ROMO gets his $$$
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...y-than-flacco/
Yikes! The Cowboys and quarterback Tony Romo have a deal, and it’s reportedly a deal that will guarantee Romo even more money than Joe Flacco just received in his blockbuster contract with the Ravens. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Cowboys and Romo reached an agreement on a six-year extension that contains even more guaranteed money than the six-year, $120.6 million contract that Joe Flacco got from the Ravens. As is always the case, the contract details will come out in time. But the initial indication is that Jerry Jones backed up the Brink’s truck to pay Romo. Schefter says the total value of the deal is a six-year contract worth $108 million. The Cowboys have been trying for weeks to get a new deal done with Romo, who would have counted $16.8 million against this year’s salary cap if he didn’t have a new contract. The new deal will reduce Romo’s cap number for 2013. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has long said he believes Romo can lead his team to a Super Bowl, and that he wants Romo to remain a Cowboy for the rest of his career. It appears that will happen: Romo and the Cowboys are tied together for years to come. |

this is just bizarre. I don't watch many Cowboys games so I don't know if the Romo hate is entirely justified, but, but, but did Romo win the superbowl when I wasn't paying attention?
Can any Romo fans (if there are any) justify this? |

the good news here everyone, is we'll get to laugh at his decision at least 5 times this year in prime time games featuring the Cowboys

I'm trying to find any kind of sense that this deal might make and I'm coming up completely dry. Giving a 33 year old QB that's been given as many years and as much talent as he has to take you to the big one even more time is ****ing idiotic on so many levels.
Ah well, it'll be nice watching those Cowboy fans constantly disappointed for the next 6 years. |

I'd take Romo as a QB over the shit this team has had in a heartbeat. Good for him.

Denver's safety being a moron didn't suddenly make Joe Flacco a better QB.
The QB travesty of the offseason was paying Joe Flacco like he's one of the top 5 QBs in the NFL when he's nothing more than a good QB that's in the same 2nd tier of QBs with guys like Rivers, Eli Manning and yes, Tony Romo. The people that swear you can't win a SB without an 'elite' QB have to now call an extremely flawed QB like Joe Flacco elite in order to stay on message. If Denver could manage to play a !@#$ing hail mary correctly, nobody tries to claim that Joe Flacco is a demonstrably better QB than Tony Romo. There's nothing elite about Joe Flacco. He's not mobile, he's not terribly accurate. For vast swaths of the season he's not even a good decisionmaker. But he got hot at the right time so now the QB market is blown all to ****. Ozzie Newsome re-setting the QB market so that every slightly above average QB in the league can now point out that their last 50 career starts compare very favorably to Joe Flacco's is the problem. Without Flacco's dipshit contract, this contract wouldn't have been nearly as bad. But Ozzie Newsome ****ed up the market.
