Cowboys not looking for backup QB
Jerry Jones downplayed the possibility of the Cowboys finding a QB to bump Brad Johnson down the depth chart. "We really are moving along here real good," Jerry said when asked about acquiring a QB via trade or the waiver wire. "I can't give that a high likelihood." Jerry added that the Cowboys' priority regarding the backup QB was giving Brad Johnson more time with the starters. If Johnson plays during the regular season, it'll be behind an offensive line featuring three Pro Bowlers, so the plan is to get him more reps with that group protecting him. Wade Phillips mentioned the same thing during his press conference.

The offensive line had nothing to do with the interception Johnson threw to a wide open DB with not a Cowboy receiver even even in the picture frame! I had flashbacks and had to do a double take to make sure that wasn't Drew Bledsoe back there! We need a backup QB JJ, don't screw this up!

I'm sure jerry will eventually get someone half-decent to hold the clip board.

Romo's free-lancing nature in roaming outside the pocket makes backup QB a little more significant than simply holding a clip board!

Jerry Jones will sign someone. The Bucs have like 4 or 5 QBs, they gotta cut someone.

What's he going to say? Of course they're looking for a different back-up. Jerry's always looking for ways to improve his team. But, he isn't going to say anything unless he is about to sign that person.

They should be looking for a starter.........Tony Romo?....What has he proved? He certainly proved he can lose big games, highly overrated, just like his girlfriend.

Jerry, please dood, get a backup. Simms wants to come home, give him a call. It doesn't matter how much talent you put on this team, if Romo goes down, it's all over. Sorry Brad, you're just really old.

Exactly, what is he going to say? It's like working for a company and they know they are going to layoff 1/3 of the workers. When asked about it they say, "We don't have any immediate plans to cut anyone." In their minds they are telling the truth because the cut isn't coming today but 3 days from now. Until you are cut you don't get the word unless in a case such as sports you hear about trade rumors.

The real question here is , can anyone name what other team in the NFL Johnson would be a backup on when he is cut?
