Easily. Great weapons to work with. Mobility. Witten (his buddy and roommate) can now get into the patterns more. I think Romo might even be a Top 10 QB if you're not paying any tax for his turnovers.Could he be a top 15 fantasy QB the rest of the way?
Romo is definitely going to be hit n miss but overall you could do worse for a starting FF QB - worth at least a backup slot. Unlike fn bledsoe :bitter:Unlike P. Manning and a few other robot QBs in the league, he has the potential to beat a Belicek coached team.
settle down there fellaIf you want to make money listen to me. If you want to lose money listen to SICKTHING. Made 50 grand on Tiki, Thanks Tiki,Will make another 50 grand on Romo! GUAREENTEED! Your welcome to have your own opinion different then mine SICKO but don;t follow me around here and call me out. Put your $$$ where your mouth is. YOUR LOSE EVERYTIME! Romo is ALREADY TOP 10 AFP PER GAME if you discount his 8 pts of mop up duty against Houston. 19 in one half against Giants. And over 20 his first full game against a tuff Carilina D in normal scoreing leagues except 3 pt. deductions for turnovers. And sickface JONES IS THE REASON ROMO wasn't starting in first place no matter what you think or say! If you followed the Cowboys instead of me around here to challenge what I say maybe you would know where my statements came from.
He looked good. He stood in the pocket when he need to, he rolled out of the pocket when he needed to. The Redskins didn't get a ton of pressure on him and he handled most of it pretty well. He didn't make any really bad throws that remember.Thought I'd bump after yesterday's performance. Pretty good, no picks, two TD tosses. Could have had 3 and 300+ yards if not for Mr. Dropsie...
Maybe soBut ROMO has all the weapons to keep his play level up though Clayton/Galloway/A.Smith/Caddy is no where near TO/GLENN/CRAYTON/WITTEN/JJ/MBIII. Romo is showing so much poise and alot of his passes are right on target like he threading a needle. I say he can keep it up from here on out. Bruce G just didnt make too many mistakes in his 1st 2 starts. Numbers dont tell everything...Bruce Gradkowski looked like a damned good fantasy qb after his first two starts as well.
I like Romo as well I simply think we should temper our expectations. If in a few weeks he's still performing at this level then I'll crown his ### along with the rest of you. I want to see how he handles himself after opposing teams have had time to plan against him.Maybe soBut ROMO has all the weapons to keep his play level up though Clayton/Galloway/A.Smith/Caddy is no where near TO/GLENN/CRAYTON/WITTEN/JJ/MBIII.

Yes, but Gradkowski is a rookie. Romo is in his 4th season. Big difference.Bruce Gradkowski looked like a damned good fantasy qb after his first two starts as well.
I am not crowning him either......I do think he has looked good and is playing on a pretty good team with very good WR. How well he plays in the next 8 games will be a big factor in what I do at the end of the year.....I hope he keeps getting betterYes, but Gradkowski is a rookie. Romo is in his 4th season.

Couple weeks of tape on him now and def will start planning against him. Leinart looked good for two starts too. I can't wait till Romo stuggles and T.O. is all up in his ####. It's going to be a top notch soap opera. They sure are buddies right now aren't they? Kinda looks like McNabb and TO yucking it up on the sidelines when they had it going at first. This is going to be high-larious.Didn't Dallas lose to the lowly Redskins?Bruce Gradkowski looked like a damned good fantasy qb after his first two starts as well.

Wow if you ever thought Mike Williams was the real deal and Romo is not, You need a new hobby.Yeah Michael Clayton, Mike Williams, Chris Perry are also the real deal.

Yeah I am in a similiar position, at this point I would commit to Romo because you are going to get low balled for him and I believe his value will increase. However I have three decent qbs in my main league so I can afford to trade one. I don't know what I would do if I had only two qbs though.For teams fortunate enough to have a top QB and Romo, it would seem logical to try to move Romo to upgrade another position in the lineup. I'm trying to do that, and finding no one puts much value on him. So to flip it, anyone confident enough to trade a top QB, say Vick, and commit to Romo?
Depends on who replaces Parcells and what happens with the rest of the staff.Bump. With Bill Parcells gone does his dynasty value change?
I guess the better question would be, is he definitely a starter in the NFL? If someone took over the Bengals or the Colts there's no question that Carson Palmer and Peyton Manning would still be the man. While Romo isn't in their league, can the same be said of him? I only saw Romo when he played the Bucs and threw for 5 TD's so I have a fuzzy view on his playing ability.Depends on who replaces Parcells and what happens with the rest of the staff.Bump. With Bill Parcells gone does his dynasty value change?
Fixed.Too soon to tell, but he's showed great promise, and I am happy to have him on my dynasty team.Depends on who replaces Parcells and what happens with the rest of the staff and team.Bump. With Bill Parcells gone does his dynasty value change?
unless they draft a rookie and start him who else is out there that could even sniff the starting job from him? I can't think of anyone. I read that the cowboys plan on picking up Owens option on his contract. I don't think his ranking should change at all with parcells leaving, if Owens leaves different story...Depends on who replaces Parcells and what happens with the rest of the staff.Bump. With Bill Parcells gone does his dynasty value change?
I hear Drew Bledsoe will be available.I think his value drops further with Parcells gone. Jerry Jones did not want Romo starting this year. Romo has not exactly been helping his cause recently. I think he is going to be on a real short leash now that Parcells is not around to protect him anymore. It would not surprise me at all if Jones brought in a veteran to “compete” with Romo.
What if they hired Mike Martz? Same value as with Parcells?unless they draft a rookie and start him who else is out there that could even sniff the starting job from him? I can't think of anyone.

he didn't at the outset. but i am sure his play quelled those worries.I think his value drops further with Parcells gone. Jerry Jones did not want Romo starting this year.

'Boys Have Options with Romo, '08 Draft Premium Story
Tony Romo
By Staff Report
Posted Jun 30, 2007
Upstart quarterback Tony Romo wants a new deal -- the sooner the better. As owner Jerry Jones once said about linebacker Greg Ellis' contract demands, we all want more money.
The difference between Romo and Ellis is that Romo's future is in front of him, not behind him. He is a developing player who should only get better.
And while there is no question the Cowboys believe Romo has the potential to be their long-term answer at the position, the question they must answer is: do they pay Romo now or wait until he realizes his potential before putting the big money in front of him?
Romo has one year left on his contract and has already gone on record saying he wants an extension before the start of the 2007 season. The Cowboys are at least considering the option, as they have traded conversations with Romo's agent, Tom Condon.
The biggest obstacle is determining how much Romo is worth. He was a Pro Bowler last season and gave the team new life after taking over for the immobile Drew Bledsoe. But after winning five of his first six starts, Romo lost three of four to end the regular season and then commenced to lose the wild-card game against the Seahawks.
Romo's play was reflective of the team's results. He was great early but struggled late when it seems the opponents figured him out. Still, there was enough in what Romo did to indicate he will develop into a consistent starter for the Cowboys.
It could be financially shrewd for the Cowboys to sign Romo before the season. Unless Romo is a complete failure, signing him before the season should present a huge discount vs. what Romo would receive at the end of the season.
So don't be surprised if the Cowboys do get something done.
The Texans set the standard with a six-year, $48 million deal for quarterback Matt Schaub, who has only two career starts.
However, Romo has more to gain than the Cowboys by signing early.
If he takes less money by falling into a $48 million deal, then that's a win for a quarterback who was an undrafted free agent just five years ago.
The risk-reward for the Cowboys is greater. If Romo falters, they would have to eat the money and then find a quarterback for the future.
Don't believe that wasn't on their mind when they acquired the Browns' No. 1 pick for next season, giving the Cowboys two first round picks in 2008.
They now are expected to have the ammunition to move into the top five and possibly as high as No. 1.
If Romo succeeds, they can draft a franchise running back, receiver or offensive tackle. And regarding the money, owner Jerry Jones has never been shy about paying top dollar for a player worth the money. That is why it makes no sense for prognosticators to worry about Jones saving money now by signing Romo. Jones will be only too happy to pay Romo top dollar because he knows he will get it back tenfold in success on the field and marketing opportunities if Romo is successful. He is already one of the most popular quarterbacks in the league and he has yet to win a playoff game.
But if Romo fails, the Cowboys can use that pick on a quarterback and not be saddled with Romo's contract. That is what Jones would hate the most -- wasting money on a player who is not deserving of it.
That's a fair point, but I don't think anybody really expects them to start Crayton & Hurd at WR anytime soon. They do have the two first rounders next year they could spend on a young guy, and it wouldn't be that hard to convince a top shelf WR to come to Dallas if Romo turns into a top 10-15 QB.Romo should be ranked a little lower in dynasty than in redraft. Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn are no spring chickens. It could be as soon as 2008 before that receiving corps and even the entire offense (Jones/Barber) is drastically altered. Romo has performed well with some great surrounding weapons, but it is far to early for me to declare Romo a top10 QB with Patrick Crayton and Sam Hurd at WR.
