ROMO gets huge contract

RJKarl said:
You can be a journeyman and play with the same team for a long career. The term is about talent not travel.

He's all hype. In his three playoff losses he passed for 168, 154 and 182. In this era that's pretty bad.

He always has an excuse and a defender.

He seems like a nice guy. He just isn't better than a C/C- QB.

:rofl: RJ, you're out of your league here. Please tell me where you're going to find another freely available quarterback who has 5,000 yard and 35 td seasons under his belt. Yes, I guess you wanted the Cowboys to dump Romo and go with the neckbeard as starting quarterback.
 
No one else would have paid him that money. Along with Stafford, he's the only QB in the Top 8 in yards who didn't make the playoffs.

He was also third in passes thrown. he should have had a lot of yards. If you throw 40 passes a game, you'd better throw for 300 yards.

He also tied for the most interceptions.

BTW, he had 28 TDs this year not 35.

I LOVE the Cowboys keeping him and grossly overpaying him. In the socialistic society that is the NFL, his outrageous salary keeps them from using some of that money to buy players that will actually help them.

You can talk about yards and other numbers, but the number that counts the most for QBs is WINS and playoff wins.
 
You have no idea how the salary cap in the NFL works, do you?

Facepalm
 
I keep forgetting you more about absolutely everything than I do. All I have to do is read your posts towards me to know that.
 
although the deal did free up $5M for this year:

" Much of the derision was pointed toward Romo and Jerry Jones in that the Cowboys just gave more than $100 million to a quarterback who has won a single playoff game and handcuffed themselves for another seven years. And probably because it's a potentially higher guarantee than what Super Bowl MVP Flacco just received ($52 million)."

He's a scrub who got paid like a champ.

Didn't I troll you both about this pretty hard just a few months ago? Back on the Romo bandwagon again I see.

[Redacted]: Making Wake Forest Cowboys fans forget about Romo's latest chokejob in less than 3 months
 
Palma, Tony Romo isn't quite Jeff [Redacted]. He's more like a nice guy version of Seth Greenburg. He almost looks good enough but always comes up short.

Romo's numbers are created by the system not by his ability.
 
I think it is cute to see an Eagles fan chastise a player for not winning the big game.

Getting to five NFC Championship games, like McNab, means you had to win layoff games. Romo didn't and didn't make the playoffs many times that they should have.

My bad it's never Romo's fault.

It's also "cute" to see a Skins fan defending someone in their division knowing he chokes in the big ones.
 
I am not defending him...I said he is not the answer.
 
As a fan of another team in the NFC East, I love this contract.

You are an idiot, RJ. They weren't going to trade him and they weren't going to cut him so they gave him a new contract that helped their current cap situation and paid him at market rate. It is as simple as that. You act like decent quarterbacks grow on trees.
 
They paid over market value for a player of his talent.

Yes they got $5M more for this year, but they also took hits for next and the year after.

Quarterbacks with his talent come close to growing on trees.

Like Phillies Deac, as an Eagles fan I am happy he's the Cowboys' QB.

This "over market value" is a bit of a misnomer, considering the market value of quarterbacks is changing somewhat drastically. Nobody in the position to trade for him would be willing or able to give back anything the Cowboys needed. There are no Free Agent or rookie quarterbacks in the foreseeable future worth the change. You act as if paying him whatever your version of "market value" is was actually an option for the team, which is totally a false choice. Since they weren't looking elsewhere, they paid him what they paid him, the cost of doing business in today's NFL. If you actually look at the tangibles/measurables between him and Flacco (only excluding your playoff win criterion), Romo is getting a pretty fairly valued contract.

You just excluded the most important criteria.
