How about Tony Romo in Houston

Two sides to that coin. Romo was known for throwing interceptions at exactly the wrong time before he was known as "elite."

A guy like that, an aging Brett Favre for example, still likely gives our team a better chance to reach a Super Bowl. At least a conference championship game. Our franchise has never been out of the divisional round and likely never will until we bring in a proven quarterback. I would have killed to have signed Peyton Manning when he was a free agent and had interest in coming to Houston.

Either way, I'm sick of this Houston Texans franchise right now...
And I refuse to support them again until the bring in a GOOD quarterback!

TK is right on with this, Romo was the anti-clutch, still is really. It was always something with him in crunch time. Now, it doesn't really matter because he's a walking injury report.

Waiting for the posters who chimed in when i said romo wasn't a good play off qb to contribute again...
 
why are we still talking about Romo in Houston,we can get a quality Qb in first round that will be better than what we have
 
He's anti clutch, so what about the 8TD-2INT career mark in the playoffs? That's alot of mileage for those two picks. Look at his last four full years, and quickly debunk the myth that Romo is anti clutch waiting to lose a game qb.

So in his last 4 full seasons he has never been worse than 5th in game winning drives, leading the league in 2014. For 4th qtr comebacks he's ranked in the top 4 three of the last 4 years including being 1st in 2013 and 2nd in 2014. For a guy being labeled anti clutch he seems to be pretty darn clutch. Looks to be one of the more clutch QB's around.

One thing that is missing is that his 2014 year, the last full year, he had an amazing year, he led the league in comp%, yards per attempt, TD%, Qb rating, Total QBR, and game winning drives. He was 2nd in 4th qtr comebacks. Once again if you look at his play objectively all the labels and generalizations fall flat. The numbers clearly show he won alot of games in the 4th quarter and was routinely near the top of the league in GWD and 4th qtr comebacks.

@jradMIT that's all well and good, but give me his stats at the end of playoff games and/or big games. Seems he was always making a huge mistake then. And I mean recently, not 10 years ago.

Click on the hyperlink next his name above, I've given more than enough objective info in support of his play, all I'm hearing from the nay sayers is it "seems like", yet nothing to diminish the fact he has been at the top of the league in 4th qtr comebacks and game winning drives over his past 4 full seasons.

Play off History

upload_2017-2-7_1-5-0.png



2006 - SEA gets the ball with 4:28 to go on the DAL 28 down by 1. Drives the team 70 yards for the game winning FG. Loses the game on the missed hold, nothing to do with Quarterbacking.
2007 - Losses to the eventual SB champion, drives the ball down to the 22 with 31 seconds and 1 timeout, running out of time throws a desperation pick on 4 and 11 with :16 second left
2009 - PHI blows out philly
2009 - Gets steam rolled by Vikings 34-3
2014 - Gets the ball on own 41 with 8:10 left to go in game losing 17-20 goes on a 11 play 59 yard 5:39 go ahead 4th Qtr game winning TD drive.

2014 -gets the ball down by 5 with 9:10 left to go in the 4th, drives the ball to the 32 yard line on a 4th and 2, makes a great throw to Dez Bryant who stumbles to the 1 and loses the ball to the ground negating what would have been 1st and goal on the 1 with 4 minutes to go in the game. They don't get the ball back.


He failed to drive the field against the giants in one game against a fearsome pass rush and vaunted D, however he led a 4th comeback drive against the Lions, and would have against the Packers as well if Dez doesnt drop the ball, hardly his fault, and drops the ball on a go ahead FG against SEA with 1:19 left. He had a blow out loss and a blow out win to go those two. So in the final tally quarterbacked what would have been 3 game wining 4th quarter comeback drives to 1 failed comeback drive.


So the count is 3-1 comebacks vs fails. Any more falsehoods that need to be put to rest with objective facts?

Arguing what Romo 'was' is mute. What he 'can be' is nothing. As CND keeps saying and most common sense will tell you, he can't survive another season. Poorly healed collarbone and back, as well as the wear on his lower extremities ... he has a few games tops. He's done, it really does no good to argue his legacy in regards to his future potential.

But the majority of that is 10 years ago. He's an injury prone guy now and hasn't accomplished anything of late. I'm still not convinced that he's going to provide anything for us outside of a half a year of better QB play.

I am not disputing the injury risk, its the best option available.
I've said before the only concern with, and it is a huge concern don't get me wrong, is injury. Others were arguing that he was not good and/or a choke artist which is not true. My point is that even if there is only a small chance he will be healthy, you can win a super bowl with him. You can still bring in a rookie to develop and Savage will get his shot as well. Look at the choices,
A. Hope Brock gets better (lol)
B. Hope Savage can play and stay on the field
C. Hit the lottery with a rookie
D. Sign Romo and take the injury risk
E. Sign Cutler and hope he has a career year and stays healthy
F. Trade for JG
G. Trade for McCarron

A. Very unlikely even more than C or D or E or B
F,G. Very unlikely a trade would go to a competitor in conference

You can do B, C, D or B,C, E concurrently. Assuming you sign Cutler or Romo to cap friendly deals you don't give up a chance to give Savage his shot or develop a rookie. Those are basically all the options, none of them are good, but Romo or to a lesser extent Cutler can get you past the division round with this D, and signing them doesn't necessarily hinder the development of a rookie QB.

Your entire post is spot on, except for the bold. There isn't a 'small chance he will be healthy'. Romo has a very finite window and it does NOT cover an entire season. That's what I'm saying - it's not IF he can be healthy, he ISNT healthy. With protection and lucky bounces, Romo is on about 10 hours of borrowed time next year. Sneaking Manning's broken neck and noodle arm into the Superbowl is one thing (he could finish each game), hoping to hide Romo on the inactives until a big game is another.

Your not necessarily hoping for him to stay healthy through out the season, but that he is healthy for the playoffs. Similar to the Broncos SB season with Peyton where he missed several games but was ready for the stretch run in the post season. Essentially you don't need him for the 16+ games but only for 8+ games or so including the post season, which makes it not as much of a long shot.

This isn't the NBA where you rest your veterans for an away stretch. Manning had an ankle injury if I remember correctly, and probably would've pushed through if the offense had been clicking. New to Kubiak, but a veteran who had chemistry with the offense. Romo can't just sneak in a few drives here and there to stay fresh until the playoffs, that's not how the game works, especially while trying to adapt to a new system and players.

I'm not saying you go Tim Duncan on him, I'm saying that if he misses games during the year, its not the end of the world, what would only matter is him playing in enough games to get the team into the post season and be healthy enough to play then. Romo is just as much of a veteran as 18 and I don't think chemistry is going to be an issue if he goes through the preseason with this team.

I've apparently drunk too much (and slept too little) to make what I'm saying clear. There is no inbetween. If Romo plays he WILL be hurt, badly. If he doesn't play he'll be worthless because he has no familiarity with the team or coaches. There's no grey area, no resting him or protecting him. Injury or going in cold, those are the options ... I'd rather play Osweiler, or TexanBill than give Romo a second thought.
 
1. Tony Romo stays in state and signs with the Houston Texans
The Cowboys are likely going to have to release Romo because no team will trade for his contract. Once he's free to sign anywhere, Romo will look for a contender that needs a quarterback, and there aren't many of those. He also should go to a place where they have another option in case he gets hurt. And no, Brock Osweiler isn't a great option (or else why would Houston be messing around with Romo?). But another year of development maybe helps, and adding a veteran like Romo to the mix could make the Texans a title contender if they can somehow get a dozen games out of him and he's healthy in January.

I could live with that arrangement but I sure don't want to trade anybody valuable to us or any draft picks higher than late rounders.
 
How much would they pay Romo? It seems to me that we would have to cut players in order to have room to sign anyone else of consequence.

Click to expand...

They've got roughly 26 M in space, another 11M can be had by cutting Newton, Bergstrom, Weeden, and Clark. That gets them to 37M as a baseline. They could probably sign Romo on a incentive laden deal with 15M or so guaranteed over 3-4 years making his first year cap hit 4-5M. Leaving about 32M to operate with to sign AJ, a tackle, and resign some of the other FA's (Demps, Simon, Novak) etc, and the draft picks. Thats seems more than enough to get that done and still have a decent amount of carry over. Now other possible cap casualties and or restructure possibilities are with Cushing and Joseph. There's about 12M between the two. When it comes to those two, I think its more of a question of are they worth their salary more than do you need the room, I think if you resign Abouye, Joseph is gonna have to take a paycut or be gone, even if you move KJ to safety. There are lots of FA and draftable CB's so his salary might be best served as being reduced for carry over to next year.
 
I'm all on board with this once someone explains to me how watching Osweiler play while Romo stands on the sidelines in a cast makes the team better.

Tony Romo has made it onto the field for some or all of 5 games in the last two years. This looks like an expensive recipe for watching Os play another year while we all ***** about our QB mess.

You don't expect him to play that long, but the contract length allows the prorated signing bonus and cap hit in the 1st year to be small.

We've already got one QB contract that we are trying to shed, you really want to add another?

At some point the number becomes palatable, if not 15M guaranteed, then 12M, 10M, 8M? The numbers makes sense to take a flyer at some point.
 
There might be a way to make this work.

Even the league MVP Matt Ryan is 3-5 in the playoffs.
Exactly why I would never want a guy like Matthew Stafford.
Dude is a bum come playoff time. Regular season warrior though.

Heck, Brock Osweiler, T.J. Yates and Matt Schaub are all 1-1 in the playoffs.
Those three guys all have a .500 winning percentage in the playoffs. LOL

I just want a guy that I feel can realistically get us to a Super Bowl.
Nobody we had before made me feel that way.

Even Schaub's best years here I didn't feel he could win the big games...
I would never feel he could beat Tom Brady and the Pats come playoff time.

I want to see the Houston Texans win some Super Bowls!
The Lombardi Trophy belongs in Houston. I'm tired of waiting!!!!
The Patriots have now won five Super Bowls. That's BS! I want one.

I've always loved watching Tony Romo plays. He plays the game like it's supposed to be played.

I've always enjoyed that he was not on my team. He's good enough & that's why his teams have never been great, only good enough.

He's good enough to keep you from looking for a franchise QB. & we need to keep looking.

Dude is a gamer. Won't quit on you. Has the arm talent to make all throws. Smart guy who might be a good fit for the offense O'Brien runs. Get this guy and go OL with picks 1-3.
 
I am laughing at all these arm chair doctors that are saying romo can't play anymore and will get hit as soon as someone touches him forgetting PFM had 4 neck surgeries fused his spine at his neck and was left for dead after the colts released him then have the gall to say romo will get hurt so easy when Romo has never had any serious injury that is career threating as "PER STATED BY REAL DOCTORS" who did his back and shoulder surgery. and not Talking heads on espn who told you the same B.S when Manning was released but still wanted to play.

https://www.ticketcity.com/news-articles/the-best-4th-quarter-quarterbacks-in-the-nfl.html And as far as Romo being not clutch or good in money Time that link is there to hush you people up that don't like facts
 
Couple of issues here:

1. "All metrics are weighted evenly."

Doesn't say much more about the scoring system then that. What metrics? I imagine a scoring system weighing different stats as more valuable like wins, fumbles lost, completion percentage, 3rd down efficiency, etc, could easily land any of the top 5 qbs in the #1 spot. Dont tell me he got a 100. Tell me how he got there. What metric did they use for botched kicks?

2. Sampling.

I think you overlooked a major problem. Most of us (me at least) arent talking about the regular season. Statistically he's a very good regular seson qb pre injury. His performances in the playoffs were in question. This does nothing to dispell that.

3. Who the ph*ck is ticket city and what year was this composed? Is this a site i should know? (Honest question)

4. His injury status damn well better be a concern. I dont have an issue signing the guy at a reasonable price but im not giving him star $. He comes here to stay in state and for a chance to win. If he wants a pay day he can go elsewhere.

5. Nobody. NOBODY suggested he was worse then oz. People sifting through this thread seem to think when a poster points out romo's faults it means we want oz. That's not the case at all. I just have reservations about romo and want a bargain if we go that route

There is more to it.

While there is plenty of data to show that Romo has excelled in the 4th quarter, there's also data to show that he's been at the top of blowing games in the 4th quarter. Here's an article that shows both:

And he's not only making these mistakes as the Cowboys attempt to rally from late deficits. Eight of Romo's fourth-quarter interceptions have come with the Cowboys tied or leading by one score - that's the most in the NFL in that span. Those give opposing teams life when Dallas should have been icing the win.

Sunday's interception was particularly painful, dropping the chances for a Cowboys win by 26 percentage points. That was the second worst interception of Week 5 in terms of a single play costing a team’s chances at victory behind Blaine Gabbert’s pick-six for Jacksonville, but that play came in the first half so Gabbert’s team still had an opportunity to overcome that drop.

This was written before his run of injuries.

The point is that he's not only old, and unaccomplished in the grand scheme, but he's injury prone. He's not played much recently and for good reason.

Have some concerns for his injury history i do as well i am just tired of hearing he only going to play X games or he will get hurt in training camp ETC. anything can happen to any player at any time its the risk they take. and Romo is not looking for a pay day i have stated many times if he wants to play on a FAIR deal for houston that would not insult him and also not kill the teams cap houstn would be silly to tell him no.

Ticket city used some data and number crunching from player careers not a site you need to know

http://www.nfl.com/player/tonyromo/2505354/situationalstats?season=2016 this is more of what you are looking for when it come to how good your Q.B is for many time plays this help answer some question on what Romo has done when pressure mounts

There is more to it.

While there is plenty of data to show that Romo has excelled in the 4th quarter, there's also data to show that he's been at the top of blowing games in the 4th quarter. Here's an article that shows both:

This was written before his run of injuries.

The point is that he's not only old, and unaccomplished in the grand scheme, but he's injury prone. He's not played much recently and for good reason.

this game He throw for 500 yards and 5 t.ds that int that came he got his foot steped on by Tyron smith video is on youtube. i can not get mad at him when his def did not force a punt all game and gave up 50+ points

that you left out

While it seems like Tony Romo is often throwing away games in the fourth quarter, he actually has fewer fourth-quarter interceptions (23) in the last eight seasons than such “clutch” quarterbacks as Drew Brees (35), Ben Roethlisberger (30) and Brett Favre (25). Dr. Romo does more than enough for the Cowboys to offset the appearances of the Romo-coaster.

This was 2013 he finished that year with 31 t.ds 10 ints

I specifically said the article shows both that he's accomplished and a liability in the fourth quarter.

If he has less fourth quarter interceptions than those guys, by quite a margin, but the most when leading or tied, what does that tell you? It should tell you that he's blown games at a significantly higher rate than anyone else. I can understand forcing throws in the effort to comeback, but that's not the issue.

i look it up that most when leading or tied is a result of his 2012 season when he throw 22 t.ds to 14 ints when he was behind and his 2007 season

All in all he is a great Q.B who has injury concerns but should be brought if he wants to play for this team
 
I'd much rather trade for a relative unknown like Glennon than take a shot on an old, injury prone, choke artist like Mr D

Lol at Romo being a savior

Look, I agree that Romo is a better QB than what we've had, IF HEALTHY. I wouldn't mind seeing him here as a one year stop gap QB IF we truly had a developmental project behind him that would be THE guy for the next 5-10 years, IF I thought he could play at least 14 games. But none of those IF's are likely.

Honestly, I'd rather have Fitz back and be yelling at the Tv "throw the dam ball!!!" than yelling because our starter was INJURED yet again
