What he said is true but there comes a point when a team has to move on from a QB, although pretty good, that can't lead the team into the playoffs and beyond. The situation we have with Romo now is that many fans have reached that point where they think it's best to move on and many others have not. Both sides have valid arguments and it doesn't make anyone a hater because they have a different opinion from you on what the best path for the team is. I was a big supporter of Romo and defended him up until week 17 of this year. That was the point in which I decided that was too many letdowns for me. That doesn't mean I will not support Romo and that I want him to fail. He is the QB for my favorite team so I will cheer for his success. I very much want for him to prove me wrong because that would mean success for the Cowboys. Having said that, it is still my right to have my opinion that Jerry should have made him play out his final year and prove his worth. My gut tells me that if he folds again, it would be the right time to let him go. Now we can't. Thats all.
This, and excellent post. How I felt about Bledsoe. There comes a time when you realize it is not working and you have the wrong guy at the helm. And it is not like he is a young guy. Always an excuse why.
We can all talk about the cap, but it is darn important today considering what some QB's are asking for -- and getting. Will be interesting to see the Rodgers contract. At some point, that will stop because you cannot sacrifice your whole team because of what you have to pay for one player. Nuts.
And I believe in the cap. No one should be able to "buy" a team. Even though I think my team would benefit, it would be bad for the league. Like the Yankees in baseball - ruined the game. And with the cap all of the teams in the league have an opportunity to be successful. I am a big supporter of the cap. But what you have done with Romo is given yourself breathing space for this year, but next year -- yikes, unless it is restructured. But even then, at some point you have to pay the piper. Because all it does is put off what is going to hit your bottom line at some point.
I don't know, I think some of these contracts are just so far out of line. And when it starts to "bite" some teams, I think this nonsense will end. Sure, the QB is the most important player on a team, but when it gets to the point that you cannot field a team properly, then it has gone too far. I think we are reaching that point. Way out of line in my opinion.
But what the heck do I know, just my thoughts.
