Would you be all for getting a dropping qb at 16? And trade Romo and rebuild now? I doubt even if that happen Jerry will admit they're in rebuilding mode especially with Jason's last year on contract. I understand why people want him out of here, I think the percentage is low of that happening unless Jerry's friend, Johnny Football drops.
As has been stated, Romo's cap numbers would prohibit a trade. But since this is hypothetical, yes, I would trade him. Not because I think he's not a good quarterback. I just think his run has ended. I don't see the Cowboys fielding a team that was better than that 2007 team, at least not in the next two years. I think Romo has a good two to three years left before he starts hitting the serious decline.
One of the things I haven't liked about Jerry Jones is that he's a great businessman but not when he needs to be. Personally, I feel we held on to Aikman for too long, hoping we could win another championship with him when he was clearly in decline. We should have got rid of him via a trade. And by not trading him, it forced us into stupid decisions (the Joey Galloway/James Knight (?) trades, trying to get receivers for Aikman). We held on to Deion too long. We hold on to players too long.
That's great from a loyalty standpoint. Not so great from a business standpoint.
Now I hope I'm wrong and Romo leads us to a Super Bowl championship. But I just don't see it based on how this franchise is structured, its football philosophy and the aging/injury of its current superstars, which aren't many.
