Talent wise , its not even close.
Cutler in 4 years compared to Romo now. I'll take Cutler any day.
You can't teach arm strength but can hone your accuracy. Thats why you don't see Romo with the Flea Flickers like Bledsoe. He can't get the ball that deep.
Dallas was able to move the ball with Romo and score points. They didn't need to use flea flickers. He can get the ball deep. He hit T.O. perfectly at Washington. How many flea flickers did Bledsoe even run? Maybe 3. Against Washington in 2005, that was the only offense they could generate? Romo doesn't have a rocket, but it is strong enough. The flea flicker has nothing to do with arm strength. If it works, it is just about lofting up there.
I would expect Cutler to get better next season. Denver has done a couple of things to bolster their offense. He could very well put up lots of yards and TDs, but still have some young QB struggles of turning the ball over and being a little innaccurate. He could have a Rex Grossman type season, but I think Cutler is probably better than Grossman.
Denver is a run first team. They ranked 26th in pass attempts. Dallas was not that much different ranking 20th in pass attempts. I don't see that really changing for Dallas this upcoming season. They may even pass less if the running game shows improvement. That sounds good to me because it isn't the amount of times you pass, but how effective you pass. Romo has shown good accuracy and gets yards in good chunks. He needs to cut down the turnovers and he can have a good season.
I give Romo the edge based on his experience. He only has a few games on Cutler, but he has a lot more practice time. It should be a decent bet, but not a sure thing. The yardage can slip toward Cutler.
