Cutler for Romo

[Matt Foley]

Would you do it? I would if I was Dallas, and I would if I was Denver.

[Fireball77]

I don't think so. I think they are kind of similar ability wise.

[Matt Foley]

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.

[Fireball77]

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.

They are both over rated crybabies. IMO, A gunslinger > A franchise qb

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

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.

Both of them suck and will never led a team to the super bowl... Romo is not mentally tough enough and cutler is too much af o cry baby

[Mr. Scot]

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:

[Fireball77]

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).

Oh, you are right.

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

This sounds familiar.
