Do you guys still think Romo is a franchise QB?

Absolutely. He will need to prove as much this year with an arguably lesser WR corps.

Romo should be fine, his legs can get him out of trouble until one of his receivers opens up.

There is no doubt in my mind. I think it is ridiculously foolish to even ask this.

And hate to break it to you, but this is far from a make or break year. He is our quarterback.

I think he's about to have his best season. He's decisive and accurate in camp. He spreads the ball around and has PLENTY of receiving targets to throw to.

I dont know that he'll approach 2007 yards and TD's, but I could see his rating and completion percentage rise and interceptions drop.

I think he'll break all of his 2007 numbers. We're not switching to a run first team. The "Romo friendly" term is accurate. This is a Romo friendly offense. He's allowed to throw it all over the place and he does.

Like I said in my "camp observations" thread, this is based off a weekends' worth of training camp practices I've watched so take it with a grain of salt. But Romo was on fire all weekend.

Yes, he is a franchise quarterback.

Q: In your opinion, which goal(s) must Romo not meet in order for the Dallas Cowboys' front office to decide that 2009 will be a 'break season' for him?

I didnt think or want us to be a run first team. The short passing game can be used as a running game, and our Oline has never shown they can be trusted to be a smash mouth team. Our backs and TE's will be used extensively I'm assuming. You remember that guy, I think he played for the Chiefs. Green or something? Yeah.

If you saw camp live you have more insight than many of us on this board, and I'm glad to hear of Romo's "success." I've never been worried about our offense this offseason and hearing of Romo spreading it at will is good to hear.

The only thing I'm worried about on this team (outside of injuries) is the O-line. And that's because I have no idea how they'll perform. It could be a 2007 (great) or 2008 (terrible) repeat. You can't really gauge O-line much in training camp.

They have to stay healthy.

I think we're fine quality wise if they stay healthy. But if Proctor or Free/McQ have to play more than a game or two, ouch.

Yes He's still our franchise Qb. His talent and potential alone will give him at the very least 2 years. We will find out alot about romo this season.

He's probably lost it. Definitely a great player on the field, but he plays golf in the offseason and said some things I didn't like in a post-game interview once. He doesn't play as well against great defenses as he does against mediocre ones, and, unlike Roger and Troy, his statistics drop when he runs for his life a lot.

We'll definitely find out a lot of stuff we've seen for the last three years already about Romo this season. I'm giddy just thinking about how much we'll learn.

I never thought that he is one. That doesn't mean i wouldn't want him to be one. And that doesn't mean with more time to judge his ability i wouldn't say he is one.

The problem for me is he had one good year where someone could argue that he has the talent to be one. The last year then was medicore.

First: One year doesn't make a player a franchise QB. Second problem i have is the time to judge the ability of Romo - especially with that last year being a bad one - is just to short.

So as someone stated above: the coming season won't be a make or break year for Romo. But it won't be the answer neither if Romo is a franchise QB. He will have a few more great year to be called a franchise QB.
