Getting Rid Of Romo Isn't The Answer

I don't think you're qualified to judge any thoughts about football knowledge, jobb.

Having to read silly posts every week about how nothing is ever Romo's fault and seeing another list of excuses rattled off for him is simply exhausting. Broken record posting doesn't equal football knowledge.

As a quarterback when you're constantly getting pressure in your face you have to force throws which is why Romo has 15 turnovers on the season. If he as actually getting adequate pass protection and had a clean pocket the turnovers would be far down and the offense would be far more consistent. Rodgers is terrific, but alot like Eli does he has a very consistent and reliable wide recieving core. That doesn't take away from his greatness, but just shows that you need reliable and consistent playmakers to be effective throwing the football.

romo had a clean pocket on interception one and two.

romo has reliable receivers, when orton takes over, you'll see how reliable they can be with a true professional qb!

He's been doing that since Dez was in high school but all of a sudden now these things are because of Dez or Miles? Give me a break. The difference between then and now is age and experience , Romo has both and still makes the worst possible decision. If he takes a couple sacks, maybe throw the ball away yesterday, the cowboys win.

People need to realistically evaluate this guy. This homer stuff and love for Romo is just crazy.

The blind hate for Romo is just crazy. You people refuse to acknowledge the true problems with the team particularly on offense. The recievers are just clueless when it comes to running routes and catching the football consistently. Romo can't throw the football, run the routes for the recievers, and catch the football for them. All Romo can do is throw the football and put it in the right spot. He does that more often that not, yet the idiot recievers still can't catch the ball consistently. Also pass blocking is a big issue. It's been awful this season. Romo is constantly getting pressure in his face which has led to alot of rushed throws this season. The only reason the sack number isn't really high is because Romo has an incredible ability to avoid the pressure and sacks.

I agree.. just as crazy as the blind praise for him.

LOL. I used to be young once and rooted for my Cowboys like they could do absolutely no wrong. That probably ended somewhere around the age of 12. Some people just stay young longer than others.

Good post!

Romo can be very good. The good isnt the issue. And you have stated it well.

myth

this is the biggest sports myth since mcguire and sosa "saved" baseball, deion sanders "shut down" half the field, and now tony romo's "incredible" ability to avoid the pressure and sacks.

i dont believe you, you need more people.

Ignorance is a bit harsh.

Its over analysis. If you look at almost every interception in the NFL, from all QB's, you can find reason to shift blame.

Bottom line is you have to under analyze sometimes and simply look at the results.

You do that if you don't really want to face the truth.

Football is a game with a lot of variables and you have to look at all of them if you want to understand why something happened.

Or in your case, you can just place blame on the most convenient target.

What you posted sounds really good . . . . . . . . .

But,

The ultimate goal of football is to win the game. I think Herm Edwards said something like that.

Turnovers make it much more difficult to accomplish the goal.

Excuses, while seemingly justified, at some point become a tired old song. Blaming a QB who tossed 4 INT's is just slightly more than a "convenient target" to pin it on.

The truth is we lost the game. The truth is the Cows had 6 turnovers. The truth is, Romo had 4 of those turnovers. The truth is, Romo threw the ball. The truth is, w/o those 4 picks there is a very very good chance we win this game. And that is the truth!

Romo is Romo. The very first play when he came in for a benched Bledsoe after being named the new starter at halftime, he threw an interception.

I don't know what's going on this year, but usually he's good enough to overcome his mistakes.

You make a good point. Romo is always having trouble with his WRs. This is not normal. It has been going on for years. Witten seems to be the only guy that he trust. I noticed in the preseason that Orton would throw to any reciever if they were open. Romo won't do it. When Romo leaves Dallas, I think some things are going to come out that will surprise people. Something just doesn't add up with Romo.

On the second one, he threw it too far outside of Austin, which forced him to have to try to go through the defender to get it instead of truly being a jump ball (which is what Eli throws most of the time). Romo might have been trying to avoid allowing the safety to make a play on it (as suggested by the broadcast team), but if he had to throw it back against Austin's momentum to do so, then he shouldn't have thrown it. Now, I do think the corner impeded Austin's ability to get back to the ball (and interference could have been called), but I understand why it wasn't.

If you watch the play, you realize that the throw was SUPPOSE to be to the outside BECAUSE the safety was playing inside and you can see the safety closing and would easily intercept that ball. Austin needed to get outside leverage from the get go AWAY from safety so only ONE defender can play the ball. When Austin ran too far inside and allow himself to be sandwiched between CB and S, the play was doomed. Bad route running.
