DMN:Kurt Warner-Cowboys must continue to build around 'extremely talented' Tony Romo - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Gemini Dolly · 02-02-2013

Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner joined New School on KRLD-FM 105.3. Here are some highlights.

On Tony Romo:
“I love Tony Romo. When you look at the National Football League, a lot of times we want to compare everybody to Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and rightfully so because they’re the best in the business. But when I look at the quarterback position, I think you have to look at the entire league and put Tony Romo up against the rest of the league. Maybe outside of those four or five great quarterbacks because they’ve won championships or whatever and to me he's way above most guys starting in this league. What he brings to the table is his skill set, his competitiveness, and you saw it. Even down the stretch this past year, he played the position as well as anybody during that stretch. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to get over that hump or this team, I should say, hasn’t been able to get over the hump of winning in the playoffs and making a run, but I think he’s one of those unique talents at the position and you have to continue to build around him because you can’t win anything in the National Football League by yourself. The great quarterbacks always have great teams around them that help them win. I think they have to continue to build because Tony is an extreme talent. He’s a guy that knows how to win, he’s competitive and he’s a guy you want behind the center.”

Very good read. Very fair.

what? warner was down on romo for most of the year...

glad he's changed his tune, though.

after all, romo's touchdown ratio is higher than warner's was and his interception ratio is lower than warner's was.

he also 5 more game-winning drives and TWICE as many 4th-quarter comebacks as warner had.

If championships are our goal, why shouldn't we compare him to the qbs that win championships?

CyberB0b · 02-02-2013

This one was entirely on Romo. 3 minutes left, down by 3, with the ball and he throws a pick on a dumpoff pass. He choked. With that said, he is immensely better than most QBs in the league.

I never knew he was a Cowboy fan until today.

Nav22 · 02-02-2013

Troy Aikman
Roger Staubach
Jimmy Johnson
Bill Parcells
Trent Dilfer
Brett Favre
Kurt Warner

Now let's see the list of guys who think Romo sucks and compare them to the list above.

Who cares about his stats.

Romo's 33 and he's failed in the clutch, his entire life.

There's a reason he was never drafted and so far... he hasn't been able to overcome it.

And three less Superbowl appearances...

.........not ALOT I can say or write to refute that. HOWEVER, I have to wonder if Tony had a team behind him like Flacco does in Baltimore OR Kaepernick in SF if things wouldn't have been different: too bad we'll never find out. Real shame.

He did that 07 cowboys group yielded 7-10 pro bowlers.. plus he had FLo, Davis, Gurode on the online with MB at his prime???? Romo was too young to appreciate what he had instead he was to busy playing in tournaments and dating celebrity girlfriends.

You can say almost anything to refute it. You just see the evidence and don't, for whatever reason.

Now you've done it. I'm sure some of our fans with imaginary superior pedigrees are chomping at the bit to school us on how those named above have either no ability to analyze the quarterback position or are flat our liars.
