I also think he restructures and stays in Dallas. He loves it here, knows his time as a starter in the NFL is probably done. He's always said that he doesn't want to do what Emmett Smith did.thunderspirit wrote:You forgot: stay in Dallas since it actually costs them more this year to cut him than to keep him.Adipost wrote:Romo doesn't have many options.CRM 114 wrote:Why would Romo want to come here?

Believe away. As you said he is a really good golfer (scratch golfer). He is also a good BBall player.

i 100% concede that 100% of the time the whole "maybe ultra competitive qb will be ok taking a backseat" thing never happens. Not when there's a QB starved team out there who'd go 5-11 instead of 2-14 with him at the helm.mmmc_35 wrote:Believe away. As you said he is a really good golfer (scratch golfer).

Not happening. The Romo part anyway, though I'm sure the Bears will do something to piss fans off as per usual.Adipost wrote:Get ready to be pissed off.ysleblanc wrote:Bears getting Romo would piss me off, even more so if they have up a pick for him.

What's the point of that? What would the Bears gain from sitting a rookie QB for a season accomplish?

Unless you think John Fox has absolutely no influence in the Bears organization, they are not starting a rookie next year.gpphat wrote:What's the point of that?

If they draft a QB with their first round pick, there is no way Fox doesn't start the rookie and keep his jobAdipost wrote:Unless you think John Fox has absolutely no influence in the Bears organization, they are not starting a rookie next year.gpphat wrote:What's the point of that?

That's the thing, how many more wins does Romo give Fox over a rookie? Do you think Romo can propel the Bears to a winning record? If Fox goes from 3-13 to 7-9 with Romo I think he gets the axe, especially if the Bears draft a rookie in the first round and he doesn't play him. If Fox goes from 3-13 to 7-9 with a rookie behind the center, that will save his job.Adipost wrote:Not gonna start a rookie if he doesn't have to with his job on the line.wab wrote:Fox doesn't like rookie quarterbacks, but that doesn't mean he won't play one.

If he starts a highly drafted rookie, his job isn't on the line. If he starts...say...Romo over a highly drafted rookie, his job is. And the latter is going to get him fired faster.Adipost wrote:Not gonna start a rookie if he doesn't have to with his job on the line.wab wrote:Fox doesn't like rookie quarterbacks, but that doesn't mean he won't play one.

What you are not factoring in is that many of the QB's in this draft class still have a lot of work to do before they can start in the NFL.gpphat wrote:That's the thing, how many more wins does Romo give Fox over a rookie?

Romo provides nothing for the Bears outside of a high price tag for at least 1 year. Romo is better suited to go to a team that actually has a legitimate chance at a deep playoff run (see Houston or Denver).
If he loses in any scenario, he's fired.wab wrote:If he starts a highly drafted rookie, his job isn't on the line. If he starts...say...Romo over a highly drafted rookie, his job is.

Yes many QB's do need work before starting in the NFL...but not the QB's that will be available to the Bears at #3Adipost wrote:What you are not factoring in is that many of the QB's in this draft class still have a lot of work to do before they can start in the NFL.gpphat wrote:That's the thing, how many more wins does Romo give Fox over a rookie?

And that may be the reason he doesn't start another one??wab wrote:Fox doesn't like rookie quarterbacks, but that doesn't mean he won't play one. See: Clausen, Jimmy.
I disagree, the bears could absolutely gain a winning QB, mentor to rookie and possibly the missing piece to the Bears offensive scoring woes. He's everything a GM could ask for in a QB. Might also be perfect timing. I also disagree with the whole 12 games left comment. You can't possible know that as fact. An actually former NFL doctor says his injury is not career ending.wab wrote:The Bears gain absolutely nothing by signing Romo. Plus, Romo wants a ring, and he's got maybe 12 games left in him. He's not going to get a ring with the Bears.
