FWST: Cowboys so confident in Romo they’ve talked extension

[Wood]

Dallas extended a player with blown out achilles heel. They are not seen as competent by most around NFL. Signing Romo just further solidifies Jerry place as being incapable of building championship teams. Its just locks this group into more mediocre seasons and more head-scratching plays at worst moment for Romo.

Everybody needs to just chill, considering that will only be like 2015.

It's amazing how quickly everyone has forgotten the Quincy/Hutch/Vinny/Deadslow days.

They've forgotten last season. And have their eyes mostly closed this season.

Yep. 8-8 would seem like a winning season.

On the field, this move will waste all the young talent on this team upon an aging quarterback with declining skills.

Off the field, this move runs the risk of sharpening the decline of the fanbase. I think fans are just tired of the Romo years.

I remember when fans booed Aikman, as if he could be replaced tomorrow if needed. We see how that turned out. I dread the day Romo either leaves or retires, just as I did with Troy. We haven't even hit rock bottom yet as bad as we've seen this team play.

Off the subject a bit, but this is something that defines a great coach in my opinion. Landry went from Roger to Danny White who took them to multiple NFC Championship games (not forgetting Meredith or even Craig Morton). BP won with multiple QB's both in NE, NY (converted safety for goodness sakes) and even here as well, although to a lesser extent. Belichick went 11 and 5 with Cassel, although who knows how he'd do long term without Brady. I guess what I'm saying is that I'd feel a bit more comfortable and confident if our current regime had some track record finding and/or developing quality a QB.

I guess it's better to be 7-9 than 5-11.

Agree!

[FiveRings]

I agree with extending Romo, he and Witten are seemingly the only two players on offense that can do anything, BUT can we at least wait until we have a winning record and he isn't LEADING the NFL in pics??

I'm getting really sick of watching Jerry pay these guys purely on upside and throwing production straight out the window.

yes for peanuts of a contract and one that will not hurt us in the salary cap and one that does not prevent us from drafting or replacing him as a starter.

We are talking about the most important spot on the team a guy who has come up small time and time again. One set to make millions upon millions with large effects on the salary cap. His last weaning season as a QB was 2009 finishing 11-5 and then we start of 1-5 with him before he goes out injured. Then 8-8 last year him costing us at least two wins all by himself which wold have helped Dallas make the playoffs. This year he is credited with 15 Turn Overs (not all on him but he is part of the blame).

Sorry if I am reluctant for the guy to be extended when you can always franchise a guy. This guy does not get the benefit of the doubt that a Peyton, Brady or Brees gets period.

And failing miserably at it!

The guy has missed on eight td passes already this season.
