[Yitbos69]

I was just Crunching some #'s. Romo's PPG avarge in games he was the starter ranked him 3rd among all QB's in my league. Only Manning at 22.6 and Brees at 19.8 were better than Romo 19.5.

People are down on him because of his missed hold. But what other starting QB is the holder for there team?

If you look at the Cowboys roster you got to think this guy can be a top 5 QB.

He is ranked 12th on the FBG's Shark Pool Dynasty Rankings and he is ranked 15th by both Bloom and Pasquino.

Thoughts?

You're still going on half a season, and one that was greatly influenced by that T-giving Day game. I personally like him, but it's not being honest to say that he doesn't have some question marks about him, not to mention his overall team situation. His line is shaky, he has a new head coach, and he has two primary WR's whose average age is about 33 and one of whom makes Lisa Nowak look sane. I think QB12 is probably right, recognizing that he does have upside above that. We can all agree though that wherever he ranks in mocks, he's QB1 in Carrie Underwood's heart.

I don't see the missed hold as anything. I think he should be higher, but with a new coaching staff I understand a conservative rating. I plan on picking him up in a dynasty league as a backup where he is a RFA.

Personally, I really dont think Romo is that great. I dont know what it is about him, but i Just dont think hes that good.

I thought the same thing and then over and over he proved that he was pretty darn good. This season will answer a lot of questions about him.Again in games he started he had a 19.5 PPG avg.(10 reg season games)

I thought Romo had the potential to easily be top 5 this year...with Parcells. He had been in the system and knew what he was doing. The change in coaching may have a slight negative effect if they change a few things or could be disaterous if they drastically change things for Romo.

You and redman are correct. The coaching change could have a neg effect on his progress

If I am looking to add a young prospect QB I would rather add an unproven guy who has had success over a young prospect who has not been very successful. I'm starting to think Romo is a better prospect than Eli Manning who really has not shown much improvement yet.

 

[FTRWRTR]

I agree that his first six games heavily influenced his stats. This year will be a much better indicator of how goo he is or isn't. Right now I'm not planning on drafting him or making any trades for him.

Manning's QB rating has improved each year as has his completion %. These are NOT good numbers, but he would have improved pretty well this year if his team didn't get decimated04' 55.405' 75.906' 77.0Romo's 1st 7 games had him at 13 TD's and 5 picksRomo's last 5 games had him at 6 TD's and 8 picks Losing Manning's starting LT and starting WR along with a hobbled Shockey has made it difficult to put a good gauge on his progress. No QB looks good when they are constantly knocked on their butt.Teams adjust and it seems that teams adjusted to Romo and he needs to make his adjustment now. I think Eli is better, but maybe not fantasy wise next year. Dynasty wise I would take Eli over Romo.

Romo had a QB rating of 95.1 and completion % of 65.5. Out of the top 12 QB in terms of FF scoring(per FBG's) only P. Manning and Brees had better QB ratings and none had a better completion %

Another thing I like to factor in for QB is possible bad weather during the FF playoffs. Much rather have a QB from Dallas than some poor weather cities that time of the year. I think I probably put more emphasis on that than many others.

Dallas is not changing the offense. Tony Sparano called all of the plays last year and he will continue to be a big part of this next years offense. Jason Garrett will probably call the plays but it will be the same plays from the last year with only minor tweaking.

 

[Ariakis]

One thing to remember is that the Cowboys OL was more or less a mess and that was a major reason for Bledsoe being benched. The fact that for the most part the OL didn't become the talking point only shows how much of a benefit he was to that offense. I don't know that Romo is higher than QB12 but he absolutely has upside to exceed it and very little chance to do worse.

 

[culdeus]

I think the letdown was more a function of Parcells refusing to do work in the last part of the season. The offesnse was not adjusting to the defense at all. With Garrett in there doing the work and schemes I think there is a good chance he's a low top 10 QB.

Also should note there is not a push to get a veteran backup. So nobody to push him aside if indeed he spares the whole team to death.

 

[redman]

Are they retaining Bledsoe?

 

[Yitbos69]

IIRC they are not.

Yeah but his rating over the last 5 games mentioned above was a mediocre 77. With a great receiver to throw to along with some other pretty good weapons one would expect better than that.QB rating does not tell the entire story, but he clearly was not as good in December as he was earlier and MAYBE the league adjusted to him.Fantasy wise he should do well with the weapons around him.

I think TO lead the league in drops

TO down the stretch last year was dropping way too many balls to be in this category. If he holds onto more, than Romo is an easy top 5-which could happen next year!!!BTW, I realize every QB has some passes dropped, but TO's were for TD's and huge gains...

I agree that his first six games heavily influenced his stats. This year will be a much better indicator of how goo he is or isn't. Right now I'm not planning on drafting him or making any trades for him.

I just look at his last 4 reg. season games and his avg was still 18.3 down from 20.3 his 1st 6 starts not a huge drop

but look who he played..new orleans, atlanta, philly, and detroit. Also in two of those games he completed less than 49% of his passes. Bottom line is a person can pull out good stats of his or a set of bad stats which is why I say it's too early to tell and next year will be a better gauge of what he can do

My point was that his stats were not heavily influenced by his 1st six games or any one game. He was pretty steady from a FF point of view.
