Trade Romo to the Saints

[marsbennett]

Theyre going to draft Leinart.

That's the reality of the thing, unless you really give them something that they want. Do we need a young QB? If you ask me, yes. If you ask Bill, traditionally, I'd say hell no. Then why else trade up this year? Trade down would make more sense.

This thread is the only thread on any trade proposals that I've seen that had any reason to it at all. Now the first rounder for Romo straight up...that's you schticking there jack and Doomsday...unless that was proposed earlier where I haven't read....in which case, slam away.

As part of a package it would still take a lot, Romo in reality would only bring a day 2 pick at best. Dallas would have to give up our #1 and more than romo to go from 18 to 2.

And Saint fans would go nuts passing up one of the top 2 QB in this upcoming draft and I would as well if I were a saints fans, it would have been the same in Dallas had they passed on Troy Aikman. Your talking a non drafted QB with no starts or a Heisman winner and or the runner up in Young. That would not be a great way to start off your career as a HC with the fans base calling for your head because you pulled a stupid stunt for a career backup QB.

Insane, it would be. Do they need Ellis or Romo or our Assistant coaches (which is all we have to offer along with some of our own picks)? I honestly can't see it when you put it like that Doom...Maybe I'll just read an entire thread and comment after seeing what everyone says. The thread had a reasonable premise and has degenerated into every other trade thread I've read here.

No, the premise is really not reasonable.

Payton is a first time HC. He doesn't have the track record or clout to walk into NO and demand to buy the groceries.

The Saints FO has made it quite clear by dumping Brooks and hiring in the Payton in the first place - whose main asset is working with QBs - that they have every intention of adding a new QB. And (hopefully) you just don't get a #3 pick every year with a top prospect (in some people's eyes) waiting there for you.

Payton could think trading for Romo is the greatest idea ever. Doesn't matter. The Saints clearly have their sights on Leinart, and are certainly not going to pass up on him for a UFA because their rookie HC says so.

Make that it is just another bull**** trade thread that you can find at the zone.

:laugh2: :laugh1: Joke of the day! Please tell me who does. Either way that's not even the issue. Top ten or not, you're telling me Romo has more potential value than these two. You can't possibly be serious.

Not to mention that Lienhart was viewed as the #1 pick in last year's draft.

 

[Longboysfan]

Not going to happen.

Aaron Brooks, Adrian McPherson, and Todd Bouman (sp?) and a top pick.

I'll go down this road.
They will not trade a high round pick and pass on the top QB.

Wha? The original premise of the thread was NO trading their 2nd round pick for Tony Romo.

NO 2nd round pick= 34th overall selection.

Sorry, your response came right after my comment, but did not address anyone in particular. I saw the comment behind mine and took it the comment was directly to me when I was speaking to a subject that developed as the thread progressed. The more I read through it, the nuttier the thread got. By the time I got to where I had commented at all, I wished I'd never had said a thing to contribute to Fantasy Football Trades R Us. Go in peace and so shall I.

Summer - what basis do you use to make that blanket statement?


I've only seen Romo - and what I have seen is a classic pocket passer who likes to get the ball out decisevly and quick. Good arm strength, touch and accuracy. Ihave not seen or read about this "likes to scramble" you speak of. Please expand on your statement.

Thanks!

you do not remember reading that the coaching staff would like ROmo to stay in the pocket instead of taking off the 1st chance he gets?
