question. tony romo....if dallas did not want to sign him to big contract,

Romo is a fake. He's no good. He got hyped up because he was a new young QB in Dallas, a city that has had some good signal callers. Ever since Troy they haven't been able to find the right guy: Quincy Carter, Vinny, Drew Bledsoe, Drew Henson, Jason Garrett. They just wanted somebody, anybody really to take their spoiled a**es back to the Super Bowl; and they saw a young, good looking guy who had some swagger and they thought "Hey this guy is it." But he's not. He's a gambler type quarterback who doesn't have a strong enough arm to make the kind of throws that he wants to throw, which is probably why he tanked down the stretch (and probably the reason he went to EIU).

Also, I don't think we should get him for another reason: he seems like the kind of guy who is set on starting. In Dallas, he always seemed to be lurking right there behind Drew Bledsoe, which didn't make sense to me because Bledsoe is a better QB. In all honesty, I think he shook Bledsoe's confidence because Bledsoe could probably tell that management was looking "to get younger", and Bledsoe started to press. Why bring that pressure to New Orleans, and put it right behind Drew Brees? Romo is a crappy starter, but he thinks he should be a starter, so let him start and lose somewhere else.

I've said it before and I'll say it here...

That this guy went to the pro bowl is a travesty and a mockery of what the pro bowl stands for!

If the voting for the pro bowl was done in an non-stupid manner - that is, the voting starts late in the season rather than in week 7 - then he would never had made it anyway. He had a couple of good games early on, but the league started to catch up with him after about 4 or 5 games and his performances really suffered.

I'm not saying that he didn't do OK last year, but Pro Bowl quality he was not. There is no conceivable reason why we would go after him at all. Dallas isn't even sure of how good he is or they would offer him a big, long term contract.
