Romo vs Cutler

[McCordsville Cowboy]

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.

so where would you guys rank ROMO as a build your team around him QB..

Philip Rivers
Alex Smith
Eli Manning
Jay Cutler
Matt Schuab
Vince Young
Matt Leinart
Brady Quinn
Jamarcus Russel..

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I dunno... I really like Cutler. A lot.

Maybe Shanahan will keep the reins pulled in on him, though.

I like him too Lab. I think it's only a matter of time before he becomes a star in the NFL. JMO of course.

You must excuse me. I like Smith much more then most fans on this board do. I personally believe that he is going to be a great QB but we will see.

I would put Romo after Rivers.

 

[BLT]

yea id probably but him after rivers too.. not a great endorsement for our QB.. basically just middle of the road..

Romo was better than Cutler this past year, but you are most likely going to lose both bets.

:jerk:

 

[the kid 05]

who is denvers WRs anyways?

 

[Tricericon]

At WR Denver has Javon Walker, a bunch of young guys with 'potential', and Brandon Stokley. Their TE isn't good yet but probably will be. Their O-line is better than ours.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Cutler is a good young QB, but Romo has better weapons around him and a bigger leash as far as throwing the ball...

having a strong arm doesn't mean you are more talented, or Jeff George would be the most talented QB in the history of the game

don't forget Romo is one heck of an athlete himself, I think the 2 are pretty close in terms of overall talent

They also added Daniel Graham at TE, he should be good in that system.

Talent is so overrated.

Peyton Manning and Tom brady don't have monster arms, either. It's their dedication and smarts, and almost uncanny foresight, as well as familiarity with a system, that makes them the best.

Arm strength has very little to do with it.

Romo has all the arm strength he needs in the NFL. He can make any throw needed. We ran the flea-flicker the same number of times with him that we did with Bledsoe - once. Only it didn't work becase his arm got hit when the protection broke down.

He led the league in YPA for a reason.

I agree. Romo can make all the throws so as far as arm strength he has enough to do the job what separates top QB's from the rest is the decision making whether that is knowing when to throw it away or making quick decisions in the face of pressure

If talent is overated the Cowboys should trade down and just pick all 7th rounders and save a lot of money.

If that would prevent people from reading the first line of a post and then making some stupid, inane comment that has nothing to do with the body of the post, then I'd be all for it.

Yee-haw.

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.

Cutler definitely has the physical gifts to be a great quarterback, and I'm pretty sure he has a bigger arm than Romo.

But!

Romo has the experience and intelligence. Plus one thing no one else in the league has. MOXIE!!!

Romo has barely more experience than Cutler.

I thought coming out of college that Romo had the reputation of being "strong armed".
