If available, would you trade Romo for Cutler?

[mldardy]

Or sees a guy with more upside.

Yeah Romo having more upside than Cutler.

BTW that Offseason checklist in your sig has some very questionable moves. Some I am glad didn't happen like signing Ray Lewis, cutting Barber.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Or sees a guy with more upside.

Well... Romo is 28 and Cutler is 25... If by upside you mean career longevity yeah sure. Cutler will probably last longer than Romo. Statswise, they are similar. If Romo would cut down on his turnovers this debate would be over.

or is forever chasing todays hot player always will to give up what you have for what you don't but once you have it you just wanna trade it again cause trading is more important than playing.

After observing the antics of Cutler the last couple of years, I think I'd keep Romo.

Sure he's emotional, but he just wants to win. Besides, he's never been in trouble with the law. Oh wait, those are the old TO excuses. My bad.

 

[Idgit]

I'll spare you a ton of games, but I'll point to the most recent one where Romo put up a whopping 0 TDs on offense and about 183 yds total. I think that HOF wr had like 103 of those yards but I'm sure those yards will go to some other great WR next season.

Point blank, without the HOF wr, Romo is ordinary. I'd love to continue this wonderful conversation, I'll be hear all year to witness the great depression for the Cowboy fan base when they finally find out that the problem with this team starts with Garrett and ends with Romo. Good day

The Philly game? The team problems in that game were so significant, I don't think it's possible to blame any one player. If I were to blame one guy, though, it wouldn't be Romo.

We'll see how ordinary Romo is this year, since he won't have a HoF WR. Or, rather, he won't have a likely-HoF WR not playing anything near HoF-level next year.

Not a chance.

There aren't many QBs in this league better than Romo. Cutler isn't one of them.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I wonder.

At this very moment, I'd lean towards taking Cutler

Last year?...No way

From what I read, romo has better numbers re QB rating and passing percentages.
Plus Cutler is seen as sometimes strident and a verbal swaggerer. he was feuding with Rivers of San Diego and has publically criticized members of his team when they don't live up to his expectations. Though if he allows criticism from his teammates when he fails, is not known.

Romo is here. Cutler is there.
I don't know what good this speculation does.

 

[Doomsday101]

I agree. I think Cutler is a good QB I happen to think Romo is better

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Hmm... Didn't this come up in a thread before?

 

[wileedog]

Or sees a guy with more upside.

Tony Romo has a career 94.7 rating, 63.6 Completion %, 8.1 ypc avg, and almost 2 to 1 TD/Int Ratio.

Payton Manning has a career 94.8 rating, 64.4 Comp%, 7.7 ypc avg and little over a 2 to 1 TD/Int Ratio.

How much more upside exactly do you see for Cutler? Are you saying he is going to be a significantly better QB than Payton Manning?

 

[NeonNinja]

Why has this come up again, the answer is still hell no.

 

[sonnyboy]

The short and accurate answer is NO for many reasons.

However, I do think Cutler has better tools.

If you could've diguised them both and sent them to this years scouting combine, I would expect Cutler to receive a higher rating from just about every scout.

Agree with you 100%. But until then, I go with Talent.

Ill go with the guy who isn't a type 1 diabetic.

Its the smart thing to do.

 

[DallasFanSince86]

I agree with most of the posters in this thread, hell no on trading Romo for Cutler.

 

[DWhite Fan]

I personally would not trade Tony for any other QB in the league. Success with one team is no promnise of success in another. Anyone remeber the stunt that the Raiders and Oilers pulled before the 1980 season? The teams traded starting QBs (Stabler for Pastorini). Both QBs were never worth a crap again.

To those that are throwing stats out in defense of Romo, I will say to you what was told to me while I was defending Danny White back in the 80s. Stats don't mean crap! A QB is judged by jewelry, as in SB rings. Without the ring, the QB will always be looked upon as a failure. Don't believe me, just ask Fran Tarkenton. One more example: Who would you rather have, Dan Marino or Tom Brady?

As long as Romo falters in the crucial part of the season (December and January) he is going to be ripped. Comes with the position.....

Manning was ripped for years for not being able to win the big one. Then he did.

Were his stats less relevant before he won a big post-season game than they were afterwards? DId people really think he wasn't a good QB and want to trade him for someone like Jay Cutler, who hasn't done anything in the league yet but cry? And if they did, wouldn't they have been very, very stupid?

I understand that is the way QBs are judged, but I will also say that a guy who has the ability to make plays gives your team a better chance than the guy who doesn't, whatever happens in the postseason. Dilfer and Johnson have SB rings too.

I'll also say this - if I was building a team from scratch, and was picking a QB without looking at post-season records, I would take Dan Marino over Joe Montana every day and twice on Sunday. He was a far more physically gifted QB who could destroy you despite having mediocrity around him. If he ever had a team with a defense or if he had Jerry Rice he could have won anything Joe did. There wasn't some secret magic ingredient Montana had that others don't, he had a damn good football team around him and a great coach and he made the most of it. That's it. But I bet a ton of people out there are gasping "What, not take Joe and his rings? Blaspheme!"

To belabor the point once more, if Crayton doesn't pull up on a route, makes the catch for the TD and we hold on for another minute to win the Giant playoff game, we are talking about that amazing comeback drive Romo engineered to win and how he is one of the good ones. But because Crayton didn't, we are talking about trading him for Cutler. How does that make any sense?

p.s. Danny White got screwed with this BS too.

 

[bbgun]

I agree with most of the posters in this thread, hell no on trading Romo for Cutler.

I'm sure a lot of Denver fans feel the same way.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Sure he's emotional, but he just wants to win. Besides, he's never been in trouble with the law. Oh wait, those are the old TO excuses. My bad.

:laugh2:

 

[Vintage]

Neither has won a playoff game....both have question marks on how they end the season...

So.

Eh. Why change? Unless we're going to get real change (like... for Brady!)
