"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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
