The Romo deal got me looking at the Dallas roster to see where his supporting cast landed...and Doug Free is still there?
Part of the reason Romo looks so bad is the never ending follies of the rest of the offense. Jason Garrett's playcalling, Free's drive killing holds and false starts, Dez Bryant's drops, etc. All of this on top of Jerrah's behavior undermining the coaches every other week...I dunno if top 3 money is called for but Romo is hardly the problem down there. Or at least he shouldn't be the only one left holding the bag when they miss the playoffs.

Indeed, Romo is a proven clutch winner who can put a team on his back and carry them to the promised land!
I'd love to see the medical bills caused by Cowboy fans falling all over themselves as they sprint to their keyboards to make Romo excuses every time the Douchebag Signal goes up because someone on the internet was being mean to Romo.
edit: Word is Steelers will sign Ahmad Bradshaw if he passes his physical. Soooo, I mean...if his foot stays on I guess and he comes cheap maybe....they could get 2 good seasons out of him possibly.

Despite my team not supporting my massive cunt I have willed it to giant proportions single handidly! Sure they've spent millions and millions surrounding my cunt with cunt enlargers and it still has never really become a REAL giant cunt, but it's not my cunt's fault. Obviously. The left cunt stretcher keeps getting cunt holding penalties and my cunt widener keeps dropping my cunt. Honestly, my cunt is basically cunting 11 on 1 every play. Someone should give my cunt 55 million dollars for that one time it actually WAS giant for like, a minute.

They took the safe route. The kid is less likely to fumble away the pen.
What ... the ... fuck ...
Big Ben has been a dumpster fire for the last 3 seasons (how about that Romo-esque game ending pick against the Cowboys last season?) and your team (read: defense) is old, slow, and injured constantly. The Bengals have been more relevant for 2 years straight. Worry about your own team's problems.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I don't see the problem with Romo's contract. Anyone that thinks the signing immediately dooms the Cowboys to mediocrity or worse the next handful of seasons is an idiot. 8 of the last 13 Super Bowls have been won by QBs that weren't considered elite at the time (Dilfer, Brady's first, Brad Johnson, Big Ben twice, Eli Twice, and Flacco). I can safely say that Romo is at least a competent a QB as all of those players and significantly better than some of them. Like those players listed, Romo is good enough to be a winner he just isn't good enough to put a team on his back and like those other QBs mentioned he needs to have the right team around him. The contract itself also isn't going to restrict the Cowboys from potentially signing talent as some people seem to think. I'm not saying the Cowboys are going to go out and win a super bowl or be perennial playoff contenders, just that if they don't succeed it isn't because of this one event.
Also, the people who are criticizing the contract in the form of "lol he got paid XXX amount of dollars for Y playoff wins", like Donovan McFlab is a fucking hypocrite and can shut the fuck up. These are the exact same people who were defending the Bears in the Urlacher situation claiming (correctly) that you pay a player for what he is worthnow, not for what he has done in the past. There isn't a QB available out there that would come close to being an upgrade to Romo, signing him gives them the best chance to succeed.

2 years straight? Sure, this last year the bengals were just simple irrelevant, as opposed to completely irrelevant like the steelers.
but the previous year... how do you consider the 9-7 bengals more relevant than the 12-4 steelers?

Romo has actually grown on me after the relentless barrage of propaganda from manowarr & co.
I kinda do think thats a decent amount to pay for him (I think he's better than Aikman was). but at the same time its a waste of salary cap. They just dropped mega bucks on a player who's going to continue trying to drag one of the shittiest teams in the NFL to a 8-8 mediocrity every season and hope for a wildcard spot.
And thats about as good as its gonna get for them for a long time.
