Wants to retire, but Cowboys don't want him to. Probably at Jerry's insistence IMO

He's Jerry's security blanket.

If his heart isn't in it, why do we want him here???

 

[cmd34(work)]

Seems like an easy choice, move on.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

Do we save any money if he quits?

 

[Sheik]

Who in the hell tries to talk a backup QB out of retirement?

 

[junk]

You'd save money if you ditched him. I'd have no issue with him leaving. The team is f'ed is Romo is out anyway.

We're stupid.

And by we, of course I mean Jerry. Probably Red, too.

I'm getting the feeling we fucked up by not taking Manziel.

My thoughts exactly...

This shit is embarrassing. Let him retire. Go sign another vet.

 

[Jon88]

Good. Him and his 3 mil per year salary can walk. He sucks.

Have you read the lawsuit yet?

Yep. I don't dislike Orton at all but if he doesn't want to play, let him go. I think Hanie or Weeden slug it out for the #2 spot and keep the big (UDFA) rookie at #3. We live or die with Romo so the difference between Orton vs Hanie or Weeden doesn't really matter.

Lot of people at zone think he's trying to force the team to cut him so he doesn't have to pay money back to the team.

I don't understand why he'd have to pay anything.

Every time i hear the name Orton, i think of the pass he tried to throw to Miles.

Weeden is the Cowboys backup. What a scary thought. I watch about 10 full games of this guy last year. He is terrible.

Well that's because Cleveland is horrible [\CZ]

 

[NoShame]

Not trying to be that guy but here's a fun fact: Weeden started 5 games last year.

I will agree that he does suck donkey dick.

Well he did play in 8 games. Hoyer was hurt at the start of the Bills game. Campbell was hurt twice. I also watched his first game of 2012 against the Eagles where he had a 5.1 rating.

True but they did have a few weapons in Gordon and Cameron. They guy has no spark to him. Offense looks lifeless. Throws too many check downs, is inaccurate and has poor pocket presence. I dont know how he was considered a first rounder.

Not exactly relative to the OP,but this is a weird fact.
Since Kitna became active right there at the end of 2013,the Cowboys had 3 of the 29 top rated active passers on the team last year.
1500 minimum career atts and active during 2013 got us Romo(4)Neckbeard Kyle(22) and Kitna(26).
ESPN's QBR had Romo at 12 and the other two not mentioned,although that stat was for 2013 only.
ESPN's top QBR guy last year?Josh McCown.
Carry on.
