swickles: Aug 21, 2006; I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just some QB that I used to know

Can the Cowboys even deal Romo? If they take JFF (assuming the Titans don't) is he just gonna be on the bench.

They're really making GBS threads on this dude's blocking. Is he seriously worse than average for a pass-catching TE?

yeah he was basically a WR in college. Evans is a better blocker IMO

He only gets it if he can prove it was because he was hurt or sick. And insurance is a scam, so they'll go to the greatest extents possible to argue that it wasn't.

Well, the top 10 got interesting in a big hurry. Manziel falls past the three teams most likely to draft him, and JFF and CJ Mosley are still on the board.

Well there line was good and Pettigrew will be in on blocking plays anyways. They'll use Ebron like Graham.

Yea pretty much, Romo's done if he doesn't want to wind up a literal cripple, it's sad but needed.

That's even worse than I heard. Is he going to play at all? I've heard 0 Cowboys news this off-season other than "our salary cap is hosed"

Cleveland made a strong effort to trade up again to No. 11 just now. But ultimately, Browns just bailed. Titans picking.

Serious post: his back apparently was really, really hosed up at the end of the season. I remember hearing rumors swirling about how he might not have much time left in the NFL.

Which sucks, because Romo's a cool dude.

Yeah, local reporter and former QB Babe Laufenberg, a guy who is friends with both Garrett and Romo, was saying recently that he doesn't think Romo will be capable of playing another full season in his career

I bet they picked him as reactionary based on not getting Watkins or Evans. Eh we'll see. I don't like it either.

TEs block anymore?

Part of why TEs have been so effective as hot reads is because they at least chip on many plays, which not only sets up time for the QB, but can also force the DE to make a choice if it's done well enough. He has to continue his rush OR drop back on the TE OR spy the RB possibly leaking on a wheel route.
