Mondays practice was fun to watch- Big fight

Personally, I'd still like to see Phillips get a crack at QB, if he can get his shoulder right.
But if, for the sake of argument, they decide his shoulder won't respond well enough to treatment to allow him to throw properly. Would that shoulder allow him to take the hits necessary to play at another position?
Wherever he ends up playing, I hope he's healthy first.

His shoulder is fine, and the shot at qb is available for him.

alex is right. i am not sure it was ever that unhealthy. with improvement to the O Line it will be tony. if things stay the same look for romo. now all of that is not taking in consideration coach b's propensity to try and stick the square peg in the round hole...on offense.

I don't know. I also have been told it's fine. But at practice (pre-spring break), he was throwing like it still hurt. Maybe it's fine, but he threw as if it was quite sore.

For what it's worth, the times I've been to practice Chris has been throwing with almost a sidearm motion (ala Tate Wallis). I was with some journalists on the sideline, one of whom remarked, "Well, I guess there was more to that shoulder injury than we originally thought."

Prior to the injury, Chris seemed to me to have had a nice high release.

[Roach]

That's what I remember from his freshman year. He's a tall kid who had a really high release point on his throws. At the practice I saw, he looked a little like Dan Quisenberry (almost).

I may be splitting hairs with you Roach, but the sidearm motion I saw at a couple of recent practices is the same "short arming" passing glitch that Chris has always had in trying to hit the shorter pass routes. Im not sure that is injury related.

Hope you're right -- if he's healthy, I still think Phillips can be a heck of a QB. Whether he's the best option, I don't know -- I'm not a coach. But he has very good physical gifts. Hopefully he's healthy, and comfortable enough with (at least the basics of) Coach Burns' offense that he can iron out any kinks in his delivery.
