I didn't answer you or address your comments because you wanted to get personal, which is why you felt the need to call my profession into question.

It revealed how desperate and hurt you are because now you're lashing out in a personal way.

That's how off your logic is. You can't even properly evaluate why people may not respond to you and your crazy, meaningless challenges.

[View Full Quote]Oh, and the reason why people "mock" you is because you started it first. You started calling people names. You got personal because someone criticized Tony Romo. It appears you can dish it out but you can't take it.

And because I can take your insults and make fun of you and myself, that bbbbuuurrrnnnns you, which is why you continue to lobe sophomoric insults.

Be that as it may, you have become the brunt of jokes because your logic is skewed.

It's one thing to have an opinion. It's another to be so blatantly wrong on an issue that it becomes laughable when you can't see it even though others can.

A 2nd and 5 interception is as good as a punt. Even you don't believe that, but because your pride and ego is at stake, you stubbornly hold on to a position that is so ridiculous, one can only laugh at you for holding it.

I started nothing.

It's quite laughable and ironic that you can claim that I started with the name calling, when you and your ilk have been name calling the person that this entire thread is about a "choke artist".

When I put up a bet that put the burden on me, none of you and your ilk had the balls to take it because even you guys don't believe Romo is a "choke artist."

Irony isn't it?

Because every single one of you knows that there is more of a team problem than there ever was a Romo problem. Romo has his issues but he's hardly the main one.

And I never claimed 2nd and 5 was as "good as punt." I said it "served effectively" like a punt in the sense that it was long pass that was intercepted but pinned the 'Skins back in their own territory. It's you who started twisting claims to make them into laughable jokes because you're an arrogant pissant.

As long as Romo is QB for the Cowboys, he's my QB, and I'll support him until he succeeds or fails. No one knows the future, but I'm not going to bash the guy incessantly on a Cowboys forum of all places when he gets enough of that trash everywhere else. The guy has done enough to earn my support over the years and one mistake in a season that had an extremely high probability of going nowhere with the state of the team as it is will never change that. Winning a SB is not easy. Winning it as the Dallas QB is even more difficult. Only two have done it and they are HOFs and had better teams and coaching.

After the latest down moment in Romo's inconsistent career, I think it's time for Dallas to move on; it's time for the Cowboys to cut ties with Romo.

Romo's one of those guys who seems to do really well when it doesn't count, but when it counts, he doesn't get the job done. It's not because he's not smart; it's not because he's not athletic; it's not because he doesn't have ability. He just doesn't do what he needs to, and I think his performance Sunday was a prime example of that.

First, I just don't think he was sharp; he was throwing the ball behind people and so forth. On that big fourth-quarter interception, he was just fooled; Rob Jackson made a good play for the Redskins, but Romo was just fooled.

[View Full Quote]He also seemed like he was on edge all night. After his first interception, on a ball intended for Kevin Ogletree, the television cameras captured a contentious back-and-forth between the quarterback and his receiver. That would seem to indicate that Romo was pressing, that he almost didn't want to admit that the interception was his fault, even though he did throw behind the guy.

I don't think there's any lack of toughness on this guy's part. I think he's got the ability. Romo can win, but being able to win and actually winning are two different things. There's just something lacking in his performance.

Is this your genius idea of how to fix this team next year?

What do you envision our record next year without Romo and who will it be that will be making clutch plays next year and ride us into the playoffs?

Holy crap, is he still at it?
God bless ya tyke1doe for hanging in there.
He isn't EVER going to get it though.

First, I didn't call Romo a "choke artist."

Second, so what if people called Romo a "choke artist"? Romo is the quarterback for our favorite team. If he doesn't perform in a way that we expect, of course, people have a right to criticize his performance.
Are you Romo's wife? His brother? His father?

What gives you the right to personalize comments about him?

When I put up a bet that put the burden on me, none of you and your ilk had the balls to take it because even you guys don't believe Romo is a "choke artist."

We DON'T CARE about your silly bet. You care about that. You're just upset that we don't accept your petty little challenge. And because we don't you throw a hissy fit.

"RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!!!"

Irony isn't it?

Do you even know how to appropriately use the term "irony"?

Because every single one of you knows that there is more of a team problem than there ever was a Romo problem. Romo has his issues but he's hardly the main one.

It's amazing that you can walk and chew gum at the same time. Last time I checked, this thread wasn't titled "Other than Romo, what else do the Cowboys need to change." This thread is about Romo. So, of course, we're going to talk about Romo's issues. Even you acknowledge that he has issues.

And I never claimed 2nd and 5 was as "good as punt." I said it "served effectively" like a punt in the sense that it was long pass that was intercepted but pinned the 'Skins back in their own territory. It's you who started twisting claims to make them into laughable jokes because you're an arrogant pissant.

Talk about semantical twisting.

Everytime you respond, you just dig yourself into a deeper hole of illogic.

Do you know what effectively means?

It is the adverbial form of the word effective.

If something produces a desired or intended result, then that something is good. That's essentially what effectively means.

So when you offer that you never said "as good as a punt," you may not have used the word "good". But anyone with a proper command and understanding of the English language would interpret you to mean that the interception was a good one because it effectively served as a punt.

Just because you don't have command of the English language doesn't mean others share in your ignorance.

As for me being an arrogant pissant, I take that as a compliment coming from you. It's pretty obvious you bit off more than you could chew. You thought I was some ignorant poster who was supposed to cower under your insults and someone who didn't possess the intelligene to slice, dice, dissect and dismantle your twisted logic.

From the start, you got your behind on your shoulders trying to defend Romo like he was your girlfriend or someone close to your immediate family. You tried to bully your way through this thread with insulting words, as if they strengthened your argument.

And now that I've thoroughly exposed you and your inability to string together a rational conversation - much less a rational thought - you resort to the only thing you have left in your arsenal and that's insults.

And even they are so paltry and sophomoric in nature, I feel as if I'm on a kindergarten playground being insulted by a 6-year-old calling me "Do-do head."

At least if you're going to insult me, consult an unabridged dictionary. I deserve deeper, richer insults for the time I've invested in this debate.

[SultanOfSix]

First, I didn't call Romo a "choke artist."

Oh, I'm sorry, you didn't use the exact phrase. My bad. It doesn't matter. That is what you and your ilk meant. Like I said, complete and utter sophist.

And a chicken too.

And please don't respond to me with your obfuscating verbiage. I don't have years of practice writing BS like many reporters do.

Now, do you think Brandt has a right to have that opinion? Do you think he has seen anyone WORK with QB's in the past?

hahaha, the homers are so confused. They talk about how great Romo is, then when you say that Garrett works great with QBs, and you look at that stats, it proves Brandt right.

So in one breath, they say, Romo's great. How did he get great? Someone had to work with him, and the only one that was here was Garrett.

But at the end of the day, not directed at you but the other homers out there who are just simply in love with Tony. Who cares about what Gil said about working with QBs?

The point is, he's a choker, a proven choker, and he needs to go. Focus on that.

And Gil Brandt is a rock upon which this franchise was built. Dissing his knowledge and insight would be typical of a fan who started following the team after 1996.

I agree with Gil's assessment. The problem with keeping Romo another year means re-signing and committing cap suicide if this doesn't work.

I can assure you the rest of the NFL wants us to keep him so we can stay in reverse. That right there is enough reason in my football logic to let him go.

Tony Romo has become a cross too heavy to bare.

Let another team try to put up with the negative pressure he has inflicted on this franchise.

Time to move on.

I agree. But it seems like JJ has fallen in love with Romo and just can't see reality. He seems hell bent on staying with him for the next few years.

Only two possible outcomes.




Some agree with him.

His possible outcome might turn out to be right. Wow!

With 30 teams he has a better chance of being right. Such a silly exchange here.

Ive noticed on most of the Interceptions, Romo is barking at his receivers. Fine. Whatever.

But, who barks at Romo?

Is there anyone making him accountable?

It does matter. Remember context, something you said you were interested in? You said I and my ilk were name calling, or do you remember what you wrote?

Describing Romo's play and saying he didn't take advantage of the opportunities only he could make IS NOT THE SAME as name calling.

Funny you would describe accuracy in communication obsfuscating verbiage. But some of us pride ourselves in being precise with language.
