB is a strength for us.

 

Jones here says "the strength", not "a strength".  Now granted, I don't know how careful Jones generally is with his word selection, but taken at face value it would mean he believes that is their strongest, deepest position.

 

(on that point, I would beg to differ)

Quoted for accuracy.

Romo is nowhere near as bad as a lot of y'all (and everyone else) makes him out to be. He's actually pretty good... he just happens to be part of Jerrah Jones circus that is the Dallas Cowboys.

That just makes it cool to hate on him I guess.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
