Fitz & Palmer contemplating retirement

[unseenaz]

yeah... if Palmer retires, I might make a play for Romo, especially if Fitz is along for the ride. Without him, that's a tough call. romo throwing to Brown, Nelson and a likely high pick seems pretty risky, especially since we'll probably have to give up a high pick to get him because someone desperate will throw a good pick at Dallas.

With our o-line? Might wanna get glennon too when romo inevitably gets hurt

Glennon is 6-15 as a starter. That's the only stat that matters. No thank you

Agreed.

Drew Stanton is 6-3 as a starter. Put him in coach, he is ready to play!

 

[Finito]

Glennon's first yeah he ended with a 84 rating

19 TD 9 INT in 13 games

That's pretty damn good for a rookie QB.

McCarron was excellent in college at turning around and handing the ball over to one of his monster running backs and not making mistakes. Not horrible, but not a guy who's going to take us to the next level.

Palmer and Fitzgerald retire. Cardinals then go, "look at all this extra money". Cardinals then make sure Campbell is going nowhere, say why not and retain both Jefferson and Swearinger, and even sign Chandler Jones long term instead of using the franchise tag. Draft comes and free agency swings into gear, and the Cards do not stop bolstering the defense. Then we get McCarron, who is excellent handing the ball off to our monster running back David Johnson and not making mistakes. Not horrible, but enough with our defensive talent and David Johnson to take us to the next level and win a championship

Yee Ha!

If Fitz and Palmer hang it up, I think you gotta look at Romo and try and draft Mike Williams at #13.

If Glennon or McCarron were considered NFL starters, or in demand, they would have been dealt by now. You really think a team wouldn't give up a 2nd or 3rd round choice for a guy they thought could be their QBOF? And, if any team offered a 2nd round pick for Glennon or McCarron, their bags would have been packed a long time ago and they'd be on another squad today.

Look at all the junk that was out there at the QB position, hell Matt Barkley started. Glennon and McCarron are considered in that same group right now. SF went with Gabbert and Kaep rather than facilitate a trade. The Jets stuck with Fitzpatrick and Geno. The Browns chose to pursue RG rather than those two.

They are limited QB's who may fill in nicely for a short period but once teams get film on them and gameplan for their deficiencies, they'll likely struggle. See almost every QB in that scenario who moved to another team and struggled mightily in Scott Mitchell, Osweiler, the GB kid who went to Seattle, and so on and so on.

Conversely, if a guy can play, teams know it and will pay the price. That's why GB was willing to give up a 1st rounder for Favre even though threw all of four passes in Atlanta.

So you're saying that Glennon & McCarron are bad QBs?

Glennon's first yeah he ended with a 84 rating

19 TD 9 INT in 13 games

That's pretty damn good for a rookie QB.

what about nick foles with eagles, something like 20 td pass and just 2 interception?

is rome is coming free yes , in the case u have to give back a pick or 2 , no worthy considering his age and his issues staying healthy

Didn't realize Arians was playing on the offensive line.....explains a lot of this team's offensive woes.

You are making it too simple Rugby, Arians could have done some more in pass protection to reduce the number of times Palmer got hit. Instead he never or almost never had additional blockers besides the Oline to block on pass plays. When your Oline is decimated by injuries you really should consider keeping a back in and/or using 2 TEs to help out. A blocking FB would have done wonders to reduce the number of times Palmer got hit. Arians is at the very least partly responsible for the number of hits on Palmer.

Romo has had so many back problems that he is always one hit from ending up on IR again. He has only played in 5 games in the last two years. Yes I know some of them was because of Prescott playing well and the Jones not wanting to make a change. That withstanding, I think he is just too fragile and putting him in Arians offense where the QB is expected to get hit and pretty often, I wouldn't see him lasting more than 4-5 games before he would be on IR again. Even if Romo fits Arians offense from a skill standpoint he doesn't fit it from a physical standpoint.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Two questions. Why would anyone want Romo when his shoulders and back are shot and there is no way he could even play half the season or be expected to learn Arian's system well enough at his age in the few games he would even be on the field? Second, why would anyone want to trade for Romo when Dallas is going to have to cut him anyways because he makes too much money for a backup and he is not taking a pay cut

Romo fits no team's offense from a physical standpoint anymore... dude should retire, unless they reduce the season to seven games

Multiple reporters just tweeted:

Fitzgerald did say he had pretty much made up his mind what he wants to do. He'll take "a couple more days, a couple more weeks" to mull.


Its over. He's retiring. Nobody sets a press conference to say they are coming back (excluding Favre). Only retirement announcements require delay and scheduled conferences.

 

[PJ1]

Agreed.

Drew Stanton is 6-3 as a starter. Put him in coach, he is ready to play!

Would have us picking in the top 5 for sure.

Did they say he will have a press conference?

 

[ajcardfan]

Larry can do whatever he wants...

But he is 200 catches behind Tony Gonzalez for #2 all time. I have to think being 2nd on thAt list next to Jerry rice is very appealing to him.

 

[Dude]

Yes what press conference is this?

 

[Bodha]

Read between the lines:

He already decided, but doesnt want to announce yet.


So he already decided, but hes going to force the team to wait and delay draft/free agency strategy? I think not. The team needs to know ASAP. He knows that, yet he's still delaying.

Hes retiring

 

[Mitch]

I think Fitz doesn't want to draw any attention to himself during Super Bowl week. If he was coming back, such an announcement at this time wouldn't be much of a distraction during Super Bowl week. However, his retirement announcement would great quite a good deal of attention and that is likely why he is waiting to announce his intentions.

If true than IMO so is CP. Still no offical press conference so I will hold on to hope.

Retirement = Press Conference
Coming back = Press Release
