| Pretty much, he's not bad he just can't win in December. I'm curious what cowgirls fans are thinking, figured sandtrap would have trolled through by now. I hope Jerruh lives forever he is such a great gm!

| Re: Cowboys Sign Romo to $108M Deal: Skins Fans Rejoice! Well, all I know is that I almost got into a fight this morning at the Circle K here in El Paso (just outside ft bliss). I was buying my coffee, and I saw a news roller that is supposed to be for the lotteries roll the news that the cowboys just paid 108 mil for Tony Romo, and 55 mil was guaranteed. I started laughing my ass off, almost to the point of crying. There were 3 guys behind me that asked me what was wrong, so I told them how happy I was that the cowboys are a bunch of ****ing retards signing Romo for that much. Needless to say, words were exchanged, lol. I only wish I was wearing my RG3 jersey at the time. LOL |

I was'nt being a smartass, IMHO....Romo has had every opportunity to win ,he has had good players around him and still when it matters most he comes up short, he's had running backs ,receivers, TE's and a good D to go along with his regular season stats, he has even had some very good coach's ...Parcells, Wade Phillips I'll stop there but he has not proven to be worth what they just did, not even close.

Sure, Romo is a good QB, and better than what we had. Is he worth the money being paid? No. Is he a choke artist? In my opinion, until he stops collapsing in big games and having "fluke plays" in those games ... Yup. I, for one, am glad they are saddled with him for the next 2-3 years. Just means they will get Cowboys fans will get their hearts broken year after year after year ...

The real issue is that they didn't sign him before Flacco set the market. They cold have wrapped this up before or at the end of the season. Flacco's deal would have been a non-issue. | |

| Re: Cowboys Sign Romo to $108M Deal: Skins Fans Rejoice! It's alot like the Flacco contract. IMO unless the guy is in that top 5 echelon of QBs. The team is sacrificing quite a few good players around them for their contracts. Your giving these guys 15% of your cap on average, for the life of these deals.

| Re: Cowboys Sign Romo to $108M Deal: Skins Fans Rejoice! In all fairness though, it IS possible that Romo and the Boys could put together one good season and roll to the Super Bowl. It's not like they don't have any weapons. They are a playoff caliber team and anything's possible. |

55 mil guaranteed to someone that will be 33 before the season starts is crazy. Especially when he has had solid teams around him in the past and couldnt come through. Im sick of listening to the whole argument that Dallas has never had a good player except Tony Romo since he has been there. Thats just outright nonsense. The Cowboys in his early years had better talent around Romo than RG3 had this past year. Given the injuries to key players this past year (Garcon, Davis, ect), that makes it even worse. QB's arent overpaid in this league. They are the most important piece. But unless they have won you SB's or even gotten to some conference championships, you dont give a 33 year old that amount of guaranteed money. The Cowboys are already in salary cap purgatory, now they are in even deeper with a QB that will be in decline. At 33, I doubt he is going to get better. The Cowboys need a major overhaul, so anytime they keep an aging vet and sign him to an uncuttable for 3 or 4 years contract, they are making matters worse, not better (Better if looking at it from a Redskins standpoint). Since the whole Tony Romo has never had a good team around him argument is always used. What changes this year then? What exactly are you seeing in Dallas that makes you think Romo will now get over the hump? Since that argument dictates that they wont win anything, why not move on and try to get your cap in order while drafting some young pieces who will EVENTUALLY win? If you want to defend the move because you hate Dallas and think its funny, then be my guest (I do). But you seem to be saying that its a "good move" for that franchise... I couldnt disagree more. They are better off losing 12 games instead of 8 for a couple of years and building with higher draft picks. Plain and simple, Romo's contract is a Vinny move. And Vinny moves have been proven to not work in the first year, and cost the team dearly in dead cap in later years. Im glad its now the Cowboys doing those contracts and not us anymore. | |

So, if they struggle this year, Garrett will get canned, and the new coach will have Romo, and a hellacious salary cap to deal with. That puts alot of win now pressure on Garrett and Romo. I am hoping that I will be loving it. for those who are curious, we have 30 contracts for 2015, totaling 99Mil (contract stats from where else? overthecap.com)

And I never said he's played on bad teams, his numbers are great if u actually looked at his stats. He puts up top 10 numbers every season.
