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

[Mr. Scot]

...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...

 

with Romo as the starter, Kyle Orton as the backup and Brandon Weeden as the third-stringer

 

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

 

Oy :unsure:

Romo's contract is too big for them to draft another QB.

[The Huddler]

Draft Manziel

[Mr. Scot]

Draft Manziel

 

I would love it.

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

[The Huddler]

The guy is a choke artist. He sucks. -> cowboys suck -> I love it

Cowboy fans suck

[Mr. Scot]

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)

I would watch Ryan Mallet carefully on draft day.  Hes going somewhere, and I dont rule out the cowboys

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.

[run1stdownrun2nddown]

Weeden as a 30 y/o "development project". Classic

[PantherWake]

Give Romo a gotdamn defense and maybe he wouldn't so much.

 

Btw I hate the Cowboys so I hope they don't
