1822013, Is it time for the Cowboys to move on from Tony Romo?
Posted by LegacyNS, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
I've seen enough football to know that QBs like that don't change. We have a young Brett Favre w/o the 3 MVPs and no chance win a ring.. Time to draft a QB Jerry..

Poll question: Is it time for the Cowboys to move on from Tony Romo?

Poll result (52 votes)
Yes (16 votes)Vote
No (Pinko's vote, NFC East Foes & Cowboys Haters) - lol (36 votes)Vote

  

1822030, I say no
Posted by Organ, Sun Oct-02-11 03:36 PM
No
He is capable of making this team wildly successful
His coaches see how good he is and don't call careful
He definitely needs to be reeled in but I still think there is chance

.500 going into the bye with 5 division games remaining
Not the end yet
1822038, I'm with you on the shitty playcalling too. Gotta put half of this on Garrett.

in the NFL. I'm not even copping pleas for dude at this
point. I'm just saying, realistically, pro-bowl/HOF/SB
QBs are a rarity in this league. Until you have a feasible
way of replacing Romo with someone better, then you're
smoking that good shit. If you've been watching the NFL
for as long as you say, it's pretty simple and logical.

it's scary out there.

Posted by rob, Sun Oct-02-11 03:50 PM
it's terrible odds.

it's ironic because you want to force a draft as bad as romo wants to force a pass to someone in double coverage.

i'm sayin....seize that opportunity like GB did when it comes. but don't worry about that shit now when we got a season to play.

Never mind the fact that the rest of the team ages as you

The logic of dropping him and developing someone new is so
horribly irrational.

1822084, I agree with this. It's not easy to find a franchise QB though
Posted by icecold21, Sun Oct-02-11 03:57 PM
or a quality starter, or what have you.

Romo is good, but he's not going to win someone a Super Bowl. So unless you're planning on winning on behind a really strong D and run game, a la the Ravens and Steelers, you gotta get a different QB. But that's easier said than done. How long did it take them to even find Romo? It's not like they can just go and get one. He might be the best option regardless of his flaws.
1822124, they definitely cant get anyone better right now.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Oct-02-11 04:13 PM
but i think a good coach can manage romo to where his weaknesses (confidence and favrian tendencies) dont harm the team.
1822129, Exactly, Garrett should be running the ball and milking clock up 27-3
Posted by Pinko_Panther, Sun Oct-02-11 04:15 PM
1822094, I can agree with this.
Posted by Dr Claw, Sun Oct-02-11 04:01 PM
I'm actually low-key a Romo defender. In 2009, when McNabb was on his way out, the O-Line was turning into shit, and it seemed like Kolb was going to be the QB of the future... I thought it was only a matter of time before Romo lead the Cowboys into the juggernaut that they were touted to be.

from the second he took over for Bledsoe I knew the Cowboys had a franchise QB, and it made me sick.

but ... the Cowboys (as an org) are making the same mistakes that are sinking the Eagles. Plus Romo's "Favrian" qualities don't help..

but I don't see the Cowboys being in a situation that would allow them to acquire someone BETTER. Unless somehow they ditch Romo and sign Vince after this season
1822108, Truly bizarre day. I'm getting support from Eagles and Giants fans...
Posted by Pinko_Panther, Sun Oct-02-11 04:06 PM
lol.. but it's true. You have to be insanely delusional
to think you can just go out and find a beast franchise
QB in this league. I still believe that at least 20 teams
out there would jump on the chance to take Romo in this
league rather than develop a new project.
1822165, Romo was the polar opposite of Bledsoe

who was basically only in there because Parcells was the coach, and if there's anything he values, is QBs from teams he's coached in the past (see: Testaverde in 2004). Bledsoe served y'all well, but he was The People's Statue, a dying breed among QBs and it was only a matter of time. In comes Romo and he looks like Favre from 1996...

I thought the end was near.
1822170, Luckily, it's only game 4 and I don't believe the sky is falling yet lol
Posted by Pinko_Panther, Sun Oct-02-11 04:30 PM
1822192, with this defense, 1-3 season and conference record
Posted by Dr Claw, Sun Oct-02-11 04:40 PM
plus an 0-1 division record doesn't make me very optimistic.

instead of being afraid of Vick coughing it up, it's the rest of the team.

even if the kicker missed 2 FGs. even with the turnovers.

you basically have to score 40 points to win. and with ^^^^ that, it's just not happening
1822089, Im watching Green Bay right now...
Posted by Dstl1, Sun Oct-02-11 03:59 PM
I look at Aaron Rodgers and I see a guy who makes all the right moves. Then I look at Tony and I see a guy with similar physical abilities, but he's not built the same mentally. The schematics are different, lol. That being said, I have always liked Tony and I still do, but I feel like if we win it big with him its because we'll be equipped to absorb his errors. I don't think it can be coached out of him. Tony is what he is a this point.
1822101, Our coach could be better when up 24 too lol
Posted by Pinko_Panther, Sun Oct-02-11 04:02 PM

doesn't do today to their QB what Garrett did

3rd qrt 27-3

Romo up to that point did all on offesne that was needed to walk out of there with a win

There is no other call but -----

Get the ball
1st down - run
2nd down - run
If there is a 3rd down, probably pass, but maybe even run
4th down - Punt and let the D that has only given up 3 pts go to work

You do this over and over again
Det makes it 27-10
Guess what Garrett --- you do it again
I mean, you do this until it is 27-17 if it even gets there

Milk the fucking clock up that much man
17-6 is different then you can get mad at coaches for playing not to lose but 27-3
C'mon man the game is pretty much done

WHY ARE WE PASSING ON 1ST AND 10?
Why is Garrett putting a gun slinger in that position?
He knows what he is by now

He goes both ways
If you have got nothing but good from the guy and it's 27-3 it's time to cruise man
Yes Romo takes stupid chances but that is him
It's in his brain
He killed Det let the guy rest and coast for the rest of the game until he is needed again

1822210, exactly. garrett gotta own some of that.

1822731, ^ the kind of biased hindsight 2-pick Tony defenders are left with ^
Posted by LegacyNS, Mon Oct-03-11 06:45 AM
Now I know you don't give Tony a pass per say but this the kind of shit people who are giving him a pass are saying so let's look @ this in context.

1> The Cowboys offense was destroying the Lions D. There was no reason to think that it wouldn't continue whether you're calling run or pass plays. The ONLY reason you see this as an issue in hindsight is because the choker choked away the game, again.

2> The Lions have an EXTREMELY explosive offense. We held them to 3 point in the 1st half but there's no reason to think we'd hold them to 3 for entire game. With Calvin Johnson out there, it only takes on big play for 7 points to be put on the board (which was on display later in the game).

3> Last week, the Lions were down 20-0 @ Minnesota @ the half and came back and won the game. Garrett was fully aware of this & thought he needed to keep the foot on the pedal. I don't disagree with him.

So yeah, we can quibble about a play call or two. I've criticized Garrett for his questionable play calling @ times just like I've criticized Romo for being a choke artist. However, regardless of the play call players have to execute the plays. You're paying Tony Romo a SHITLOAD of money to make the right play. If you're at the point where you're saying "you know what he is" & you have to call plays to protect your team from your QBs mistakes, aren't you kind of admitting you don't have the right QB?

I mean we're saying it in so many way w/o realizing that's we're saying it...

He's never winning a Super Bowl. But there's not someone better immediately available for a team with enough talent to be in a playoff race yearly.

You either have to tank, which Dallas can't do, or draft a guy and develop under Romo for a couple years. I say latter.

Clearly, in the gamble that is drafting and developing QBs, we're in a great position compared to all those teams that drafted the vast majority of the above QBs.

Outside of Manning, Rodgers, Rapelisberger and Vick, who is fucking with Romo on this list? You really want to take those odds in a draft?

But theres a few guys on that list I would take over Romo, based on the offensive weapons the cowboys have i think it would make it easy for some of those qbs. Cutty, Rivers, Staffard ( obviously) as well as the guys you mentioned, plus who knows what a guy like vince young would do with the weapons romo has. I mean we know what romo does with a good team, he blows it......

Dallas Cowboys: Tony Romo's Role in Historic Collapse Signals Time for a Change
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/875436-tony-romo-mistakes-in-historic-collapse-signal-its-time-for-change-in-big-d

By Kyle Vassalo (Featured Columnist) on October 2, 2011

Tony Romo's was able to fool the general public into thinking he may not be a choke artist, but after blowing a 27-3 lead at home, it's clear that the Cowboys can't win as long as Romo is under center.

The Cowboys can bring in elite weapons to surround Romo with, beef up the offensive line, fire the coach, stack the defense and make excuses for Romo until he retires, or move in a different direction before it's too late.

Romo's heroics with a punctured lung in Week 2 and win with a cracked rib in Week 3 had some people thinking that it was the media who had blown Romo's short comings out of proportion.

Maybe people were too overly critical of Romo over the botched hold and a few unlucky plays in crucial situations. Maybe Romo could lead Dallas to the promise land after all.

After Week 4, it's clear that Dallas isn't going anywhere as long as they keep Romo under center. His inconsistency and MIA status in the big moment will prevent Jerry Jones from adding to his Super Bowl collection.

Romo threw three picks and was an instrumental part of the Lions' epic comeback win. His stat line isn't indicative of how bad he was when it mattered most. The only way the Lions could come away with a victory was if the Cowboys handed them a victory, and Romo did everything in his power to make it happen.

The Cowboys have made significant changes, but Jones' loyalty to Romo will ultimately bar them from succeeding. Romo is 31. He's been on talented enough teams to make deep runs in the playoffs, but his lack of the "it" factor binds the entire team to failure.

The Cowboys had this one in the bag and choked. They can make all of the personnel changes they want to in order to turn the team around, but at some point they need to take a long look at their situation under center and trade Romo in for a field general they won't have to keep making excuses for.

1822650, the more i think about this
Posted by beeazy, Sun Oct-02-11 11:02 PM
the more blame I start to give garret, a good coach plays to there players and teams strength and weaknesses. I mean whats so hard about letting romo do his thing in the first half to get a lead then reining him in BIG TIME by being very picky with the pass plays your calling for him, knowing hes mistake pron in certain situations......

lets face it if were down in the 4th quarter of a game theres not many qbs id rather have to try and bring us back. At the same time if were nursing a lead romo is at the bottom of the list for guys I want THROWING the ball. But WHY does garret have him throwing up 24 or whatever it was???? Romo made the mistakes and gets the blame for sure but he is what he is..... I think we can win with him if we play right.

makes me wish we had a proven coach/leader ie cowher, chucky, dungy.
1822659, Garrett is certainly not blameless..
Posted by LegacyNS, Sun Oct-02-11 11:17 PM
However, you're paying your QB millions of dollars to execute plays. If he can't do it or you don't trust him then why is he your QB?

It's time to move on... A lot of guys are in denial but Romo is 31 years old. He's not a 1st year starter making "rookie" mistakes. He's at best Brett Favre in the 2nd half of his career after the SB ring. We've watched QBs like Rodgers & Rivers come into the league & pass him by. Younger guys like Stafford might already be on their way... It's a wrap for this dude..

You're talking about superbowls and I'm talking about
dealing with what we have. In terms of "what we have",
our current situation -- FOR BETTER OR WORSE -- is our
best shot at contending for a championship. If we get
rid of Romo, we're looking at another 5 years of
mediocrity at best UNLESS we hit double zero on the
roulette wheel and get lucky like Green Bay did with
Rodgers. So chill with the catty shit.

Do I think Romo has the ability to win a superbowl
under the right conditions? Absolutely.

Do I think the Cowboys will win one with him as our
QB? Yes, but only if we get all our pieces on offense
together -- including coaching.

Let's also not forget that Romo's asked to do EVERYTHING
in this offense. He's not Kobe Bryant but they want him
to take the last shot all the time. If we had a half
decent run game, we'd be talking differently about all
this. Shit, Aikman sure is hell wouldn't have won shit
without that monstrous line and Emmitt. That's not even
a stretch to say.

1822647, 5 Reasons Romo's Run with Cowboys is Over
Posted by LegacyNS, Sun Oct-02-11 10:59 PM
yep, keep acting like ppl aren't talking about it...

5 Reasons Romo's Run with Cowboys is Over
By David Daniels (Featured Columnist) on October 2, 2011

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/875539-tony-romo-5-reasons-romos-run-with-cowboys-is-over

If unclutch was a word, Tony Romo would be the definition.

No season is a successful season for the Dallas Cowboys unless Jerry Jones is hoisting a Lombardi Trophy at the end of the year. In 2011, Romo has made it loud and clear that the Cowboys will never win a Super Bowl with him under center.

Dallas should be 4-0 right now. Sure, Romo proved his toughness playing with a broken rib and punctured lung, but hard as it would be to negate all of the praise for such a heroic performance, No. 9 managed to do it.

This year will mark the last of the Tony Romo era in Dallas. If he’s still starting for the Cowboys next season, it would be a shocker and here’s why:


5. Turnover Prone

Tony Romo has put up big passing yards and touchdown numbers ever since he took over in Dallas as a full-time starter. Throwing for 300 yards and three touchdowns looks great on paper, but how many points the opposing offense scored off of turnovers doesn’t show up next to Romo’s name.

He threw for three interceptions against the Detroit Lions giving him five on the season through four weeks. Last season, Romo threw seven picks despite playing just six games. He also has had issues with holding on to the football and not just on field goal holds either.

Romo has fumbled the football a whopping 41 times in his career. Turnovers lead to losses. You can’t be as careless with the football as Romo is and consistently win football games.

4. Bad Timing

As soon as Tony Romo’s hot seat reaches its peak temperature, the Cowboys have plenty of replacement options. Dallas won’t be bad enough to draft Andrew Luck. Of course, I’d never count out Jerry Jones to pull off a blockbuster deal to trade up for the best quarterback prospect to enter the draft in years.

The 2011 draft class has plenty of depth at the QB position as well, though. Matt Barkley and Landry Jones are each talented enough to be selected inside the top five. Again, Dallas will most likely win too many games to finish among the worst five teams in the league.

Still, borderline first-round to second-round picks like Ryan Tannehill and Nick Foles are solid options as well.


3. Postseason Failures

When quarterbacks like Ben Roethlisberger and Mark Sanchez struggle in the regular season, at least their teams can simply shrug it off and point to the QBs’ consistent success in the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys can do no such thing.

Romo boasts just one postseason win since 2006 when he took over under center for the Cowboys. He has made three Pro Bowls during that time period; he puts up monster numbers the first 17 weeks of the year. From his 2006 bobbled hold against Seattle to failing to lead a single touchdown drive against the Vikings in 2009, though, Romo has been a flop in meaningful games.

The regular season is virtually meaningless for NFL quarterbacks.


2. Inability in Crunch Time

For the second time this season, Romo has failed to finish off what should’ve been easy wins for the Cowboys.

In Week 1, Dallas was up 24 to 17 against the New York Jets. On 3rd-and-goal from the Jets’ 2-yard-line, all the Cowboys had to do was play it safe and kick the field to take a two-score lead in the fourth quarter. Instead, Romo scrambled, fumbled and lost the football.

His interception with the game tied set the Jets up for a 27-24 victory. Against the Detroit Lions, Cowboys fans would see a reenactment from Romo.

Dallas was leading the Lions 27-3; the game was over and all the Cowboys had to do was to take care of the football. Three Tony Romo interceptions, two that were picks sixes, and two Calvin Johnson touchdowns later (Rob Ryan salute), Detroit had come back to win 34 to 30.


1. Time's Up

http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/001/373/618/127886036_display_image.jpg

The time to talk is up. The Dallas Cowboys go into nearly every season looking like paper champions. Each year though, preseason predictions are turned into postseason trash.

Tony Romo is basically the LeBron James of the NFL. He is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the league, but he lacks the killer instinct to finish games.

The question every team must ask themselves about their starting signal caller is: can we win a Super Bowl with our QB under center? When Jerry Jones asks himself and his staff that question about Tony Romo next spring, the answer will be a resounding no.

Basically Romo is just good enough to give them a low enough draft pick that they won't be able to draft a franchise QB early in the first round without lucking out like Green Bay with Rogers.

Posted by will_5198, Mon Oct-03-11 12:29 AM
Detroit's 24-point comeback was the largest blown lead in the 52-year history of the Dallas Cowboys.

this adds to Romo's masterpiece against the Jets, where he broke Dallas' 247-game undefeated streak when leading by 14 points in the fourth quarter.
1822728, Romo is not the problem, play calling and defense are.
Posted by mr_graff, Mon Oct-03-11 06:25 AM
Romo isn't a top 5 qb but you can win with him.

Jason Garrett is not the Wunderkid some folks thought he was. He may be an improvement over Wade Phillips but is that saying much? Up 27-3 it's time for the running game instead of having your injured qb slinging it.

And when you lose a 24 point lead, that's on the defense. Even with those two pick 6s you are up double digits.

Besides, haven't we already seen how Dallas looks without Romo? They don't have anyone better and probably won't be able to get one of the top qb prospects.

The D damn near pitched a shutout in the 1st half and only gave up 17 in the 2nd half.. are you fuckin kidding me? It's the Ds fault? - lol

And yes Garrett has bad judgment at times. However, he's not responsible for Romo's bad judgment. And Romo didn't look all that injured when he was throwing 3 TDs in the 1st half..

The plea coppage for Romo is reaching LeBron James levels...

Not saying Romo is as good as Manning, but I remember Manning choking hard throughout his career. Romo can be a good qb but he tries too hard. He just needs to stop listening to the media and play to the team's strengths.

Posted by bentagain, Mon Oct-03-11 09:10 AM
There are a lot of caveats for his career though

I think DAL has gotten a lot out of an undrafted rookie FA
Romo has a career 95 passer rating
Ranked #10 today in passer rating
The Cowboys let a lot of people go due to the new salary cap restricitons
The guy is playing hurt

Bottom line:

If you can't beat the Skins in a FG kicking contest and lose a 20+ lead to DET, you're team has bigger issues than QB, and short of drafting the next Cam Newton, I'm not sure how much better you can get than Romo

1822928, uh, they did beat the Skins in a FG-kicking contest though

both of the losses should have been wins. We were dominating both games and a combination of shitty coaching and poor decisions by our franchise QB gave it all away.

bottom line is Tony is our QB. He's talented as shit but fucked in the head. Some of it is who he is and some of it is what the coaching staff allows him to do. I still maintain my position that he's the best QB we could hope for anytime soon but if we win it will be in spite of him.

Cowboy fans today remind me a lot of 49er fans from 91-94. If they had their way Steve Young would have been shipped off on draft day for the rights to Heath Shuler.

Yeah it sucks as a Cowboy fan to watch games like y'all had yesterday... but finding a QB with even 85% the ability Romo has could take you decades. I think coaching is the real answer here.

This is a young as hell Cowboy team with very little playoff experience.

But still expectations in Dallas are just as high as the were in SF back then. Do you really believe that Romo wouldn't be catching just as much heat had the Cowboys made it to and lost the NFC championship the last two years? Especially if had had 4 turnovers like Young had that one year.

Posted by OldPro, Mon Oct-03-11 12:39 PM
and a bullshit penalty that took away a Rice TD the 49ers should have beaten Dallas in 92... so you're overstating a bit.

But really that's neither here nor there... you're missing the point.

Romo has been asked to carry a team to a level it's talent really doesn't warrant. He's not Brady, Manning or Rogers and he never will be. But I have a hard time accepting he's not right there with guys like Roethlisberger and Eli Manning who both have rings... they just played on better teams. I see Romo along the lines of a Drew Brees really. Before he left San Diego how many people were really calling him a super bowl level QB? He just got with the right staff and right system and it all came together. I could see the same happening with Romo easily. Hell send him on to a team like the 49ers and I bet you'd end up regretting it the rest of your life. If Harbaugh can get Alex Smith through 4 games with only 1 pick and a 98 QB rating what would he do with Romo?

Bottom line is you have a guy that's a top 10 QB and are asking him to play like a top 3 or 4.... if you replace him what are the odds you can find another guy that will ascend to a top 5 level?

The Cowboys have more problems than Tony Romo.... how about addressing those before you talk about blowing the whole thing up.

That was the question you asked correct? Drafting a young QB that most likely wouldn't be ready to play at a high level for 2-3 years (if you're lucky) isn't moving on imo.

Steve Young was under heat because of who he replaced (who proved in KC he could STILL PLAY), not because of his losing to Dallas in and of itself. I still believe with Montana we beat Dallas in '92. Probably not 93, but in 92 they didn't even realize how good they were yet.

It was a tough ass situation. The fucking Giants probably cost us two more potential championships. We'd have beaten the Bills if we had gotten past them in the 91 NFC championship game, would have been the first threepeat ever, and possibly some more. Hard to fault management for what they did, but at the same time, can't remember where your all time great QB who was still a peak performer is sat due to injury (and never gets the job back) in favor of an upstart and very very good backup as well.

I agree. its frustrating to have your QB do that, but he's so talented, it's kind of something you're stuck with. they need a coach with a stronger personality to get him right, IMO. who knows, maybe garrett is that guy after all, not like i care, dallas's struggles keep my teeth white lol.

And Romo has been far better in his first 5 years than Bradshaw was. But see the Steelers were about becoming the best team they could be instead of just expecting a QB to take them to the promise land. They did the same thing with Roethlisberger decades later and it paid big dividends.

The way to approach this is to work on improving your running game and defense so Romo isn't put in some of the positions the team keeps putting him in. No doubt he's done some dumb ass shit during his career but the solution to all of this is to look at this as a team problem and address it as such.

Posted by Organ, Mon Oct-03-11 04:43 PM
When Romo and the offense does enough to get a lead/win he needs to change the gameplan and get more conservative

Not saying he needs to play not to lose but this is ridiculous
The defense has proven that they can stop teams
Garrett is psyching himself out/outcoaching himself

Teams that are losing by a good amount in the 2nd half may as well just play coverage and not even acknowledge the run because they know eventually that Garrett is going to get cute and pass when he shouldn't
Just keep disguising coverage because sooner or later, with the lead, Garrett will have Romo chuck it up there on 2nd and 3 with the clock running

Chiefs

The rest of the league either has a better QB, recently drafted a QB they're moving forward with, or just invested a ton of money/trade-value in a QB so won't wanna admit they fucked up yet (i.e. Arizona, Buffalo & possibly Oakland).

Basically, there's not much market for Romo right now, I'm pretty sure he's got a trade-kicker in his deal too.

He ain't going anywhere (both in the roster & postseason sense).

Don't try to act like QBs don't get the credit when the team carries them. Shit look at Tebow - lol.

QBs are LEADERS. They fall on the grenade. That's how it is man.. Brady was talking about how he was getting yelled @ by the OC & how he fucked up yesterday even though they won. That team ain't SHIT w/o Tom Brady but that doesn't change the fact that a leader has to take the hits as well as get the love when shit goes right..

That Vick played better last year than McNabb had in the seven years prior while we won the division?

Or the fact that we should have franchised him rather than counted on a guy Iverson's size playing as a running QB long-term?

This team's got a lot of problems, jettisoning Donovan was certainly not one of them.

The bottom line is I spent about the same amount of years copping pleas for McNabb & denying what became increasingly more obvious: he wasn't gonna get it done here or anywhere.

While I still think the Cowboys' main issue is an owner who thinks he's a football guy, your QB is kinda fool's gold anyway.

Posted by Organ, Mon Dec-12-11 08:01 PM
I'm not going at you or anyone specifically, just stating things
I get where you are coming from

Eli did do what he needed to win, but the end result should have been him making a game losing mistake

That pick to Lee and the score after should have sealed the game
That should have been it
He lost (I know he didn't, but any other team other than pathetic Cowboys he lost)

Romo didn't throw the pick
He took advantage of the one damn thing the D did do right and gave a 12 pt cushion

A lot of games that Romo is in and loses I usually find myself saying "It shouldn't have come to that"

It's like a boxer being up like 11 rounds
He didn't lose 1 round
The crowd knows it, the other guy's corner knows it
All of the sudden, he gets knocked out in the 12th under the advice of his corner telling him that he is losing and he needs to go for broke and land a flash knockout
I swear, our losses ARE THAT BAD
THEY ARE THAT STUPID AND BAD
I even know the analogy is the most stupid and far fetched thing ever, but, it REALLY IS THAT STUPID AND BAD

Just look this year
27 - 3
We get the ball punt, stop Det they punt
Around the 10 min mark
And we pass on 1st and 10
Almost every possession for the rest of the game Garrett made bad calls

Yeah, Romo lost the game, but he won that game earlier
It was over
Why?

He won that Giants game
He won it

It's so ridiculous
He got in position to win the Zona game
Garrett calls timeout

On the road we could have beat NE
I was at that game (which doesn't mean shit just saying I was there and got to witness the ridiculousness)
We can put them away Garrett runs 3 straight times

We should be yelling at Garrett man
Spread shotguns on 3rd and 1 when the running game avg like 6ypc
This is so dumb
I can't get mad at Romo this year

True but there's 2 ways to look at this. You could say Eli overcame what should have been a game ending INT AND HIS DEFENSE to make a comeback. That further illustrates the point of what it means to be a winning QB. You have to make the plays or it doesn't happen.

He didn't make his usually soul crushing mistake but he also didn't make the necessary play in the clutch...

Oh Garrett fucked up against Zona.. Personally that the biggest fuck up this season. That's just retarted.. but the losses go like this..

Romo (NYJ,DET,NE 1/2)
Garrett (NE 1/2, ARZ)
D(Eagles,Giants)

There's plenty of blame to go around but I'm not looking @ Romo from last night or just this season. I'm looking at his entire tenure.

Posted by Pinko_Panther, Mon Dec-12-11 07:55 PM
Anyone who doesn't understand how hard it is to come
by Romo's level of talent at QB lacks some serious brain
cells when it comes to football. You don't just ditch
the guy who's saved your franchise from a ten year funk
and HOPE/PRAY the next Staubach-Brady-Montana will just
strut into town and replace him. It's fucking delusional
and demonstrates a clear lack of understanding regarding
how football and the NFL works.

It's even more disturbing to think we should WASTE a first
round draft pick on the QB position when we are (a) seriously
bleeding in critical spots on defense and (b) have a cultural
and organizational problems on this ENTIRE team that keeps
us from taking the next step.

I think it's very important to note that over the last 2
years, the vast majority of games the Cowboys have played
have been won or lost by less than a TD. This has very
little to do with who is throwing the ball and a ton to
do with game planning, time management, defense making
plays, and aggression in play calling. Yes, elite QBs win
close games (they often lose too) but I'd be hard pressed
to find an elite QB that has been put in the situations that
Tony had last night nearly as often.

Does he deserve less blame than anyone else? Of Course...
Did he ball his ass off for the most part? Yes.

However, IN THE CLUTCH he missed the game clinching throw.. That's not blameless.. that's a pattern. And like I said, why are we acting like Romo had to overcome a shitty defensive performance like the Giants pitched a shutout? WTF do they think Eli was doing? He watched his D get torched on back-to-back possessions by Laurent Robinson & Dez. A 22-20 Giants lead turned into a 34-22 deficit. Yet, Eli overcame it.

And more to the point why are folx acting like this is JUST about the Giants game last night? If Romo played like that all the time no one would be saying shit about him.

That game wasn't simply about Romo but then again my criticism isn't simply about last night game which Romo was the least at fault. So 2 things:

One take away from last night is that BOTH QBS were let down by their defenses. One guy had a chance to win the game & got it done. One guy had a chance to win the game and missed a routine throw. I don't know how you guys can't see that.

Also, Romo over his CAREER hasn't been clutch & doesn't win games in DEC.. Are there other factors? Of course but the QB is the leader. Now, I'll say this. If for 4-5 years Romo had been playing like he did last night we were still losing we'd be having a much different conversation but we ALL know that's not the case..

I think the throw was on enough for a focused Miles Austin to
both not lose sight of the ball and put one more step in his
stride to catch that ball. I don't think the throw was as off
target as you think. Watch it again.
1871390, Pink, that missed play to Miles IS the difference between
Posted by LegacyNS, Mon Dec-12-11 08:44 PM
winning Tthe division & sitting home in JAN. It's the difference between winning a playoff game & losing a playoff game. It's the difference between winning a SB & losing a SB.

(And yes I'm well aware of everything that happened but I'm talking about QB play).

That's the entire point. Winning QBs MAKE THOSE PLAYS. The margin between winning QBs and losing QBs especially when you have Romo's talent is miniscule. It's those one or two key plays that make ALL the difference in the world.

Think about Eli's scramble in the SB vs the Pats which leads to a huge reception & eventually the game winning TD. Think about Neil O'Donnells 2 bad throws vs us in the 1995 SB....That's it. The margin of error is small. You don't have to be perfect but you gotta be better than the other guy & that other guys COULD be Brees, Rodgers, etc.

2 things:
A) if dude doesn't hold on to the ball on his helmet and
drops it like most receivers would, do we talk about Eli as "great"
still? I don't think so. He had some luck/help.

B)That same year, in the playoff Tony makes a huge play to Patrick Crayton that would have probably put the game away for us. What
happened? Crayton, wide open, drops what would have been an open
field run straight to the endzone. As a result, Romo is cast as
a "choker" and Eli is discussed as an all-time great.

If Crayton makes that catch, the conversation about these 2 QBs
could be exactly the opposite of what we're hearing now. Eli
could be the choker, and Romo would be the guy who overcame
adversity. Point is, winning QBs are not only great but they
often have A LOT of luck and help on their side.

PS. For every better QB you mention, can you at least admit they
ALL have had better coaching that Romo? Like, IN EVERY CASE.

Romo played his ass off in this big playoff game. There
is also a play that game where Romo delivers an easy
game winner to Crayton in the endzone and Crayton just
stops short and lets the ball sail.
1871510, Oh I'm not saying Garrett is blameless..
Posted by LegacyNS, Tue Dec-13-11 04:01 AM
I upped this post with a comment about Garrett not Romo.. And I clearly said of all the losses, the Garrett loss was by far the worst. At least Romo is out there playing & trying to make plays. You can't have an error like Garrett did vs Arizona from the sidelines. You just can't. Then Garrett gives Coughlin the blueprint on how to freeze out kicker.

When I'm talking about Romo I'm talking about what HE can control. He could have won that game yesterday & he missed the one play to seal the deal. He made that play vs San Fran earlier this season. However, as I was saying then it's great but I need to see it in WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.

Season on the line. Division on the line. He didn't make the play.

Welp, here we are again. Late in the season with our good buddy Tony who has a chance to exercise his demons.. (not exorcise, exercise... don't make we slap you on the rest... )

Now, for the record Romo has been pretty damn good in December this year but we have a 1-2 record to show for it..

72/103 69.9% 869 yds, 9 TDs(1 Rushing), 0 INTs, 1 FumL....

Much like Deion, I've been a very harsh critic of Romo because I understand what type of QB play is required to win a Superbowl. Well, here's Romo's chance to make his mark..

Win vs Philly, Win @NYG, win the division, get to at least the NFC title game... If he does that I'm all in. I wearing a Romo jersey..

Now is the D gonna be perfect? No. Garrett? No. Special Team? No. Sometimes you have to overcome *some* of those things. Hell, Romo doesn't even have to be perfect if he doesn't a Eli vs us a few or so ago.

So let's see what happens..

I didn't say it didn't count. He's played well so far this month. I just said we have a 1-2 record to show for it. That's not his fault..

However, let's keep real.. It's not like Romo doesn't have some catching up to do since he was the main reason we lost to NYJ, DET and NE..

My only point was if we win these last 2 games none of it will matter. If we lose people will keep talking about late season flops again.

Posted by Pinko_Panther, Thu Dec-22-11 03:04 AM
...Tony has had 2 choke jobs vs NYJ and Det, but let's
be real here. He's had zero help from the D and there
isn't a superbowl championship caliber QB that would
have had a superbowl by now with this defense.

By the way, how has NE his fault? That was Garrett's
conservative playcalling at the end that cost us that game.
Also, the defense not making one single stop on the
final drive. You're really reaching on Tony, man. Stop
buying into the soap-opera hype and recognize that this
is a team game.
1878426, that's fine but name one elite QB who hasn't bailed out his team?
Posted by LegacyNS, Thu Dec-22-11 08:25 AM
And I'm not talking about in Sept.. I'm talking Dec and Jan. Romo had a chance to do that vs NYG but he missed a key throw. However, thanks to the Giants shitting the bed he's got a 2nd chance..

What I'm talking about is Romo winning a game or two when it matters most. I'm not saying he has to throw for 500 yds & 6 TDs.. It could be as simple as what Eli did to us late in the 4th qtr. Just put together a drive or two to win games against good competition late in the season. At some point, your QB has to do that.



And come on, we both know Garrett's play calling vs NE was because he was questioning Romo who has blown the NYJ & DET game. Garrett had every right to be cautious with Romo at that point.

Posted by Pinko_Panther, Thu Dec-22-11 05:29 PM
In the playoffs, vs the Giants, Romo made plays to
bail his team out and was rewarded by Patrick Crayton
dropping a potential game winner. Later that same
game, Romo found Crayton in the endzone, and Crayton
slowed down while the ball was in the air, causing
an incomplete pass. So, yes, he has made plays in Dec
and Jan. Also, don't forget about the year we beat
Philly in the first round. We lost to Minny, but
Tony made plays all December and the first 2 weeks
of January.

Romo has been lights out that past couple of months... but he did contribute HEAVILY to THREE LOSSES...and we wouldnt be in this position had one of those games been a victory....the real problem here is..aside from DeMarcus Ware, this defensive team has NO heart....no killer instinct....none of that shit...i mean if youre up 2 scores and the other team is prolly gonna get the ball 2 more times...you NEED to make one of those possessions a 3 and out...or at the least give up one 1st down and clamp down...these niggas CANT STOP NOBODY WHEN THE CHIPS ARE ON THE LINE..NOBODY!!!...so while its not all Romos fault...he definitely going to get some of the blame if they fail in these last 2 weeks...bcz we really shouldnt be in this position...
1879148, lol - I mean I clearly said he's been ballin the past few weeks
Posted by LegacyNS, Fri Dec-23-11 08:35 AM
but none of that matters to the rest of the crew.. I was just making 2 points..

1> Romo was in a bit of a deficit because he lost a few games early.
2> Even though our D shit the bed vs the Giants, Eli was in the same situation & came thru in spite of it. Romo had a chance to close the game but missed a throw..

Either way, if he leads us to 2 wins & the division title I'll definitely give him props. If he leads us on a deep playoff run I'll shower him with praise.

Posted by Tiger Woods, Wed Oct-03-12 10:20 AM
This is because I feel his problems are now so deeply rooted that they cannot be fixed and these problems could have been so easily prevented; mostly, another year with Parcells would have surely made him elite.

Now he's veering off the "flawed but undisputed playmaker" course into the oh-so dangerous "traditional gunslinger" territory, and he's doing it with guys who don't know the playbook (Dez), seem disinterested at times (Miles), are hobbled and past their prime (Witten), or just in over their head altogether (Garrett, most importantly.)

Romo -MINIMUM- should've been what Eli is. In fact, Eli is an example Romo in the best case scenario, that being a mobile but raw QB surrounded by stellar talent that's invested and smart and lead by a coach who knows what the fuck the NFL is all about.

Romo is probably about done. But I still maintain that so few of his shortcomings were/are his fault.

We're a laughing stock. The rest of the NFC East is praying that we don't move on from Romo. Our fans have become a bunch of excuse makers for this choke artist. We'd rather be 8-8 every year than go out there & find a QB that gives us a chance to win SBs.

Enough of that bull$hit. I lived thru the Danny White era and guess what? No one remembers any of that $hit because he didn't win, period.


We've lost to EACH TEAM IN THE NFC EAST at the end of the year w/ a chance to make the playoffs. I mean, we've been literally passed around the division like groupie. Pathetic..

And this year we lost to a ROOKIE QB on one wheel who's on his way to surpassing Romo in the division.

Getting rid of romo does nothing unless you bringing in tom brady..and I'm not sure he could fk with this O line
2100941, but none of that had anything to do w/ that game ending pick LA..
Posted by LegacyNS, Mon Dec-31-12 11:31 AM
The defense was being held together with stitches. The OL wasn't perfect but they gave Romo time on most dropbacks. He was only sacked 2 times. RBs averaged 5ypc. Garrett was horrific in dealing with the blitz. With all of that being the case, Romo was handed the ball 21-18 with 4 minutes to go. He blew it, period.

2100962, I'm amazed at the number of excuses made for Romo
Posted by The Real, Mon Dec-31-12 11:50 AM
Even by the organization. They seem to walk on eggshells and don't want to upset him. They are afraid to challenge him by bringing in another QB to push him.

Nothing seems to ever be his fault. I don't get it.

2101141, he blew it..i agree...but until i see someone better available
Posted by LAbeathustla, Mon Dec-31-12 04:41 PM
i'm going to have to stick with him...cut roo then what? finish last and get a qb in the 1st round? trade romo for whom?

i'm listening...


fkn garrett still does not know how to consistently call a game offensively...he ran demarco one time on that 1st drive..and then pass pass passss pick.... when he runs demarco consistently..good things happen..period...he didnt do that until the 2nd half...
2101048, 6 of the 12 playoff teams have QBs w/ 2 yr or less in the league..

Yep, let's just keep on rolling w/ good ole Tony 3 pick..

2101078, dude looked real Jay Cutlerish during the game
Posted by southphillyman, Mon Dec-31-12 02:58 PM
constantly bitching at receivers and even coaches on the sidelines
all the while throwing picks
lol
he still won't be as bad as nick foles next season
but the cowboys aren't doing shit with him. AND he might get locked up long term, shits hilarious
2101136, I'm giving him one more year. I'll concede that last night was 100% on him.
Posted by Pinko_Panther, Mon Dec-31-12 04:33 PM
I'm not a hoe-ass sports fan. Yes, Tony blew last night's game.
I won't deny that. Was he without Miles Austin AND Dez Bryant,
in the 4th quarter? Yep. Should he have thrown that ball to
Demarco? Hell no. Did we have a great chance of a game winning
drive with Dwayne Harris (who is ballin in his role, btw) as his
#1 receiver? I'm not convinced they had much of a shot on that
last drive, regardless of the pick. Not making excuses for Tony
on this one, I just don't think the offense would have had it
anyway.

So, I'm just asking for 1 more year. One more year to see this
O-line improve and for Dez to get his finger surgery so that he
can start the year as strong as he finished this current one. I
think coming in with a fresh D-Ware, Sean Lee, Barry Church, Jay
Ratliff (maybe?), and Bruce Carter, this is defense has the
potential to be top 5 in the league. 8-8 two years in a row, this
team has been very average. But I also think they are on the
cusp of being great.

I'm not saying Romo didn't fuck up LAST GAME, that was on him 100%.
But, I do think we have a shot at building a 10-6 or better team
this off-season with the current QB that we have.

PS. I don't need to have to remind you that this is the same QB that
was asked to win 8 games with a deficit going into the 4th. Before
you say "all QBs are expected to do that", keep in mind that, in all of NFL history, only a handful of teams have had to come back this many times in one season. The commentators even talked about it last
night.
2101165, He's got one more year on his contract
Posted by luvlee2003, Mon Dec-31-12 05:10 PM
but i'm torn on what to do with him.

I keep wanting to liken him to Dirk and the Mavs before the ring. He was a statistically dope "couldn't get over the hump" guy too until they got the right rollplayers and coach around him. But Dirk always did his part at the end of the day. Tony often gets us games that we shouldn't win, but he's 1 and 6 in games that we HAVE to win.

Nate Newton always talks about the playoffs being about playing perfect football. Even if we were able to squeak into the playoffs how on earth would we be able to play perfect, consistent football with Romo and this team?

It's gotta be this combination of him and Garrett that's the issue, right? Thats been his only offensive coach since he's been here. Maybe those two just inherently aren't a good match for each other.

We've got all these emerging pieces (Dez, DeMarco, Lee, Carter, Claiborne) but if it ain't congealing properly that's on the coaches right? I mean, Sean Lee was balling out and we still got stomped by Seattle and Chicago early in the year. We still had the mismanagement that was the Baltimore debacle.

Or is the system inherently flawed because of Jerry? These single digit win seasons are killing me. And the fact that its acceptable for Jerry year after year is also frustrating.

2101170, The offensive coaching staff seems to lack aggression early on...
Posted by Pinko_Panther, Mon Dec-31-12 05:18 PM
ie. punting rather than giving Bailey a shot at kicking a 52
yarder before half yesterday.

They tend to call a safe game until they are down and then they
force themselves to have to play aggressive to either stay in the
game or come back and win. You put any QB in that situation over
and over and over again, he's going to force the situation and
that causes a lot of mistakes. I'd like to see this team take a
more aggressive game plan early in games and just let Demarco
run it out with a lead for once.
2101253, Oh, he's gonna get one more year..
Posted by LegacyNS, Mon Dec-31-12 09:24 PM
I just think it will end up as fruitless as the previous 7. I'm just asking for Jerry to draft a QB now instead of deciding Romo isn't the guy 1 or 2 years from now if it comes to that.

However, the bottom line is this. Do you deep down in your heart *TRUST* Tony Romo in big moments? I just don't. He's 1-6 in win or go home situations.

Like I said before, we're having a hard time making the playoffs less known getting in with a 1st round bye. So Romo would have to play well enough to beat 4 str8 playoff teams (1 or 2 on the road) to win a SB. Even if everything else is fixed (OL, D, coaching, etc) do you trust that Romo can do it w/o fucking it up? I'm not asking you if he has the talent to do it. He does. I'm asking do you trust him not to choke?

I've gave up on that 3 years ago. If he proves me wrong I'll be the 1st to give him props & update my sig..

2112922, So... in the past 2 years...
Posted by LegacyNS, Wed Jan-16-13 03:51 PM
5 teams have found starters..

http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?type=position

2012
-----
Luck
RG3
Wilson

2011
-----
Netwon
Kaepernick

We could have only gone after Luck, RG3 or Cam if we tanked but Wilson & Kaepernick were out there.. The idea that we have NO options but Romo isn't true. In fact SF had a solid QB but decided to draft Kaepernick anyway. Seattle paid big money for Matt Flynn and still drafted Wilson. Would it hurt to *draft* a QB.. just sayin...
