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. |

But once again, based on your posts, you appear to have the reading level of a 3rd grader. You managed to draw the wrong conclusion from a very straightforward sentence. By all means, keep on keepin' on, champ.

Newsome detonated the market for quarterbacks and the NFL absolutely blasted the Cowboys with their cap penalty. The Cowboys were going to have to start cutting important players to clear the cap space to sign their draft picks. Or they could extend Romo and spread his cap hit. They had absolute shit for leverage here and Romo's agent knew it. Romo was going to demand to get paid near Flacco because his performance over the last 5 seasons supports it. It's not necessarily Jerry Jones' fault; his options were damn limited.

and that's Romo's biggest challenge right now, and especially the last few years...
He has no support. He constantly has to score points. His defense bends and breaks. He always, always, always has to make big plays...and he presses. When he presses, sometimes he makes that terrible Romo play that everyone seems to think he makes 15 per game or something. Look, I always thought Brett Favre was overrated. I thought he had a great 3 year stretch in the late 90s and after that some of his INT's were so ridiculous that he just simply couldn't be considered the best QB in the NFL. Now, I always thought he was somewhere between #5 and #10 and the Vikings year he impressed the hell out of me. I respected his toughness, his legendary velocity, and the fact he always went down swinging (when he went down)... But Romo has a lot of Favre in him. That's good and bad. He makes plays no one else could make, or would try making...which leads to those "wtf Romo?" passes. Just like Favre. If you put Tony Romo on the 49ers next year they'd win 13 games and be in the Super Bowl. Same with the Seahawks. Same with a lot of teams. One ****ing player doesn't win you a Super Bowl. One ****ing player on the worst ran organization in football with a "GM" who isn't qualified doesn't win a Super Bowl. We all blamed Pioli for sucking. Understandable. Made sense. But why does Dallas get to blame Romo when the GM consistently makes poor personnel decisions? The only thing Dallas has going for them is Romo, and maybe Romo piping into some of that unbelievable potential Dez Bryant has, and displayed, for the second half of last year. Oh and to throw in a stat...Romo has the highest 4th quarter rating in the NFL over the past 5 years or something ridiculous like that. but yeah, he doesn't have what it takes mentally because he banged Jessica Simpson and he doesn't win a Super Bowl with an inferior supporting cast Got it. When Tom Brady went down Matt Cassel won 11 games. When Peyton Manning went down the Colts were so terrible they got Andrew Luck. Think about that. Tom Brady > Peyton Manning yet when a college backup took over for him they still managed to win 11 ****ing NFL games. He got to QB that team. Manning gets a team that, without him, was the worst team in the NFL and one of the worst teams ever. NOT EVERYTHING IS RELEVANT; NOT ALL IS EQUAL |

I wouldn't have budged if I were the Ravens. I would have non-exclusively tagged him and then let him go for 2 1st rounders. That team is getting old and no one can convince me you can't find the next Joe Flacco.
Look, if someone had a gun to my head and said Flacco or Alex Smith I'm taking Flacco. But would I rather have Alex for 2/15 or Flacco for 6/120? OMG. Alex 10 times out of 10. Flacco isn't going to win us a Super Bowl by himself just like Alex won't...both of them need elite talent around them plus luck to win the big one. So **** paying a guy like that Flacco money. |

You clearly favor a different approach.

Most of your posts are filed under the "tl;dr" tab in my mind. I would never consider writing a ****ing dissertation (much less reading one) on Tony Romo's contract. Most of my productive brainpower goes into my education, and what's seen here is mindless drivel I am not afforded as a grad student. |

I agree.
I was 100% about Damon Huard. Search the posts. My argument, from the get go, was Damon Huard was the best QB for that Kansas City Chiefs team. And he was. Trent wasn't a good QB behind that offensive line. Trent held the ball too long. Trent didn't like to force throws to Tony Gonzalez and Dwayne Bowe like Huard. My thought process was Trent was too good to play for that shit team. Trent wanted to make the right read and throw on a team where the only read and throw was to Tony or Dwayne because the line afforded the QB almost no time to throw the ball. Hence the reason we had more success with Damon opposed to Trent. Oh and we traded Trent after that season. And Trent never did anything again. And Trent couldn't get a first down for 40+ minutes in the playoffs. I mean, my ****ing Christ man...if you want to chastise me, at least don't pick topics that I was right about when the rest of the board was wrong. |

Please. Find a post where I was wrong about Damon Huard/Trent Green debate.
God damn I crushed that argument. Shit, I even ran THE MAQ off the board because I guaranteed him Huard would start the next year over Croyle. Croyle. Croyle the guy who never won an NFL game and never caught on with another NFL team after KC. I mean, JFC...if you guys want to try and "pwn me", at least "pwn me" on things I was wrong about. One time on this board I said I thought the Cubs were the perfect team...and they got swept. I made fun of the Cardinals terrible farm system (it turned out to be fantastic). I said Tyrus Thomas was the next Kevin Garnett. I wanted the Bulls to resign Eddy Curry. I wanted the Chiefs to trade their 1st round pick for Brady Quinn. It's not that hard. Just search. |
