Classic prisoner of the moment. League will figure him out and the gimmick offense just like they did with Cam, heard similar things last yr too.

He got praised for the fumble that turned into a td, it's ridiculous.

I saw that. Only RG3 gets praised for a fumble. The double standards in the media and with fans is absurd. He produces at no higher of a level than Alex Smith yet one is seen as bus driving garbage and the other is seen as a god.

Extending a soon to be 33 year old QB on a team that's going nowhere is a sure fire recipe for success.

Right, Alex Smith is just as good as RG3. Alex Smith would have lost his job to RG3 if RG3 played in San Fran. I wonder why?

Agreed. Qb's get better the older they get. I think he is having his best statistical season this year.

Their o-line plan did not work.

They need to get it fixed ...... they went all in on defensive backs last year ..... time to go all in (actually way past time I know) on the O-line.

I thought they fortified the line this off-season enough to be decent.

I was wrong
props for admitting that.

One thing I haven't really heard anywhere...maybe Tony tabled contract talks because he doesn't want to be in Dallas anymore. It doesn't look like he's having any fun, and I'm sure he's sick of the fans/media/Jerryworld circus.

I wouldn't be shocked if he plays out next year and tests the FA market.

If im Romo ... why would i spend my last contract playing for this team? And if I do sign here i make Jerry way overpay cause i know they have no backup plan at QB. Like Top 5 QB money ... manning, brady, brees.
**** JJ 2013 Draft Board ****
1) RB ... gotta get a felix replacement
2) DB ... need to replace Jenkins
3) WR\TE ... need more offense

3) for depth, we can spend the rest of the picks on 'back-ups', we havent addressed the backups in alomst 3 years now (since the 2009 draft)
This would be an awesome sarcastic post, if any of those things were things I'd actually consider doing. As it is, you're addressing a cartoon you're arguing with in your own head, and seem to be winning that debate. Good work!
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

Boom franchise tag!

Like it or not he's here for at least 2 more seasons if he wants to test the FA marked it will be as a 35 year old, good luck with that

It was the same thing last year with Cam.... Hopefully RGIII will have similarly results in year two that Cam is having this year.

Thanks for all the thrills, tony. I appreciate you
He is 32 and getting beat up every game... By the time the offensive & defensive lines + safeties are rebuilt, he will be way past his prime. Time to dump or trade all players over 30 and just start the rebuild process. Should take about 3 years and maybe then we could compete with better teams. Until then just let Orton guide the ship.

Just go ahead admit that you hate RGIII and get it over with. We get it, you love you some Romo and hate when any other QB gets more attention than him.
