"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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
