NFL 2012-2013 Thread

Just one more, because this offseason has been gold:


AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Talib just signed for 1 year and 5 million. With him in the fold and adrian wilson playing situational SS, the pats secondary just might be league-average!

Just need to add a corner and a pass-rusher in the draft (And an OL if vollmer doesn't sign) and things will be shaping up quite nicely

WTH? Tony Romo just signed a deal with Dallas worth $108 million over 6 years. $55 million of it is guaranteed topping Flacco's $52 million guarantee. I guess the restructuring was mainly to help Dallas with the cap room Romo would have cost them this year, but they will pay in the long run. I remember Jerry having to still pay Deion Sanders even after he had moved on to play for the Redskins. This team really needs a GM.

Under Romo, the Cowboys haven't made the playoffs since 2009. In his entire career, they have only won one playoff game. And for the cherry on top, Romo lost in the season finale the last two years in "win and you're in" division games against the Giants and Redskins.

Of course Jerry Jones decides to give him a $100 million contract through his age 39 season, with $55 million guaranteed - second only to Drew Brees' $60 million guaranteed. Tony Romo - the highest paid player in the history of the storied Cowboys franchise. Wow.

Are the Eagles not in the NFC East anymore?

I mean, Tony Romo isn't going to win any super bowls, but he's still a "franchise QB." Mike Vick on the other hand is just plain awful.

I think it's debatable whether even Eli deserves a $20 mill/year contract, and that's what makes Romo's contract so bad. It's just too much money for one position in a salary capped league.

He is easily the worst starter in the division. Assuming he actually stays healthy for a full 16 games, he has higher turnover rates and lower TD's/game than any of the other three starters. In fact, he was in the bottom 5 in offensive TD's/game last year and Foles improved it by a full TD when he took over.

Romo isn't bad, I never understood why people put all the shortcomings of a very flawed team on one guy because he f*cked up a play in hilarious fashion in the playoffs a while ago.

Blaming the 2011 loss on him isn't exactly fair, he had a good game that year. This past year he didn't play well, but the only reason they were even in that position to steal a playoff spot is because Romo played out of his mind the two weeks prior.

He's a back-end top-10 QB for the next few years. Did Jerry overpay? Yeah, but in a league where you have to have a top-10 QB to be a real contender, locking that position in for a few years (unless he's completely senile, Jerry structures the extension so they can cut bait for minimal damage after year 3 of the contract) and you hope for a miracle.

My point is, Romo isn't really the problem, Jerry Jones is.
