[Aviano90]

It’s my planet...of Murray doesn’t fumble against the packers...of the Dez catch is ruled correctly the narrative is very different...have a nice day sir!!

Or Romo wasn’t taking bad sacks and fumbling on 3rd downs.

In 2013, Tony Romo famously signed a 6-year, $108 million contract extension. Combined with the $11.5 million he was already owed as salary in 2013, that gave him a 7-year, $119.5 million contract at the start of the 2013 season. In the 4 seasons from 2013-2016, Romo played only 34 games, and collected $65.5 million - an average of $1,926,470.58 per game played. That is the equivalent of $30.82 million per 16 games played.

Keep this in mind when you hear news about the contracts QB's are getting today.

so we knew this he was making about 19 mil on AAC most of his career he never made 32mil in any season that I can recall but even if he did how does this matter in Daks siation?

they are not connected , besides one would argue who better and who deserved more.. opening up this can of worms does nothing to support paying Dak 40plus mil..not sure the reason for the post.Romos retired

if anything its sports not paying dak because IMO hes not better then romo and nether has done anything to deserve it as far as playoff runs go..

Most of the top 10 QB deals have QB that has been to a Championship game and or a SB and most have won at least one..not all but most..Dak or romo never sniffed the glory ditch..

Did he already have one eye on his next contract?

Tom Brady made $5,000,000 per game in 2008. That is the equivalent of $80 million per 16 games played. He only played one game that season.

That's how silly this looks.

Yes but that includes the games he missed due to injury. A skewed statistic.

Did it cost the Cowboys 30M on the cap in any given season? If Dak signs for 35m per season over 4 years and tears his ACL one season or since he had some shoulder problems last year wind up at some point in the next 4 seasons having to have some surgery (it can happen) and misses 12 games well over a 4 year deal at 175m he would play 52 games at a cost of 3.36m per game.. but he wouldn't have a salary cap hit average of 53m per season because he missed some games....so what's your point? i don't get it, injuries are part of the game

 

[Techsass]

I'm really happy for Tony -- surely seems to me he's sitting pretty these days. He's got it made!

Fame, fortune, beautiful wife & family and likely among the best NFL sports announcers on TV.

What was that infamous quote of his about having a good life despite the loss that everybody absolutely hated him for saying?

You live in a world of ifs. If I had 999,999 more dollars, I’d be rich.

Post makes no sense.

Math is hard,,,

 

[DandyDon52]

Ok, hold on. Romo only played 34 games in those four seasons because he was injured for many games. This is an artificially high pay-per-game statistic.

This would be like if Dak got a $35 million per year contract, but tore his ACL near the end of Game 1, and thus his detractors claimed "Dak was paid $35 million per game."

Players are paid by contract regardless of whether their bodies are physically able to play or not. You don't forfeit your salary because you are on injured reserve or can't start.

that is what I was gonna bring up lol
That is manipulating the numbers to have a desired conclusion.

Murray's fumble was irrelevant. There's no way he doesn't get tackled. It's clear from the sideline. And the Dez play was called correctly.

 

[AbeBeta]

jesus some of y’all are stuck in the past . Murray fumble yes .Dez catch was ruled correctly as much as I hate it. Besides who had confidence the defense was going to hold up had we scored

if Romo would have just hit the wide open Beasley underneath they very well may have scored without leaving Rodgers time

but that was just his nature go for juggler take the risky path versus the more methodical path

he was a gunslinger to a fault and it didn’t always work out in his favor that’s why his dumb butt was always hurt at the end of career

well that and Garrett and jones putting him in a tough spot earlier in his career

Going "for the juggler."

That's up there with "fade into bolivian."

A turnover that halted a promising drive and turned in to points for the other team is irrelevant?

The call on the Dez play is debatable, (it was a catch) but the fact that Dez had it and could have just secured the ball and taken the first down is not. Dez blew it.

Both of those plays were huge in both the Cowboy's fortunes and in Romo's legacy.

 

[bandfan]

Because all of the players practice, go to meetings, and team oriented events for free....

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Truth..... Romo is one of my favorite people in all of sports. I just think he's a decent person. Tony Romo, all day long, was a terrible deal for the Cowboys. Really good QB but not worth the money IMO. His contract seriously hurt this team. We barely finished paying Tony's contract off last year. Who represented him? CAA...............

His cap hit ended in 2018 (not last year) because we retired him as a June 1st transaction the same way any other retirement or cut could have been handled. Therefore we split his remaining cap accounting hit over two seasons (no money was actually paid). This is a standard process. We will probably do the same with Fredrick this year.

We stopped paying him after the 2016 season when he retired. This is not a difficult thing to look up.

I get people saying he may not have been worth what we paid, but why act like his retirement was treated any differently than any other player who retires while under contract?

Cowardly perspective and actually inaccurate anyway. That narrative has always been so incredibly spineless. And no, Beaz was only seemed "wide" open in a still photo with no pass rush or angles taken into account.
Perfect throw to Dez that was completed. heroic even.
If someone wants to say it later became incomplete due to the rules that were later changed and because Dez being Dez, wanted to extend the play into a TD, that's fine. The pass and catch were beautiful and the decision to take advantage of Dez finally getting single coverage was brave and exactly what SB winning QBs do vs trying to *****-foot dink and dunk to a title.
