Are Cowboys Fans prepared to pay the price of a new QB?

[intelmax]

So work is pretty brutal today.. and all i keep hearing is how we need to trade romo and start over. And believe me that third int was like a shot to my heart but honestly i have this question.

Are cowboys fans really ready to be 4-12, 3-13 and a bottom dweller for a few years?

Trust me, theres not going to be another Andrew luck, Robert griffin and Russel wilson draft in another 10 years.This years draft is weak and i dont know about next year. I became a fan during the carter years, i know what failure feels like but i am not sure some of our more fickle fan base can understand what it feels like to be a bad team.

would you really trade 8-8 for a couple 4-12 seasons and hope that the QB we drafted ends up being elite?

face the facts folks, we have had a chance to be in the playoffs for two years in a row now. And although we blew it, i would rather have a chance that to be rebuilding again. We got incredibly lucky that an UDFA QB turned out to be the QB that he is for us, look at the cardinals they would probably give a left arm for romo. And what about Dez and all our other young receivers? Don't you think their growth will be stunted by a rookie QB?

So many people think we should just blow it up and start over but i dont feel that way, not when we are close..but thats what you get with Romo/Farve :/

Anyway sorry for the long post i just had to get this off my chest, now if you excuse me i am going to be depressed for the rest of the day now..

I said in a previous thread Manziel looks to be a game changer at the next level. The type of guy Jerry Jones "might" give up the house for if need be. I'd personally hate it, but yea, the kid can absolutely ball.

Beyond ready..

[Doomsday]

Im pretty sure we can be just as mediocre with Orton or some one else at QB

[intelmax]

Are you really? Because trust me there's nothing worse than not having hope for the playoffs year in and year out. Trust me man there's not good QBs coming out of this years or next years draft.


And Orton lost his job to Tim Tebow.

Wilson went in the 3rd round.

Andy Dalton went in the 2nd.

Kapernick went in the 2nd.

A good front office can find a QB in the 2nd or 3rd that can lead a team.

Romo is not a leader and will always choke when the spotlight is the brightest.

No way I would sign Romo to an extension. He has had his time and proven that he is a .500 QB. Time to move on.

Then resign Romo, stay in the playoff race chances...and in 3 years, it will be be time to trade the entire draft if need be, to get Manziel.

If your asking me if I am ok with Dallas going 4-12 next year and then being in better position to truly have post season success going forward my answer is an emphatic YES!

No, he sucks. Great college QB doesn't mean great NFL QB. Look at Vince Young and Tim Tebow. Two of the greatest college QBs of all time and they are bums in the NFL.

What have any of those guys done to tell you they're better than Romo?

But with who? I just think we are so close.. Literally i can almost taste it. Look at all the injuries this year and we were still in position to make the playoffs.

Give it 2-3 more years.. then blow it up.

I will predict now that this new QB will not matter, just as it hasn't mattered that we went through a whole carousel of coaches since Jimmy. Until Jerry turns the management of this team over to a GM who knows how to evaluate talent and make good off-season decisions, that new QB will suffer the same fate that Romo has: a horrible O-line and unpredictable WRs.

thats sick joke right?

[thewireman]

There's no difference in 4-12 and 8-8 except draft position.

The better question is this, the Tony Romo contract situation.

He is under contract for 2013. Is the best decision for the franchise to extend him at 33 years old for say another 7 years and pay him what its going to take to get it done? Do you wait out next season and see how he does and possibly franchise him in 2014 if comes down to it?

We have been burnt so many times in the past extending aging vetrans. Up until last night I was sure extending him was the answer, now sadly I just dont know anymore.

He is a good QB and I know what we went through between him and Aikman but if he folds in big games what is the point?
