NFL Live Romo

[cwbyfan72]

I was at a bar and could not here....there was a big piece on Romo and the boys...just wanted to know how hard we got bashed by BSPN. Anyone know what was said?

 

[tunahelper]

I did not see it or hear it.

Here is what was said: TO will explode and Phillips is a softy and we expect Romo to fail.

This was just about Romo however.

I did not see it.

But it went like this:

{footage of the muffed snap}

Romo saying a few things, grinning ear to ear, with his baseball cap on backwards.

{footage from the Country Music awards with Romo holding her purse}

More Romo grinning and commentary.

End piece.

They mostly discussed his new contract and if he deserves it now or if the Cowboys should wait. The host said the Cowboys should sign him now because of his potential for another huge season and the price tag goes up. The "expert," was Floyd Reese (former Titans GM). He said they should sign him after the season. If they choose to sign him before the season, it should be an incentive based deal. Basically ... Pay him like Peyton if he plays like Peyton, pay him like a minimum player if he bombs out. So Floyd more or less said to make the base deal able to be eaten by our cap, but the incentives to be astronomical if he plays at a top 3 QB level.

AGREED. I actually said that to my brother as the segment aired.

Ask the Panthers if signing Jake Delhomme to a big contract after 1 good year and before the season started was a good idea.

I'm not saying he will, but what if he sucks? If we pay him a big contract that almost precludes us from using Cleveland's pick on a QB. I want McFadden as much as the next guy, but let's be serious, if we pass on blue chip QBs 2 years in a row and Romo isn't living up to expectations and has a big contract...

...you do the math.

Let him get some games under his belt. Let's see what he does and then if it looks good...go ahead. If he's amazing and the price goes up to me, that's a good thing.

The trouble with that is, it would be a distraction to the whole team, I fear, not just Romo.

Whatever else occurred last season, Romo made a believer of the team, filling them with confidence for this season. If it should appear that the front office doesn't share that confidence, it would be a downer, especially after passing on Quinn. It looks like "second thoughts."

Jerry Jones is a risk-taker. I don't think he will consider only the money he might gain or lose by showing ambivalence about Romo. He will also consider these other factors, uneasiness that salary and leadership uncertainty causes mid season.

He is a risk-taker, but I don't think he wants to risk putting a damper on the team's perception of its prospects this year and of Romo's current and future leadership.

I don't believe in season contract negotiations are distractions at all. That gets overplayed. Last year we did it with Witten, Roy, and Bradie. Can you show me the distractions of the team until we got the deals done?

My point EXACTLY, Dallas would be foolish to invest in a product after only 10 games. I would rather wait until the end of the season... :clap2:

Umm actually Floyd Reese retired from the game on his own and he actually was one of the better talent evaluators in the NFL, so I don't know about that comment..

AGREED. I actually said that to my brother as the segment aired.

See my comment above...

No, but none of those players were the leader, the man who handles the ball on every play, who the team looks to for inspiration and salvation late in the game.

(Maybe Roy is inspiration for the defense but the front office had not lauded him and then backtracked before doing the deal.)

I just think Jones will view this situation differently.

I just think "distraction" is overplayed and overrated. I've never heard a player saying it was a distraction unless there's a holdout and Tony won't do that.

He was squeezed out by Fisher.

The decision to take Adam Jones as well as his mismanagement of the cap were primary reasons why the Titans never seriously tried to renew his contract. So he resigned.

You know what is hillarious.

Monday on nfl live (the worst nfl program on earth) they were talking about tank and pacman, and there they are dogging the bears for drafting him and then hanging onto him for the superbowl and then cutting him now.

So then they get to pacman and the usual talking head mumbo jumbo that goes on and it seemed they were about to dog the titans as linda kohn threw it to Floyd reese and he just had a funny look on his face!

So funny, hello he drafted him, he is responsible in some way for that mess with the titans!


awkward and funny.

I think most people overestimate the involvement of players in their contract negotiations.

A great many players hear nothing about it until they get the final numbers right before signing.

I agree with you 100% on this.

I doubt it, the players know this is a buisness as well as a game, and it would probably be in JJs best intrest to wait. Passing on Quinn was already a huge sign of confidence in Romo.

Apparently you forgot they were title contenders, which is the main reason why they had such small cap space, with the likes of Eddie George, Steve McNair, Mason Etc.. And to respond to the Pacman Jones drafting, Jeff Fisher wanted Antrel Rolle out of Univ. of Miami, he hasn't exaclty lit up the NFL has he?

True - and no one can dismiss Pacman's talent. That guy had skills both as CB and as a returner. So for talent evaluation purposes - Reese was spot on. Pacman just has absolutely no common sense.

Besides a recent article revealed Pacman wasn't "boxed" by Parcells like Tank was. I bet alot of GMs would have taken him, including Bill.
