What is the contigency plan if RT had surgery?

Absolutely let's go grab the 36 year old who has started 4 games on the past two years. How much can we pump that cap hit up on one position?

If Romo leaves Dallas he will end up in Denver.

I read somewhere that Denver is absolutely not interested, and that Romo could consider retirement.

At this point he probably should. He's pretty beaten up.

If he can stomach it, backup QB might be the best option. He knows the Cowboys, a lot of fans like him, he'll still get paid, although maybe less, and his body can have a chance to fully recuperate. Plus, having Romo come off the bench would be huge. Best solution IMO.

Did you read that page's Dolphins summary?

"It’s becoming clear that Ryan Tannehill is not going to develop into the franchise quarterback the Dolphins wanted. While we still believe Miami will make a play for Jay Cutler if he becomes available next offseason, we’d be shocked if they did not at least entertain the idea of adding Romo for the 2017 season. Despite their struggles, the Dolphins do have a talented roster. With better quarterback play they could turn the corner and start to win some games."

1 - It's laughable that someone might look at Tannehill's health following one major injury and then think that Romo is a solution. Even in the absolute worse-case scenario where Tannehill has to have surgery Romo still isn't a solution because his physical condition is worse than Tannehill's. Romo has had numerous major injuries and surgeries. It simply doesn't make sense to say - we better move on from one QB because of injury and then select another QB who is physically worse. And that's before we remember Ryan's proven durability and toughness up to this point. Someone wants to move on from Ryan? Fine. They're going to pay the big bucks to Tony 'Please Don't Touch Him' Romo? Nah.

2 - It's becoming clear? Is it? When? Was this article written last year? Or the year before? How does Ryan's best year prove that he isn't becoming the QB the Dolphins wanted? Especially when it was a crappy injury that took him out of the back end of the season.

3 - Jay Cutler? What? Because if Tannehill isn't the franchise quarterback the Dolphins wanted, Cutler is?

4 - Turn the corner and start to win some games? You mean, like the first winning record in years, getting to the playoffs despite numerous injuries, including to Tannehill? That sort of corner?

I really wish sports "journalists" would stop writing when they haven't done their homework.

Lets be honest here, this wasn't really a "sports journalist" writing this. It's just a blog really. Just someone's opinion. To me a journalist is someone actually doing some research and connecting with real sources for information to present in their writing. This just just some guys opinion. It's not different than reading takes on a message board like this. It's just... written and formatted better.

As for the notion of the Miami Dolphins trading for Tony Romo. It's just ridiculous. The only way that should be considered is if Tannehill ends up needing surgery, and is likely to miss most of the season. Even considering Romo in that spot is pushing it. This whole idea just screams like some stirring of the pot to me. There's far more of a case against Romo here, than there would be for him. You really don't need to look beyond his age, health, and contract to determine we wouldn't trade for him. Even if the team plans on moving on from Tannehill, which I doubt they do.

Did he help Dallas the last few years?

Yes. Remember the non catch by Dez?

This was the best team they assembled. Don't think for a second it was all Dak as impressive as he was. Romo is very good. He'd be considered elite if the team won more.

Why in Gods name would we sign an over the hill, never was, has been? Romo sucks to the highest level of sucktivity, always has always will.

I could see Romo going to SF. They're in such dire straits that he could help them in the short term while they rebuild

lol...Romo is, or was, an elite QB. The guy was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Saying that, I don't want him in Miami.

If Ryan ends up having surgery Id be all for adding Romo for a 5th or something.

On its face...I wouldnt have an issue with that at all. But Romo would drastically have to alter his contract...his cap hit this year is 24 Million.

Romo healthy plays at an elite level...but injuries have just taken to much Im afraid.

For the 6-8 games he's healthy!

NOBODY is paying Romo 24M next season.

I wouldn't count on Romo to make it through the coin toss without getting injured.

This!

I venture hes going to get a nice contract though...especially a team like Denver ...a team who feels a healthy Romo gets them to the Super Bowl

Matt Moore. There was no drop off while he played.

In turnovers there were.

I'm not saying that MM played horribly, but I bet if MM had to play 8-10 games instead of 4 his play would have mirrored his career averages. And that is, a guy who fumbles way too much and who throws way too many INT's.

Indeed.
There was a drop off but Matt Moore is clearly the contingency. And I'm okay with that for now. Any team needs to be constantly on the look out for QB talent, and the Dolphins should be seeking to bring the best QB talent they can. But unless Tannehill is done for we're fine at QB for now.

It was his first four games so it's possible he would have played better. How was Tanny doing the first part of the season? I seem to remember a crap ton of INTs

Fair point... But RT's INT rate was higher than his career average (2.5 career vs 3.6 first 4 games). MM's wasn't (3.7 career vs 3.4 4 games)

MM is what he is...

Yeah, I kind of agree on that. I don't know, these guys still think they can play. Really odd situation. Not really a fan, but I kind of feel bad for him.

Whoever gets Romo will probably need someone who can pass. How good is your arm?

While I think a healthy Romo is much better that Tannehill.... He'll cost too much and there's no guarantee he'll stay healthy. Plus he's my age. He'll be 37 when the next season starts. I know QBs can play into late 30's (or more), I just don't trust his health.

this. I feel like he doesn't last 2 weeks with our line
