Romo 4 Cutler ?

[Cowboys2008]

I think the NFC North should be taking a long hard look at Cutler. And I mean, any and all, teams from that division. I don't think I've ever seen a division with worse quarterbacking, all needing help so yesterday.

As far as us though, nah, never. Romo is our guy. But I have to admit, his chances remaining are running low. It truly is his time to step up.

Which after this next season, I think we'll know one way or another, if Romo actually is that guy. And bring this question next spring, and it could be a completely different answer. Not having a TO there is going to be a telling tale. We'll just have to see how it plays out.

Guys like Brees, Rivers, Palmer (when healthy), Ryan, Flacco, and Cutler should still be in the conversation. Let's just say that if you polled the other 31 GMs, they'd come up with more than two names.

None of those guys are 'head and shoulders' better than Romo so why even entertain the thought?

And his advantage?

He knows the players and the offense around him.

 

[dcfanatic]

Anyone have the schedule for the upcoming "flavor of the week" threads?

I want to know whats coming up so I logoff for a couple of weeks... :laugh2:

Here's a few...

We should trade MBIII for a first round draft pick.

Carpenter is going to be the new Nickel LB.

Can Martellus Bennett play WR?

Peyton Manning would die behind our O-line.
Tom Brady has a little better chance than Peyton but in the end, same results.
Phillip Rivers, see Peyton Manning.
Drew Brees has some moves, he might survive.
Jay Cutler-young guy, strong arm, and most importantly for this team, he can scramble. Best choice. No brainer.

Now if our O-line provided more time I'd take Tom Brady for the win now montra but If we're talking long term then it's still Jay Cutler...


Amazing how all these football genius' around here didn't bother to factor in how porous the O-line is when making their esteemed selection for QB...

Cutler can move around in the pocket.

But has no where near the 'escapability' moves of Tony Romo.

People get on Romo for being a gunslinger....
Cutler is Favre Jr.
He has some of the worst decision-making skills in the NFL.
Besides, he's a loud mouth.
He dared to compare himself to Elway...
"I have a better arm than Elway"
Whether or not he does doesn't matter, you can't compare yourself to one of the best quarterback ever when you haven't accomplished anything...

At least Romo has a good attitude.

Romo is one of my favorite players on the team. He is my CZ backgroud and my wife and I have two jerseys we wear to work on Casual Fridays.

I am just a fan of talent. Always will be. I liked watching TO play when he was an Eagle and knew Randy Moss had more left in the tank in Oakland.

You cant teach height, speed and arm strength. I just like the big arm Qb's. The ones who underthrow a WR by 10 yards , into triple coverage , with future HOF playing centerfield just annoy the hell out of me.

Romo's arm hinders JG's playcalling and limits the field. TO can almost outrun anyone on the field yet Romo cant hit him deep in stride to save his life (Once every 4 games doesnt count.)

He is just like Cutler, unproven with less upside.

I like this guy.

 

[BIGDen]

I couldn't get the word "NO!" out fast enough.
Romo is one of the best.

 

[DallasDomination]

I'll give romo another year before I decide...But If he stinks it up then nobody will ever want to make a trade like this anyways. It's a pipe dream!. Cutler has a bigger arm and is younger. There is more upside in Cutler.

But I still think ROmo may have a chance to turn the ship around.

What if you've accomplished having a better arm than Elway?

Its not saying much. Michael Bishop had a better arm than 90% of QB's to ever play. Maybe even more than 90%.

Sorry for the smart *** post .

and i love people who think that because you like what we have you're a homer and must be made fun of because only a real fan will hate and want what you can't have cause it's safe and you can dream and live behind the WHAT IF so safely and always be a winner cause you spotted the flavor of the day.

woot.

You think he's on crack because he thinks Romo's one of the best QBs in the league, and you think there's a ship that needs to be turned around at QB. There's a whole lot more people on this board, and around the league that would agree with him than with you. Surely they're not all Cowboys homers?

 

[khiladi]

I'd like to see Romo in an offense that actually utilizes his talents. Shanahan runs a West-Coast offense and he probably saw in Romo the qualities that make him suitable for it. They include, mobility and throwing on the run, as well as a short passing game. People may argue that Romo's accuracy wasn't good last year when ti came to the short-ball, but I think that was more of the fact that the play-calling never established a tempo for him. Our offense played in hiccups, going for periods of just horrible play-calling, thrown in with a couple quick strike TDs...

 

[khiladi]

Our players are young, and the last thing they need is this type of discussion. The approach of this organization seems to be headed towards establishing some sort of continuity. Even the people that are taking the place of people like Canty, are those that have no problems adjusting to the style of play of the coaching philosophy.

I'm far from a homer. I criticize the Cowboys and the players plenty. Like many educated football fans, I believe that Romo is better than a majority of the qbs in the league. That makes him one of the best. That valid opinion makes me a homer? Whatever. I thought RW was overrated crap the past few years. Was I a "hater" because of that?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Romo, from Sept-Nov, is a great young QB.

At times in December and January he's been one of the worst in the league.

If he doesn't turn that around very soon the fans aren't going to continue thinking so highly of him.

 

[wileedog]

I'd give strong consideration to Brees and Rivers. Palmer's injuries (knee, elbow) are piling up. But when he's right, he has Aikman-esque abilities. No to Ryan and Flacco because I haven't seen enough. Cutler is intriguing because of his age, height, and arm, but that doesn't necessarily make him an upgrade over Tony.

I'd say that's a fair assessment.

 

[dallasfaniac]

Would I trade Romo for Brady or Manning? Yeah. Would I trade Romo for Cutler. Nope.

The only things Cutler has over Romo is his age and his arm strength IMO, but then that describes Kyle Boller too.

Cutler never had a winning record in college and was responsible for missing out on the playoffs each year he started in the NFL. You can't make the argument about surrounding talent when Plummer had them on track to make the playoffs in 2006 and then Cutler takes over and loses 3 out of 5. Plummer clearly outperformed Cutler, but Romo clearly outperformed Bledsoe, with the same talent on board.

As bad as Romo is in December, he has a 5-8 record, but Cutler has a 5-9 record, which is worse for those that can't perform basic mathematical equations.

I could go on and on with stats that suggest Romo is the better QB, etc. but I don't want to waste my time. For me it all comes back to the opinion I and several others had of him long before we brought in Owens, which won't change now that he is no longer here.
