How about Tony Romo in Houston

The same article also said that he had the 3rd highest QBR in the 4th quarter behind Rodgers and Manning. And this just in, points equally matter at all points in the game. The total numbers are the only thing that matters, which is why the QBR metric is flawed. Weighting by quarter or point in the game makes no sense because a TD or pick matters equally the same whether it happens in the 1st quarter or 4th quarter.

Lol at Romo being a savior
Yes this coming from the standpoint of rolling with Mike Glennon a guy with career numbers of 5-13 record, 6.5 Y/a and a 83.7 Passer rating as a starter who will cost more guaranteed money than Romo, a guy who actually has played on an elite level. LOL

How many games did he play in 2016? 2015? 2013? How old is he?

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
its not about him being a savior teams in the nfl have a window to do great things then that window closes if opportunity comes to improve that window you trying and do it. risk is involved some teams take it some don't, nothing is a lock in the NFL not health not wins, Divsion champs now next year who knows Titans and Indy wont just lay down, things change

The Texans tried to do that with Osweiler. That was a better bet than Romo.

Either Tony will stay healthy and the injury stuff has just been bad luck the past 2 years or he wont some team is going to be happy or not either way
 

Uncle Rico

Ur apology should be as loud as Ur disrespect was
Not sure that the amount of games Romo has played over the last 3 seasons goes as a negative against him. I think it's a good thing. Every player in the league risks injury. Every one. Romo puts it on the line with his game style. Having a 250 lb LB running full speed and landing on a back would probably incapacitate most human being. Punctured lungs happen right? How many of you could finish a football game with one? O'Brien system doesn't require an athletic outside the box QB. It requires a SMART one. I think we could keep him upright and healthy for 3 years.

His age? Who cares? This team is ready to win now. Similar to the Cardinals with their carousel prior to getting the old fart Carson Palmer. It's weird how some of the fanbase is stuck on the future. The window is closing, this team needs a proven commodity at the position. Something or has never tried. Always wishing. Always hoping.

The choices are limited for Tony Romo if he wants to start for a Super Bowl contender. It's either the Texans or Broncos. And to a lesser degree the Chiefs and Cardinals, although I don't see those teams giving up on the likes of Alex Smith and Carson Palmer (he ain't going to retire after all).

With J.J. Watt coming back healthy the Houston Texans should be one of the favorites in the AFC entering 2017 anchored by a dominating defense, provided we can upgrade the quarterback position. But sigh, how many times do we enter a new off-season saying the same things about needing to upgrade the most important position on the field?

I'm just tired of talking about it. Let's go upgrade the quarterback position shall we?

Maybe it's a pipe dream on my part but if we included a draft pick with Os, I don't see why the Cowboys wouldn't entertain it. It's basically trading a $19 million backup Qb for a $16 million one for them. I believe I read they would have around $24 million in dead money if they cut Romo. The Cowboys would save $8 million, have an extra draft pick and they can cut Os after next year for nothing. I could just be pipe dreaming of a way to get rid of Os, though.
If Romo comes here, it will be as a FA, not a trade. == No one is going to trade for OS. If they want him they will have to wait until he is cut after the 2017 season.

Actually, that guy has a point. Why would the Cowboys entertain a Tony Romo for Brock Osweiler trade? Because they would be able to cut him after next season to a mere $6 million dead money cap hit which is very cap friendly. As oppose to $24 million in dead money if they release Tony Romo this off-season.

I could see Jerry Jones being ballsy enough to do it. It frees up a lot of cap space for the Cowboys sooner rather than later. They can keep building their young and talented team. But he would only entertain a Romo for Osweiler swap if the Texans throw in a couple of good draft picks. There has to be more incentive than just clearing a lot of cap space.

And Jerry Jones will entertain all trade offers... That's the thing. He will try to get value for Tony Romo. Releasing him is the last thing he wants to do. He may decide to just keep him as backup for all we know. But it sounds like Romo and his agent have already told Jerry to trade him or release him. We don't know what's been going on behind the scenes.

Not necessarily ....

An early score (or two) can change the approach of both teams.

Make a mistake , throw a pick early and you have a lot of clock left to make up for it , make that same mistake late .... stick a fork in it , that turkeys done.

I was thinking...

if you were dallas, why would you trade romo to the texans?

let's assume it comes down to either denver or houston, and that both teams offers are comparable, why would you send tony off to houston which is much closer, potentially gifting some Romo fans to another franchise, when you can banish him to colorado where less people are likely to follow?

not sure how likely this scenario is, but still...

So it begins

Hypothetically it wouldn't make any sense to trade Romo to a team that made the Playoffs last year, especially
when? they aren't going to give you the kind of value you'd want for Romo, which is? A first rd draft pick. so it
makes more sense trading him to the lowest bidder like a Cleveland or L.A. who might be willing to part ways
with a high pick

let's assume it comes down to either denver or houston, and that both teams offers are comparable, why would you send tony off to houston which is much closer, potentially gifting some Romo fans to another franchise, when you can banish him to colorado where less people are likely to follow?
Let's not assume anything, I believe it's crystal clear that should Romo go to Houston
the influx of former Cowboys fans falling off the wagon, to become die hard Texans fans
is to much for you to handle. Sadly that is your problem, Since they're free to do what
ever it is they like

not sure how likely this scenario is, but still...
Not likely so stop worrying

Today this article from Sports Radio 610 John hammond about a Texans tickets hike in price that relate it to a new QB. Likely a free agent QB or trade up in the draft.
It's an opionion or theory maybe more sports talk speculation it should be an interesting 3 months coming up.

http://torotimes.com/2017/02/08/tony-romo-or-jimmy-garoppolo-coming-to-texans-due-to-ticket-hike/
The increase in ticket prices is related more to paying for the overall increases to the salary cap in recent years. Over the last 2 years the salary cap has jumped (increased) over $20 million. Somebody is going to pay for that and it's not going to be the NFL or it's teams.

If the Texas were to sign Romo they would have over $40 million committed to QB in 2017. Just don't see that happening.

I think you're confusing the chicken and the egg. The salary cap increases come from overall NFL revenue increase, as it was set up by the CBA. The ticket price increases are just that, price hikes that the team thinks it can get away with.

You get 60 minutes of football period. The order in which happens matters not in the end. If you mess up late, you had the entire game before to make up for it or vice versa. All that matters are the points on the board at the end of the game, the order of which matters not.

If this was the case you would see teams call hail marys, go for 2, onside kick, etc.. at all stages of the game. Not only when the time is running out.

Think how kubiak used to sit on a lead running the clock and not even trying to score. If the team was trailing he never did that.

Conditioning of players also changes during the game, some just run out of fuel after a certain number of snaps, which changes how you need to play.

If you ever run a marathon you would be surprised how much your time can improve between doing it alone or with someone that has a slight faster pace than you. This is because the mental component has a huge effect on performance.

There are also studies that show how in sports, athletes wearing red tend to be more agressive just because of the color. Conversely athletes wearing blue tend to be more tactical.

Point taken, but your conflating in game strategy with player contribution assessment. in terms of quantifying a players value, the overall numbers are an order of magnitude more important than the distribution of said events. A QB with a 100 rating and the worst possible timing will still beat out a Qb with a 90 and the best possible timing.

It would be hard to even define what the best timing would be. As stated earlier it would better to throw a pick early, to have time to make up for it. However the flip side of this is the other adjustments by the other team makes on both sides, when your down, the other teams play conservative limiting the probability of making big plays by the opposing side on offense or defense, hence negating any advantage a team gains by knowing it's down.

That leaves the Chiefs as the best team with reported interest in trading for Romo. If other QB-needy clubs such as the Bills, Browns, Bears, Texans, Jets and 49ers wanted to trade for Romo, they would not fit his "contender" criteria.

I dont get where the Texans are not contenders and this supposed "criteria" comes from

I agree, but honestly I don't see how we could get Romo. We have to much money to pay Oz whether we keep him or not, and I don't think that would leave enough for what Romo will want or can get from other teams where he has a chance to contend still. Honestly the only situation where I think we'd be able to get a quality guy from another team is Jimmy G, because of his salary being on the rookie scale until next year, but he won't really be an option for us any way. I think the Texans will likely just draft a guy in the 2nd round or 3rd round. They might even draft a Qb in both.

The Texans went to Foxborough in the divisional round and gave Tom Brady and the Patriots all they could handle for three quarters. It was a 24-16, one score game early in the fourth quarter. Should have been 17-16 at that point but our special teams let us down on a long kick return for a TD that the Pats had in the first half. Things fell apart in the fourth quarter (the Pats added 10 more points to reach 34), obviously, but we hung around for a lot longer than most people thought.

We didn't have our best player in J.J. Watt, who will be ready to go in 2017, and that was with Brock Osweiler running the show at quarterback. How are the Houston Texans not contenders? I believe we're easily right there with the Patriots, Steelers, Chiefs (any team in the AFC) with superstar J.J. Watt (3x defensive player of the year) back and dominating like his old self, and a better quarterback like Tony Romo.

We're very much contenders, IMO.

Heck, we nearly shocked the world this past year with the team we had. We just couldn't finish the deal in that fourth quarter at Foxborough. It didn't help that Will Fuller drops a beautifully thrown "Touchdown pass" by Osweiler. If he holds on it's a TD and that game is very much ours to take going into the fourth quarter. There were plenty of moments we could have changed the momentum and taken control of that game but our offense didn't make the big plays they needed to.

Anybody who says the Texans aren't a contender don't know football. We need better quarterback play, sure. But we have J.J. Watt coming back and we have all off-season to improve our quarterback situation. We also need Will Fuller to improve his damn hands!

But we're as good as most teams in the AFC, IMO.
We're very much a contender. It makes me mad if anybody says differently.

Tony Romo's best chance to win a Super Bowl as a starting quarterback would be with the Houston Texans. If he or his agent don't realize that then please just retire because you ain't going to win a ring starting with any other team.

Maybe the Broncos but even that's a long shot. The Chiefs and Raiders are really good. That's a tough division. Their overall defensive talent isn't what it was last year when they won the Super Bowl with an aging Peyton Manning. They lost too many free agents. And their run game is weak and they have O-Line issues. Much worse than ours.

We also get Kevin Johnson and Nick Martin back and will no doubt improve our oline and I fully expect last seasons rookies to take a step forward.
Even if our qb situation improves only marginally we will still definitely be a playoff team even if our division gets tougher.

I agree. We may make a Super Bowl run next year if we simply get some key players back healthy, especially J.J. Watt, and we can improve a couple other spots in the draft. And that's with Brock Osweiler starting at quarterback. Imagine if we do bring in a proven quarterback this off-season? Our Super Bowl odds would increase even more. Either way we're already a playoff team.

I know everyone is down on Brock as am but he too will be better for having a season under his belt in this system.
His inaccuracy issues will be better if he can learn to throw the ball in the window where he is not under pressure - it is a fine line between waiting and looking for receivers and holding on to the ball too long and Bill is a smart man and will figure out plays to fit Brock in case he is the starter.
We only need him to be 15-20% better to have a working offense and that is very possible.

I firmly am not on the "get Romo" train. I just found that comment interesting and wonder if it is from Romo's camp or the writer of the article. Either way it is a dumb take.

The one thing about Jimmy that most seem to overlook: if he is good and has potential why in the hell would Belichik give him to Houston? He just watched them get under Brady's skin in the playoffs and with an even competent QB they possibly win that game in Foxborough.

Like it or not, agree with it or not the Texans are the biggest threat right now in the AFC to the Pats if they can get just "good" QB play

Good post DX-Tex. Your thinking is right there along with mine, and that's why I've said that its not point to really debate Jimmy here in Houston anymore, because like you I don't think that Bill would trade Jimmy here. Your logic here is sound, and I wouldn't do that either if I were him, because if Jimmy busts out then Houston could become a real threat to NE this year or next. Hell, I'd take less and trade Jimmy somewhere else if I were BB. I think the Pats will have plenty of options. Their best bet will be do get strong value from Cleveland, Chicago, or Frisco. It would become counter productive to trade him to Houston, Denver, or a place like Minnesota who just needs a strong QB to be SB bound.

I will preface my response by saying that as a Texans fan I hope you are correct.

I just think that you cannot teach or learn accuracy. You either have it or you don't, and Assweiler is not an accurate QB. I have watched him enough to make my mind up regarding that very issue.

Again, I hope I am wrong but I rarely am :)

I would like to know what his accuracy percentages are when under pressure and with a clean pocket because we saw him throw some accurate passes as well as the inaccurate ones which is why I say he can be better with a better line, clean up some of his mechanics and have OB work in more plays he does well.
After all, he definitely regressed from his games in Denver.

For me it's not so much the accuracy as is it the decision making. He stares down receivers, doesn't read the defense or see the field. He throws to open guys not throw open guys. He often misses wide open guys because he never makes it to his 2nd and 3rd read or he locks onto one guy before the snap. Also he goes bad with a little pressure. Accuracy is like 3rd or fourth on the list.

I agree Nuk had to my quick knowledge 4 critical drops on easy open completions both Jacksonville games, against Cincinnati and GB. But I look at plays like the int in Indy and the one in Mexico City right before the half, and see him missing a wide open guy to throw into double coverage. I did this exercise before with the passer rating calculator, how many 50 yard Tds would Brock have to throw to get his passer rating above 80, The answer is 8! An 80 is still not good enough to win. It kinda puts in perspective how bad he is.

I was mad at Jacoby because trying to return that punt would have been a bad decision at any point of the game sans the last play, regardless of QB situation etc. Returning a ball inside the 5 is just stupid unless you are Dante Hall, and Jacoby aint no Dante Hall.

I agree with you..... it is very stupid play......... However if it was the final play and the seconds ran off the clock........ it becomes a different story. I would have wanted him to try something rather than sitting back and letting the game end. (Why I said, I appreciated his heart.... but wish he had used his brain instead)

Would you rather he just lets a Raven player end the game as he stands aside? Or would you rather him try and MAKE something happen with that final chance?

Timing matters EVEN if the game has a set time limit. In this case he tried to do something when it was not needed which makes it a stupid play, not a play of necessity.
