Ex-Cowboy: Romo’s INTs were his fault, but Cowboys wouldn't have won 3 games w/o him - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Former Cowboy Danny White saw every Tony Romo pass this season as the analyst for the club’s national radio broadcasts. He mostly loved what he saw.

“I’m not sure this team would have won more than three games this season with others at quarterback,” White said. “I’d like to see Peyton [Manning] or some others who aren’t mobile try to perform with what Tony had around him. And I just really liked the way he played the second half of this season, throwing out of the pocket, setting his feet, cutting the interceptions way down. I thought in many ways it was his best season.”

“If you broke down his first 16 interceptions this season, maybe 10 involved some breakdown and six were on him,” White said. “Last night, all three were on Tony. That last one where he didn’t set his feet and tried to throw over a guy, oh, it’s the same kind of throw he made against [the Giants’ Jason Pierre-Paul] that went for a touchdown.

“Every quarterback ought to be entitled to have a bad game. Now I know the next question is: Why does it have to be the biggest game?”

You're the man Danny.. but come on, now.

He speaks the truth. The protection he has in front of him is historically bad.

An annoying truth some fans don't want to admit.

QFT. I think Danny White's been reading my posts. What do you guys think?

I think White is right. Last game Romo made the mistakes and paid for it. I heard he was so upset he threw his helmet and it got intercepted as well.

Such bs. Peyton reads defenses better and gets rid of the ball when he should. If we had Peyton we'd be in the playoffs. Only a fool would think otherwise.

A little before my time, but from everything I have ever seen and read, Danny White was unfairly ripped apart.

Like you know more than Danny does about playing the QB position

The only bs is your post

Manning would have been permanently retired if he had played behind the Dallas line this season...

Get a clue...

PA Cowboy Fan · 01-04-2013

Sorry Danny but I can't agree with you. Manning kept the Colts relevant years after most of their talented players left. And 3 games? The Cowboys won 5 with those awful qbs from the early 2000's. I think he sympathizes with Romo because of the way he was treated by the fans.

Saying the team would have only won 3 games without Romo isn't the truth. Its a hypothetical load of bull.

The funny thing is that most of the us (and I really do mean most) were complaining about Jerry's lack of focus on the offensive line before the season started. Now it is like a forgotten thought that had little impact with the blame being thrown around from players to coaches.

/reality

Danny was a very good QB. He got the blame from those seeking a scapegoat.

You could argue that if we had Peyton he wouldn't have made it past week 3 with this offensive line. It probably explains why he went to the Bronco's and not the 49ers or the Dolphins. Bronco's have one of the best offensive lines in the league and ALWAYS have had a great o-line.

The 49ers have a pretty good offensive line too. I think the reason why Peyton didn't go toe San Francisco is because he didn't want to be in the same conference with his brother.

9ers line is good but its not as good as the Bronco's. And yea I believe part of it was his brother was in the NFC but if his only options were to play in Kansas City or play for the 49ers I believe he would've been in the NFC. Bronco's simply were the best choice for him. The best choice would've been the 49ers but for Peyton it was the Bronco's.
