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.

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

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.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
