Quote:P. Manning and T. Brady are the only elite QB's in the NFL.   I love Romo, but agree with you on that...as bad as his O lines were and the past few years with the bad D, hard to fork over all that money to a guy when the team has not had much success.  I think Jerry was afraid someone would pay that much and somebody would have....  Can't blame him because after Aikman, they couldn't find and develop a QB till they were fortunate to hit on Romo, who we all know was undrafted.  They still do not have Tony's replacement.  However, as far as the contract goes, I believe there is an out in 2 years.  Not sure exactly how, but I have read often there is one.

 

I think Brees and Rodgers would have something to say about not being elite.

 

I think the Dalton deal is a bit much but past performance is not an indicator of the future.  They now get to build around the QB and have a clear vision.  That is a worthwhile business strategy, regardless if the class is a 4 or 5, just a guy or elite QB.
