But it would never happen. Cowboys need to lock this guy up. Very underrated QB, but I guess he deserves it with the choking at the end of season.

Being a Giants fan, you would know a thing or two about choking – your “defending” SB champs who couldn’t even make it back to the playoffs to defend that title is akin to a serious choke job. Even with the Giants having two SB wins in the past 5 seasons, the Cowboys STILL have more rings than the Giants. The fact that the Giants can’t even play well enough to make it back to the playoffs SHOULD be the bigger story, but no – as usual, the press (and the haters) can’t get enough of their Cowboys fix. Pretty pathetic, but true.

Once the team gives Romo the O-line play, Defensive play, or effective running game the last 10 SB winning teams have given their QB’s, he too will have a ring.

This is a TEAM sport, Einstein. EXACTLY why the Giants didn’t make it back to the promised land in 2012. It wasn’t because of Eli.

Against the Seahawks, he fumbled the go-ahead field goal snap. You can call that whatever you want, but that has nothing to do with his quarterback play. Tony Romo the quarterback put his team in position to win, but Tony Romo the holder screwed up.

The next year, the Cowboys played the Giants in the playoffs. Tony Romo was really good, and the defense was really bad. They could not stop Eli Manning/Plaxico Burress/Amani freaking Toomer. At the end of the game, Romo had a few shots at the end zone, and on third down he got picked off. He didn’t have an epic collapse, or throw some terrible ridiculous pass, he just didn’t get it done.

The next playoff game he was in, they crushed the Philadelphia eagles.

The next week against the Vikings was the only really bad playoff game I’ve seen out of Romo, and that was mostly the offensive line getting dominated. Ray Edwards and Jared Allen were eating Doug Free and Marc Colombo (I think?) for lunch. Tony Romo never got an opportunity to set his feet and look down field. Oh, and Favre and Sidney Rice were absolutely torching the Cowboys defense. They were never really in that game.

——-

Dude, I’m not a Romo hater, but come up with better examples. Favre won in his 4th or 5th year and Elway and Marino BOTH made the Super Bowl very early in their careers. Romo has won one playoff game in 6-7 years, big difference.

The Cowboys had 7 rushing touchdowns last year (not counting 1 from Romo). They had 4 rushing touchdowns the year before that (not counting 1 from Romo again). They have not had a 1000 yard rusher since Julius Jones did it in 2006.

They had 16 defensive turnovers last year, practically the worst in the league.

And, of course, the Cowboys offensive line is completely awful (at least, everything to the right of the left tackle is).

Fix those things and the Cowboys have a shot at a Super Bowl.

As for Romo, he isn’t worth two first round picks. No team in their right mind would give up two first round picks for him, and in addition to that have to sign Romo long term. That is too much “value” to give up for what Romo offers.

Even if that were doable, no team is going to make that trade unless they have a deal in place to sign Romo long term. You don’t give up two first round picks for a short term rental.

Romo maybe better than what is currently out there for QBs. However, if he isn’t good enough to lead a team to a SB win, then why would any team want to give up Elmer Fudd’s mansion and a yacht to bring him in?

And please stop with the Flacco comparisons…If Tony was on that team with that coaching…well I think he would do fairly good to.

When we talk bout Romo…its baptismal by fire on every play. You deserve better…but I’m all for fleecing Jerry out of some big cash

Why they kept Garret is beyond me. He must be serving the Vinny Cerrato under Dan Snyder position of sniveling yes man to Jerry Jones.

I’m guessing they extend him around 4-5 years that can easily void to 2-3 and that $5million in cap space they get back will be used to absorb the blow if/when they do release him.

He’s a solid QB, not upper echelon, but solid. And as stated above, much better than the guys he replaced in between himself and Aikman. I’d extend him, if I was Jerry, otherwise all of next season will be even more of a circus than normal. The mothership will have spots every 45mins about Romo’s lame duck status and blah blah blah blah blah. One week Jaworski will say he stinks and in the same breath say he’s worth 20mil a year.

Realistically there is no alternative to him at the moment. None of this year’s QBs project to come onto the scene like RG,Luck, Wilson, or even Foles. I think you need to do a 4 yr extension at around 17 per to be fair to all parties involved. And really zero in on the QB prospects next year.

2) Don’t extend Romo, risk potentially being stuck with Kyle Orton or … ??? … at QB in 2014.

Easy choice there, especially considering extending him could alleviate some of the massive salary cap debt going into this year. I’d like to see what Romo can with an improved offensive line so he doesn’t have to attempt a miracle evasion of the pass rush on every play. Now it’s just a matter of Jerry Jones actually realizing that and focusing on protecting him and our RBs.
