You never cease to provide humor on this site.

Lol, well yeah I can see that. But I was just asking for clarification is all. His post seemed to imply that McBriar kicked at the new stadium. But he actually kicked at the Alamodome in San Antonio, and yes I was at training camp most days as I live in SA.

But, what goes without saying is after ALL the media, Peyton Place, Pacman, Tank and T.O drama and BS we were forced to endure last season, if the biggest buzz around the Cowboys is a friggin BACKUP punter clipping the scorebord during a preseason game, then I am a happy guy.

You left out the drama of Romo falling apart at the end of every season and playoffs.

It's not really drama when it's expected

That is kinda like the pot calling the kettle black.
Just peruse JC's stats in the first 6 weeks of last season and compare them to the last 6 weeks.

Of course we cant speak of JC and the playoffs really though now can we? He's gotta get there first.

JC had troubles at the end of one year. Romo melts down EVERY YEAR.

You guys had better start something like 11-1, because between your December schedule and the certainty that Romo will melt down, you guys will fold after Thanksgiving. But at least you'll be able to watch your home losses on a big stadium screen!

sandtrap - I either heard it on ESPN 980's Sports Reporters, or someone mentioned it to me in passing. Wasn't sure if he did testing in the new stadium or not, just heard he was hitting the 100 foot mark regularly.

As far as Jones goes, who knows what his thinking was as far as setting up for different punters vs. setting it for McBriar. All I know is he is either backpedaling and making excuses because of the blunder and sticking to his guns, or he knows the publicity that this will make him and will use it to his advantage. After all, he is a businessman...

As far as Trapasso goes, bet money on him being someone's punter this year, whether it's Tennessee or somewhere else.

I do still think that it wont be as big of an issue as it's being made out to be. There aren't too many people out there who are hitting 5+ second hang time punts consistently. But I guess we'll wait and see...

One year? One Year? Really?????

What is it now 2.5 years as the starting QB of the Redskins? And Romo 3 years as a starter?

Match them up, compare them do anything you want. Did you know that in the same amount of time as a starter, for his career, Romo has 46 more TD's than Campbell..........46!! Higher career rating, more TD passes, more wins.

And if Romo ended up as a free agent most if not all on this forum would be screaming for Snyder to sign him.

And show me any other team in the NFL that tried and FAILED TWICE in the off season to replace thier starting QB. Heck, even Tavaris Jackson didn't have it that bad. And a QB does not get to that point by just having, (and I quote) "troubles at the end of one year". He gets there by having troubles every year.

Lotus · 08-26-2009, 12:21 AM

I could swear that Romo seasoned on the bench for 3 years, a luxury which JC did not have. You also failed to mention turnovers. You are comparing apples to oranges.

But, at the end of the day, there's nothing left to say except, "Enjoy your choker of a quarterback. Have a great December!"

I can promise you all of us wouldn't be screaming to sign him.

Cowgirl fans have ripped DS for years for building a stadium that has seats with an obstructed view, so what does JJ do....

So what does this have to do with your team's owner becoming a bit of a punchline for the past couple of days?

Is this the video that shows that you can see from about the 12 yard line-end zone?

Seriously, Cowboys fans, and the media with it's Cowboys love, make this guy out way better than his production (won games) shows. Is he good in Sep/Oct yes, but I will be curious now that TO is gone how he does. Any other market, and less delusional fan base would have had him out the door after the successive failures. I am pretty sure the loss to Pitt, and Philly debacle last year were all on his shoulders.

I can name several qb's I would "scream for Snyder to sign", Romo is not one of them.

I will re-evaluate, if he ever wins in the post season. (won't be this year though)
