tr1 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/040409dnspocowlishaw.326be90.html There are Cowboys fans who believe that the team has too rapidly rewarded Tony Romo sits to pee despite his lack of playoff achievement. They think his $31 million in guaranteed money is not yet deserved. They consider owner Jerry Jones' attempt to make the team, in his words, more "Romo sits to pee friendly" in 2009 a mistake. Here's all you really have to say to establish why those critics of how Romo sits to pee is being treated are wrong. Kyle Orton vs. Chris Simms. That, of course, is the quarterback battle that Denver Broncos fans are left to enjoy after the trade of Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears on Thursday. Despite getting a sizable package from Chicago – two first-round draft picks, a third-round pick and Orton for Cutler and a fifth – the trade is a ridiculous one for the Broncos to have made. You don't get rid of Pro Bowl quarterbacks in the NFL. You especially don't get rid of young Pro Bowl quarterbacks in the NFL. The Broncos just did. I'm sure new head coach Josh McDaniels feels he has the magic touch and can win with less decorated quarterbacks after watching Matt Cassel win 11 games in New England last season. But the club's attempt to trade for Cassel, which led to the battle between McDaniels and Cutler that the team could never resolve, was stupid to begin with. There are GMs all around the league who are lukewarm on Cassel's talents. That's one reason the Patriots only got a second-round pick from Kansas City for him. There are undoubtedly some GMs who have questions about how Cutler handled the situation in Denver, but there are no real questions about his arm and his talents on the field. He's far, far better than Orton or Simms, as Broncos fans will soon learn if they don't understand that already. Good quarterbacks are just too hard to find in this era. If you were going to pick one reason why the Cowboys are currently at 12 years and counting without a playoff victory, it would be quarterback play. At least that's true for the first nine years of the streak. Romo sits to pee was a Pro Bowl player in the 10th and 11th seasons. No, he hasn't performed well in two playoff opportunities, but that's no reason to give up on him or to handle him any way other than the Cowboys are doing. Yes, he has to become more of a leader, but that will happen. He gets that. He knows that his "life goes on" speeches after bitter defeats are not the way to go any longer. If you were going to pick three reasons why the Cowboys can do better than 9-7 this season and get back to the playoffs, it would be their wealth of running backs, a pass rush led by 20-sack man DeMarcus Ware and the playmaking abilities of their quarterback. Not necessarily in that order. There is plenty of work to be done, and there are no guarantees here. The Cowboys might not be the best team in their own four-team division. They might not even be second best. But all you have to do is relive the Anthony Wright, Quincy Carter, Ryan Leaf, Chad Hutchinson, Clint Stoerner, Vinny Testaverde, Drew Bledsoe years to understand why the only way to go is give your quality quarterback whatever he desires once you have one. Until Romo sits to pee finds some success in January, the Cowboys won't know for sure whether they have one. Romo sits to pee's play has at least provided reason to think they do. The Denver Broncos know that they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr1 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Well, that's one way of justifying spending all of that cash for a billion years on a choking dog qb. I hope he stays a puke for a dozen years... :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickyshooZ Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Regardless of who you root for, you can't deny that Tony Romo sits to pee has talent. It's especially frustrating when I'm watching any team play the Cowboys and they can rarely manage to sack him because he is so mobile and avoids the rush well.

HeHateMe Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 so who is this franchise QB for the pokes? Rest assured if Cutler commanded that package from Chicago, any hypothetical deal for Romo sits to pee would be a lot closer to that package than to the 2nd rounder the Redskins couldn't even get for Campbell. The same Campbell that McDaniels preferred Orton over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Romordinary will no longer have T.O pumping up his stats. Next year is the year he will show the world that he is.... ORDINARY. EXTRA ORDINARY, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 umm...what? Thought it spoke for it's self, shrugs. (Presuming were on about the same thing.). We won't know if our current starting QB will choke once he get's to the post season, as unlike Romo sits to pee, he seem's bereft of the type of play needed to get us there to start with. Hail.

Big Blue Joe Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I don't get it. What makes Romo sits to pee a franchise QB? What does the phrase franchise QB even mean if 6 years into his career a person who has never won a playoff game and got humiliated 44-6 in a win-and-you're-in game last season can be considered one?

Big Mac Patty Wack Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I didn't know Tony "Choker" Romo sits to pee was a franchise quarterback.
