Time to redo Romo's contract?

[visionary]

he's making well below market...so why should he take a cut again?

lol he is not taking "well below market"
He us being paid like a top 7 QB

 

[texbumthelife]

I couldnt care less about total value...someone signing a 20 year contract has more total contract value than someone signing a 2 year, derp.

I dont understand people being so wrong in the day of the internet

Look at average guaranteed per year. Look at total guaranteed.

Maybe learn how to have an educated argument without resorting to name calling. Class: get some.

 

[visionary]

Rodgers, higher guaranteed, Brees, higher guaranteed, Ryan, higher guaranteed, Newton, higher guaranteed, Rivers, higher guarantee, Eli, higher guaranteed, Ben, higher guaranteed....

By your own past only Rodgers, Cam and ryan have more guaranteed than romo so please stop this nonsense

Exactly. It's a ridiculous argument.

Leaving the team unprepared at the most important position would seal our fate for another 10 years.

Our fate is already sealed:

Clearly you cant read the "% guaranteed" column...

 

[texbumthelife]

Rodgers, higher guaranteed (one ring), Brees, higher guaranteed (one ring), Ryan, higher guaranteed (significantly younger), Newton, higher guaranteed (significantly younger), Rivers, higher guarantee, Eli, higher guaranteed (two rings), Ben, higher guaranteed (2 rings)....

If you want to talk about the market, than talk about the actualy market, not just your one-sided manipulation of it. The market isn't a vacuum.

And then read the "% guaranteed" column....brains, get some.

By your own argument that isn't important. % guaranteed of a four year deal can't be compared with % guaranteed of a six year deal so on and so forth.

You do not pay a QB based off ring count nor age (though that does determine length of contract which messes with total contract value). Market is paying a QB for how well you anticipate him to play in the future.

Average guaranteed per year is the most important and telling stat when comparing contracts operating in different values in multiple variable.

Yes, actually you do. You may not like it or agree with it, but that absolutely has an effect on the market.

yes it does lol. Percentages take out the length of the contract for a more direct comparison.

$2 mil per year for 4 years, $8 mil, $4 mil guaranteed, 50% guaranteed.
$1 mil per year for 8 years, $8 mil, $4 mil guaranteed, 50% guaranteed

Look around the NFL and you can see what The QB position costs. He's earned every penny of it.

You don't hand out 100 million dollar contract extensions to guys on the wrong side of thirty without consequences. How many times has Romo restructured that extension? Twice? I don't know if you remember the salary cap hell years or not. I can tell you handing out badly structured contracts to aging players for past performance has hurt this franchise more often than not by compounding the problem. Romo couldn't make it through a quarter season this year. What happens in 2016? Does he have a comeback in him? Maybe he does. Then again considering his age and recent injury history he's quite likely to miss significant time in 2016. What about his skillset in 2016? NFL players have a funny way of hitting a wall without notice. When does Romo hit that wall? That's a multi million dollar question that is yet to be determined. I can say this with complete certainty, Romo is closer to the end of his NFL career than not and Jerry and company better have plans A-Z in place ASAP.

I posted a chart, not a graph. But that explains why I am having to spell everything out.

Exactly! Average guaranteed per year is the most suitable number when making a comparison with so many variables.

A chart is a graphic representation of data. All charts can be considered graphs by very definition.

this is mostly misnomer. broken bones arent indicative of someone having an injury problem, esp when the second one was well known to have been possible since it wasnt fully healed.

broken bones are from trauma...its not like he has osteoporosis or something.

Tony is ranking 12th in guaranteed per year...again, below market (his playing capability)

check. mate.

If you go back and read, I said in comparison to the three guys you listed.

I love how you have decided that you set the qualifiers for "market value". Age and success have nothing to do with it, even though they're actually quantifiable. No, instead you set it by "playing capability" which is so clearly subjective it's not even relevant.

If you want to manipulate the argument in blind defense just so you can be right, go for it. I am going to go talk with the adult now.
