Tony Romo, Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick...

Oh, that's right.

Was meant as a fun hypothetical discussion on a forum loaded with tons of such threads.. But no, thank YOU for sharing with your friends. And yeah, only here..

I agree that we need to start looking for the quarterback of the future but Tony isn't the problem. Shore up the OL and he makes less mistakes.

I mean the guys under pressure on almost every freakin' snap, he's gonna make mistakes being pressured like that. I'm not saying Tony is perfect just that a lot of his ints are not his fault or he was just trying to make a good play out of a bad one.

There's other reasoning behind some of those ints, like receivers running the wrong routes for example.

I keep hearing "Tony isn't the problem". He isn't "the" problem but he plays a roll in the problems on offense. The dude leads the league in interceptions and I have seen him fumble the ball like 4 times in our own redzone. He isn't even smart enough to take a sack in our redzone and protect the ball so we get guaranteed points. He is also not a leader on the team. He is always sulking on the sidelines and doesn't look like he even wants to be out there. It's time to look for our future QB. If we resign Romo to a multi-year deal, prepare to have continued failures from the offense and no playoffs/superbowl.

Oh, and SF wants NOTHING to do with turnover prone Tony Romo. They have a guy who can pass and run and is electrifying right now. Someone with confidence in himself. KC, Buffalo, Jac, and Arizona are the only teams I can see that would have interest in Romo.

Hurry... Let's get Tony on the market and get a bidding war started. Would love a #1 for him but probably could only get a #2. Ware might fetch a #1 so we should be able to parlay that into a nice QB for the future...

OK, I lost my head for a second. Jerry is only interested in free agents for QB just like linemen and safeties... Of course, he could see himself investing a 2nd or 3rd for another QC.

I think KC, Buffalo, Jac, and Arizona would give a number 1 for Romo. Don't forget, we can trade Miles, Felix, and Jenkins as well.

Why does everyone assume Tony is a gun slinger?

What proof is there of this. Just because he idolized Favre doesn't mean he actually plays like him. Everything that I see points to the opposite. He goes through his progressions on the field and usually makes the smart throw, or else why would Witten be his number one target. Interceptions are more of a correlation of him trying to do too much because the inept running game, protection and playcalling..Or just poor decisions.


Jay Cutler is more of a gun slinger type. Romo I don't see it.

Let's get even more of these guys off the payroll. It's time to clean house and anyone sniffing 30 should be let go like Babin. Time to see if we want to keep any of our youngsters for next year. Orten can hold the fort until we parlay draft picks into the next RG3 or Luck. If we can't get draft picks for these guys that haven't produced then it's the"ole swift kick to west of El Paso".

At least Cutler has an offensive line and a defense to back him up. Chicago can afford to have a gunslinger type... The Cowboys can't and shouldn't. Time to clean house and start over.

Romo has to win every game all by himself. He's the only good QB in the league that faces that year after year.

No running game, not a stitch of pass protection.

Where would this team be without Romo the past few seasons? About 3-13 every year, if that.

It's going to take draft choices and 3 years to get this team in a position to compete. Romo will be in a wheel chair by then... Time to get what you can for these over 30 guys and I put Witten, Rat, Spencer, etc in the group as well. Time to unload the boat of all these guys that had chances but couldn't get us over the hump. I don't blame Romo, Jerry & coaching is mostly to blame.
