Steve Young's statement about Romo is so true and I hope he heard it

Period.

He saved the 1991 season which was a carryover to the next year. If Steve played like POOP how do we even know the Cowboys make the playoffs in 1992? He helped the team get a TASTE of the postseason and from there you know the rest

No, he didn't. He played well, as a backup. Didn't even complete 50% of his passes. The team made up for his shortcomings.

He was a placeholder, nothing more.

He had zip to do with the SBs.

Ding, ding , ding! We have a winner! You heard it here first. "Only some turnovers lose games." signed anonymous, repeated by Romo backers of America.

I guess only certain turnovers cost teams games? Tell that to any head coach in the league and they will serioulsy die of laughter. The idea is to win the turnover battle..isn't it?

If the Cowboys are not 4-4 at 1am on Monday Morning, I don't want to see anymore PRAISE for Romo on this board

The turnover battle doesn't matter if a FG is made & Dez makes a fist. BTW, Romo wasn't the only player to turn over the ball last week. The one made by Felix was the worst of them all.

Wow, I thought we had a pick 6, I guess not.

Yeah, he did. Then he lead the team back & took the lead. Guess you missed that part of the game.

A pick six trumps a fumble in the middle of the field when deciding which was worse.

The defense can't do anything about a pick six.

If romo plays study and does not turn over the ball we'd be leading the division. Thank you defense.

The problem with that line of thinking is that Romo still had to lead the offense to points with an inept running game for the Cowboys to have that shot at leading the division.

The defense saved us, but it didn't put up the points that gave Dallas the lead. Romo did by driving the offense down the field to scores.

People wanting Romo to be overly cautious don't understand that Dallas can't win by just relying on a defense that doesn't score points, a return game that doesn't score points and a running game that doesn't produce consistently.

Everyone wants Romo to cut down on his mistakes, but Dallas can't afford for him to do it by relying on others to do what it takes to get this team enough points to win.

Nobody expects Romo to have a good game every week but we do expect to see no turnovers and not 5 Int's. And that's why Steve Young's statement was so true because in this league you cannot give games away which is something Romo has been doing lately. No QB in the NFL is eligible for an extension when they have the most INT's in the league.

The problem with your statement is anything Steve Young says should be disregarded.

I fumble trumps a pick 6 when the lead was taken AFTER the pick 6. Romo had already overcome the pick 6. He can't overcome Felix putting the ball on the ground on a drive where they could have retaken the lead.

Youngs statement was that Romo can't be the REASON why they lose games & he wasn't the REASON in this game. Had he thrown 4 INTs & we never lead at any point in the game, then you'd have a point. Thats why Romo can get heat for the loss to the Bears & Seahawks.

How can anyone argue the difference between a harmful turnover and one that doesn't affect a game? ALL turnovers affect a game period. Just because a team seemingly overcomes a specific turnover doesn't mean it had no effect on the outcome of a game.

The Romo love by some on this board is ridiculous. Romo is an above average QB who sometimes has great games. Romo is also careless with the ball which leads to turnovers and bad mistakes. I'm ok with the sports optimist but saying that only some turnovers matter as it pertains to Romo is seriously a stretch.

Romo's best game this year came against the Giants. Unfortunately the mistakes early in the game were to much to overcome in the second half. Is Romo responsible for all of the interceptions? Of course not. But no matter what he will be credited with part of the blame. That is just the way it is in football. The starting QB will always get credit win or lose.

He didn't overcome anything because they still LOST.

It is ridiculous, Romo is GOD in the eyes of so many idiots on this board and leads the NFL with 13 Int's
