You've already made the statement that trading up to the #1 overall spot would be a no brainer so I thought you had already made your evaluations to come to that conclusion. You have fans claiming they would make the trade in a heartbeat but can't come up with one player they would take with the pick. It's obvious this is all about fans giving up on Romo and willing to roll the dice on whoever.
Are you specifically asking me which team I would trade down with and then which player I would target or are you simply asking me if I had to stay at #1 over all, which would be highly doubtful, who I would take?
I don't remember you ever asking me that question but I could have missed it. I think it would be the Cowboys who decide to allow Romo to play out his contract. But to answer your question if Romo did decide to play out his contract and wait and see what his options are in 2014 I doubt they'll be any bidding war for him when he'll be 34 by the start of the 2014 season. At his age he won't want to move on and start over with another team no QB at that age ever does. If he moves on to another team it won't be his choice it will be the Cowboys choice.
Oh no. You have zero proof of this. Plenty of QBs have changed teams for big money late in there careers. Just do a little search and you will come up with 4 right off the bat.
If he plays well in 2013 I'm confident the Cowboys can sign him to a deal with an option he'll be happy with because he will not want to start over with another team that would probably be a bad team desperate for a QB. He wants to win a SB so any team bidding for him probably won't be a contending team. No way will he want to go to a struggling team and have to learn a new offense. I feel the Cowboys may allow Romo to play out his contract and see how he plays next season and decide from there what they feel he's worth going forward.
This is all supposition. There is no proof that he wouldn't want to. It would essentially be his last big contract. I don't believe for one minute that he wouldn't want to get paid. You also have no proof that a good team would not want him. Again, would take less then 5 minutes to do a search and see that this is completely wrong. The Cowboys are cap strapped and if they don't figure out a way to lesson Romo's cap number next year, they will be forced to cut players. This can only hurt the team in future years. We can't afford 17 Million next year, let alone a bidding war after 2013.
Seeing so many fans claim they would make the trade right now what I do know about the draft is it's a weak QB draft. If KC feels a QB is so important to their success they would trade the #1 overall pick for Romo then the Cowboys should keep him. KC would be passing up the opportunity to draft any player they want in this draft for Romo. That indicates to me that Romo is a very valuable player the Cowboys should hang onto. He's the Cowboys most valuable player who accounts for more wins than anyone on the team. The Cowboys will not be competitive without Romo or a QB comparable to him.
I disagree. KC needs a vet QB. If the Cowboys had a chance to get the over all pick and get cap relief, they would be foolish not to take it.
And BTW, you still didn't answer the question. If he plays out his option and what guarantee do we have that we can sign him in 2014 and if we don't, what's your plan for getting a franchise QB?
Your own personal confidence is not a plan, nor is it an answer. It's your opinion based on no fact whatsoever and that's the real truth of this whole thing. Say what you want about fans who want to trade Romo with no plan but you have just demonstrated that you, who would not trade him, are basing everything off opinion with no plan as to how you will keep him or replace him if need be.
