Question: hello brandon, I think if the cowboys see they arent going to the playoffs, they should consider trading romo to a team for a draft pick in the 1st round, they should to get a QB that could come in and start and go with youth, you just said that it would be a few years before they replace the injured cowboys, lee, austin, defensive linemen and go with youth, your thoughts of what we could get by trading romo.

Brandon George: The Cowboys can't trade Romo. It's not possible because of the salary cap/dead money situation they would face with getting rid of Romo. Romo is here for AT LEAST for the next two seasons no matter what happens. Also, the NFL trade deadline has come and gone.

Question: will claiborne go down as possibly the biggest bust over the last decade in the nfl?

Brandon George: I still believe it's too early to call Morris Claiborne a bust. Sure, he's a nickel cornerback right now after being the first defensive player selected in the 2012 draft. So, that's not good. You can't spend a first- and second-round pick (remember they gave up that for trading up to get Claiborne) for a nickel cornerback. But he still has time to recover and be a good cornerback in the NFL. This new scheme hasn't been a good fit for him.

Question: Do you think that JG and JJ coaches from week to week based on fan and commentators reaction to games, we dont run, we run, its a joke.

Brandon George: No, I don't. That doesn't factor into their game plans.

Question: What was that last week when Romo moved Dez into the slot? Was that Tony's backyard game ? As in his creativity which also shows the lack of it from the coaching staff.

Brandon George: That's just finding a better matchup for Dez and giving him a shot to get a ball thrown his way. Hey, whatever it takes.

Question: Hi Brandon, is Jerry Jones too loyal to his players?

Brandon George: I think you could make that argument. Especially aging players. Jerry has tended to pay age more so than other NFL GMs/owners. It's never a good idea to give contract extensions of aging players, north of 30. Jerry has a tough time saying goodbye. Heck, he still holds onto those Super Bowl memories. You do remember those three Super Bowls, don't you?
