Hypotheticals are not real, realist.

There was a poll on one of the sports sites about whether or not Romo should be extended and over 70% voted no. I know polls are meaningless but the general NFL fan doesn't trust him at all and I'm beginning to fall in that category and I like Romo. People say this team wouldn't win 5 games without him and I really question that statement. In fact, I don't believe it at all......

Excellent post that is spot on. You have Jerry pegged too.

Super bowl? You're expectations are way too high. I would be happy if he could lead our team to a division win and the playoffs.

Romo thoroughly outplayed Andrew Luck last season, in every aspect of the game. The Cowboys would have won more than 11 games if they had played the Colts schedule.

You get enough chances and it can happen. He was pretty much a JAG playoff QB up until this season...and he's had a playoff level team his whole career.
Before that great three game run, he had as many ints as TDs in the postseason
Nothing special at all.

You need a larger sample size to break through sometimes. He did this year

I dont think Kap or RG3 are on Romo's level yet, just my opinion. Yes they are young and mobile and may turn out to be better eventually, they arent there yet. RG3 had pedestrian passing numbers. Morris is the one that should be getting all the attention in Washington.

Luck on the other hand, he is going to be a monster.

The Redskins were horrible in 2011 and most of the team sucked in 2012 too. I have news for you, RG3 and the running game made that team a lot better. Half the season he didn't even have a decent WR to throw to. Garcon was always hurt and who else did he have? An over the hill 33 year old Moss? Teams had to start respecting RG3's arm and the pistol offense. They didn't know if it was him or Morris who had the ball half the time. Don't think RG3 didn't help with making Morris stand out as much as he did. Basically their only offense was RG3 and Morris and even starting 3-6 he still managed to will his team to a division win and they playoffs.

[View Full Quote]Wilson inherited a weak Seattle team and led them to the playoffs. Sure the defense played well but what changed on that team? They had a true leader at QB who had a strong will to win and was tough for opposing defenses to stop. He played a huge role in elevating his whole team.

Kap is a freaking beast. Sure, he played on a good team, but he would have at least led our team past Washington to make the playoffs. He is way more mobile than Romo and has a much better arm. He was just what San Fran needed to get them over the hump that Smith could not do.

Yes, let's completely forgo reality here.

Luck had a 76.5 QB rating. He threw 18 picks on 23 touchdowns. Compared to Romo who threw 19 picks on 28 touchdowns. Romo also threw for 600 more yards, 10% more accurate. Romo was better in every way.

Teams change year in and year out. Just because you played a better team in 2011 doesn't mean that same team is as good in 2012. The AFC South was a joke this year, as was the AFC East.

The redskins weren't horrible in 2011, they just couldn't get things done on offense. Their offense stood up a great deal this year.

Wilson also inherited a great defense. As did Kap.

Romo doesn't have any of that.

The reason the teams aren't equal, is because Tony is as an inferior quarterback.

Ed Werder is a moron

Flacco outplayed Brady in the 2011 Championship Game.#NiceJag

Flacco has been knocking on the door of greatness since his rookie year.Tony Romo has failed in every big spot he's been in.

I saw no defense being played in the Super Bowl. League doesn't want good defense, they want great offense, and this is what this league is becoming, so man up or exit stage left.

He has no idea what he's talking about.

But if you offered me Luck for Romo , I'd not hesistate to take it.

But in 2012, Romo was >> that Luck. Luck was good for a rookie though.

Romo isn't getting paid anywhere near what Flacco's getting paid..
