By 2016 Romo will have won zero Super Bowls whereas Gryphon will have won two. So apples to oranges.

rich_tandlercsn:

And haven't signed draft picks yet. RT @Jimmy_Beast: Cowboys have $148,561,185 on their 2014 cap, by far the largest amt in the NFL.


holy cow for comparison I think we have around 103k and I believe a younger roster.

[12thMan]

Jason Witten, DeMarcus Ware, and Miles Austin have all restructured and all are relatively young. Not rookie young, but not old either. Oh, and Dez Bryant's rookie deal is up in two years.

If Romo is still on the roster collecting that coin in 3 years, one of those above will probably be gone.

His awful post-season showing will probably be why he'll always be considered medium. Good, but never great.

He's only played in like 3 games and do you know who has the most 4th quarter comeback wins since 2009? Tony Romo . Also he leads the NFL in 4th Qtr QB rating, so how is he a choke artist? Is peyton Manning a choker because he has a losing playoff record? Romo is a baller, dude gets like 30 tds and 12 ints a season, I hate Dallas but I am also a realist. Plus who were they going to replace him with? Same with flacco in Baltimore.


Career 65% passer and 96 QBR. Thats pretty damn good

Witten and Ware are both 32. that's not relatively young in nfl terms. in fact both are getting long in the tooth. Austin is 29 so he is still in his prime. Tony also is 33, qbs do last longer, but in year 4 he will be 37, and they will still have several million in deadcap probably if they cut him.

No, sir. Both Witten and Ware were born in 1982. They turn 31 years old in May and July, respectively. I think we're making the same point though.

You are right.

Just an absurd deal. One playoff win gets you that kind of money?

Insane.

What were the options? To me Romo is good enough to keep his job, there's no one on the street or in the draft that's better, but he's not good enough when Dallas needs him in the most important games. Jerry Jones was in a tough spot.

I don't have a problem with them re-signing him but the money is ridiculous.

Yeah this is how I see it.

[DynamiteRave]

I said he's a choke artist in the playoffs. What good is he if he gets you to the post season and then totally fails?

Dude is the Lebron of the NFL. He's not going anywhere with Dallas. At least not this year.
