Are you saying that the Chiefs are more likely to not re-sign Berry if they sign Romo?

Sorry, yes.  Why in the bloody blue hell would Eric Berry want to sign LONG TERM if his old, decrepit, expensive ass is their answer?

If anything, this means they'll want to retain an AllPro caliber player on their defense to make up for the offense in transition mode.

so not sure how this makes Mr Berry more inclined to sign with us of all teams

We have a LONG TERM answer at the most important position who just so happens to be an old frienemy.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.  Fwiw, I think Romo would be an improvement, albeit as you said, an expensive and injury prone one.  

 

I got to admit though, it would be interesting to see Romo and KC defeat Dallas next year.  I would have some fun with Cowboy fans.  :)

As long as Berry is in Black and Blue I hope they do!

If they move on from Smith, then some team that is just a decent QB away from contending is going to smartly grab him up. Smith isn't one of the elites, but he is a steady QB with a decent arm, good accuracy and surprising mobility.

If he were to hit the open market, he'd be besieged by offers from Cleveland, Jacksonville, Houston, the Jets, the Rams and maybe even his old team San Francisco. He's the kind of QB that a head coach can rely on to run the game and follow the plan, plus he's one of the smartest QBs in the league and can learn a playbook, even a difficult one, quickly. He's not a franchise QB but he is the kind who can keep a head coach's job safe until that franchise guy is landed.

Now if somehow he made it through all of that and Derek Anderson decided to call it a career, I'd throw an offer his way if I were DG to come and be Cam's back up.

Because he's no good.

I was shocked to see how comparable Smith was to some of the other top QBs. Regardless of his shortcoming, Smith is a winner. I believe he's in the top five in wins over the last few years. I do see the big issue of the giant question- "Can he win the Superbowl?".... And aware of arm strength being very low. Still he doesn't have a bad TD:turnover ratio and he's a proven winner. Him in Andy's system is perfect. Something is up, if Andy doesn't want him.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
