LightReaper posted:Dude's shorter and found success, cool! Look I'll be honest this is nearing the end of my second full season as a follower of American Football so I don't know a ton about a lot of the QBs in the league - does Brees find success in the short range passing game down the middle? Brees finds success throwing everywhere. He's absolutely insane and I'm so glad Wilson idolizes him, because he runs one of the most prolific and entertaining passing attacks in history.

Flikken posted:Because I've seen this story many times before. The Browns haven't been a contender since they started back up in Cleveland, though. For a team like Denver or Houston*, a healthy Romo would turn them from "flawed playoff contenders" into "likely Super Bowl appearances." Romo's had injuries, but nothing knee- or hip-related so far and he'd be worth a gamble to a team looking to push through. Denver did exactly this same thing with Peyton Manning in 2012--it's not like Manning was a sure thing coming off a full missed season and multiple neck surgeries. Romo isn't manning, but comparatively his injuries aren't as career-threatening, and he'll probably still have more zip and velocity on his throws than post-2011 Manning. For the Bears/Jets/Rams, I suspect it's more about just being a contender and keeping fans in the stands while they build a team and find/develop the QB of the future. I don't think any team thinks Romo is a long-term solution, but there's more than enough potential upside to take a gamble on him now. *Houston is stuck with Osweiler though, and thus is hosed

I have no doubt that Jerry is still intimately involved in contract negotiations even if he isn't making all the personnel decisions. And he's mid-tier these days because he's delegated some of his authority.

Manning outside of his neck surgery had a much better durability history, so the gamble on him was different than gambling on Romo. Romo has broken either his back or clavicle how many times? When was the last time has he put a full season together? How many times has he done that in the last 5 years? If you want to develop a qb of the future that you want to sit a while you don't back him up to Romo. Romo went out in what, the preseason this year? As far as Cleveland not being a contender since coming back I would argue they were in 2002 and 2007 but that's neither here nor there.

h/t: Vic Carucci of the Buffalo Newsquote:A power struggle appears to be at the root of reports of the potential coaching change for the Buffalo Bills, The News has learned. In the interest of continuity, the continuity we desperately need for a team we think is going in the wrong direction, we are going to fire the head coach and starting QB.

Romo has broken either his back or clavicle how many times? When was the last time has he put a full season together? How many times has he done that in the last 5 years? If you want to develop a qb of the future that you want to sit a while you don't back him up to Romo. Romo went out in what, the preseason this year? So what if Manning's other history was better? Everyone was worried about the impact it would have on his ability to throw (significant) and popular opinion was that he was one hit away from a wheelchair. Manning's injury was career- and life-threatening and there was no indication that he was going to come back from that, or if he'd even be as good if he did. Plenty of people thought he was going to retire. That injury concern was a major part of Manning's contract with the Broncos: NFL.com in 2012 posted:If Manning passes a physical in March 2013 he'll be guaranteed $40 million over the next two seasons. There is currently an injury waiver in place, however, that should Manning injure his neck in 2013, the Broncos can void the contract at that point and 2014 would not be guaranteed, sources told La Canfora. Those sources also said there is ongoing dialogue about that injury waiver, and whether it should apply to both years, and until Manning signs the deal that is not locked in. Now Romo is no Peyton Manning, but he has consistently been one of the best passers of the last decade when healthy and he did play full seasons in 2014, 2012, and 2011, and 15 games in 2013 before he opted for season-ending surgery. Broken collarbones and Vertebrae aren't unrecoverable injuries, and even if Romo suffered another broken collarbone next seasons (which isn't guaranteed--he went 5 years between breaks), it wouldn't put him out for an entire season unless it happened late. Romo went out in the preseason this year but he's been ready to play for several weeks now. And either way, for teams who are clearly competitors just missing great QB play (Denver) or marginally competitive in a bad division and looking to hold ground through a transition (Chicago), the opportunity to have Romo on a no-risk contract* in exchange for what will likely be a conditional pick has a lot of upside. *that's the other thing you don't seem to be considering--if Romo is traded, the new team inherits no signing bonus or dead money, so they could cut him at any time. Like everything else, it's not about "oh well this guy might get hurt," but rather a risk vs reward calculation, and again, there's more than enough upside for some teams to take a chance on him.
