Romo won't be cheap, he hasn't played this season and he won't be our future. This only happens if we Keep Fox and he insists of getting a "win now" QB that Needs no development or getting coached up - the Fox way to do it.

Romo plays behind the best o-line in the game and keeps breaking bones in his back...explain to me how he won't do that in Chicago?

If Romo plays for the Bears, he could get killed..

I thought the exact same thing. We already have our Romo. I was hoping we'd, you know, IMPROVE the position. Not bring in an ancient, injury-prone, high-mileage guy.

Based on the trade price that Clayton proposed for Garropolo I would do that. I still don't understand it though. Time after time when the topic of QB availability pops up in the media, Garroppolo's name is brought up as though it is a forgone conclusion; hell, I don't even think it's a LIKELY conclusion. I've said it before, it would be stupid for NE to get rid of this kid that they have groomed given the age of Tom Brady. However, I've given up on debating sports journalists as they don't read my shit anyway. With that said, and assuming they are right, I would pull the trigger on a 2017 2nd and a conditional 2018 pick as Clayton projects. Not that I want to spend our draft picks like that, but I have always liked Jimmy and was hopeful that the Bears would take him when he came out in the draft. I know someone will bring up past New England back-ups and their lack of success, but I always hate comparisons like that. They are not machines, they are people and each one is just as different as each QB coming out in this draft.

Meh, my thoughts for what its worth, which ain't much.

Exactly my point. Same old song and dance with a QB that is older and more injured. Might as well keep rolling with Jay over fresh ink with Romo if you just want a one year caretaker.

Or sign Hoyer/Barkley for far less money than Romo.

Thing is, Romo is a much better QB.

I know many like to call him injury prone but excluding the last 2 seasons the dude has stay consistent and healthy the majority of the time.

I believe Romo could have another good 2 years left in him. We could use that time to develop our new QB while having a Pro Bowl QB playing for us.

We could have Romo, Barkley, and 2nd Round QB as our depth.

In 10 years Romo has started all 16 games only 4 times. Cutler has actually started more games than Romo. Romo has been a pretty good QB but I don't know if I'd say much better. He has been the better QB overall though. I also think he's been on some better teams than the Bears in the last 10 years as well.

The Patriots are also very high on Jacoby Brissett...so that may be why a lot of people think they'll trade Jimmy.

I don't think it would be stupid for the Patriots to trade Garropolo, it would be stupid for a team to trade for him. I almost guarantee it's going to cost more than most think to get him and they will not get a good return on investment with him. I see this as the same scenario that happened with Cassel and Flynn. Did well as back ups on good teams then went to another team for a bunch of money only to suck.

The Patriots have the system put in place to win with just about any QB. They would still have Brady and they now have Brissett. If they got rid of Garrapolo they would just draft another QB in a late round and he would probably be just as well suited to play as Garropolo. The Patriots know what they are doing, most other teams do not.

It's not even close, Romo is far superior in all ways to Cutler; he's been on some good teams, but I wouldn't say better then anything the Bears had. The OL for Dallas was far worse, up until around 2014, then anything the Bears ever had hobbled together w/Cutler. Hard to believe but it's true, the only thing that made them look decent was his ability to escape and run.
