Archer (ESPN): Romo Perception Isn't Reality

No doubt the guy was in a serious funk.

I find myself questioning why he wasn't benched in that Bears Game.

I still wouldn't call him a huge part of problem early in the season.

He's been playing a lot better since I've stopped believing in him

So I guess I'll keep that going... BRING ON HIS REPLACEMENT!

Hell with stats at that point you are just trying to do whatever you can and the defense knows it

Yeah, they dug a big hole and helped in doing it.

What gets me, is that in a 16 game season, even the best players will have a couple of really crappy games. it's just some of our fans (I'm not really saying Rynie is one) won't let those games go....ever. It's like they count as 4-5 loses each instead of just one loss in 16 games. And then the good games maybe 1/2 of a win.

I agree, Romo is not without fault but looking at some of the big name QB's they have had their share of stinkers and just as the case with Romo not all the ints are on them.

Stats are great but stats do not tell you that a ball bounced in and out of the hands of the WR into the DB hand all it shows is int. It does not show when a QB is expecting the WR to run a stop rout yet he takes off on a go rout leaving the QB hanging or a WR stopping on a slant rout and anyone who know a darn thing about football knows that QB has to release the ball before the break or else it allows the time for the CB to come back on the ball.

As has been said many times by many coaches QB's get way too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses. As important as the QB is he relys so much on others to do their jobs

The lazy evaluation is to just assume he isn't a winner. Look closely at it. He's the last problem this team has.

Exactly.

But that's not you.

I'm not saying he wasn't a problem, he just wasn't a "HUGE" problem. The stats don't tell the whole story. Most of those INTs were on the WRs (either the wrong route or bouncing off their chest).

He wasn't a "HUGE" liability at all this season. Anyone with an ounce of football knowledge would know this.

Not referring to you on that last one, Hos.

I don't doubt my QB... Get the offensive line up to par.
