CarryTheRock Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 It’s a little known fact to those outside the listening range of the airwaves of The Score 670 in Chicago that there was a daily push prior to the 2003 NFL Draft for the Chicago Bears to draft Tony Romo. In those days I spent most of my work day driving around chasing kids on probation. In these pre-Sirius Radio days I listened to The Score daily. During the months leading up to the 2003 draft, Doug Buffone, former Bears linebacker and one of my personal favorite Score personalities, made a daily push for the Bears to draft, “That Romo kid from Eastern Illinois” on a daily basis. He also discussed how they should have taken him after the draft had taken place. The rest... I know that systems and talent vary how people would do on different teams but how would thse teams be sitting now had this happened?

coachharry Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 With Dallas Romo was groomed over a long period of time, instead of being thrown to the wolves. Would they have done the same in Chicago? Or did Romo even need the time on the bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Sean Payton was an alum and heard about him from other alums. He could have sat on the practice squad a few years. Sure it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The Bears would have found a way to F it up. Enough said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Bigger question is where he would be if Quincy Carter hadn't been cut from the team because of drugs in the 2004 preseason. With the team already having Testeverde and Henson it was likely they would have released Romo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The Bears would have found a way to F it up. Enough said. A quick way to start f'ing things up would be to let sports radio hosts influence your personnel moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
