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

[Cowboys22]

What team would have the same record if you took their starting QB away? That is such a BS argument in support of Romo. Who's to say JJ wouldn't have signed Manning if he didn't have Romo or gone and signed another QB. I think everyone agrees that of the current QBs on the team, he gives them the best chance to win on any given Sunday but since the season is now over, we are no longer stuck with just the current QBs. They now have a chance to seek out a better option and that's all us so called haters want. After that latest choke job, it's time to look around and see if something better becomes available. That's all.

Hilarity.

Quality post.

Not making excuses for his last game. But Tony Romo has been making this team relevant since his emergence.

Peyton wouldn't have survived the season behind our line.

Quoted for truth. Not many QBs would have. Romo barely did, and it was painful seeing Tony pull himself off the turf time and time again.

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

A very true fact

You say this why?

Doesn't Peyton have a quicker release than Romo?

[diehard2294]

That's the problem for Romo though.he happens to have a bad game when it matters the most. This team goes as Tony goes! He needs help around him so he doesn't have to feel like it's on him every time

Mobility isn't his strong suit. Romo barely made it thru the season running for his life every week. I'm not sure Manning could have taken all the hits and lasted either.

Time to draft Romo's replacement either this year or next.

Time for you to support your local sheriff because he isn't leaving office anytime soon.

Romo is generally considered to have the fastest release in the NFL. I know that Dilfer has ranked him #1 in his quarterbacks breakdown for fastest release several times, and they did a comparison several seasons ago on the NFL network comparing Romo to Marino and Romo's was actually a hair faster (though most experts still say Marino has the fastest release they've ever seen). I'm surprised that fans don't know that since its Romo's most obvious skill (he doesn't have a cannon or RGIII speed). DLs have always mentioned how fast Romo can get the ball out.

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.”

[View Full Quote]“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?”

So white is saying we lost out on a top 5 pick that might actually turn franchise around. Was his article to supposed to make us feel better

Give me Payton Manning and we are in the SB.

Romo just doesn't have it. He's been a very expensive excuse for non-success of this franchise.

I really don't think Romo was ever really supposed to be more than a backup. But because Parcells had no choice, he got promoted because Bledsoe was washed up.

The failure of this franchase was the lack of vision to go ahead in the last 6 years and not drafting his potential replacement. We did the same thing when Aikman was at the end of his career.

No replacement and a decade of losing followed.

We are doomed to repeat this again.

I see a sharp decline in Romo going forward and we need to draft/trade now for his replacement. And I don't mean some FA signing or retread guy from another team.

I'd like us to draft a young QB we can start grooming and get him ready in say 2 years to take over.

Romo will be run out of town on a rail by then.

Take it to the bank.

It doesn't surprise me Danny White would come to his defense. Another Nar-Do-Well.

He was never supposed to be more than a backup yet he is going to retire owning every Cowboy passing record and is currently the 4th highest rated passer in league history? Making sense isn't exactly your strength, is it? I guess there's hope for Joe Webb yet.
