You know me – Mr. Fantasy. You don’t get to Draft Day without checking in right here with the guru.
And today your lesson is what not to do: Draft Tony Romo.
Not this year. Not unless you get him late. Normally Romo’s the perfect fantasy quarterback- because he’s always got weapons, Dallas is always behind and you couldn’t care less if they lose the game.
But you do care if Romo can’t get it to Dez. And apparently he can’t throw it deep. Even though his back surgery was 9 months ago, he apparently still can’t throw the 9 route. Not my take. Not message board fodder. Straight fire from his quarterback coach. Wade Wilson says Romo’s passing tree has some broken branches. “It’s been OK. I think the deeper the ball goes down the field, it’s a little bit more inconsistent. It’s just the nine routes and the deep posts. I think it’s all due to his back.”
That sound you hear is Romo freefalling down your draft board and dragging Dez and J-Witt with him. It’s just the nine-routes and deep posts?? Dude- with that Cowboys D. Those are the only routes Romo will be throwing! How does he look on the Hail Mary jump ball route, Wade- gonna need that one too. Dez is awesome after the catch… But he’s gotta catch it more than 4 yards down the field.
Memo to the Mockers: take Andy Luck or Colin Kap way before a 34-year old with a bad back. The Dallas Cowboys are stuck with him… The Romosapiens, Romocop and Romo Arigato Mr. Roboto don’t have to be.
