good backup signing for them

 

[BigRedRage]

wanted him over kolb.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Derek Anderson was re-signed by the Panthers.

Guess they needed someone to pose as Clark Kent.

 

[Lorenzo]

great signing. when Toni broke his ribs against SF and had to miss a quarter, it was evident their season was hanging in the balance. kitna was just too old. i liked kitna though. one of the better backups dallas has had in a while.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Toni? I knew he was...

 

[Jersey Girl]

wanted him over kolb.

Me, too.

 

[Lorenzo]

Toni? I knew he was...

hahaha I spelled it that way because he gets hurt a lot. he's tough, but he gets hurt just about every year it seems. when the cardinals broke his pinky it cost dallas their season. they finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I want that Hasslebackerschizercolgh guy if the Titans sign what's that guy's name

Well, we do need a kicker.

And Jason Campbell signed on with the Bears. Josh McCown re-signed with the Bears to be a #3.

Lots of really competitive quarterbacks out there on the market right now.

 

[Lorenzo]

what about green bay's version of kolb? what's his name? is he available or under contract?

 

[Jetstream Green]

You don't want that guy, every since that yacht incident with that underage girl, the commish has been fining that Errol Flynn guy heavy....I doubt he gets on the field

 

[Goldfield]

Me, too.

Me 2, still think he would of been better. Cost less in contract, and in trade. Never know.

 

[wierwolf]

I don't know why this aint getting more coverage. I thought this would be a wakeup call for romo.. But hey. What do I know.

Why'd you have to bring this up?

A year after we're desperate for a QB there are plenty available but when we needed one there were none.

It's like years ago when the player we wanted to draft seemed to always be taken one or two spots before we picked.

 

[crisper57]

Why'd you have to bring this up?

If it had happened last off season we wouldn't have had to pay such a premium for Kolb. Stupid Lockout.

First rule of being a Cards fan. If some event should affect all teams equally, the Cards will find a way to be hurt worse by it.

Seriously?

Orton is below average to good depending on the day. Romo is consistently one of the upper tier QB's week in and week out, he just has the unfortunate circumstance of being on the circus that is the Dallas Cowboys.

His rating last year was 102 and for his career it's 96.9. Second all-time to Aaron Rodgers. Better than Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Joe Montana, Kurt Warner, etc. I know QB rating can be a funny stat, but being ranked ahead of those guys has to mean something.

Orton can't hold a candle to Romo.

If he were on the Cardinals he'd be considered one of the best QB's in football.
