Gotta ask what do you guys think? There are strong rumors we are interested. I would love it if we got AJ MCCaron from Bengals.

What do you guys think

This just in, Romo at one point was an above average NFL QB, he is no longer that. He was NEVER a top tier QB, regardless of what Hootie states.

Hootie · 02-19-2017, 04:32 PM

Romo was absolutely an elite NFL QB from 07-14

'14 was his best year ... easily a top 3 QB that year

...lets just ignore the fact he was the QB on Jerry Jones' team where Jerry Jones is GM

Real easy to succeed over there, no doubt.

This just in. Chiefs struggling to find legit NFL QB talent for decades. Entering another season.... Hopeless....

Drew Brees, widely considered the best QB in the NFL outside Brady/Manning/Rodgers the past decade ...

made the playoffs 5 out of 11 years in New Orleans

The Chiefs have made the playoffs 5 times in those 11 years as well.

Wanna know how many times Peyton or Tom (or Aaron for that matter) missed the playoffs the past 11 years?

Getting off topic. I think Brees and Romo are both elite NFL QB's. They are both great examples of QB's not being 100% responsible for your team winning football games.

Alex Smith has made the playoffs 3 times in 4 years. Drew Brees 1 time.

Ah the decades old motto of the 90s true fan rally cry....

Hootie · 02-19-2017, 04:43 PM

Meh. As long as Romo doesn't land in Denver, I ultimately will get over it. We can clearly win with the current roster and the current QB ... as we hung in there with Pittsburgh and probably win that game 5 times out of 10 ...

so I'll just be bored watching Alex Smith run the most neutered offense I've seen in my life - and then gear up to lose to Tom or Ben or whoever in the playoffs in '17.

Hoping Reid and Dorsey continue to impress me and land Romo. Truly think we have a fighter's chance.

Is Romo over 16 games better than Alex? Yes, but there is about a 10% chance he plays the entire season. Alex for 16 games > than Romo for 8 games.

Draft a QB and let him sit behind Alex this season. Alex knows Reid's offense and would be a good mentor for a rookie QB.

It's worth the risk

I disagree that it is worth the investment.

How awful were the Packers this year? Injuries and deficiencies made them a 6-10 team but Rodgers carried them to the NFCCG.
He also carried a team with like 20 players on IR to a SB title. Romo has never even carried his team to a championship game.

Rodgers is on a whole other level

I like how people pretend GB is trash beyond Rodgers. Or that they were more injured than any other team.

It's like Rodgers doesn't have a top 5 receiving group and a decent running game to help him.

More times than not in his career, Aaron Rodgers had GREAT team around him.

I still think Romo gets released when it's all said and done. I think it is better for Dallas' cap and I think they'll do it as a professional courtesy.

But, either way ... you can't tell me trading a 2017 3rd and a 2018 conditional pick that we'll recover in Poe compensation is some investment we won't recover from if we do have to trade.

I am not an Alex Smith hater. He means nothing to me. I have no ill will or stance on Alex Smith. However, NFL QB is pretty important ... and there is zero doubt Tony Romo >>> Alex Smith. And it's not like we're getting rid of 26 year old Alex Smith who has potential. Dude is who he is and he's older and we have to replace him anyways.

Upgrade with Romo, draft a prospect, hope said prospect is good, and let him learn under Romo for 2 years ... and if Romo is as big of a Croyle as you all say, I guess you'll get to see your rookie sooner rather than later.

Hootie · 02-19-2017, 05:10 PM

I never put much stock into a QB's 'weapons' ... Nelson/Cobb/Jennings and blah/blah/blah no doubt have talent ... but at the end of the day, the Rodgers' / Brady's and Manning's of the world are going to make any receiver look like they are a 'great weapon'.

Don't make me go on my Harrison/Kennison tangent all over again. I will!

Of course. At the same time Rodgers WRs are individually good. It's not like he's Tom. Brady and he's playing with Chris Hogan and Danny amendola.

Uh really...... You mean when they have had so many injuries that they have had to pick WRs and RBs off the street or like this season convert a WR to the RB position.....Or that OL that is down to the 3rd and 4th OT and having to bring OL up from the practice squad.

Stupid post is stupid.
