Romo = TGT Bucs

McNabb and Hugh Douglas are shitting on this contract. Two guys who have just as many Super Bowls as Romo.

And more playoff wins.

Really, that's the best response you have? I usually don't argue with other members, but, I can say that you tend to have the dumbest fucking posts and opinions on this forum. Sometimes I think you post, just to post.

I think what he's trying to say is that McNabb at least had some playoff success and helped get his team to the Super Bowl.
McNabb had far more playoff success than Romo ever had.
IMO, the contract that Romo got should be a contract awarded to someone who's at least had some playoff success.

I think the more interesting question is: In their primes, who is the better quarterback?

If you're just gonna continually groan me, Goobyslayer, the least you can do is offer a rebuttal (that's when a person gives a dissenting opinion).

You can argue numbers/years but with the emphasis on good QB play in the NFL, the prospect of starting over is not too enticing.

If they were to go their separate ways, what's Dallas suppose to do? Go after Cutler? He's apparently now the biggest name in the 2014 FA market for the position. Besides, throwing the lack of playoff success away (i know…), he's a top 10 QB, no? If you get one of those guys, you have to do whatever you can to keep them.


Now, hopefully Uncle Jerrah doesn't smarten up with the OL/defense.

I'm not a Romo hater or anything, but the big deal in my mind is:
A) He's 33
B) He never wins the big one ... ever
C) If he sucks this year, you're regretting this contract and the chance to rebuild with a new quarterback.

Romo is a good quarterback, but also a choker. The Cowboys could have ridden out the last year of his contract and franchised him the next year. Giving him $55 million guaranteed seems nuts. Flacco's contract a bit goofy too, but he's not 33.

I think Empire nailed it. Jerry doesn't want to go back to experimenting with young guys till they find the guy that sticks again, and he's better than any free agents on the horizon. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be able to play this entire contract out either with how protected his position is. Even if something happens in the middle of the contract and they have to cut ties, 55 million is nothing in the long run for the Cowboys.

McNabb doesnt have any SB wins but the Eagles were one of the best teams in the NFC for a nice stretch in the 2000's, Dallas have been nothing but overhyped bums season after season. Dallas fans should be at this retarded contract.

I hope your son tears his ACL.

I think a better thread title would be "Cowboys trade future playoff wins for Romo."

You are the worst arguer on the entire site. Good lord.
