BADOLBILZ Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Do you think what these teams offer will play into thier decision at all? We lost out on Alex Smith because even though we offered the same, the Cheaps pick was earlier than ours so the Whiners went with it. Wasn't just because they don't like the Bills. IMO, much different situation than Alex Smith. I think with the exception perhaps a few Jerry Jones "veto" teams......like possibly Houston......Romo and his agent basically will decide where he goes. Nobody is trading a #1 and really can't envision anyone trading a #2 pick for Romo either. He is damaged goods.......might be a later pick that can be upgraded based on team success. To me.....LA Rams would seem like a good fit for all parties involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezertbill Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) I'm as pessimistic as they come, but the Bills are easily 2nd on that list of plausible options. Houston - they are stuck with Brock for at least another year barring they hit the lotto on a drafted QB. They can't take on another big QB contract. LA - they just picked a QB at 1st overall. They are committed to finding out about him for at least another year or two. NY Jets - questionable OL, older receivers, Forte is 31. Whats their offense? Whose is their OC? Buffalo - Sammy Watkins and McCoy. Charles Clay is good. Pretty good OL. Could potentially draft another target at 10. Denver - they are the clear favourite for Romo if he wants to go there and they want him. Report says Denver not interested. Rams have Goff and they'll want him to play not sit . Romo wants to start. Bears, 49ers and Jets have nowhere near the talent the Bills have. That's leaves Texans and Bills. Edited January 16, 2017 by dezertbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I still think ultimately it comes down to the 4 teams I said. Where do the Bills rank on that? Depends what the key factor is for Romo. Is it money? Is it chance to win a Championship? Is it lifestyle? Is ot simply extending his career as long as he can?

hondo in seattle Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 His back is held together with rubber bands and paper maché. No thanks. It's such a roll of the die. Romo might last the entire season. He might not even last preseason. The risks are huge. Although there's no doubt in my mind that Romo is a better QB, I'd also rather bring Tyrod back.

aristocrat Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 minny might be a choice. real good defense and could have a lot of space releasing ap and bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills! Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 minny might be a choice. real good defense and could have a lot of space releasing ap and bradford. Poor running game and AP might be on his way out with the money due this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 minny might be a choice. real good defense and could have a lot of space releasing ap and bradford. Good call.......forgot about them. Playing in a dome is a plus for an injury riddled QB like Romo. But I think playing in a division against Rodgers and GB is a deterrent. I'd still think sunny SoCal in a weakening division would be tempting for the fragile fella'. Yeah they have Goff in development but I'd think Kroenke would welcome a winning season......they've actually been worse than the Bills over the past decade and are trying to develop a fanbase in a now competitive market........ and Goff could afford to sit and learn behind a very good veteran.

The only other place that might have interest is the Browns. A dark horse here could be Jacksonville if the Jaguars decide that Bortles is NOT the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 That's all you would get. Yep... Ouch is correct. 3 x times left collarbone Romo was a very good QB at one time...He probably could be again by the grace of God...or something like that...But at this point the guy gets breathed on wrong and he's going to break...He'll be 37 in April and he has taken a ton of big hits...I honestly can't understand why any Bills fan would even consider it for a minute...The odds of him playing a full season at this point are astronomical...

iinii Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Let Jerry or someone else have Romo. There won't be enough Toradol to keep Romo on the field when that cold wind blows off the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Adding Romo to a roster undergoing a serious rebuild is foolish. Also Romo isn't durable or reliable to be the long term answer. Think back to McDermotts interview with Chris Brown and even Whaley's interview. There appears to be more of an emphasis on a long term sustainable vision or plan going forward. I don't see how pursuing a 37 year old with a bad back goes with that thinkkng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan would be to trade for Romo and bring in Hoyer as the backup, who I think would be excellent in that position, and then draft another and see how he and Cardale develop. Now that Dallas is out Jerry can start looking towards the offseason and get Romo traded to us hopefully. Adding Romo to a roster undergoing a serious rebuild is foolish.

Whaley said we are close . I think if we get the right offense, QB and weapons we will be in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
