Jerry wants his Romo

[Alexander]

You are correct, Romo is weak!

If he used that to take a shot sure. But I don't think it is.

 

[Doomsday101]

All at the team's expense. Terrible GM.

I agree as I mentioned in another thread Dallas will pave to pay out 54 mill to Romo over the next 3 years. They will not do that, that is beyond stupid if they were. I would rather not have Romo go to Houston being that I live here but Houston OL is not going to keep Romo up and walking

Oh c'mon man? That was a bedtime negotiation and if it were so innocent it would have been posted at bedtime.

 

[chagus]

Not "better" enough to carry entire team .... apparently.

With a better QB, that defense and team could be scary good.

Well, since you invoked the "nothing good ever comes out at bedtime" rule, I am a believer now.

No, I'm invoking the "we post cute videos of our kids as they occur" rule. That's not what happened here.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Of course Jerry wants his Romo,...what other HOF EOTY GM wouldn't jump at the opportunity to have a 14M backup fragile QB.

 

[TheSkaven]

Nah. Ain't buying it.

I think common sense has won out in the front office. If they are going to make Romo a June 1 cut, then there is no reason to cut him now. Hold onto him as long as you can.

This. I don't get the rush - there is no urgent on doing anything at least until the league meetings and probably until off season program starts, when teams will want their starter in camp.

The team gains nothing by cutting him now.

The Cowboys will always be bigger in Texas and nationwide than the Texans, no other way around it.
Saying that, if Romo goes to the Texans it will obviously make them a seriuos contender and therefore a more watchable team, I bet they would get more primetime games than before and I am sure Jerry wouldn't love that.

 

[Stash]

They made the playoffs despite having the worst QB play in the league. Denver didn't make the playoffs with better quarterback play.

 

[LittleD]

I don't understand why you guys think $14 million dollars is lot for a franchise QB. It just isn't. You could apply the same rationale to every player on the roster. Why play any of them? They might get hurt.

It's quite a lot for a backup QB and that's all Tony is or could be for the Cowboys at this point. They have chosen to go with Dak
as their QB starter and Romo is not going to be happy being a backup. Without a healthy starting QB, you have seen the Cowboys
go 4x12. That's what normally happens.

 

[khiladi]

That's what I think will happen, but that's not what Jerry wants. He wants Romo here.

Who, in their right senses, doesn't want the better QB here?

Jerry probably never wanted him not playing anyways and wants him to finish his career here, which is probably just a year or two and have Dak take over then.

fwiw, Stash
Both teams did have the same 9-7 record and Denver did play a much tougher schedule in a much tougher division... yet still scored more points and gave up less than Houston, by a large margin.

 

[Nav22]

I was actually thinking about this the other day.

I'm not from Texas so I don't care about the Houston Texans much, and most NFL fans wouldn't even think of the Cowboys vs Texans being any sort of "rivalry"... but it wouldn't surprise me if Jerry views them as rivals. They're the other team in Texas, after all.

Imagine for a second that Romo actually wins a Super Bowl with the Texans. I think Jerry would be absolutely horrified at such a scenario, so it makes sense that he'd strongly prefer a deal with the Broncos.

Eye-opening facts to be sure. Thanks for sharing them.

But in looking at both teams, Houston had the top-ranked defense last year and are getting JJ Watt back. Denver's defense continues to lose players. And I think Houston has the better offensive line, running back, and TE's, and the overall WR depth charts may be a push.

I don't see how Romo to Houston should be dismissed so casually.

 

[hornitosmonster]

I don't understand these threads. Jerry has turned the corner and is no longer Maverick Jerry who traded for Roy Williams a few years ago. If he was the same he would have given Mo a max contract. New Jerry let him, a marginal and often injured player, walk. One might say it is his son but that still takes Jerry giving authority to his son...understand that!! The team is sitting in a better spot because of this new found shrewdness. He gave you the current offensive line, RB, QB (who other teams would kill for). Appreciate the good work going on and forget the past because the team is on the way back to 90's glory

Above all else, I can't imagine a worse look than a GM getting nothing in return for another team filling the biggest need in all of sports.

Oh, I think Houston is the better fit overall.

The Pass rush in the AFC West is the best in the NFL.

Really? If he kept Romo it would be great for the team.
