Rumor: Peyton Manning interested in playing for the Texans

[DeadlyDynasty]

And I guess I do defend him

yeah, no

[Spursfan092120]

How many of the same starters are still there from when he took over as starter back in 2006?

?? That's a stupid response. How many starters have been there for all the years the Raiders have sucked? The Browns? The Bills? It's a team issue. When your team consistently loses, it gets stuck with you. Jerry Jones is a horrible GM/Drafter/Anything to do with football, and he's the one person we can't get rid of. That's the issue. Trading up in the draft to pick players we don't need, and trading out of the first round, when that's where you find the higher quality players. With him doing that, we'll never get the talent we need to get back to the winning we did in the '90s.

You're doing a great job of convincing me you're "not a fan of Romo."

Look at the Colts w/o Peyton this year: 2-14
Look at the 2010 Cowboys w/o Romo: 6-5, including wins at NYG, PHI, and Indy

My original post was not about liking Romo..it was about saying I wouldn't want Peyton. He will never be the same...he hid a 4th surgery...he's probably going to need another surgery, and he will always have neck issues. It's not worth spending the money on a QB with a huge monkey on his back when he have other, much more important problems glaring at us if we have ever plan on making the playoffs anytime soon. Let's get back on track, shall we?

You don't know that...the season is a long way away. If he can't play then he can't play, but if he's given the green light then you sign him. The Cowboys would instantly be SB contenders at that point.

We all know what Tony Romo's ceiling is: great statistical years, december meltdowns, and 2-3 losses every year that leave you thinking "what the did I just watch?" If you love mediocrity, then by all means keep chugging, but I thought Cowboys fans had higher goals than that.

They are higher than that...but you're not seeing the big picture, which is why I assume you're bolding the only parts you're wanting to respond to. We need a of a lot more than a QB. If we spend the money we'll need to spend to sign Peyton, our secondary will still suck, our Line will still suck, and we'll still have only one decent pass rusher. Peyton will not bring us a Super Bowl. , Joe ing Montana in his prime wouldn't get us a Super Bowl right now. We have too much work to do, and if we get Peyton, we won't have the money to go after the people we're going to need to get to win. It's not about one player..it's about the whole unit. If you're asking me if I'd rather have a healthy Peyton Manning than a healthy Tony Romo, yeah I would. But not for the money it's going to cost...we're in rebuild mode, not win now mode, unfortunately.

More excuses. A healthy (or quasi-healthy Peyton) makes you contenders RIGHT NOW, regardless of the D. That's what great QB's do. Look at the bad teams Peyton's dragged to 12-13 wins every year. Look at the dog Brady dragged to the SB this year. He had a great TE, a good one, a white slot receiver, and 0 vertical threats or running game--and an atrocious defense. Rodgers weathered half his team on IR last year and won 15 games this year with the 32nd ranked defense and injuries to both starting OT's. Brees carries that team every year with a defense that gives up everything. Eli kept his team afloat this year through injury, and won in New England with guys like Ramses Barden catching passes.

Romo has a top 5 TE, 2 nasty starting WR's, a damn good 3WR in Robinson, and 2 good RB's. He also has the premier pass rusher on his defense, as well as good players like Ratliff and Lee. Not a good defense, but not GB-bad either.

What did the secondary have to do with 2 pick-sixes against the Lions (and a 3rd-pick that set-up the game winner)? What did the secondary have to do with fumbling at the Jet goal line when all you needed was a fg, then handing them the game when you throw it RIGHT AT THE BEST CB in football?

The defense cost them the 1st Giant game no doubt, but how do you miss a wide-open Miles Austin when he's 5-yards beyond the defender? He doesn't up any one of those plays and chances are Cowboys make the playoffs.

Keep chugging, and by the time the Cowboys finally get all those pieces you want I'm sure Tony will cease to make bad decisions that cost his team games.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I think if Romo dedicates himself and studies tape of Eli Manning (on and off the field) he can still save his legacy. Stop posturing in interviews, stop hamming it up at press conferences, and stop choking in big games.

Romo & Eli are very different

Romo = Big plays. Big mistakes. Looks like the best QB in the league at times & then s bed on some stupid screen pass

Eli = Steady hand. Never blows you away but never looks lost

Ugh....it wouldn't even matter, even if he hadn't made those mistakes in those games he would have made them somewhere else....he's just a QB who goes completely downhill after one minor up. Getting Peyton would be huge for the Cowboys.

There's a reason Romo has won a grand total of one playoff game in 5 years of starting. The guy is a pure choker. I would compare him to Dirk but Dirk always got his team to the playoffs every year and performed when he got there. Romo can't even do that...

[Blake]

the only draw back for manning going to az is warner joined and they won they went to the superbowl if he does not get them their
OUCH

az record was bad at first because coaches were trying to much and they scaled back on the playcalling to more simple plays without training camp

Why did you even bother to edit?

One of the biggest differences between the two is what they do when they're under pressure in the pocket.

Eli always knows where his checkdown is and will flip it to him for 3-5 yards every time.

Romo will always try and singlehandedly evade the pressure by himself and get a big gain usually resulting in a sack/turnover but occasionally a huge play

It's the Brett Favre "gunslinger" mentality.
