Romo or RGIII?

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I'd rather trade him for Andrew Luck.

I would do the trade. Personally I think I would be optimistic the future is secure. The present sucks and the future won't have Romo in it. RG3 is a better QB prospect than the others coming out and is akin to the #1 overall pick. I love Romo and Romo is better than RG3 right now but he won't be a year or two from now IMO.
RG3s health concerns me but his growth trajectory and improvement over the next few years to me is not in question. He will be very good to outstanding if the knee stays healthy.

What else does your crystal ball indicate?

What else does your crystal ball indicate?

that you have no opinion of any substance to offer about my response.

I would trade our 1st round pick this year to NOT ever have Griffin as our QB.

So there's your answer.

Couldn't agree more.

There is NOTHING about RG3 that makes me want him on our team. He can't stand in the pocket and pick apart defenses, and he can't even run anymore (not that I'd want a QB that NEEDS to run to be successful anyway). Seems to be a lil diva too, which doesn't help his case.

Grantland really has no dog in the fight, so I found this a pretty objective article on RG3 2013

For the record, at the end of 2012 the answer was obvious to me, I'd take Griffin. Now I am not nearly as sure and sort of wonder if the Commanders should cut ties with a trade today (with whatever team can't find a QB in this draft) and go all in towards Winston next year.

Along with that, the Commanders had a historically terrible special teams, another terrible defense, and a ridiculous circus engulfing the franchise. As with Cam Newton in his 2nd season, the things going on around the QB certainly had an impact, along with a clear regression in QB play.

My B&G glasses on, the hope is that with a full healthy offseason, additional OTAs (thanks to having a new coach the Commanders get extra OTAs) and a clean slate with the coaching staff, Griffin hits the level of play he had in 2012

Coordinator Kyle Shanahan’s offense hasn’t done Griffin many favors. Last season, the Washington offense evolved into a dangerous hybrid of the West Coast, the Denver Broncos’ stretch running game, the Nevada pistol read-option, and the Baylor spread. With Alfred Morris carrying the load on the ground and Griffin slinging strikes off play-action, Washington was tied for first in the NFL in yards per play. But Griffin’s legs were the glue that held these pieces together. Defenses, while also trying to defend more traditional looks, faced the constant threat of Griffin keeping the ball on a read-option, running a bootleg pass, or simply scrambling for a key first down — or touchdown.

But while playing with a diminished Griffin this season, the Commanders seem to have junked most of the Baylor influence and instead alternated erratically between Shanahan’s stretch run game, the pistol, and the“bunch” passing plays that NFL defenses have faced for years. The Commanders have been running three disparate offenses that don’t add up to one coherent whole.

Washington’s disjointed schemes don’t entirely absolve Griffin, however. Game plan issues aside, Griffin still missed open receivers, throws, and blitzes this season. I don’t remotely buy the notion that Griffin “can’t read defenses” or is merely a “one-read quarterback” (whatever that’s supposed to mean), as I’ve seen him locate secondary receivers and I know he understands defensive coverages. Still, one doesn’t need to be Peyton Manning to know this isn’t how it’s supposed to work:

Despite all that, I’m still optimistic about Griffin’s future. He was one of my favorite all-time pro prospects when he came out of Baylor, and, unless injuries ultimately shorten his career, I still believe he’ll be a fantastic NFL quarterback. Inconsistent play is the norm for young quarterbacks, not the exception. It’s hard to find a person who doesn’t think Andrew Luck will be a star (and I agree), but Luck still had a four-game stretch this season in which he threw two touchdowns compared with five interceptions; Colin Kaepernick appears to be playing better now that he has a more complete set of healthy receivers, but he has delivered some clunkers this year, including a game against the Seahawks in which he averaged negative yards per passing attempt after factoring in sacks and interceptions. And it’s only rubbing salt in the wound for Ravens and Giants fans to note that, at least statistically, Griffin’s 2013 season rates out better than all but two of Joe Flacco’s six seasons, and that it took Eli Manning until his fifth season to have a better passer rating than the one Griffin managed this year — a year pretty much everyone declared “awful.”

Given the age of Romo and RG3 I would swap the two.

I've done that before...

Benched for his own safety.

The skids got themselves the TO of QB's and someone wants him in Dallas while he's ripping his current team apart all while setting that same team back 3-5 years depth wise?

Leave him in Maryland and kick the tires on him when Romos replacement needs a back up or if the Cowboys need a camp body.


PHAIL!!!

It's not even close, Romo all day every day. Subway Bob isn't in Romo league, Romo is a real legit NFL QB.
