Cutler for Romo


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

Romo has reached his ceiling, IMHO. Denver saves face and gets a QB who can lead them to the playoffs. Dallas, on the other hand, gets a very talented guy who needs a change of address in the worst way. Put Cutler with Dallas' OC and you'd have something special, I think.

Romo has actually proven less than Cutler playoff wise because though Cutler has never played in the playoffs, Romo has not fared particularly well performance wise. And I don't think either of them played all that well in Dec of 2008. Cutler has the arm strength over Romo, though Romo's is pretty good. They are both able to make throws they shouldn't be able to and are athletic. Mental wise, I have doubts about both of them though. And McDaniels will not want another freewheeling guy like Romo IMO.

I'd do this in a heartbeat of I was Jerry Jones, he needs to get fans excited also going into his Billion dollar stadium this season.

Romo has peaked, but is atleast a decent and young replacement for Cutler. I'd ask for Romo and maybe a draft pick for Cutler if I was Denver

I agree with you FB..

Both are very gifted everywhere but the most important place, between the ears. Both have caved when the pressure was on them, I want neither.

However, and this would never happen, but if I was offered Cutler for Romo, if I am the Cowboys I think long and hard about it.

My reasoning, MONEY. Romo signed a huge deal, and Cutler is still on his rookie contract.

Moot now, but I thought this was going to make for an interesting discussion.

In a way they are the same guy: talented, but with issues. Mind you, Romo's problems aren't so much selfish, me-first bad attitude as they are bright lights-big city, Hollywood star, head-up-his-a$$ syndrome. He seems to be more interested in living the lifestyle of being the Cowboys QB than actually working hard to be the best Cowboys QB he can.

The debate would essentially be "which downside do you prefer"? :sosp:

It's even moreso that Romo seems to scoff at the whole fact that he is being questioned about that's being an issue. First there's the whole Cabo before the playoffs disaster. Second, I remember how when BP was in Dallas he handed Romo the 11 QB commandments and the last one is DO NOT BE A CELEBRITY QB. Well they asked Romo about that one last year and I believe he said you can be a celebrity QB if you are good enough. Kind of implying he thought he was...you know...good enough. I think Romo is more salvageable attitude wise than Cutler if only because Romo wasn't some 1st rounder who had a silver spoon from the get go like Cutler. At least you would THINK that would be the case...most longshot guys who end up starting don't act like Romo to begin with. And he also hasn't shown bus throwing under tendencies like Cutler has. You can only be a whiny little bus throwing under bitch and get away with it if you have proven your abilities for more than a year or two (Peyton).

Cutler is a gunslinger......and who said a gunslinger can't be a franchise QB?

Oh, you are right.

In general though, A primarily gunslinger mentality is better than a robotic-"going through the motions" style.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
