Why would we have four? Weeden is easily cuttable. And frankly, I'm not even sure he'll make the final roster. He seems more like a needed camp arm to me. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if we went in to the season only carrying two.
He is on the roster regardless of expectations.
Not yet, he's not.
I was under the impression he was signed. He hasn't been released so it seems to me he currently is on the roster.
My point is, he hasn't made the gameday roster, so I'm not counting on him for anything.
I understand but right or wrong he was put in place prior to the draft so it makes me think that the strategy is to delay a QB draft consideration this season.
Right, and it was stated that it's ridiculous to do so. To which I agreed.
It may be ridiculous but it was done. I'm not agreeing with the strategy I am just trying to understand what it means and my take is that Dallas doesn't feel the need to look for Romo' s replacement this draft.
Except for Seattle, Dallas, and New England, everyone else failed until they used a top pick at the position.
Show us some real cases where this approach has worked.
But the rate cases are what you're shooting for with those mid to late round picks. And for the most important position on the field it's worth the risk of the low pick to try for one every year.
Seattle and New England huh...pretty good teams.
I think you know the cases where it did work, and where qb's were flipped for picks, so I won't bother looking them up. What I'm saying is GM's should be drafting qb's every year. I don't even care if you wait til the 7th round to draft them. Just draft at least one. It's better than looking for special teams help late in the draft.
That's stupid. There's no point in drafting a guy who will never get enough snaps to develop or evaluate. Development in general just isn't something the NFL does any more. It's not the 1970s. You get guys in, they either catch on and get ready to play quick or they are on their way out the door.
