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. |

You can't compare a superstar QB with superstar expectations to a guy like Joe Flacco who has never been asked before this postseason to win a game by being the superstar. He never had to make the plays...he just had to make sure he didn't make the plays that lost the game. THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO THE TWO. Brady and Manning are fair comparisons. Comparing Flacco to Manning because he has a better W/L in the postseason is a ****ing joke of a comparison and 100% flawed. It's not comparable. |

I was hard on Flacco in previous years because he would win playoff games with terrible sub-50% passing performances and things like that... but you guys are brutal. The guy is coming off two postseasons where he missed a Super Bowl because of a dropped pass, and one where he won a Super Bowl and finished the postseason with 11 TD/0 INT. Hard to argue against that.

I mean, yay...I understand he came through in the end (or should have), but come on. Tim Tebow wasn't elite because he won a bunch of flukey games and then won a flukey postseason game because teams got soft on him at the end. In my world, an elite QB is elite from snap 1 to the final snap...at least on a consistent basis. An elite QB is the best player on his team, and the player the team expects to lead them to victory. Joe Flacco has never had that claim to fame until he played out of his mind this postseason. Can he replicate that for an entire season? If so, fine...he's elite. I just don't see it happening. |

He was like 17-28 for 220 yards and 2 TDs before that last drive.

I would absolutely agree that he is not as consistent as some of the other great QBs in the league. But he does take a ton of shots downfield because he has a huge arm. The guy is a dropped pass away from 2 straight Super Bowls and has an 18 TD/2 INT ratio in the last 3 postseasons. That's pretty tough.

This seems like a reeruned contract. But Romo can make plays. I don't watch many cowboys games, is he the main reason why they lose? They always seem to have a lot of talent and a new coach every couple of years.

He's in that same class a Rivers and Cutler. They all play just "good enough" to keep you from rebuilding....but never truly good enough to win anything. Romo has only won 1 playoff game in 7 seasons.......didn't Kaepernick and Wilson win more than that just this season?

He made the only point that matters in the end.

you know you're on a chiefs board when a super bowl winning playoff run (which included impressive QB play and QB stats) is hand-waived away as a mere triviality and regular season consistency is hailed as the true measure of QB superiority

Pretty much.
