Romo, Cowboys agree to 6 year contract extension

[CR91]

You don't follow the Texans apparently. This past season was the only time we were good enough and we were still suspect with our defense. Other years its been injuries and horrible special teams play, its not Schaubs fault.

 

you wanna be a great qb. you make due with what you got.

[Qwiz]

Your right, Yates might be better than him.

Something they all have in common? At least one playoff win. A certain QB from Houston can't say the same.

[Dustin]

ok but what about the redskins game. if it wasnt 2010 then it was 09 the point is he cant come through when the chips are on the line

 

Except that he won the win and in game in 2009.

RG3?

[Qwiz]

Tell that to Papa Peyton. I guess he's not great, what with one ring and these years in the league.

[Balzer40]

Can I not say the same for Romo though? Terrible O-line, defense, coach, and the only offensive weapons he as are Witten, Bryant and an overrated Austin. I'd take Romo over any of those QBs.

 

 

 

Sure you could say it. All I'm saying is that arguments could easily be made for all the guys I listed being better than Romo. Romo has hurt himself several times though too. His decision making leaves a lot to be desired for a guy that's been around as long as he has.

[Qwiz]

RG3?

Griffin's not from Houston. You know who I'm talking about.

[CR91]

Except that he won the win and in game in 2009.

 

hm. maybe 08 then. i just remember reading how romo lost three times in the last week to get the cowboys into the playoffs

[CR91]

certain qb took rookies to the playoffs can your schaub say the same thing

[Qwiz]

Yes, if Flacco just won a SB, Cutler and Schaub can too with the right team. Texans D needs to get better.

That's why we signed Ed Reed, added McCain again, and can hopefully pick up some more pieces in the Draft. We had way too many injuries on the defensive side this year, and you're right.

[Dustin]

Griffin's not from Houston. You know who I'm talking about.

 

Case Keenum?

[CR91]

Tell that to Papa Peyton. I guess he's not great, what with one ring and these years in the league.

 

thats one more ring then schaub

[Qwiz]

certain qb took rookies to the playoffs can your schaub say the same thing

Certain QB is highly overrated and lost horribly in the first round of the playoffs. Schaub can say that he won one, that's for sure.

[Qwiz]

Case Keenum?

Andy Luck, you know, the guy who didn't win in the playoffs

[Qwiz]

thats one more ring then schaub

And how long did it take him?

And that's 2 less than Brady. Best QB of our era.

[Dustin]

Andy Luck, you know, the guy who didn't win in the playoffs

 

Never heard of him. 

[CR91]

that highly overrated qb burned you guys twice with another rookie

[Qwiz]

Never heard of him. 

Give it a few years, you won't be the only one who says that. ;)

[braveheartcolt]

i will go on record to say no one has a faster fast ball then cutler. does that win games? not always, but theres no one in the league that can rip it like cutler

I'm talking about winning a SB, not 'Superstars'....

[Qwiz]

that highly overrated qb burned you guys twice with our rookie

And got taken to the woodshed in his first meeting with us.

[CR91]

Andy Luck, you know, the guy who didn't win in the playoffs

 

ITS ANDREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CR91]

And got taken to the woodshed in his first meeting with us. And darn near led the league in INTs...

 

still lost to him. cant win in indy. even lost to a journeyman

[Qwiz]

ITS ANDREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bingo! Now let's get back on topic guys, no need to close this thread

[Dustin]

still lost to him. cant win in indy. even lost to a journeyman

[Qwiz]

still lost to him. cant win in indy. even lost to a journeyman

We're going to break that trend next season. ;)

Not my Danny o comment

[Moose Of Woe]

Pardon me for a moment.

 

*Walks outside*

 

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHA!

[RealityIsLuck]

he's a good QB and people need to cut him some slak

[shakedownstreet]

if flacco played for a team with good management, i think he could be great. the cowboys are a circus

[Colts_Fan12]

Romo is a top 10 QB. And like Flacco if he hit the open market Dallas would be paying even more. If they could even keep him.

We all giggle at some of these contracts now... But Luck will be coming up in a few years. And non of us will be giggling then.

He will be eating at least 17 - 23% of our cap.

This is the nature of the beast...

1 thing tho our QB is Luck not Romo lol

[ChuckStrong]

Cowboys will remain irrelevant until they replace Romo. He can do okay when they games don't count.

[braveheartcolt]

if flacco played for a team with good management, i think he could be great. the cowboys are a circus

The 'management' aren't the ones choking in the big games. Repeatedly.  

[Franklin County]

One of my friends is a Cowboys fan from Texas and he called and said he is finally gonna join me in being a Colts fan. Said Romo is the cause. Least something good came from Tony getting that money. We got a new Colts fan member. Thank you JJ.

[deedub75]

I think Jerry Jones is more of the problem than Romo.  If I were a Cowboys fan, Jerry Jones would make me question my fandom. 

[Qwiz]

I think Jerry Jones is more of the problem than Romo.  If I were a Cowboys fan, Jerry Jones would make me question my fandom. 

I think it's a combination of the two. Romo screws up and Jones is stubborn in his ways and makes highly questionable leadership decisions. As long as the two of them are associated with the Cowboys, I don't think they will ever win another title.

[Tyler Shaw]

I live in corpus Christi tx and down here they love him or hate him. But everyone agrees he's is horrible in clutch playoff games and when the game is to big for him..

[supremecoltsfan300]

They did overpay for Romo, but they HAD to overpay for him. Romo is a top 10-12 qb with top 6 potential. You cant let that go away. Romo is one of the few qbs who scares me because he always has the potential for a 4 td game. And the people putting luck, rg3, wilson, kaep, newton, and stafford ahead of him (at this point in their careers)..well that's just plain silly and wrong lol.

[Dustin]

Some of the things people say about Romo in this thread are the same things people said about Peyton pre-2006. And Peyton played on much better teams.

[dgambill]

Romo is a a Top 10 qb. He just has the bad habit of playing his worst games at the biggest times. He gets way to much criticism. I've seen Bret Favre make worse throws and have worse games and yet he didn't receive a 1/4 of the criticism that we see of players now. Its the age we live in. Everyone is put under a microscope and with stupid shows like First Take tearing people down its rediculous. What was it my momma would say....If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all....I don't know when it became acceptable for the shock jock radio to make its way over to the sports stations but it kinda makes me sick. It's one thing to comment while sitting around having a beer and wings.....its another to go on tv or print and basically tear a person down for hours or pages. Sad imo. 

 

Romo has better ratings than most qbs in the league. Hasn't always had the help of his teammates in big games...but he also hasn't risen to top...carried his team to the promise land either. He is no Tom Brady....and not even a Peyton Manning. One who has led his team to multiple championships or to the playoffs every year. Those guys get their teams to the playoffs. They carry them. Peyton has lost a lot of big games too but he has put his team in those games more often than not and at least got that monkey off his back. Tony caught the bug on that botched field goal and ever since fought it. He is a top qb....perhaps not an elite winner but definately as talented as any. He doesn't desearve nearly the hate he gets.

 

That said I think it is hard to say that he justifies....or any qb justifies those contracts. I guess with the cap going up over the years its just hard to say but man that is a crap load of money...and probably could better serve the team if he took less.
