Quote:I feel like they need to be really careful to not overwork his arm again, and if they can do that much he should be able to avoid disaster provided he doesn't have a mental relapse regarding INTs. It sounds like Hackett is going to get to work on our run game, and that should go a long ways toward keeping our qb healthy.


As for him having to earn a spot, well it all depends on who they bring in. Most likely he remains the unquestioned starter, but what if they bring in Nick Foles? In that case I think you'd have to let them compete.



That said, let me again stress that if I were GM, I'm trading a fourth round pick or whatever it takes to acquire Romo, and would let Blake backup Romo as long as Romo is healthy enough to start. I truly feel like a year or two behind Romo where he's mostly on the bench but probably still starts a few games would do wonders for Blake's long-term success.

The problem with Nick foles and all the other FA quarterbacks is that theyre all bad. So if Nick Foles is brought it


A: Blake is better than him and doesnt have to compete for anything

B: Theyre both equally bad and a pseudo competition plays out in the media until Blake is officially named starter by the end of the offseason when really hes our 3rd overall pick and was never going to lose his job to a bad free agent.


The idea for competition sounds nice in theory but it isnt real. Blake is the QB for 2017 until he plays so bad that he cant possibly start anymore.


Im all for the Romo trade but that ship has sailed in my opinion.
