Rodgers signing a new deal? Contract Details

[Partial]

{ilr]3]

I think Romo's the better player right now and worth more, but Romo signed a team friendly deal

I dont. Even though we lost to the Cowboys, all through the game I was watching and comparing Rodgers to Romo. Romo is an average QB (at best) on a great team. Rodgers appears to me to be a young, better than average QB on a young, better than average team.

I think Romo knows where he stacks up against the rest of the league. Thats why he took what he did when he renegotiated his contract.

11.3+ mil per year isn't too shabby for a quarterback.

Romo took the deal because he was an undrafted FA who needed some injury insurance.

Romo is miles ahead of Rodgers at this point.

I'll see your ridiculous statement and raise you one Romo red zone interception....how many of those has arod thrown??

How many touchdowns did Romo's team score against the Pack? How many did A-rod lead his team to scoring that weren't in garbage time?!? Case closed. Great quarterbacks win. Period.

I don't understand whats so ridiculous? He had two years left on his deal I believe... Got re-upped a hearty amount, has a hot lady, and is on top of the world.

all I know is id take Romo over Arod in a heart beat right now...

Leroy Butler calls Rodgers a "much better" quarterback than Romo too. Read the last answer here: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=797644

He says that Romo can get his team out of bad situations, but his mistakes often lead to those bad situations. According to Butler, Rodgers has better mobility, can make some throws better, and makes fewer mistakes.

i dont give a rats ass what butler says, he was a packer and works for the packers...


the point is Romo is probably the best QB in the game right now and his stats tell u that story...


throwing no tds and no ints tells me we have kyle orton project...


he arod grow some nuts and go win a tough game, quit being scared of makin a mistake


thats what i wanna see outta him, and dont fire back at me about favre cuz it has absolutely nothing to do with it.. ill say the same thing in 20 years about our qb then... show some fire, go win a game... take a chance, make something happen... all things i have NOT seen yet

If Eli Manning can win the Super Bowl for his team at QB then Aaron Rodgers certainly can.

Apparently if a QB uses a series of short passes he's not as good as a QB that chucks long bombs all day.

Win a game? He's done that twice already. The Dallas game he was running for his life. What do you expect him to do? Heave a prayer aimlessly into triple coverage and hope for the best? Because I've seen enough of that.

Oh and I could think of at least two QB's that are head and shoulders better than Tony Romo.

I don't want to extend arod yet, but the statement that romo is MILES ahead right now is way off..romo is slightly ahead because he has started longer, but I really don't think its by much. Saying romo's TEAM scored more TD's than arods is silly....is matt cassell better than brett favre?? CASE CLOSED!!!

Sooo...if butler, who played the game at a high level can't be trusted than who can we trust??

Way to argue a point that he's agreeing with you on.

Oh you are pissing me the fuck off. Do you realize its his third start? Seriously do you fucking realize this? Rodgers played about as well as anyone could play in that game and you're fucking crying because we don't have Favre. Don't even try to say that's not what this is about.

Tell ya what lets look at Favre's third start and see how well he did.

@ CLE L 6-17 1 1 20 33 60.6 223 6.8 0 0 2 15 80.7 6 28 4.7 0 1 0

Wow, looks a lot like of dinking and dunking to me. Damn why couldnt Favre have some fire in him and take some chances to try to win that game. Geez no TDs or no INTs, wow what an average player. See how stupid that is? Really, see how fucking ridiculous you are being? Now look at Rodgers stats vs Dallas.

DAL L 16-27 1 1 22 39 56.4 290 7.4 0 0 5 40 80.1 5 10 2.0 1 1 0

Very similar wouldn't you say? Try to have some scope with your perception on how things work. Have some fucking patience, stop bitching about not having Favre, let it go, and stop complaining all the fucking time and enjoy your team.

Trying to help you out, because you really are coming off like a little prick.

I can't wait to see the response to that ^^^.

[pbmax]

I am not even sure the Cowboys would call Romo the best QB in the game right now. And I am pretty sure Phillip Rivers' stats look even better. And Drew Brees'. And Jay Cutler. And JT O'Sullivan.

Paco, you may eventually have a point about Rodgers, no one knows yet how this will turn out. But elevating Romo to that level isn't realistic.

Ok...this thread is getting off kilter a bit. The reason I made this topic was about Arod's "potential" of signing a new deal.

My thoughts:

Right now, Romo is the better QB and a top 5 NFL QB. He's won a ton of games, had gaudy stats, and is a very good QB.

Right now, Arod has 3 starts. He's had good stats, but less than a killer instinct to make plays at times (Dallas game). Don't flame and hear me out.

Both QB's right now are prob. top 10 qb's as the NFL is very saturated. Hypothetically, Arod could just flat out bust (but the prob. of that are very slim IMO).

I think Arod will be great as I'm mildly surprised and happy he's done well so far. He hasn't come close to losing a game by himself and throws at a high % with good decisions, but his only flaw SO FAR I've seen is the inability to make a play out of nothing when there is nothing else to lose (down major points....need TD's).

I think he only gets better and Romo was a great QB without a lot of experience either who cashed in early with one of the biggest contracts in NFL history (prob. top 15 EVER regardless of position).

The question is do we lock up Arod for a VERY respectable 4 years 28 million (peanuts for starting QB's) or ride it out then have his new agent says "hey give us 12 million a year after this year or wait till Unrestricted FA." I say sign him now if they (M3, TT, etc) are as high on him as we think...and I like him. What other options do we have? Brohm won't do shit for years based on the preseason and there are NEVER any good FA QB's....and the 2009/2010 draft??? HHAAHHAHAHAA..

Bottom line to get back to the details at hand.

Lock him up now for a fair deal. If he sucks, cut him and move on as we have the cap space, but that will not happen. Arod will be at least as good as Romo based on his time served and the bit we've seen him thus far.

Do it TT!
