if he's your back up for palmer or brady, sure, why not.

You have no reason to trade him, especially if Cutler is your only other QB. Romo has TONS of talent around him and he is the real deal. The guy could be headed for a top 5 QB year. Not quite sure I understand why you would want to trade a stud like that.

So do you think that the person you are trading him too isn't going to look at who he plays in the coming weeks? Not really sure why you sell a QB who right now, is in a great system to rack up yardage and TDs. Guy dumps off passes to barber and gets 40 passing yards...then hits Owens on bombs, left and right. He is going to have bad games just like everyone else thats not named peyton manning...and you wont get manning for romo
I was just inquring to see what everyone else thought. I'm pretty high on Romo, but I wanted to see what the opinion of him out there was. I personally think he'll put up top 5 numbers and will do well with TO and the running game to support him. But if I can get some ridiculous offer, then this would be the time to find out about it.

So you don't think he's going to have a good season? Otherwise, why would you ask that?
I tried to get him pretty late in my draft but he was scooped up too early for me. I can see him pushing for 30 TD's and 4k yards.
I other words, dont trade him unless you can get back some value.

I agree. and fixed
Why would you trade him? Is your reasoning really one game against the Bears. One game of the 16 game fantasy season? Are you kiddin me? If you have that much confidence in your back-up then start him that week and then ride Romo Vs match ups you like, but these guppies who trade because of a scary game make me laugh.
If you think Romo is going to be top 5, unless you can get another top 5 qb AND a good player that will help you elsewhere, there is no reason to do a trade. Romo's value is higher now, obviously. But it can still go higher because there are still doubters out there. For example, some would discount his performance against the Giants because, well because they are a "bad defense." Yet the Giants defense gave Romo some fits last year, so why isn't this just as well an indication that Romo has improved substantially? In any event, if Romo keeps up a pace that matches his last year performance, I think you will find that his value will increase even higher. If he beats that pace, he will end the year about the same value as Palmer.

Depends what you're looking for.
If you have a week team, then maybe you do. You mention that you have Cutler, he'll be serviceable as he threw for over 300 yards himself.
So, if you're RB's stink or you need a very good WR, then maybe you can do that. If you're solid, just relax and be happy with your team.
Too many people want to do things just to do it.

He's the perfect QBBC guy - play matchups with him. Don't like him @ Mia or against the Bears. 5 TD's to the bench for me.

The shark move is kind of a dipping then lifting motion with your arm. Some times refered to as the swim move. But the shark move is more popular at parties.

I like it. I think you play match-ups with every single QB in the league except for Manning...maybe Brady, at this point. I'm going with Cutler this week...not sure I trust Romo down in Miami. Would I trade Romo, though? With Cutler in the wings? Hell no. It'd probably be hard to get something of his value in his return, anyway, considering the amount of hatred for the guy.

Chances are his value hasn't changed much after week 1. Those that believed in him are no surprised and those who think he was a bust probably think week 1 was a fluke. Some wont come around all season but a few will gain interest after his 3 or 4th game. But you'll want to keep him by then anyway

No, they did not, Mike Brown has been injured for the last 3 years actually 4, and no knowledgeable Bear fan expected Brown to be a part of the team the whole year considering his injuries. He is good but they have done allright with out him for the last 2 yearsVasher, TillmanThe bears pass defense will suffer they lost their best db for the year...
Romo will have an average game against the Bears

Do you realize that Miami just lost their best DB? As long as o-line can withhold the blitz, his guys will be open yet again.

You should immediately drop any player who faces the Bears this season. In fact, just to be safe, you should drop any player who has ever played for or against the Bears.
I would suggest speculating about who may play the Bears in the future and dropping those players too but that would be overkill.

I have that same decision but I have to roll with Romo until he shows me something that warrants a benching. I think Miami will get torched. Travis Daniels didn't look that good vs. Wash. And Yeremiah Bell is out for the season, yikes. Jason Allen will probably be moved back to safety. I'm sure Dallas will move TO all around to exploit a very thin secondary.I like it.

romo was inconsistent last year, but there is a lot to like...
lightning quick release
deadly accurate
good mobility & escapability in the pocket
can throw on the run
improved OL with leonard davis at his natural position of guard
outstanding running game to take pressure off
dangerous receiving weapons, even without glenn, in TO, witten & an underrated crayton
obviously he won't have 5 total TDs every week, & he may never throw for 20 yards per completion again (!!!)... but imo he is the real deal & a keeper... he looks like he could be top 5 this season, with upside...

I'd been on the Romo bandwagon since the middle of last season and I'm not about to get off. It just sucks that the bandwagon is starting to get crowded these days.
Sure, if anyone is willing to overpay for him, then you consider it. But don't go trading away Romo thinking that he's going to be a flop.
How bout them Cowboys!?

Brown is always hurt. They cannot miss what they never had.No, they did not, Mike Brown has been injured for the last 3 years actually 4, and no knowledgeable Bear fan expected Brown to be a part of the team the whole year considering his injuries.

I'm not sure why you'd trade him. Dallas is going to throw the ball a ton this year... and not because they have to, but because it's the philosophy the offense is predicated on. You can't ever just give up a guy that's going to be throwing 25-35 balls a game and getting 8 yds/att. He may have his his ceiling in week 1 but that doesn't mean he's going to stink the rest of the season. The opportunity is there and it'd be silly to trade it.

I just got offered Marvin Harrison straight up for Romo. I have to pull the trigger, even though I already have Reggie Wayne, Steve Smith, Donald Driver, and Ronald Curry at WR and only Roethlisberger backing up Romo. I'm going to try to trade Driver away to acquire Bulger or Hasselbeck.

He is a solid QB. He was solid for all of last season and has shown that he could easily have another probowl season.
He has a great running game and is likely to end up with a ton of time to throw the ball and betwee WItten and TO, has some NICE targets to throw to.
Unless he is a backup to Peyton or Brady, I would keep him on YOUR roster. Why let someone beat you with him later.

I think you're missing EG's bigger point.If you get very good value for ANY player, no matter who he is, you make the deal.

I think he got it. He said to make the trade right away.
No, the real question is why aren't you staying on topic?DaTruth

I dunno. The Dolphin secondary has been thin the past few years. But their front 7 has been lights out, especially at home. Romo will get hit often. He'll get yards, but I also see several turnover opportunities. Tough situation, having a QB go against one of my D's. I don't like MN at Detroit (too many passing yards), so I feel compelled to play Mia at home. My gut just tells me that the Dolphins will be a 10X tougher foe than the NYG defense, and, like most QB's, Romo will struggle in Miami. Playing Big Ben vs. the Buffalo D at home. Much more comfortable matchup.
Now, I do think Romo has a better shot to light up the Bears secondary. They can be beat through the air.

Well that is a valid trade, one that I would probably jump one, especially if you have other servicable QBs. But for arguments sake, I wouldn't get rid of Romo simply because he had a good week. I think there are many more good weeks to come. Trading for him has potential value and this past week, IMO was NOT a fluke like the "sell high" tag suggests.Romo for Harrision = trading a solid player for a solid player.

if you think he is a fluke & have other options, owners may want to move him...
if not, holding is probably recommended (unless you get a great offer like EG)...
his value could go up for some prospective trade partners... not that he will start getting 6 & 7 TDs on regular basis, but for those that thinks he is flukey, if he remains in top 3-5 for say first month of the season, he could start to gain more legitimacy, & trade value...
some owners could benefit by waiting to see what happens, because if he continues to blow up they may be glad they kept him, & possibly try & move another QB instead, if they need to shore up another position.
