Please say no to Romo. If he were to come to Chicago who should we get to play the other 14 games?

I wanted Hoyer but it may be too much of a luxury to have Romo & Hoyer & Watson.
Romo / Watson / Barkley or equivalent will do. It's gonna be an exciting season.

Schein confirms that Romo will be released with a verbal agreement that he can't go to division rival Redskins or cross-state Texans. First media mention of this.
It's pretty much a sure thing now that he's coming to Chicago. Time to plan the rest of the roster around him.

You should have your own tv show Saturday nights on abc right before that style program.

No doubt, when Romo is on the field he is very good/great. Obviously with him it's all about getting and staying on the field. Does anyone think he can start all 16?

as long as you have a plan b.. y not.. who cares about if he cant... what if he can.....his contract may be structured around being available to play... so perhaps an easy out 1-3 yr contract..
romo is on my shortlist of guys id be okay with.. but i rank him a lil lower cause of those injury concerns.. but i wouldnt be mad if they signed him over glennon/kap (if he is 100 on opting out)
because at the end of the day im fine with cutler for one more year when i look at the bigger picture... at least draft a mid-late round qb if your gonna role with jay for one more year though
or just go get the goat ... glennon

It was a freak injury, hit from behind and above with flexion of his spine causing a compression fracture. It healed without surgery in 6 weeks and is old news. He missed 10 games last season because he was benched for Dak.
He had two transverse process fractures in 2014, an unrelated minor injury at a completely different level for which he was out 1 game. And he had a herniated disc for which he had minimally invasive microdiscectomy, no hardware put in. All unrelated.
This whole Romo has a glass back is pure myth. But I'm glad it's out there, it's the biggest reason we are gonna be able to sign a top 5 QB.
He did also break a pinky and break his collarbone over 11 seasons. In 11 seasons, he played 13+ games in 8 of them, 15+ games in 7 of them. All with a career #4 QB rating among active quarterbacks.
He does have a playing-style that puts him at a higher injury risk than say Brady, but no different from someone like Cutler.
I am completely okay with the low-medium risk/very high reward on him next year. And if anything happens, we just get to see Watson sooner.

I'm with you on some of that, there are some very real problems.
Back problems.
You should stop that ASAP.
Romo has started 4 games in the last 2 seasons. Just stop. Old injured guy. Does Romo have the ability to be available, I don't know, neither do you, or Pace. Roll the dice Pace, if he gets a vet with no development QB, and it doesn't work, he is gone.
Two options:
1. Sign/trade for a vet, and he kicks ass.
2. Draft a guy that looks like a future franchise QB.
Anything else is failure.

He was available week 8/game 7 against the Eagles. He was benched for Dak who kept winning.
Available to start:
2011 16 games
2012 16 games
2013 15 games
2014 15 games
2015 4 games (left collarbone)
2016 10 games (L1 compression fracture)
You know who else missed games due to injury last year? Jimmy, out 4-6 weeks after his 2nd career start, injury to his throwing shoulder, grade 2 AC separation, requiring surgery. Which actually can have longterm repeat implications unlike Romo's back.
Belichik on Jimmy's throwing shoulder: "I’m a football coach, not a doctor. I coach the team, the medical people handle the injuries. I don’t do surgery."
I would take Romo over Jimmy on who starts more games next year.

I'm pretty sure Romo has one of the best 4th quarter rating in history. The guy can flat out play at a very high level, DO IT PACE!!

The Pat's needed 4 games from JG, he couldn't give them 2. I've never called for Jimmy. I think Romo is old and brittle, great QB, you just can't count on him for 16.
I don't think there is a QB in the draft that is worth the 3rd pick. A lot of people don't agree and think the Bears have to use the 3rd on a QB and/or sign Romo or JG. It's not a popular opinion to do neither. I think the Bears should draft a QB and sign a vet, I would like to see Mahomes and Hoyer.

SAS loses his shit when he hears Romo's contract demands to come to Chicago.

NFL.com explains why Houston, Denver, Kansas City, Buffalo, and Arizona are not good options for Romo.
Romo is blocked from going to Houston. Denver is not willing to offer more than the NFL minimum salary of $450,000, KC and Arizona have starters they are not ready to move on from, and Romo would choose Chicago over Buffalo.

Skip Bayless is predicting Romo's Bears over Dak's Cowboys in the NFC championship game next year. I think Super Bowl talk is a bit premature but there you have it.

I wonder how much business Romo conducted during his golf tournament win.
