This is one of the worst ideas ever. Sorry but it is.
So we trade Romo and get us a second rounder. I have no doubt of that. And since we're trading him, and calling it a season, we'll finish no better than 5-11 anyway so we should be in the top 10 to pick.
Now you're obviously wanting to pick one of those 3 Heisman guys or you wouldn't have even mentioned them.
Bradford will be, no doubt, a bust. You can mark that down he'll be a bust. First off all he's more brittle than any other QB coming out. He isn't built to take a lick and in the NFL he'd take licks. Especially behind our O-Line whose average, at best, at pass blocking. You're possibly thinking, like others, that our O-Line is pretty good at Pass blocking cause Romo makes them look that way by being able to move. Sam can't move nearly well enough. He'd be smashed. Next.
Colt McCoy I guess is next on your list of Heisman guys, and i'm guessing that's because you believe he'll win it this year. Maybe he could be a good starter. That's a toss up. I don't know about him honestly. I've seen him play many times. He looks great at the college level but who knows.
Then there is Tim Tebow. Superman to many. The kid is great. I'll give you that he might be the best college QB to play. But heres the deal about Tebow. Great kid and all, can't help but like him, but he won't even play QB at the NFL level. No way, no how. Doesn't have nearly the arm to be able to play in the NFL at QB.
Now he might get a little QB time, here and there, cause of the wonderful Wildcat, but for the most part Tebow will be playing like a TE or something. There is simply no way he plays every down as an NFL QB.
That leaves a guy like Snead who could be a good NFL QB in a couple of years. So maybe you take the chance on that. But here's the deal. You just traded your QB for a 2nd, whose already proven he can play on the NFL level. Now rather you believe he's a franchise QB, or a Championship potential QB, is another thing but he's already proven he can play on the NFL. He can produce on the NFL. But you've just traded him for the HOPE that you'll roll the dice on the right QB with your #1 pick and get it right. That the guy you pick will be the right one in a couple of years.
So you threw away this year, next year, and probably the year after that with the HOPE that you picked the right guy. That says nothing if you picked the wrong guy. Cause then you just threw away 4 or 5 years, at least, cause you picked him with a #1 pick, most likely in the top 10, and that means you gave him a crap ton of money and signing bonus. So along with the cap hit you took trading Romo for that second rounder, yeah, you're pretty much screwed now.
Then that doesn't even address the other glaring issues on this team that won't go away simply because you got rid of Romo. What did you do to address the average pass blocking O-Line? Absolutely nothing. Which means you just got your new top 10, multiple million dollar, QB killed a lot in his first couple of years cause he's getting beaten to death by a sub par O-Line.
How did this move help your defense? And most specifically D-Ware who needs some legit help on the other side to take the double and triple teams off of him. How about the safety position which is still poor? Did you get us any team speed with this move?
Maybe, maybe not.
But, hey, you got that HOPE at QB, right?

I dont know if I agree with the bolded comments. The main reason we are 2-2 and not 4-0 right now is because of Romo's play. He's been dreadful in the two losses. Even the Tampa game with all the nice numbers, he only made a handful of "good" throws that game and missed open guys then too.
I still think his mediocre play is because he is playing through an injury, but if he isnt injured and is just playing bad I'm not sure different coaches will matter much for him. He isnt a rookie free agent anymore, missing wide open guys and blatantly misreading defenses are something that should IMPROVE over time, not get worse. He's been in this same offense for 3yrs, yet this is by far his worst season as a starter.
As for Cowher, eh. Everyone knows my opinion of that knucklehead. He's definitely one of the 5 most overrated coaches of the modern era IMO.

The possibility of Tony Romo being traded during the season is as probable as Neil Armstrong walking on the surface of the moon again. So, when is it a good time to talk about Romo being traded?
Answer: During the season.
Answer: During the season.

That wouldn't do any good. They'd just let it build up for that day or two and then when he brought it back up the place would be flood by the rioting.
If we happen to lose today I know I'll be upset, and very disappointed, but I'll quite likely avoid this forum for a few days, at least, cause I already know what all the topics will be about.
Fire Wade. Fire Garrett. Get rid of Romo. Newman must go. D-Ware is average without Ellis so lets move him while we can. Yadda yadda. Same old, same old.
