It's hilarious.

There isnt one. I agree that he was probably overpaid, but I'd rather have the stability. It also buys Dallas time to jump on their "future" when they find him. Yeah, he is 32, but this will only be his 7th season of actually playing QB for any kind of meaningful time.BR1986FB;1418470 wrote:I look at it this way.

I have heard alot of diff arguments and such, but THIS WILL BE ONLY HIS 7TH SEASON i think takes the cake. Could understand if it was only his second, or third season but geesh........Pick6;1418531 wrote:There isnt one. I agree that he was probably overpaid, but I'd rather have the stability.

Yeah, 7th season...tons to improve on past age 33. Give him that 55 million! :laugh::laugh::laugh:Pick6;1418531 wrote:There isnt one.

Also have to factor in his injury history and age. Deal is laughable and will fuck Dallas into Salary Cap hell for many yrs.Automatik;1418543 wrote:It's not hating when it's true.
Romo is the most unclutch player I've ever seen. Nowadays you just expect him to fuck up in crunch time.
I would be irate if I were a Dallas fan. Romo's agent deserves an award for landing this deal.
Simple logic would suggest that a player that has the most opportunities to choke, will also have a fair number of "choke jobs"Automatik;1418543 wrote:It's not hating when it's true.

You changed my mind.Pick6;1418553 wrote:Simple logic would suggest that a player that has the most opportunities to choke, will also have a fair number of "choke jobs"
Lets just ignore the fact that he has a career avg QBR of 102.1 in the fourth quarter, as well as more than a 2:1 TD-INT ratio. Romo has 19 (18 4th q comebacks) game winning drives in his career. 5 of each of those were last year alone. Who has the most 4th quarter comebacks since 07? That would be Romo.
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4696976/do-stats-lie-no-qb-better-than-tony-romo-in-fourth-quarter
I suggest checking out this article (all stats found in parts 1,2, and 3): http://thelandryhat.com/2013/03/21/tony-romo-comeback-king-part-iii/
Romo has a better comeback % than Rodgers, Flacco, Brees, and Rivers.
Only Brady and Eli (in their career) have more overtime wins than him. (Romo is 4-2 the past 2 seasons)
Romo has a better comeback % than Aikman, and is only 2% under Staubach.
There are your facts, Automatik and OC. Hope this clears up your media bull**** false perception that he is one of the worst chokes ever. To summarize, I admit Romo chokes in key situations, but he also has a pretty good winning % in key situations. He chokes because he is always in a position to choke, its bound to happen. It also doesnt help that he is on the Cowboys, who everybody either hates or loves. So when it does happen, it is blown way out of proportion. Its always his fault when they lose.
Nah, you cant change a hater's mind. Just show them the reality.thavoice;1418557 wrote:You changed my mind.
I would rather have romo over brees.
Sorry, but when you have to use the "hater" argument, you already lost.Pick6;1418559 wrote:Nah, you cant change a hater's mind. Just show them the reality.
Fair enough. We've enjoyed watching that with Dallas!Pick6;1418541 wrote:But like I said, hate on haters. Ill enjoy watching Pittsburgh continue to fall into mediocrity.
It is a bit easier to have a good QBR in the 4th when you lead the offense so poorlly in the first three qtrs that you are in a big hole and the defense is playing loose.Automatik;1418561 wrote:Key situations....like playoff games?
Good QBs shine when the pressure is on. Romo has shown NUMEROUS times that he can't be depended on in those situations. But keep hanging on to that QBR rating in the 4th. I'm sold now!! LOL

The diff tho is that the steelers QB has delivered two SB wins to the steel city and also another appearance. We pretty much knew that the run would end soon with the good seasons and having to sign our own guys to big contracts, selecting lower in the draft, having BR's big contract hinder the team as well as other big name players they drafted.Heretic;1418563 wrote:Fair enough.

No he hasn't. He's not even elite.Pick6;1418565 wrote:Translation: I was wrong.
I just showed you a ton of data that says he has shined more than the majority of the league, and more than some "elite" quarterbacks.
Have fun guys, I've proven my point.
Agreed. The few dallas fans I know said the same thing. It is diff to extend a guy who has won you alot of games, and taken you to the SB and such and proven his worth.Automatik;1418567 wrote:I just don't understand the Romo apologists. What MORE do you need to see to realize this guy can't get it done?
I know several Dallas fans, not one of them were happy with this deal. Not the fact that they extended him, but the amount of guaranteed cash.
So because he is good in ONE quarter, they should give him money? LOL nice logic pickPick6;1418553 wrote:Simple logic would suggest that a player that has the most opportunities to choke, will also have a fair number of "choke jobs"
