Has there ever been a QB as unclutch?

Haha, he may very well could be, the high's and low's with Romo are incredibly frustrating to say the least.

Aikman's loss in San Francisco was against a "Bought Pro Bowl Team" that was unstoppable that year and if I remember correctly damn near came back late in the second half having to throw all game because of the early three tunovers.

The other road loss I remember was against a good Carolina Panthers Dom Capers defensive team and his offensive line was a shambles in that game and took a punishment.

I would think that the fact that Troy himself was playing on a virtual all-star team with one of the best offensive lines ever assembled would hep counteract that. We don't know how this Redskin loss will look until the playoffs are over, but surely you remember they Romo has twice been knocked out by the eventual Super Bowl champs.

As a Cowboys fans, I was never more proud of Troy and the Cowboys than I was watching them claw and scrap their way back into that game against a damn good 49ers team. Troy was awesome in that loss

You do know that Deion Sanders got away with the most blatant PI against Irvin in the history of the NFL that day. If that penalty is called, I have no doubt Dallas scores a TD on that drive and that game takes on an entirely different character. Would have been fun to see...

LOL!! Deion's signature arm bar running with receivers is well documented. I miss those days of the two NFC juggernauts playing in the Super Bowl...oops I mean NFC Championship We owned the NFL in the 90's!!

JG5000s playcalling is as robotic and monotonous as he is. Always snapping on the last second, always the same pattern of calls, never tries to take anyone by surprise. He seems to fit the definition of insanity. He never seems to adjust in real time. They blitz almost every down and we never make them pay til the 4th quarter. Can't blame Tony for that situation.

The only season Garrett looked good was when TO was in his peak. And the OL was buying Romo so much time he could have taken a leak back there each play.

I think that's the better question.

RG3
Mark Sanchez
Peyton Manning
Tom Brady
Big Ben
Luck
Ponder(although AP might be better than all our skill players combined)
Cutler
Wilson
Brees
Rivers

That would be awesome.

Which year? Because every year before the season and during it I hear about how talented we are and how we are super bowl contenders with the roster that we have. Then when Romo plays poorly at the WORST TIME, I hear well he has no one around him. We can't have it both ways.

Of your answers, only Sanchez is accurate.

Ponder? COME ON, Peterson just ran for 2000 yards!!!!!

Did you watch the Cowboys game? See what a consistent, productive running game can do? It can get you into the playoffs with your QB making what, ten pass completions?

Ware also Let RG3 and Morris toy with him, and extend drives, and score....1 play means jack. Romo Threw an early TD

He made a play, gave us the lead...and what does Ware do? Get faked 5+ times on 1 drive for a TD.

Yeah they both suck, if you want to say Romo sucks

Most successful playoff QBs records (like Troy) are padded by home wins when they are playing an inferior lower seed. Romo has not had those games. Steve Young played something like 19 playoff games and only 3 were on the road. He lost them all.

My memory is fuzzy, but didnt Danny rally the Cowboys over the Falcons on the road with 2 TDs late in the game ?

Wilson (3rd/3rd)
Cutler (10th/2nd)
RG3 (1st/18th)
Mark Sanchez (12th/7th)
Tom Brady (7th/17th)
Peyton Manning (16th/9th)
Ponder (2nd/25th)
Big Ben (26th/8th)
Luck (22nd/22nd)
Rivers (27th/19th)

Good stuff, percy.

It's easy to blame Romo. It's lazy too.

Look, I've been accused of being a hater over the years. Mostly because I'm not afraid to criticize my own team. But I can not lay the blame on this team's failures on the QB. That's not to say he hasn't made mistakes, but when you look at his overall body of work he's been good enough to win with. The rest of the team hasn't.

So if you want to plan on winning next year you start with Tony Romo and build around that. Let's actually do this Romo-friendly thing the owner talked about years ago.
