Would you trade a draft pick for RGIII?

Peyton Manning is the greatest at reading defenses at the line of scrimmage and adjusting. He's been the hardest QB to sack or even hit over his career not because he's always playing behind a great OL but because of his mind.

I think he would have excelled here or anywhere and made whatever line you had look infinitely better by his presence. As much as I love Romo, we're talking about the GOAT here. I'd have done whatever I needed to do to make that happen. It's a once in a lifetime chance.

Started celebrating early today? Manning needs protection just like every other QB.

Couldn't disagree more. What we have here is people who were wrong about Griffin coming out now acting like it's the situation in Washington that's led to this.

I think it's the fact he's a fraud as an NFL QB. Whether he's in Washington, New England, Green Bay or Dallas. He can't read defenses, he has no feel in the pocket, he's not accurate with the football and he lacks toughness. You smack him in the mouth and he plays like you smacked him in the mouth the rest of the game.

Complete fraud. One of the most overrated prospects to come out of the draft in the modern era. Here's a banquet of mid round picks. Please keep him off my team.

You feel a lot stronger about this than I do. Points taken

So true.

I've said it so many times but it always rings true. We have fans here who are so invested in their hatred of a particular player (Most often Romo) that they simply can not be bothered to be around when it's not going the way they really want it to. They'd rather Dallas not do well so that their hatred of whatever said player can be justified and true.

Most react to the extreme on a yearly basis. Sometimes players or even teams have a bad year. Sometimes they'll have a career year.

Still, Romo has done enough over his career and should have built up enough collateral with the fans that nobody would have disrespected him like that. It's an absolute insult to even compare him to Griffin or Foles. It's a direct smack in his face.

No, I've just been watching his entire career. Peyton Manning has never had bad protection. The main reason for that is his intelligence and pre-snap reads at the line of scrimmage.

It's not a coincidence that possibly the GOAT QB is also the hardest to hit or sack.

I couldn't agree more.

That's why anytime a Cowboys fan, or football fan in general, starts any part of the conversation with Romo sucks, or Romo is the problem, or any of that I immediately tune them out. They have zero football IQ and thus they have nothing to offer in a conversation on the sport.
