Does Jeremiah know what he's talking about? Claims Romo or Garappolo headed to Bears

So that's your prediction he'll sign with Washington? Not happening! That rumor just started up and you bought right into it. lol

You really struggle with reading comprehension. I have no idea what the hell he'll end up doing. Honestly, I don't really care at this point.

I just find it funny that you have your panties in a bunch about Romo in Houston and then it gets said that he could end up in Washington.

So you think teams would go through the trouble of negotiating a contract with Romo and agreeing to terms...but then not want to trade until Draft Day? While on the clock? Come on man.

I'm not saying it's going to happen but you can't rule anything out. A lot of things are floating around, even Romo ending up in Washington which sounds pretty ridiculous but that's where we're at with this.

I don't struggle with anything, it's your inability to convey your thoughts that are the issue. I'm just going by what you posted. Everyone has an idea what might happen and the possibilities are endless. All we can do is speculate. If Romo ends up in Houston it won't bother me in the least as long as it's not for a 5th round pick or worse.

This is what you said.


No, this is what I actually said:

Team Chemistry maybe. If you allow him to walk, you probably get better compensation then a 5th rd pick in next years draft. If he walks and signs elsewhere, then you could get a 4th or better for him in compensitory picks.

And this was in response to a question on what do you get if you just release him.

I also said this, although I see you have neglected to post what else I've said on the subject. Here, let me help you with this. I know it's just way easier for you to try and cherry pick but for the sake of continuity, let me see if I can help you see your way to posting the truth.

I also said this, in response to Sydia's post saying that he didn't believe you could get compensation for Tony:

You may be right. I always thought that if a player asked for release and the team granted it, they were eligible for compensatory picks but that many not be the case.

How convenient for you that you can simply ignore the parts of the discussion that do not fit the narrative.

Half the story? Our entire discussion on Romo was in that thread. Show me a post where I said he would play until he's 40? I've already proven you don't get your facts straight. You just claimed you didn't say we could get a 4th round comp pick for Romo when you did say that and I provided your quote.

If you find the thread where we are talking about resigning him and not trading him, then I probably could but to what end? You like to bait and switch, we all know this about you. You tell half the story, we know this about you. Frankly, I have no desire to hold your feet to the fire from conversation that took place 5 years ago or whatever the case. What I am telling you, and you can accept this or not, is that you don't know what will happen. To say that a certain thing won't happen because of x, y and z is silly. None of us really know and that is the truth.

You said "probably" a 5th round pick. You went onto say "If he walks and signs elsewhere, then you could get a 4th or better for him in compensitory picks." You claimed you made no mention of a 4th round pick.


No. I never said that the Cowboys would get a 4th rd pick.

EVERYTHING we discussed about trading AND re-signing Romo was in that thread. I never said he "would" play until he's 40, that's 100% false.

You obviously don't understand the concept of saying something tongue in cheek.

I was not predicting Romo to Washington. I was commenting on erod's post.

And LOL at the whole it won't bother you if he ends up in Houston as long as it's for a pick in the 4th round or higher. Your logic is so bizarre, it's almost sad at this point.

Right, in response to the question of, what is the benefit of just releasing him. Actually, trying to find reasons why that might be beneficial and I didn't say "Probably" a 5th. I said "Probably" better then a 5th. But, as I said in another post, to you specifically, and as I showed you just know, I acknowledged that there would be no compensation. You, you are still beating the drum of release and get nothing as opposed to trading for any pick, based on an article from a few days ago, no doubt.

What exactly are you arguing now? Specifically, what are you trying to argue, with regards to Tony?

Things are said on this board all the time and most of it is posters bring serious. If you have the capabilities of deciphering what's meant to be tongue and cheek comments on this board, good for you. It won't bother me if he ends up in Houston but not for a 5th round pick. I never specifically said I would be happy with a 4th round pick but that along with a decent player would satisfy me.

Ok, whatever you say. Be that as it may, the discussion was still about resigning all our players, at the time and as time went on, it is clear that we did not do that.

What exactly are you arguing, with regards to Tony Romo?

And if he does end up in Houston or where else for a 5th round pick, exactly what does that mean in the big picture of life?

Apparently, it would be BAD for the Cowboys to trade him for a 5th round pick or worse, largely because of some sort of bizarre insult/negative PR to the Cowboys. That in the case where the compensation for him would be low, it would be better to just cut him and get absolutely nothing back at all. However, there apparently is a clear line between a 5th and 4th round pick where if you got a 4th rounder for him, it would be smart to trade him where if you only got a 5th, it would bring scourge and shame to the Cowboys front office.

You said better than a 5th and went onto say a 4th round pick which you denied ever saying.

I'm just telling you what was said and if you think I'm wrong feel free to provide some quotes because our ENTIRE discussion on Romo was in that thread. We didn't lose any key players trying to re-sign Romo which you feared. You insisted we couldn't re-sign him and you were wrong.

My argument now is he won't be back with the Cowboys next season because we found his replacement and he makes too much money to be a backup and he doesn't want to be a backup. Him not being back with the Cowboys next season isn't something complicated to figure out.

I did not deny it. I explained it in context. I explained that it was in response to what might be the benefits of just releasing him. I didn't say that this is what we would do or even that this is what we would get for certain. I posted it all for all to read. You don't want to admit that because it takes all the wind out of your sails. I don't care one way or the other here.

What is it you are arguing? I've asked you multiple times and no response. Are you just arguing to argue? That would seem to be the case here. I think you are just making noise.

I don't believe he'll end up anywhere for a 5th round pick.

You denied saying we could get a 4th round pick in compensation for him, I posted your quotes. :rolleyes: It's time we move on from this. We're not going to agree on anything else so let's agree on that.

How about you stick to this conversation here and not the one from 5 years ago. What are you arguing?
