Romo

Broncos reportedly ready to pursue Tony Romo, Romo reportedly wants to play for Denver

 

[LGM]

Id rather sign Dale Carter again.

Well with no LT I have to agree. If true it also show a complete lack of faith of our young guns. More troublesome to me however will be the money spent on Romo, and will probably mean we will reach for and draft for need instead of talent. If we pass on a player like the caliber of Foster for some OL with question marks I will be pissed. And let's face it, every OL in this draft have question marks of whether they can succeed on the next level. I would rather use the money to fortify our o line and draft talent, regardless of position.

Maybe we can trade Dallas for L. Collins whom we should've drafted last year?

Well, Elway has managed this team to 5 straight AFC West titles, Two SB appearances, and another Lombardi with a golden "50". I'm willing to give Elway a bit of leeway in team decisions. I don't see him passing on talent to reach for OL.

I'm not thrilled but I am glad to see they only seem prepared to go after him if the Cowboys release him. I'd have hated to see the Broncos pay up in a trade.

I'm with you on Elway, but let's not pretend he hasn't been pretty awful when evaluating the draft for o line. Almost every OL he's drafted has been a reach especially at either T position. And that was with a viable option like Clady on the team. Now that we are at code red critical at the position, I could certainly see a reach. There isn't a LT in this draft without major questions. I hope we can get one in FA, but with potentially signing Romo, that could put a snag in that. Another question is, if we sign Romo, what does that say about our young QB's, and Elway's evaluation of drafting qb's? Like I've stated before, he's been absolutely brilliant in drafting defensive talent. It's just a bit ironic he's struggled on drafting offensive talent

 

[Draft Crazy]

Romo makes too much sense to come here... The position are team is in now I am not comfortable with either Lynch or Siemian.

Worst case is Romo comes in and Lynch starts to develop like our draft brass in Denver had hoped for. Great problem to have. Can never have enough good QB's on a roster.

 

[Dr Cyanide 28]

This is happening guys.

 

[nflbronco]

Don't like it but, expect it to happen. I just hope Lynch is ready to go in week 3.

 

[Draft Crazy]

This is happening guys.

Brace yourself!

It is happening.

 

[Mingo]

The funny thing is - I have read the team with the most interest in signing Romo is the Texans - and I can't imagine how much they are willing to invest in the QB position.

 

[Draft Crazy]

That is because you live in Texas, so of course that is what you're reading.

Except this piece of info came fro Klis.

 

[Draft Crazy]

So the Texans bring in Tony Romo who gets hurt in week 1, give up on Osweiler, who our Broncos bring back and he leads us to a Super Bowl proving how great of a franchise we have. How much better can the story get?

 

[Orange Crush77]

Good riddance to Osweiler, he's a baby

 

[Duffman]

I think Denver knows they're about to sign a big name LT otherwise it would be dumb to bring in a guy like Romo if we have no O-line to protect him.

Right now Romo is injury prone based on the last couple years but if you give him some good protection(I know the Cowboys have the best O-line in the league and he still got hurt) then he's worth the risk because he'd be the best QB option by a mile.

 

[MileHigh64]

I think the potential of Tony Romo not only upgrades the QB position but can help whatever O-line they assemble to improve as well. With more experience, he'll be better at recognizing coverages, changing plays at the line of scrimmage and will get rid of the ball quicker.

 

[Orange Crush77]

That is true MH64, but he hasn't shown that ability behind one of the best units in football. Look if Romo can stay healthy, there's no question he's our best option. And it isn't very close either. It's a huge gamble on whether he can stay healthy, moreso than when Peyton came here

 

[MileHigh64]

I hear ya, OC. It's a gamble for sure. I'm guessing the Broncos would want to put together a contract that was heavily incentive laden to cover their bet with Romo's health.

My comment is less about Romo staying healthy but more along what would happen IF he does. His play at quarterback would help the O-line's performance based on his experience alone.
