Strength.
It's a strength.
It's a strength.
So, Ratliff misses at least the first 6 games. Awesome.
God dammit, I really gotta start reading the whole thread before posting.Ratliff to PUP... that means he's out till week 6?
Great.
Nah, we will just sign him to a long backloaded contract that will hurt our future cap even more.They put Crawford and Ryan Cook on IR.
That means we are stuck with Cook's $1M plus contract. Hopefully we reach an injury settlement with him to lessen the blow.
Brad Johnson started 3 freaking games for us the next year and another win would have gotten us into the playoffs. FUCK YOU GOOF SON!“With all due respect to Matt Moore, I don’t know if we let anything get out of here that is going to win us playoff games,” Jones said. “Anyway, I just hadn’t seen that we let something get out of here that was something we needed to have. He went on to be a roster player and made some starts. I don’t know necessarily, though, if it would have made a difference in our plight.”
In other words...With Tanney decision perhaps necessary, Stephen Jones downplays loss of Matt Moore six years ago
The Cowboys lost a gamble with Matt Moore six years ago when they cut him with the idea of re-signing him to the practice squad, only to have Carolina claim him the next day.
So executive vice president Stephen Jones was asked Tuesday if the organization learned a lesson from the experience, considering they may face a similar decision with Alex Tanney.
“With all due respect to Matt Moore, I don’t know if we let anything get out of here that is going to win us playoff games,” Jones said. “Anyway, I just hadn’t seen that we let something get out of here that was something we needed to have. He went on to be a roster player and made some starts. I don’t know necessarily, though, if it would have made a difference in our plight.”
Moore, 28, is 13-12 in 25 starts with the Panthers and Miami. He threw for 2,497 yards, 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 12 starts with the Dolphins in 2011, going 6-6. He is the backup right now to Ryan Tannehill.
The Cowboys cut Nick Stephens on Tuesday, leaving three quarterbacks on the roster. Coach Jason Garrett has said the Cowboys would like to have a developmental quarterback along with starter Tony Romo and backup Kyle Orton.

Are you really surprised about Stephens?What?
I'm not.I was surprised he was in camp in the first place.
It's surprising that he was cut in this round of cuts, not that he would've eventually been cut. It's surprising he was cut before final cutdowns simply because that means Tanney will likely have to play the entire final game. It also means if Tanney gets hurt they'll have to risk playing Orton.Are you really surprised about Stephens?
I think Stephen was saying the same thing you said in your last sentence. And it's right.That's an idiotic take from Stephen considering what we are paying Kyle Orton to be a backup here.
That being said, I'm not gonna let the ghost of Matt Moore scare me into keeping Tanney.
That's easy to say when the ghost of Matt Moore is a better QB than the non-ethereal one.........I think Stephen was saying the same thing you said in your last sentence. And it's right.

Meaning he's one of those that everyone thinks we should have kept. "We shouldn't have let Moore go" yada yada yada.....when he wasn't very good anyway.Seriously. What?
The point is Moore would have made a perfect backup QB and the millions spent on Johnson, Kitna, and Orton could have helped solidify other parts of the team.Meaning he's one of those that everyone thinks we should have kept. "We shouldn't have let Moore go" yada yada yada.....when he wasn't very good anyway.
Tanny will be better than Moore.
